The bright Jewels" under
care of Mrs. league, gave a
very pleasant entertainment of
songs, recitations, and conver-
sations at the Methodist church
Sunday night.
The health Of Fremont has
been exceptionally good this fall,
due most likely to the general
use during the summer and fall
of water in a large tank, deliver
ing it twice a day from the the
early spring to the first of Nov
ember.
Mrs. Mary A. Exum, who excels
in flower culture as she does in
many other good works, gave
Mrs. Morgan a fine bunch Of
Roses Sunday afternoon. The
flowers were picked from bushes
growing in the open air and il
lustrate what a fine climate we
b Ave.
There is a large amount of cot
ton on the yard here, vacant lots
are filed up, and still it comes

farming sections in the state FIRE.
mont certainly seems to have a
great future IN prospect.
A large number of turkeys
stopped gobbling in the vicinity
of this town on the occasion of
Thanksgiving Day. A sparsely
attended service, conducted by
Prof. Morgan, was held IN the
Methodist church AL the BUSH
ness houses, except the bar-rooms
closed for the day. This awful
trade in intoxicants, perverting
human happiness, blasting hopes,
making slaves of wives and de-
mons of husbands, rendering
children homeless and shoeless,
and setting on fre-of-hell the
basest Of human passions, can't
| stop even while the nation gives
thanks to Almighty God. Sure
ly the liquor dealers everywhere
ought to be thankful for the mer-
cy that doubtless restraints the
thunderbolts of Gods wrath.
But it is a business that can not
look Godward.

LONDON, Aug. 30.-Commenting on

the Transvaal government, to the effect
that the South African republic ad-

HOME OF EDAM CHEESE.
Where the Familiar Red Balls Are
Manufactured The
Process.

While the Edam cheese is a familiar
visitor on the table, not every one
knows whence it comes nor how its cam
non ball proportions and gay coloring
have been achieved. The northern part
OF Holland is the seat of the Edam
cheese industry, and the consequent
cleanliness of the relish is therefore
doubly assured. In making it the fresh
cows milk is carefully strained and
the rennet added. As soon as the milk
curdles the whey is drawn off and the
the curd, thoroughly kneaded, is press
ed into molds. This process is repeated
until the whey has all been extracted
and the curd is omparatively dry. 1t
is then wrapped in linen cloth and
kept for ten or twelve days until quite
solid. Then the cloth is removed and
the cheese put into salt lye. Afterward
little more dry salt is sprinkled on the
cheese, until the maker thinks it is salt
enough to insure its keeping. 1t next
put into a vessel, and washed with
whey and scraped to remove the white
crust. 1t is next carried into cool
room and laid on shelves, where it is
frequently turned The ripening proc
ess lasts from two to three months, the
round balls growing the fine yellow or
reddish color peculiar to Edam cheese
The cheeses intended to be exported |
to this country are rendered still more
brilliant by dyeing the rind with
vegetable dye.-N. Y. Tribune.
