A Talk About
Hams!

In order 70 make a good Ham
what has TO be done' We'll. in
the FIRST place the best kind Of
pig to cut Hams from is a nice
corn-fed Vermont porker Those
are the kind we use.
Then, after you've got the
right sort Of pork, the rest of it
ali depends on the way il is
cured. Now everybody doesn't
know how to cure a Ham-in
fact every market-man doesn't
know how to cure one right.
Il takes years Of experience to
learn just how strong to make
the brine in which the Hams
are picked, just how long to
smoke them and do the rest Of
the curing.
The men that cure our Hams
know how They've learned
BY years Of practical work.

Stone County Man Attempted To Fleece
Citizen And Landed in Jail.
(Batesville Guard


News has reached the city OF
an attempt of one of the
boldese hold-ups ever made in
this part of the country Sunday
night at Marcella. From the
best Information obtainable it ap-
pears hat on Friday W. E. Davis
a wealthy man of Stone county,
received an anonymous letter de-
manding that he place 81 900 in
a certain hollow tree at a certain
time, md if the request was not
comp: ed with that his life would
be taRen and his property would
be de! royed by fire. Davis an
sweree the letter saying that the
demands would be complied with,
but on Sunday night, instead of
sending the money, he and his
brother went to the place and
concealed themselves near by to
wait for the appearance of the
party At the proper time a man
by the name of Webb, a new
comea, appeared and proceeded
to extract the coveted prize from
the tree, when the Messrs. Davis
arrested him and turned him over
to the officers.
An examining trial was had
yesterday and Webb was held in
the sum of $1,000 to await the
action of the grand jury. Not
being able to make bond he is
now in Jail.

society is torn from center to cir
cumference over the delicate and
personal question OF waist lines.
All the trouble started from a
"girth measure social" which
was held this week by the Will
merding Wesleyan Society to
raise funds for the benefit Of the
church. Every person attending
the social had to be measured
Admission was one cent for every
inch of girth the tape measure
showed. Refreshments were
furnished free.
The waist measure social was a
great success. The fat girls
pulled their corset strings a bit
tighter to save money, and the
thin ones let theirs out trifle
and loaded up on dried apples
and water just before leaving
home, even at the added expense
to their escorts.
The young man who handled
the tape measure is accused of
having been unnecessarily slow

TRIPLE PARACHUTE DROP TO-
 DAY.

Wonderful Feat of Daring at White
 City-MncIz Shot Out of Cannon Yes-
 terday.
 Johnny Mack, the daring young aero- naut of Prof. Flowers American Ball. loon company yesterday afternoon startled great throng of people at the White City by being shot out of can non over mile in midair. Young Mack under the direction of Prof. Flower, is the only balloonist now per- forming this perilous feat. The great est care has to be taken in the arrange ment of the apparatus as the very slightest displacement of one of the smallest ropes might cause the aero naut to be dashed to pieces. When Mack is showed into the cannon he is practically helpless. He can see noth- ing, and risks his life solely on the pre- cision with which Prof. Flower car ries out every detail of the intricate arrangements.
 Yesterday the ascension was perfect. The balloon was sailing at a height of about a mile when Prof. Flower fired the cannon, the signal for Mack to set off the fuse which eventually resulted in the explosion that shot him out of the cannons mouth. A great cry of ad- miration went up from the people when they saw that everything had gone off perfectly and safely. It was a wonder ful spectacle.
 Prof. Flower will this afternoon give the triple parachute drop. He consid- CTS this the most marvellous and peril ous feat of modern ballooning and his men are the only ones doing it in the country or for that matter, so far as known, the only ones in the world. Go not fail to see the grand spectacle of the night ascension and parachute drops followed by the 50,000 candle pow CT searchhght.
 Every visitor to the White City re- ceives free a ticket which may result in their being awarded Thursday night some of the handsome silver tableware now on exhibition at the gate. Next week Manager Speck in addition to a fife list of silverware will also give away $500 piao.
