INQUIRIES Answered.

A Reader writes. Could you plase
give me a good recipe for stuffed toma-
toes and hashed brown potatoes?
STUFFED TOMATOES.
Select tomatoes that are very firm,
smooth and of uniform size Cut a small
slice from the stem end of each and
carefully remove the seeds without
breaking the outside wall of tomato.
Make a sutffing as fillows: For six me-
diminished tomatoes one and one-half
cups of bread crumbs, one and one-half
teaspoonful of salt, quarter Of teaspoon
full of pepper, little minced onion or juice
and two teaspoonfuls of melted butter.
Mix all well together; dust inside of the
tomato with salt and pepper and fill each
tomato full; put bit of butter on TOP
of each, place the tomatoes in a baking
dish, not crowding them and bake in a
tomatoes should be tender but not brok-
en-. Serve hot from same dish. They
may be stuffed with cold cooked meat
chopped fine and well seasoned or with
rice. etc.
flashed BROWN POTATOES.
There are two ways of preparing these;
one method is to hash them in cream
sauce and bake in the oven. The favorite
way, however. for breakfast, is to boil
potatoes in their skins until they are just
tender, no longer. peel them and when
cold chop very fine, seasoning to taste
with salt and pepper as you chop Put a
little butter In a frying pan and when
hot put in the hashed potatoes packing
them down smoothly; then place on the
range when they will cook slowly for
fifteen or twenty minutes Do not stir
them. When nice brown color on the
bottom and dry and houry looking on
top they are done. Fold them over care
fully like an omelet and turn out on
hot plate and garnish with parsley and
drilled tomatoes.

JUDGE ]. B. PERRY Died
YESTERDAY MORNING
AN OLD AND RESPECTED CITIZEN HAS
PASSED AWAY.
Succumbed to Beckonings of the White
Anaei After Living the Allotted
Three Score Years and Ten.
udoe John B. PER-, is dead.

Judge John B. Perry is dead.
He breathed his last at his residence
ON Stonewall street Tuesday morning
at four O'Clock, his bedside surrounded
by loving relatives and soicitous
friends.
In Judge Perry's death Dawson and
Terrell county bose one of their Oldest
and staunchest citizens. Personally
he was as we'll, if not better, known
than any man in the county. Coming
to Terrell from MeDuffie county in his
early manhood, he entered into o0sl-
ness with that close application aud
shrewd foresight which was to lay
success at his feet IN the years to come.
Mr.. Perry lived at first near Cordray's'
Init moved thence to Dover, where he
merchandised for several years. and
where his business career began. In
1857 he came to Dawson, remaining IN
that business till 1865, when he
established a private banking busl-
ness, In 1885 this was merged into
the First State Bank, which has since
been one of the very foremost OF Daw-
sons business institutions. and OF
which be has been president since It's
foundation. BY industry and business
capacity Judge Perry accumulated an
estate of about $500, 600, and was at the
time of his death one of the wealthiest
men in southwest Georgia.
Judge Perry was esteemed by every
one OF his acquaintance. Hearty and
bluff in his manner, he would not have
knowingly trampled on the feelings OF
any one. The unmistakable CLEAN OF
kindness was always in his eye. his
voice and his hand clasp. His chart
ties were no insignificant feature OF
his life, though done in characters
tic way of Observation-Disclosures.
Judge Perry was nearly 70 years of
age at the time of his death and is sur
vived by his wife and one child, Mrs,
j. r. Mercer, and other relatives. He
had been a member of the Methodist
church for number of years, and, as
his bodily strength failed, his spirit
chastened and purified, mellowed and
ripened for a better cline. He was az
honest man and good christian.
Honest with God and man, no hands
were ever folded over clearer or
whittier conscience.
The funeral obsequies will occur
from the family residence this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock, and will be conducted
by Rev. +. B. tombstone OF Macon
and Rev. E. M. Whining OF Fl. Valley,
both former pastors of the deceased.
