HOW TO MIX A MINT JULEP

The proper way of mixing a mint
julep is being discussed in the New
York newspapers.
Discussing Judge Milligan's formu-
A. H. CARING, wine stewart of the
Knickerbocker Hotel, fairly frothed
at the mouth and said that it would
not do at all. He said:
'sWhy, this man speaks of using
water for a julep," groaned CARING.
Mr. Mulligan may be a good Judge
of law, but he's a mighty bad judge
of julep if that's the way he drinks
that ambrosial darught. He says fill
a glass half full of crushed ice, pour
in pure water, stir in two teaspoon
fuls of sugar, fill the glass with whis-
key and put the mint on the edge of
the glass.
Outrageous. If l handed that sort
of julep to my southern patrons I'd
be mobbed. There is only one way to
make a julep and that is:
"Cover the bottom of Tom Col
Inns glass (the largest on the BARI
with ice. Put in some mint, slipping
only the leaves, on the ice.
Put in more ice until the glass is
filed.
"Put in one teaspoonfM of fine SUI
gar and a jigger and a half of fine
Bourbon whiskey. Float slice of or
ange and one, of pineapple, then a
trace of Maraschino for flavor. Now
carefully slip into the glass the stems
of the mint with the leaves floating
on top. Place it before your custom
er and turn your back. 1t is a sacred
moment, and an outsider must not
profane the situation. Not until you
have heard a great sigh of content
must you slip the check"

LETTER FROM Mr.. MAGAW

Ocala, Fla, July IA, 1911.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
In defense of an article printed in
a Jacksonville paper, the writer begs
space in your paper to state the COM
panys side of the case, for there are
always two sides to any proposition.
This company has been doing bust
ness through the United States mails
for some time. Our business has
been enormous and has grown so rap
idly that it has been hard work to
keep pace with it.
Naturally, doing such a large bust
ness through the mails, we have our
methods and plan of conudcting our
business investigated by the United
States postal authorities. The fact
that we are still doing business
should be evidence that our business
has been conducted in a straightfor-
ward manner.
To those who live in this country
the best evidence of this company's
bethod of doing business is a trip to
the thriving towns of Burbank, Fort
Mccoy, Bay Lake, Orange Springs
and Kenwood. We have the first per-
son yet to deal with who can say
that we have not complied with our
contract, and who has much of a kick
coming against the company. While
we try hard to do so, we cannot
please every buyer, but the best evil
dence as to how good our proposition
is, is the fact that our records will
show that we please 80 per cent. of
the people.
The article which has appeared in
a Jacksonville paper concerning our
company was inspired by former
employee, who was discharged for
good cause. The swriter cannot I'M
derstand how newspaper would pub
lish such an article without having
first given some investigation to the
matter.
While the writer has no means of
knowing exactly at this writing the
standing of our company in a fnan-
cial way, | would like to say that ac-
cording to my last report, this COM
pany had over 100000 in the bank;
that it is arranging to pay every dol
lar. of outstanding obligations just as
soon as certain creditors can comply
with certain contracts. The fact that
this company is owning anything in
the state today is the fault of others
AS concern engaged in the land
business, the writer does not believe
there is any stronger, healthier, hap
pier or one which has better pros
poets for complete success, not only
for those with whom it is doing bust
ness, but for itself. than the New
South Farm and Home Company.
In conclusion would say that it is
not only unkind but unjust that dis
gruntled employees land we have al
ways endeavored to treat our employ
es right and unfriendly newspapers
should circulate such derogatory re-
ports against company which has
always done the fair and square thing
with everyone, and conducted its bus
mess in a business-like manner.
Yours very truly.

the very moment in which Harry
Schwartz scored first. blood on a foul
goal. until the last score was regis
tered by Canton on a throw from
field, the game was exciting at all
times and never lacked a minute of
interest.
Harry Schwartz's excellent play
ing, coupled with the nervousness of
the Riversides, won the game for our
forefathers. Schwartz's playing was
nothing short of marvellous. He
scored seventeen points all by bis
lonesome, In addition to breaking up
countless number OF Riverside for
nations. At the end of the first half
the score favored the Puritans, 8 to
z, and Schwartz had made the en-
tire zine points. "Bin1 Reynolds,
the Riversides center, figured on
holding Schwartz down but failed.
The Puritan center made baskets
from all parts Of the floor and was
exceedingly good on fouls. He threw
four straight at the beginning or the
game, and finished the contest with
the average OF nine thrown out OF
sixteen chances.

word. strengthened by Reynolds at
center, which proved to be one of the
weak spots last night, the "Rivies''
entered the senior city league this
year and have never been defeated.
Throughout the county they have
met with various receptions and
usually returned with the bacon. 1t
remained for a Perth Amboy team to
turn the trick. The Riyersides were
plainly nervous during the first half
and lost many opportunities to score
on easy trials from field.
An interesting comparison of the
unsuccessful trials for field goals by
players on both teams shows
Schwartz leads the list with fourteen
shots, which failed. Schantz. who
played guard in the first half for
the Riyersides, never made an at
tempt to enter the score column. The
number OF unsuccessful attempts
chalked against each man follows:
