Flowers as Food.

The flower buds of the marsh
marigold, Caltha palustris, are said
to make excellent pickles. The
common Glove is a dried flower bud,
and It becomes an ingredient of va
rious articles of food. But the most
remarkable of all food flowers is
that produced by the mahua tree
of India, whose. fieshy blossoms
form staple article of food among
the poor. The people of the hill
tribes could hardly exist without a
regular supply of mahua flowers,
which are pulpy and sweet, but
somewhat nauseous to the unac-
custOmed palate. The surplus crop
of these blossoms is to some extent
dried, but the main part of the un-
eaten supply is put into a rude still,
which gives out copious supply of
an exceedingly fiery and irritating
arrack, so strong that it. has to be
diluted with ten or twelve parts of
water before it is considered a safe
article of beverage.

THE C0L0RED
PEOPl E
Dedication of New
Church.

Last Sunday was Colord peoples
day IN Tazewrll. They had the town
almost entirely to themselves. c+r-
tainly the West part Of il, for there
was no room for white people, and
In fact the eOlOred folks were consi-
derably crowded. The occasion was
the dedication of The new Methndist
church, recently completed by the
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Brooks. There was.
at low estimate five hundred col
ored people in and around the church
on Sunday morning and afternoon.
An excursion train from the coalfield
brought about two hundred and
sixty people. Every part of the
county was repre- scented, and a more
orderly, welbehaved and welldressed
crowd of people seldom meet in a
country town.
Great preparations were made Lv
Pastor Brooks and his people to en-
terrain this great crowd. For a
week previous money and lime WAS
spent, and hot spared, in gathering
up chickens, hams, fresh meats.
baking, cakes and pies, etc. Severn
cOlored brethren wore seen with Nc
much as u whole big pie in Que hand,
and cakes IN the other, all at the
same time, and everybody W.
oountlfully ted. Dinner was served
both on the ground and in the homes
OF the people, and the day partook
largely OF the pic-nlc character as
well as of business and worship.
Bishop Hamilton, of Tennessee
was advertised TO be present 10

failed TO come, aud Rev. MI. Diggs.

engineered a collection, which. adj
ded to what had been raised nj the
morning service, amounted TO $249 =

tirely out of debt. The services of
the day closed with sermon at
nlght, by Rev. Mr.. Dickerson. Their.
were present during the services in
the lay nine ministers from the sur
rounding country, and such singing
as TINS large crowd of people render
cd is seldom equalled aud nevar ex-
celled in this or any other country.
Too much cannot be said IN praise
and commentator of Mr.. Brooks
and his people for the splendid work
they have done in the erection of
their splendid new church at a cost
of about 100000. and especially. in
dedieating it free of debt.
Pastor Brooks has proven himself
a name of executive ability, energy
and push. HIS people have stood bv
him, and responded to his calls and
followed his leadership, and his in
fiuence is strensthing, and being felt
more and more every day. He. as
well as his people. appreciate most
heartily, the help which thew have
received from the white people of
the town and community.

Mrs. Sallie Moore Gillespie, wife OF
Charles T. Gillespie, formerly OF Taze-
well County, Virginia, died at her home
In Pikeville. KY, Wednesday evening.
May 2lst, 1902, surrounded by her
husband and children. She had been
a sufferer from consumption for several
months prior to her death, and the end
though not unexpected was none the
less sad Her passing away was easy.
her friends husband and children as
well as a host Of friends did everything
possible, To soothe her last hours.
She was SO years OF age and had
been married thirty five years.
She was sensible of the fact that the
end was near and expressing herself as
willing and ready to go, and just before
breathing her last, she asked that
some one play the organ and sing
her favorite hymns.
Friends We'd with each otherin their
endeavor 10 show kindness to the family
in their sad bereavement
The funeral was preached Friday
May 23rd, by Rev. Mr. c. Reynolds OF
the Methodist church, after which the
remains were laid TO rest I'm the beauti-
full cemetery on the hill overlooking
the town.
She Is survived by her husband and
nine children. The manner OF her
passing away should be great conso-
lation to her children. The end was so
peaceful and happy.
Even to the unenlightened mind c,
the heather 1t does not seem that the
passing OF this life Is the end OF all. Cen
turtles ago when the young King of Argos
was about tC yield up his young life
and sacrifice to the Gods, she whom
he loved fondly, In the wild frenzy of
her grief pleaded with him to tell her
that they should meet again, he an
swered:
81 have asked that dreadful question
OF the hills that look eternal,
or the streams that placid flow for
ever,
or the stars beneath whose fields OF
azure my proud spirit hath trod
in glory;
All were dumb.
- And now while thus gaze upon thy
loving face,
feel, the love that kindles through
its beauty can never wholly
perish
we shall meet again"
Then how consoling it is TO us who
have the blessed assurance OF the
Bible as TO future existence.
1t may be futher said Of the deceased
loved one: IF all for whom she had
done n good act We're TO place flower
upon her tomb, she would sleep be-
meath a wilderness OF flowers"
Peace be to her soul.

WOODSTOCK d, WILDER 8.

Woodstock beat Wilder Friday
in one Of the best games ever seen
OH Vail field.
The game started at 3 o'clock
with llolbrook on the rubber for
Woodstock and Howcs behind the

in set of goose eggs for Wilder
and one score for the locals.

The features Of the game were a
nice catch by Selkirk of a high foul,
Il fine stop of a hot grounder by
Hazen, and Deso's monopoly of as
sists in the first inning or two. Hol-
brook by fine headwork pulled HIM
self out of some nasty holes, and
Howes did good work behind the
bat. st. John pitched we'll. being

and fielding, but did al-around
good work in this opening game.

A BACKWARD SEASON.

Farmers seem to have cause fol-
complaining Of the threatening crop
outlook, March weather in May and
June making the season unusually
late. Corn has been at ii standstill
and was about two weeks behind on
July Ist. Beans and potatoes are
also backward on account Of the
cold, wet season.
Hay will hardly be more than an
average crop, though it got good
start in May.
The apple crop in this section is
not likely to be large, and high
prices will probably rule again. Re-
ports from Grand Isle and Chitten-
den counties, however, where some
of Vermont's best fruit comes from,
are to the effect that an unusually
heavy crop is expected. For the
present dried apples are quoted at
mar
