A SOUTHERN RECIPE FOR
CURING MEAT.

For $50 pounds of meat, beef or
hams and shoulders, use 16 pounds
of salt, eight gallons of water,
four ounces saltpeter, two quarts
molasses, one tablespoonful of
soda mix and dissolve. For beef,
first cut in suitable pieces, pack in
a clean barrel as closely as can be
pressed in by hand: put in in even
layers. When all the meat is
packed, place a stone or other
weight on top to keep the meat
under the brine. Pack hams the
same way, and after 80 days re-
move from the brine and smoke.

''DOWN IN DIXIE

This popular Comedy. Drama
was presented by local talent at
the High School Hall last Friday
evening to an exceptionally large
and appreciative audience. The
scenes were laid just prior to and
during the Civil War, and the
characters were costumed as of
that period.
Each part was well rendered,
and the popular verdict was that
the play was one of the best of
the kind ever witnessed by a To-
cal audience.
For it's splendid success all of
the participants are entitled to
praise, but the lions share of the
credit is due Miss Musick. the
talented director. for her earnest
and persevering efforts and with
al, her patience and forbearance,
without which no such measure
of success would have been at
tanned.
Instrumental music by Misses
Wallace and Fleming and a vocal
selection by Miss Gregory, of
Siliman, were pleasing interludes
