CAPT. PHIL E. BOYD DEAD
Uncle OF Mayor Mercer Died at His
Home in Leary Saturday Night
from Stroke OF Paralysis.

News of the death on Saturday
night of Capt. Phil E. Boyd of Leary

On Tuesday of last week Captain

condition was serious, and the best
physicians of this section were sum-
moned to his bedside, but to no avail,
and at 1890 o'clock Saturday night
breathed his last surrounded by loved
ones and friends.
Captain Boyd was 81 years of age
and was unmarried. He was a native
of Calhoun county, and in his death
southwest Georgia loses one of her
best and wealthiest citizens. He was
one of the most extensive farm owners
in south Georgia, and was we'll known
throughout this section. He was an
uncle of Mayor j. r. Mercer and
Mrs. p. G. Colley of Dawson, and
had many friends in this city.
His remains were Inferred in the
Leary cemetery Monday morning,

The pail bearers from the residence
to the street were eight young men,
clerks in Captain Boyd's store at

the pail bearers were eight old-time
darkies, who had been in Captain
Boyd's employ for a long number of
years, no hearse being employed.

HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES.

When peeling onions begin at the
| loot end and peel upward, and the
onions will affect the eyes scarcely
at all.
To remove fruit stains stretch the
fabric containing the stain over the
mouth of basin and pour boiling wa
ter on the stain. In cold weather fruit
spots can frequently be removed by
hanging the stained garments out Of
doors over, night If the stain has
been fixed by time, soak the article
in a weak solution of oxalic acid, or
hold it over the fumes of sulphur.
In buying canned goods examine
the can carefully, and if the sides
bulge reject them, as this denotes the
presence of gas, which renders the
contents unfit for food.
One of the latest ideas is that cell
cry is a cure for rheumatism. 1t is
asserted that the disease is impos-
sible if the vegetable be cooked and
| freely eaten. The celery should be
cut into pieces and boiled in water
| until soft, and the water drunk by the
! patient. Put new milk, with a little
-four and nutmeg into saucepan with
the boiled celery, serve it warm with
pieces of toast, eat it with potatoes,
and the painful ailment will soor
yield.
The Lancet advocates the use OF
| snaiIs as food. The snail, it says, has
been called the poor mans oyster"
It makes an excellent fish sauce and
may be used for the same purpose as
oyster sauce. Care must be exercised
in the choice of the snail for food pur-
poses. as it is we'll known that snails
feed on poisonous plants, and 1t is
the custom in France to allow a few
days to elapse after they have been
taken from their feeding ground in
order that any poisonous matter may
be eliminated.
If horseradish is to be grated the
simplest way is to put it through the
meat chopper.
To prevent making great dust in
sweeping use moist sawdust on bare
floors. If the floor is carpeted, mois
ten a newspaper, tear it into small
pieces and scatter over the floor. The
carpet will look much brighter than
if swept in the ordinary way.
Hot water and soap generally re-
move grease spots. If fixed by long
standing, use either chloroform or
naphtha. Both these must be used
away from fire or artificial light.
If eggs that are to be boiled hard
are put into rapidly boiling water the
