Yazoo City herald. [volume] (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1878-1976, 1914-10-02

'Vus tidC nothing be left out to make
the day one of pleasure and profit
Last, but no means least, do we hand
Mr.. Dave Wolerstein a handsome
boquet of the best things of earth Of
love and appreciation for his Unusual
kindness and consideration to each
and every one who took part in the
making of Saturday a red letter day
for Yazoo.
Those who so valiantly stood by
their teacher and co-laborer were Prof.
E. NJ. White, Miss Grace May, Miss
Virgie Johnson, Miss Jennie Lou Lof-
tbs, Misses Pearl Elliott, Mary King,
Cora Johnson, Sallie Dixon, Margaret
Fouche, Ellen Cakes, Alice Redmond,
Gussie Ewig, Mammie Exum, Edith
Shackelford, Nell Cox, with several
girls from the Yazoo City High
School: Misses Mamie Johnston, Lulu
Henry, Catherine Davis, Ann Rec
johnson, Nye Crook, Ruby Bridges
and Mesdames w. E. Noblin, Maj.
Mcclure, r. H. Douthat and N. A.
Mott, were present to assist when ever
required.
Mr.. W. R. Ritch in his effort to get
the attention of the people with his
"Grown-i in Mississippi" dinner, had
Mrs. J. ]. McGraw send up some of
the butter which she had put up in
cans two years ago and this was AZ
orally spread upon the rolls which
were made from the flour that was
made from wheat grown on Mr.. Ritch's
place near West Point. The butter
was exceedingly nice and could not
have been told from fresh butter had
not Mr.. Ritch triumphantly announc-
ed the fact. Mrs. McGraw is to be
congratulated for her initiative in
this particular line, as there is always
more butter and milk in the spring
when the grass is young and tender
than in the summer and fall when the
pastures are eaten down.
Mr.. and Mrs. McGraw are among
the many of our Yazoo farmers who
have learned to raise what they need
for home consumption and have the
cotton for a surplus.
Display of Canned Goods in Wier's
Drug Store.
Mrs. Mark Cchaefer is another one
of our Yazoo women that has fallen
In line with the progress exhibited by
her farmer husband. Mrs. Schaefer
was reared in a city and when bride
took up her home in the country,
she had never spent day in the coun-
try before. Mr.. Schaefer was so
much in love with farming that his
wife soon caught his enthusiasm, and
it was not long until she was keeping
pace with him in his progress. AS
he exchanged old methods for new
on the farm, she was learning and
making new things for the home, and
at the same time keeping her eyes
open to his interest so that when he
was called away she could look after
his planting interests and the dairy,
which is the largest in the county,
and one of the most up-to-date in the
State. Mrs. Schaefer says that she
can't run the business as good as her
husband, but she is glad that he has
confidence enough in her ability to do
it so that he can get away from home
The display of canned goods which
were in Mr.. Wier's drug store window
were gotten from her storeroom Fri
day before it was put on exhibition
Saturday.
Barbecued Meat.
This part of the dinner was in the
hands of one who understands the
business thoroughly, Mr.. Joe Caring,
who is one of the few remaining boys
who wore the grey And when he con-
sented to take this part, there was no
more uneasiness felt by the committee
for they knew that it would be cooked
and turned till every part was brown
and the seasoning was well distributed
into the meat so that the best flavor
could be obtained.
