life was corn meal in it's varying
forms of johnny-bread, mush, and
puddings. The corn was changed
into coarse meal by the use of the
gritter, a machine of iii or iron
with sharp notched sl-'ace on
which the corn was rub5 i by the
hand. Later, when whe2t came in
both it and the corn war ground
by primitive mills, and II lie into
different grades of finen SO by a
, clumsy bolter. For meat supply
there was wild game, ontieting of
partridges, tree squirrels, Wild tur-
keys, deer, and buffalo to sly no.
thing of plenty of fish. Il those
days every household had it's
own butcher shop. Then, too, for
sweets there were wild honey and
and delicious maple sugar and
syrup; while the gardens furnished
supply of toothsome vegetables,
| and the woods abounded inberries.
From all of the firegoing it may be
inferred that in those days neigh
bors were neighbors. Indeed soci-
ability was a matter of necessity.
What of schooling in those days?
There were no schools in the mod
ern sense. The first schools were
held in abandoned log cabins, and
there were no primary text books.
Often pupil got his first innings
in reading from some history his
father may have had before him
and not infrequent the new testa-
ment was used. The school ses-
sions were mostly confined to the
winter period. Kept up by private
subscription and the sessions last
ed until the money ran out. For a
long time the Chinese method of
study prevailed, i. e, every child
studying aloud while others were
reciting; and it was not without
overcoming much hostile argument
that Yankee school-master pre-
vailed upon our neighborhood to
take up the silent system of study
which proved to be so satisfactory
that it was ever after maintained.
These were truly primitive educa-
tional methods, yet that was the
State which gave the nation

Oren Elliott, the deaf-mute edi-

received great deal of publicity
of late because of his ability as an
editor under the disadvantages he
has, but we believe for real pluck
Mrs. Thos. Horne, editor of the
Blackwater News, deserves the
blue ribbon. With the assistance
of Miss Stella Pannerl, former
Marshall young lady, she edits and
prints the News in very able
manner. That means that they
must run the heavy hand press get
out the job work, edit the paper,
collect news, subscriptions and
make other collections, keep books
sweep and do thousand other
things. And the News is one of
the best local papers in this sec

New Use for Corn Cobs

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Kruger were
here from Little Rock last Friday.
Mr.. Kruger told us the prize snake
story while here. He said a gentle
man from Jefferson City asked him
to put up his horse the other
day for dinner and in doing so led
the horse to a manger in which
there was setting hen with nine
teen eggs. In looking in he saw
big blacksnake in the manger.
He got stick and in going after
the snake it crawled under the hen
she protested by pecking at it.
When killed the snake had big
hump in the middle and thinking
he might save some of the nine
teen eggs which We're nearly all
missing Mr.. Kruger cut the snake
in two with an az, but imagine his
surprise when the lump turned out
to be big corn cob seven inches
long! We've heard of door knobs
and other things like it being
swallowed by a snake, but this
beats it. Farmers may now use
their corn cobs to good advantage
1t may be necessary to cap them
with an egg shell or smear with
broken egg, but we are sure of one
thing-a snake which swallows
corn cob will have a good case of
constipation!

gerly awaiting the returns from ver-

Party. While there is no fear that
the state is lost to the party. it is rec
organized that there is such apathy this
year that in almost any section of the
state n man might proclaim himself

lynched. Political doctors say the
symptoms prevalent in Vermont today
indicate a considerable loss of repub-

Of the party in the nation at large
and, owing to Vermont's elections
coming in September, the vote of that
state has assumed a great Importance.
In New Hampshire, too, where pri-
maries are held today, there is much
republican discomfort, with regular
and insurgent rivals for the guberna-
torial nomination.
