The domestic art department
has finished the study of the
oyster, as to his life and habits
and to his food value. We only
hope they found that popular
bivalve as good as he tastes.
They are taking up the study
of meat. The different cuts and
the food value of the different
cuts. They intend to visit a
meat market and watch a COW
sliced up. They will be able to
tell whether they get the Tender
loin steak they order or the round
steak which is frequently sent by
mistake.

Prof. Mathews has succeeded
in obtaining a piano from Mr..
Jesse E. Mercer, a former resi-
dent of our city. We are certain
ly glad to get it. The Piano has
been rented for the next five
months and if after that time the

will open up their hearts and
their pocket books the piano will
be purchased outright, the rent
money applying on the purchase,
we have simply got to have the

NOTHING HEARD OF
 DELANEY HEIRS Improbable That S1O,0O0 Left by George Delaney
 Will Be Claimed

Although the city commission has re- cetved information which might in the end uncover details regarding the life and death of George Delaney, nothing has up to the present time been unearthed to in- dicate that claimant of the S10,e00, left by the deces sed, will be located
 As Is remembered, New York lawyer, John Dwyer, wrote George B. Ward, pres- ident of the commission, last week that unless an heir Of the dead man was found in the near future, a tidy fortune of S10,- 600 would in all probability be lost. The Age-Herald published the statement of MT. Dwyer, and several people have at- tempted to solve the riddle.
 Yesterday Mir Ward received a letter from William R. Mosmer, cashier of the Bank of Faunsdale, in which it was said that MT. Delaney died two years ago in Greensboro and that Thomas Jones, R well known resident Of that city, was named the executor Of his estate. Mir. Mosmer was of the impression that the deceased left some property in Alabama as well as elsewhere.
 It is regarded as highly probable that the heir of the fortune will not be To- cated Mir. Dwyer in his letter stated that it was his information that the deceased left Birmignham some years ago. and died in Memphis. While there are many who answer to the name Of Delaney in Bir- ningham, none. as far as known, have professed kinship to the deceased.

WHAT OF THANKSGIVING
 AT THE MERCY HOME?

The following is submitted by the i board of directors of the Mercy Home:
 Last year at the Thanksgiving sea son the question of the Mercy Home te the public was: Shall the children have turkey for Thanksgiving? The response was generous. and there was @ turkey dinner for all.
 To-day the Mercy Home asks for the neeessties-for staple groceries and money-turkey dinner if it please you, but actual. everyday needs must be first.
 In February the city's approprla- tion to the home was reduced one half, and on August 1 the balance was cut off. Since that time the city has contributed nothing for the care of it's homeless and dependent children in the Mercy Home.
 The applications for help have not decreased; the number needing assist ance is as many as ever before The average family is between 90 and 100 to be clothed, fed and cared for.
 The children represent various con ditions, but are all alike in being needy. Some are orphans some have disabled mothers or fathers; some have absolute mothers and fathers; some are victims of accident: some of dis ease, One little Jewish boy, the grand child of 8 Russian rabbi, whose mother was burned to death, has been in the home for two years. Three Greek chil- dren under Ii, two Italians under 5, are members of this household that is absolutely nonsectarian in all it's min istrations.
