For Thanksgiving
~ Dinner. II.

When visions of Thanksgiving dawn on
ne mental horizon of the housewife who
- planning a family reunion, or for extra
guests. the first thought that enters her
mind Is the dinner menu. So absorbing

Martha, that in the hurry and hustle Of
oullnary preparation she Is apt to forget
that there are other things besides a fine
dinner which will greatly add to the sue
cess OF the Thanksgiving festivities.
An the season comes when flowers n
foliage have so lately persisted the outer
world seems barren, and. therefore it be-
comes necessary to infuse as much good
cheer as possible Indoors. to give an add
Cd feeling OF warmth and welcome to the
guests.
The chief consideration in this direction
will, Of course. be the table, which should
not only groan with its burden of good
things to eat, but should be madea attract

 Mir. Hutchinson made a visit to the office of State Auditor J. M. Carmichael where he found the figures already compiled in all of the Alabama coun- ties except Barbour.

I have the honor of Knowing MT. Jordan personally. I have known him for many years. knew him when he rep- resented h,s county In the Georgia Leg islature. He has grown remarkably in the estimation of the whole country. This applies nowhere more forcibly than in his home State.

 Dr. M. R. Franklin of Philadelphia, General Financial Secretary. was tn- troduced and made an interesting talk on this department. He said that never before had such profound interest been manifested in the finance of the church. that many of the conferences are rais- ing more than their assessments.

 Speeches were made by Revs. Finley, F. H. Jones. A. S. Watkin. Cumings and w. s. Meadows, who assured the gem eral ofiicer that this conference is deeply interested in the financial de- pertinent of the church. Rev ]. H. Hale from the Baptist Church, J. s. McKenzy, D. Sims. P. c.

 Experience has shown that the prime requisites of really Good Beer are three in number--superiority of the materials treatment in the brewing and proper maturing or ageing before mar keting.
 Perhaps first of importance is the na- ture and character of the materials used. The Anheuser- Busch Brewing Associa- ton, whose product. BUDWEISER, has come to be considered as standard from which Beer-Quailty is to be tudg- ed, have found that materials of the very highest quality only can be used. if really Good Beer is. to result. They have found also. that of all materials permissible in brewing, only the best quality of Barley-Malt. the choicest gr ade of Hops. superior quality Yeast, with perhaps a small percentage of the best Rice can be deuended upon to pro. duce a Beer of the highest degree or quality, flavor and paiatability.
 This Association confirms what IS generally admitted among brewers that to produce Beer of excellence, expen- sive modern methods of brewing must be followed and the most rigid sanitary precautions observed at all stages. Cleanliness. Purity and careful Steril- ization are considered vitafly essential by them in common with all good brew CTS.
 Anheuser- Busch also contends that the exquisite flavor and acknowledged healthfulness of Budweiser is to be at tributed, 10 a great extent. to their ex- treme care in maturing and ageing. Their storage capacity of over 6o0.0oo barrels makes 1t unnecessary for them to market their product until properly aged. and in consequence 1t possesses to the greatest degree the quality, mellow ness and flavor which has caused Bud weiser to be termed by those who know sThe King Of Bottled Beers" adv.

Preferring rather. to snatch turkeys than to earn an honest living at boot bIacking, Albert Thorington. a negro, Is sentenced to do ffty-six days of hard labor for the city or else pay $2s into the City Treasury.
 i Albert is a coal black negro, wiry in form and possessipG an elongated head. He has beengknown as one of the best bootblacks of Montgomery, but Saturday afternoon he started on his downward career. He disgraced him. self in the eyes of his colleagues by slickly capturing three fine gobbler tur- keys from a country wagon on sCourt Square.
 Ivey Harris, an ante-bellum darkey. lives on the country place of W. D.. Harris has a wagon and Harris has recently grown some fat gobbler turkeys. Early Saturday morning liar ris started to the city with five of the best gobblers he had in stock. He put a value of $1.50 on each head, and de- clared he would not sell for a farthing less He reached the city about noon and made his way to Court Square. He readily found sale for two of his tur- keys and while delivering them on Commerce Street left his wagon unat- tended on the Square. While Harris was away Albert Thorington spied the tureS ROoDieTc iu tHS "dSVu. AiuSit slowly edged to the vehicle and pres- ently he found by his side. Crazy Bob. q half-witted negro who is said to have . pernfcious habit of thieving fits.
 "Crazy Bob" was gasing at the ius- cious turkeys, thinking what a fine Christmas repast they would make when he beard the voice of Albert.
 "want ter make CT dime, Bob?'' in- quired Albert.
 T sho' does." gladly responded Bob.
 s'welI. dis is my wagon an desc is my turkeys. Ise jess sold 'em to a white man up de street. Take dem turkeys out CT de wagon, come wid me / an you can get de dime"
 Cras Bob at once climbed into the wagon, gathered up the gobblers and was soon following Albert up South Court Street. ... ssYeu go back to de wagon an, will be dere terreckly," said Albert
 Bob assented and walked back to town. Albert carried the turkeys to the residence of aw. A. Saffold. 22l Moulton Street, and there he approached

 ployed by Mir Saffold.
 i've got three turkeys" said Albert
 with a straight face. de boss bought
 one fer dollar. I'll put all three of
 'em in de coop an come back in min
 ute fer my two. I must go down to
 police headquarters right away. My
 daddy is in de lock up. Gimme CT or
 der on de boss an I'll go."
 Lula went into the house. and soon
 returned with an order on MT. Saffold
 which she handed the negro.
 Albert never returned. Crazy Bob
 was back at tho wagon. He waited
 long time for his dime but Albert never
 appeared. Pretty soon, however, Har-
 r.s returned to his wagon, found his
 turkeys gone. and a cast a suspicious
 glance in the direction of Bob. The haif-witted negro at once narrated to
 Harris the circumstances under which
 he had enormously taken his fowls. "I'Il give you a dime sho nuff," said Harris to Bob. If you will take me to where dem turkeys is" Oats easy,' said Bob, T watched
 dat nigger. Come right along"
 In a few minutes Bob had directed Harris to the SaffoId residence. He ex- plained to Lula Moore that the fowls had been stolen from him and 1t was not long before he was again in pos session or ms gopDieFs- harTis uiu SiNc Bob a dime and Bob then disappeared from the train of events.
 In the meantime Albert ThorinEton had confided the history of his theft to one of his supposed friends, Claud Do- zier, but Claud proved to be Brutus Albert gave the dollar order to Claud for collection and Claud pretended to make an effort for collection but he did not go to MT. Saffold's office. He danced off to police headquarters and informed the sergeant that he had man they wanted. The police had been previous ly notified by Harris. The result was that Patrolman Lacy, in few seconds, had Albert Thorington under arrest and brought him to the station.
 Before the Recorder yesterday Thor ington was faced by three damaging witnesses and Recorder Baber imposed a fine of $25 and costs. Albert slickly maintained that he was not guilty but that Crazy Bob had made him the dime proposition. He accepted and was caught in a trap. Alberts narrative lacked congruity and the sasacious
 bootblack was ripped up by Police Cap tain Taylor on gross examination. Albert ThoriHgton is serving the city. ! He will eat bacon and greens at police headauatrers on Christmas Day when l other negroes may be feasting on tur- key.
