Farmers Institute at Nuncy

Without the least doubt the best
institute ever held in the county

farmer in the county should be pres

1t seems that these cuterprising

the markets. They could buy these
eggs of the grocer5 for a pittance, be-
cause they were absolutely unsail-

them to an obscure shop is some

poured them out in bulk, adding
formaldehyde to prevent further de
cay, bOraX to nentralIZe the bad
odor and beer to freshen up the mass
and make it appear like live eggs.
This mixture was then sold to
bakers, who used it in cakes and
pastries. Restaurant keepers also
bought it for making omeIets, etc.
Notwithstanding the close watch
! that is kept upon the puryeyOrs of
food products, there are always CON

a very interesting debate took
place on tho 25th. day of November
1898 Mt the Elk Lick school between
Miss Flora Cook, teacher and three
pupils of the seventh grade.
Subject: Resolved that Thanks
giving is more important day
than Christmas. Those on the posi-
tive side, Miss Flora Cook, teacher.
Those on the negative side were
Dolly Suider, Adona Sick, and Anna
Cox. But there being 40 judges to
give the decision which side came
out best, they both claim the honor.
Bat all visitors present conpli-
mented the Negative side on how
