II Is q commonplace thing in a meat
shop to see a butcher seize hold on
a huge round Of beef and slash on

or two and half pounds just, or six
pounds Just. according to the order.
The buyer Of meat wants to get
the weight he asked for, no more and
no less, and he wants this weight in
one piece, not in one big piece and
two or three little ones.
To satisfy the buyer, the butcher
has been compelled to acquire ex'

PLEASANT DINNER IN JAPAN.
Member of Recent British Mission
Tells Of the Repast.

An old-fashioned Japanese dinner In
Kyoto is described by Lord Redesdale,
who accompanied Prince Arthur Of
Connaught on the recent British mis-
sion to Japan. Lord Redesdale says:
"The invitation specially stipulated
that we should come In Japanese
dress, and as the mayor had very kind
" presented us each with a suit, for
which he had actually sent a man all
the way to Toxic, when We first ar
rived there, to take our measures, we
could only do as he wished. How to
put on q suit Of Japanese clothes was
q problem which none Of us was COM
petent to solve. There were knots and
bows to be tied, Of which only the
initiated possess the secret, involving
possibilities of solecisms not to be
thought of. However, there were will
ing and cunning hands ready to help
and by the time the carriages were
ready we were all rugged out as Jap
anese gentlemen. perfectly correct,
even to the incest fold.
"A more comfortable dress It would
be difficult to find, cool In summer,
warm and coy In winter. Why did
the Japanese abandon 1t for our clum-
~ costume? Only one thing came
amiss to me. The white socks. with
their division for the big toe. seemed
to cut me; but that is a matter OF
habit. In this matter Of dress the
mayors dinner reached the height Of
topsy-turvydom. For, whereas the
English guests were all in Japanese
robes, the Japanese guests were all
in European coats. Admiral Togo,
Gen. Kuroki and the others had not
brought their kimonos with them on
this journey, so they were compelled
to dine In what clothes they had.
1T was curious sight and the man
agement OF chopsticks by some Of our
party was not quite what might have
been expected Of gentlemen SO attired.
The black cloth coats were quite at
home with them; the kimonos. on the
contrary, were very much puzzled, and
not averse to a little help from small,
clever hands. In taking their seats
upon the mats, too. the coats had much
the best of 1t, the poor kmonos
sprawling about in very ungainly at
titudes. All this was very amusing to
the pretty little geishas, who were
busy serving the dinner and who could
mot conceal their merriment."

Decatur News Letter.

De catur, Aug. 9 1906. In
every short while Decatur re-
ceives d boom. The last week
has given one of those whiles.
Hence the old cat has never died
Miss Edna Canton, who has for
the past eight months acted as
book keeper and cashier for a
doctor and druggist at Selma
Ala is heme spending a few
weeks with her folks and
friends. She likes her position
spIendidly and intends to return.
Selma is one of those towns
which are found SO frequent in
the South where the Negro is
awake and doing something.
Also Miss Mammie Cousins, of
Warsaw, Ky. is again visiting
her brotner, Mr.. Bert Cousins
our m )st proficient carpenter.
Miss Cousins plans to spend
some time. She is worthy and
l hope she is welcome. Miss
Maggie Murrell, our we'll known
Decatur girl, scholar and stud
ent, has not been 10 Decatur for
two years. Miss Murrell is no
stranger to u.s.. and we think
quite deal of her. She is one
Of those few girls really worth
while. She has proven to De-
catur that poverty need not be
an excuse for inactivity. In
spite OF her inconvenient eoviro
ments she has accomplished
something of worth. After fin
ishlng our High School with class
honOrs she flushed a four year
course at Ann Arbour, then she
taught nearly two years at Tus-
kegee, at this point she was
offered a better position at Wash
ington, D. G. She was not there
long, however, until she was
given an increase. Miss Mnrrell
now receives $4,000 per month
with expenses. This is not TO
be scotfed at; and whatever false
accusations we may lay against
her, she is still a Negro repre-
sentative who deserves our re-
spect.
Saint Peters A. M. e Church
is not dead to the fact that the
wotld about her is doing business
nor is she failing to rectify her
poorly made steps. Rev T. w
H. Jackson is largely the cause.
During his stay Of eight months
the church has paid debts to the
amount of $3.50 .00over and above
the church expenses and minis.
ster's salary We are now in
formed that there is more monen
in the Treasure than at the be-
ginning of the year, now two
plans are laid out, a part of the
members advocate remodling of
the building; another part wants
a new building. The church is
aroused; and one of the two plans
is very likely to be carried out.
