Jan. 9.--(Special.l Shortly before o'clock this evening the city of Selma, by legal process, served mo- tice upon the managers of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies and the Selma Lighting Company Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- graph Company and the Selma Street and Suburban Railroad Company. cit- ing the managers to several ordinances which during the past year have been passed by the city council that all companies using poles and wires shall move them from the streets which are soon to be paved.
 The managers of both the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Com panies affect their companies. The Postal has never had a pole on eith- CT Water or Broad streets. which are to be paved while the Western Union Company moved it's poles from these streets several weeks ago. when the last city ordinance regulating the mat ter was passed.
 The telephone, the lighting company and the street railroad company all have poles and wires strung upon these streets but several weeks ago an agreement was reached between the three companies as to the use of poles.
 The telephone company will erect poles on one side of the street on the sidewalk curbing and the street rail- road company will do the same on the opposite side of the street and on these poles the wires of the three diff ferent concerns will be strung.
 The telephone company will begin the work Monday of placing its poles on the outer edge of the sidewalk. With the settlement of this matter with the different companies 1t is now certain that the work of paving will begin wlhin the next few days. FrOhllch Boy I.Oaea Arm.

or course, chop should be grilled,
but in many households the necessary
clear fire is not always obtainable.
1t takes some time to prepare a fire
for grilling. When the surface is a
red glow all over, without any flame
or smoke, then the fire is ready for a
grill
The chops should at least be an inch
thick, neatly trimmed. The gridiron
must be held over the fire for an in-
slant TO warm; then wiped thoroughly
with a clean cloth; then rubbed on
both sides with a piece of suet, and it
is ready for the chop.
This may be allowed to cook on one
side for minute or two 1t is then
turned, with pair of cooking tongs
for choice. If fork is used insert it
in the fat, and not in the lean. Turn
the chop every minute, and it will be
done in from ten minutes to a quarter
of an hour. The principle involved is
this:
The fierce heat of the fire dries the
outer fiber of the meat and forms a
sort of thin crust or casing. This re-
tains all the juices of the meat. which
would escape and be lost were it
pierced with the fork
Where there is no time to prepare
proper grilling fire. a chop can be
cooked in front of a fire, though it
loses that flavor of the fire." which is
so delicious yet SO difficult to describe.

brown gloss that she has seen on
pastry made by professional cooks.
The recipe is simple. An egg is we'll
beaten up with tiny bit of sugar.
Add a small quantity of milk, beat
we'll together and with a small pastry
brush go over the pie after it is ready
to be placed in the oven. Another way
and very simple one to gloss the
crust is to rub it over with cold water
before baking.
