Still Use Revenue Stamps

Some people have not yet learned that
revenue stamps are not necessary GER
tain classes of documents. although they
nave not been in common since last
July Every day or two bond for a
notary's commission is filed with the state
OFFICERS bearing on it the revenue stamp
the same as formerly. 1t seems peculiar
that a person who is capable of being a
notary public should not have learned
eSSary.

Notarial Commissions Which Go to
Waste

1t is a peculiar fact that many persons
who apply for commissions as notaries
public and pay the necessary fee never
file their bonds nor send for their com
missions. Such commissions are kept for
them until they expire and are then de-
stroyed- Only a few days ago E S
Knight. commission clerk in the office of
the secretary of state, went through a

NO BACKBONE IN NEW YORK.

A stranger in New York asked for
backbone in restaurant the Other day
and was informed that the article was
not known 10 any first.ciass restaurant
in the town. Maybe that is 30.
Backbone is q winter delicacy 10 the
South. Any southerner will tell you
that back Done Ia hol meat. 1t ls not
all meat, OF course. There is q pre-
ponderance of bone. and it comes from
that part Of the hos iudicated by name.
The meat is tender. provided the hog
has not been permitted to outlive all
other hogs on the plantation, Running
through the links which compose the
bone is a filling OF marrow. To the cul-
tivs,ed taste of southerner this mar.
row is the most delicate substance of
lbe porker.
Il is be sauce of tho hog. 1t gives
the meat on the backbone a flavor
which makes backbone a delicacy In
the South.
In ante-bellum days in that part oi
the country when every planter put up
his own hog meat for the winter, the
back bone was always taken out 10 itt
entirety when the hog was killed and
sailed down. When taken out and
properly cooked-there is only one way
to cook back bone and that is by boil
iug-it was highly esteemed dish or
the southern gentle mans table.
Like all meats served In the South
1t was brought on hot. OF courss there
was pone oornbread, hot from the oven
Au invitation to such dinner canset
the mouth OF the invited guest to wstel
more than the memory of the best ap
plej sex that ever gurgled past the pa.
ate.
Perbspe 1t is as we'll that no New
York caterer should ever try to Intro
duce backbone. 1t can be prepared
only 10 the land where 1t originated.

The Last Sad Rites

Many hearts i'll Wilmington today throbbng
in sympathy for frai woman who so bravelyis bear
ing her burden of woe, and many an eye fills with
tears as thoughts fly TO Canton to the solemn cere
monies attending the burial of the beloved President
On Tuesday night the dead President started OH his
last journey homeward AS the funeral train hur-
ried on its mournful journey, thousands of people
stood in the rain to offer their last farewell and to
catch a heeting glimpse Of the hagcovered caslet
Canton had made ready for the welcome of her
honored SON. She had welcomed him in other days
with cheers flying banners and triumphant blasts For
the last time she welcomed him in silence and
draped in solemn black: Only the wall of the dirge
or the sobs of bereaved people, break the stiffness.
At IL o'clock yesterday morning the funeral train
arrived III Canton. The body of the President was
conveyed to the Court House, where it lay in state
until 8 o'clock last night Shortly after that hour
the body was removed to the late residence of the
President. It especially fitting that the last
night should be spent i'll the old home.
Early this morning the body was removed to the
Court House, where it again lay in state until it is
time for the services to begin These will be held in
the First Methodist Episcopal Church, of which the
