A CHRISTIAN GOVERNOR.
,om the Madison Madisonian

From the Madison Madisonian.
Editor MadisOnian: 1t is a great
thing that this state has a wise, pa
triotic governor. 1t is a far greater
thing that, superadded to this, she
has a God-reverencing,, christian
governor. And such a governor is
Joseph NJ. Brown. And such a gov
ernOr was his father, Joseph E.
Brown. This statement is suggested
from the following extract from Gov
ernor Browns home paper, the Ma
rietta Journal. H. w. BALDWIN.
Last Sunday was bright, sunny
day, and the First Baptist church
was filled with an appreciative audi
ence. DR.. T. P. Hale of Louisville,
KY, agent of the Southern Baptist
Seminary, preached from the sub
ject, Let your light so shine before
men that they may see your good
work and glorify your Father in
Heaven The sermon was fine and
most impressively delivered. In the
course of it DR.. Hale related the
fact of the very serious financial
straits to which the seminary had
been reduced when he was a student
there. The school was really on the
eve of closing its doors when big
hearted Georgian sent relief that
kept it alive. That man was Gov
ernor Joseph E Brown, and the
check he sent was for $4,000. AS
DR.. Hale mentioned the far-reaching
effect of that benefcent deed Gov
ernOr and Mrs Joseph NJ. Brown
were sitting near the center of the
church, and were thrilled by the
tribute paid to their honored father.
DR.. Hale did not take UP a collec-
ton for the seminary, but among
the donations sent him before he
left was a check for $1,000 from
Governor Brown

MILLING AND HOPING.

behalf of the salvation of the coun-
try and hurrahed whenever the name
of Mr.. Bryan was mentioned, con-
tinues it's agitation in behalf of the
Peerless One for president he will
have to be asked, as Colonel Roose-
welt is now being asked by republi-
cans, whether he is willing to say
that under no circumstances will
he accept the nomination. of his par
ty for president" Mr.. Bryan has
said, just as Colonel Roosevelt has,
that he was not candidate and that
he would not seek the nomination,
but in many parts of the country his
admirers are trying to make him a
candidate
In the minds of those who hare
kept their eyes on the political ma

is no doubt that both of these Big
Noises, whose stock of political cure

COUNTRY HAM,

Who is it that does not love good
country ham and speckled gravy?
There are thousands of people in the
cities who will never forget the fla
vor of or cease to long for the old
time country ham In this connec-
ton the following recipe, given by
w. f. Massey in the Progressive
Farmer, for curing and preserving
this delicious product of Southern
farms is of timely interest. 1t may
be added by way of suggestion that
every Georgia farmer should devote
more attention to raising hogs:
My method of curing hams is as
follows: Trim them neatly and
make a brine strong enough to
float a fresh egg. Put them in this
and let them remain four or five
days to draw out the blood. Then
take them out and boil and skim
the brine and when cold return
them to the brine, adding enough
fresh brine to cover them, and
then add for each 100 pounds of
ham a pint of black moIasses and
an ounce of salt petre and let the
hams remain in the brine two or
three weeks. Then take them out
and smoke we'll with hickory wood
or corn cobs and smother the fire
with green cedar brush. When well
smoked take them down and paint
them all over with thick mixture
of black molasses and black pepper,
and put each in a cotton sack and
dip it in lime wash and hang it in
dark smoke house. The hams
will improve until a year old.
treat shoulders in the same way,
and sides, too, except that the sides
remain in brine half the time the
hams do. Jowls treated in this
way are fine for boiling with tur-
nip greens in the spring"
