kettle and heat to $50 degrees. but do not
let it boil. Skim off all that rises to the

fruit jars that have been well scaldeh,
While filing the jar set it on a wet cloth
to prevent cracking-(We suggest that

Florence is provided with a baptistry un-
der the pulpit platform which is used
instead of a creek on occasions of bap-
thing converts who join this church.
At the close of the mornino services
at the Baptist church last Sunday, the
church held conference and extended
Rev. w. S. Allen, the present pastor
an indefinite call to the PASTORAL care
of the church, but he has not yet intima-
ted as to whether he will accept. DLo
church elected him for their pastor for
next year for half his time. If he ac-
cepts both these calls his time is filled
up. 1t was unanimous call IN both ca
ses. The sermon Sunday night was re-
markably fine one on rejoicing under
all circumstances, the text being taken
from Paul's letter to the church at Phil
lipp, while he was a prisoner in Rome.
See Ist, grid and 4th chapters of Phil
lippians.
AT he close of the sermon the well
trained quartette, composed of Miss Kate
Therrell, soprano; Mrs. E. K. White,
alto; Mr.. Walter Dear, tenor and MIR.
Claud Holoomb, bass, delighted the fine
audience by singing "He Knows It ALL"
The entire audience were charmed. The
~ /. ~ :.
rendering of the song in sweet voices
was tender and touching every, Christian
heart and lover of vocal music. Three
members of this quartette will in few
weeks take their departure for their re-
spective colleges: Miss Kate to the /.
|. and c., and Messrs. Holcomb and Dear
to the University of Mississippi. We
shall certainly miss their delightful voices
from the churches here, but we are glad
that they are going off to fit themselves
for their life work. We hope others will
be induced to take their places in song
services. and if the matter be left to our
excellent music teacher. Mrs. Eckhardt,
we shall have another quartetts.
Mrs. Bullock, of Scott county, was a
welcome visitor to Mrs. Jesse Smiths
family the past several days.
A Mr.. Jones and his wife were board

MIR. Jones is the carpenter. On Friday
night Mrs. Jones left her room and was
returning when Mr.. Jones mistcak her
for burglar and shot at her five times,
one of the bullets entered her abdomen
and it is thought the wound is fatal.
Drs. Gibson and Chandler were called
to the case Mr.. and Mrs. Jones had
been married but a few months This

An effort was made last week to get
the Dry Greek school district declared a
separate district. but notwithstanding the
fact that a good majority of the voters
petitiOned the school board to do so, the
board thought best to postpond action in
the matter. This means that separate
district cannot be declared before another
year. 1t will doubtless go through next
time as members have said that they
will try it again.
