FOR SMOKING MEATS.
Strauss Have a Wonderful Prepar.
alton.

A. A. Strauss and Company are
now demonstrating a wonderful nq-
uid smoke. This should be used by
all far-seeing farmers and just at this
hog killing time. Just think of a
purely vegetable matter free from
any deleterious matter smoking meat,
quart covering three hundred
pounds of cured meat.
1t will not make bad meat good
but is guaranteed to keep sound
meat It is called by the manufac-
turers Figaro Preservar.
They have gotten out a very inter-
esting booklet about this wonderful
product and have supplied Strauss
with several copies. 1t is entitled
"Figaro's Message to The Man on
The Farm" and is sold at 15c per
copy but Strauss are giving them
away to responsible farmers who are
interested in curing their meat in an
economical manner.
We call your attention to their ad.
vertisement in this issue. It is brim
full of interesting news.

He said that he was going from sum-
ter to see Mr.. McMaster bout the
matter. He would then go on to
Milledgeville, Ga, to attend to busi-
ness at that place and then on to
meeting of stockholders of the COM
pany at Arizona. Afterwards he would
return and work this State. which he
had only just touched up to this time.
He further asked the reporter not to
say anything bad about him. as he
had violated no laws and had even
been to the county clerk and the city
clerk to pay any license which cover
ed the sale OF his mining stock. AT
both places, however, he was inform
ed that there was no license covering
the sale Of mining stock.
1t seems that James misplaced his
trust am Sumter and il was in this
way that he got in the tolls Of the
law. He left one a oe his books of
stock with Rees James. the we'll
known blind tiger, for that person TO
act as his agent in town. while he
worked the country. the negro to get
commission for his sales of stock.
Rees' however, according to James.
did not sell any stock. but il was
from his house that the stock book
was secured This book was held
after James was released as Judge
Wells thought IT might be used as
good evidence against James should
he try to sell any more of his sup
posed worthless mining stock in this
county.

confront the lady voters, newly endowed with the
toga virs, so to speak. To be caught between
Beelzebub and the boundless deep was as nothing
to being hemmed in between the Rum Demon and
the sunken garden. On the one hand the call Of
estheticsm the purr Of the pussywillows the bride
like beauty Of the orange blossoms. On the other
hand the abiding presence Of the rum-sucker, the
blighting grist OF the gin mill II was fearful
ordeal for a delicately nurtured electorate.
Perhaps slander has been at work with the fair
fame OF the lady voters Unless their ballot were
distinguishable by some feminine touch, such as a
whiff Of frangapan for example, it is hard to see
why they should be charged with having welded
the balance Of power Such, at least is the charge,
and, at all events, the sunken garden will remain,
and will the beer garden Ill-natured people will
seek to draw political lessons from this feminine
weakness at the polls but the larger charity of the
world will see in it but the womans kindred affection
for her sisters, the lily and the rose.

NEW YORK'S PROVINCIALISM.

1t has frequently been pointed out that the most
provincial settlement in this country is the city of
New York. Let man stop and look up at the sky
and a crowd will gather big enough to block traffic.
The confidence man finds it his most fertile field.
Here in Washington it is most commonplace
occurrence to the President of the United States
Istrollng up Connecticut avenue, threading his way
among the shoppers in the business district max
ing friends with the children at play in Lafayette
Park. Occasionally somebody who hasn't lived here
very long will turn round to glance at him second
time. On the other hand, look at the so-called me.
tropolis. Mr.. Taft couldn't take little walk up
Fifth avenue without attracting a crowd of thous-
and people. He had to take refuge in private resi-,
dence. No wonder the zoo is one Of New York's
most popular institutions.
