Special 10 The Meus.


Jackson, Nov. 12.-Before finally
adjourning the regular term of Fed
eral court last night Judge Niles gave
Clarence Turner, white man, prob
ably the heaviest sentence for selling
liquor that has ever been imposed in
this State, sending him to the Federal
penitentiary in Atlanta for two years,
in addition TO giving him a fine Of
800. this being the maximum penalty
in such cases. Turner left here last
night for Atlanta, in charge of a dep
uty marshal.
The sentence was pronounced after
a recounting by the Judge of some of
the reasons, among which was the
fact that Turner had been a trouble
some factor in both the Federal and
the State courts, and that at least
two deaths of law officers had oc-
Cured in front of his place of bust
ness in Durant, for which Turner
was believed to be at least indirectly
if not directly responsible.

ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPES
TO HAVE BUT LITTLE
COMPETITION.

Every summer there is usually con-
siderable competition between Sweet
Mountain and Rocky Ford cantaloupes-
the former being raised principally In
Tennessee, while the latter is a West
ern product.
This summer, from all indications
the Rocky Ford will have things its
own way.
II Is pretty well settled that the Sweet
Mountain, which IS one Of the best
favored melons cultivated, viii be re-
ceiyed on the market here this season
in limited quantities. Last year the
Tennessee growers did lot have the
best success with their cantaloupe crop
and, as a result, a limited acreage has
been planted this spring.
Reports from the West, on the other
hand, indicate that the Rocky Ford has
been planted to a big acreage. Ship
ments Of this melon should be even
greater this summer than they were a
year ago, and the shortage OF the Sweet
Mountain is not expected TO make prices
high.
The Sweet Mountain melon will not
be on the local market before the latter
part Of July.

DELICIOUS DAINTIES
FOR TERNOON TEA
RisSoles and RiSsolettes Can
Easily Be Made at
Home.

The hostess who wants novelties for
her afternoon tea or card party can
find them in rissoles and rissolettes,
that can be made at home quite as
deliciously as by the caterer.
A rissole is nothing put a croquette
wrapped in pastry and fried in boiling
lard. Special irons come for frying
these dainties, but they are not neces-
sary.
Roll out thin squares OF puff paste,
and on top place croquette mixture of
chicken. stirred into a well-seasoned
white sauce. and nodded when cold into
regular croqUette shapes. Fold the pas
try around the meat, seal the edges
with white of egg, dip into egg and
wei seasoned bread crumbs and fry in
boiling lard.
Rissolettes are sheets of pastry rolled
very thin and dotted with currant
Jelly. orange msrmalade or any desired
preserve. A large sheet of pastry is
rolled thin. covered with dots Of the
preserve and topped by another sheet
of pastry.
To prevent the jam from spreading
the pastry about the jelly is wet with
ice water for about half an inch in.
Cut in circles, diamonds, or any desired
shape, pinch the edges together, brush
with white of egg and cinnamon.
These rtsolettes can either be fried
IN hot lard, or. what is easier, baked
in a hot oven for about fifteen minutes.
