Dainty Desserts

For a novel and pretty dessert
which is especially good, split length
wise some large, firm pears, cook un-
til tender in a syrup made of sugar
and water and favored with vanilla or
almond. Fill the hollows of the fruit,
which is arranged upright in the dish,
with powdered macaroon. Fold the
two halves of each pear together, add
a little whipped cream to the syrup,
which must have been thoroughly
chilled and pour over the fruit. Serve
with cake.
Apple Trife.

tivating, boil one pound of apples

tard made of two egg yolks half pint
of milk and two ounces or sugar. Whip

and yet satisfactory sweet course. Fol
this beat well the whites of three
eggs and stir them into a quart Of
cream. Mix well and add two glasses
of sherry, two ounces of sugar, peel o.
a lemon. Whip all into a froth. Now
/ take out the peel and serve in a glass

Literary entertainment.

The Burns-Poe-Riley entertain
ment at the P. G. High School
Friday afternoon was good indeed,
though the bad weather prevented
many from giving the young peo-
pie an inspiring afternoon. Lillian
Rogers presided at the organ while
the lively songs of the Scotchman
and the Hoosier-"Auld Lang
Sine" by the former, and "The
Frost is on the Pumpkin" by the
latter, who is among the few who
lived to enjoy fame, and other Sc
lections were sung with a zest that
is seldom heard at school enter
tainments. "The Raven" and 9TH
er writings from the pen of the err
ratio, passionate Poe, whose life
was, in many respects like that oi
Irwin Russell, were read with zeal.
And there were sketches of the
lives of each of these poets written
and read by the school children.
Those taking part in the readings
were Lillian Rogers. David Trax'
Ter, Ferdie Krauss, A. K. Shaiferl
L. May French, Nell Morehead,
]. Howard. Adair Skipwith, Kath'
erine Watkins.
Such entertainments are instruct
i've and elevating. This school i
certainly well managed and i
doing good work.

Thousands of families will move
to Mississippi within the next six
months on the strength of what
they have seen and heard at the
Mississippi exhibit.
sMore than 100000 pecans have
been given away free.
More than 700, 900 persons have
seen the Mississippi exhibit thus
far.
Every one connected with the
Mississippi display is pleased be-
yond measure at the interest that
Mississippi has aroused among
the thousands of home seekers
who attend the land show in order
to learn of some spot where crops
are always good, climate fine and
where good men and women make
their home.
Although the Wisconsin exhibit
is FIVE times as big as the Missis-
sippi exhibit and is just across the
aisle from the Southern States, it
does not attract hall SO many visit
ors as the latter.
All in all the Mississippi display
at the land show is doing the great
est good for the State at large

A German farmer said he pre-
ferred 10 rent high-priced land in
a northern state rather than buy
cheap land in Mississippi for the
reason that stock is allowed to run
at large in the winter. He said he
plant winter crops, and if be
lived IN Mississippi he would have
to fence his entire place with wov-
en- wire in order to protect the
crops. Whether we wish it or not
we are going to be forced to grow
winter crops and keep our stock
up. It is only a matter of time.

The establishment of two syrup
rehneries in the county will neces
state the putting in of neighbor
hood mills. Don't make the mis-
take of buying an old horse power
mill; it will never pay. Use an
engine of sufficient size to develop
at least twice the power you expect
to use. Neighborhood co-opera
ton would be an excellent means
of getting these mills.

Thousands of hogs will be
shipped out of the county before
the winter is over. But few have

must get growth sufficient to justi-
fly packers in paying living prices.
