HAS AN HISTORIC
CIVIL war DOCUMENT
ORIGINAL ORDER ANNOUNCING
LEES SURRENDER IN POSSES
SION OF MRS. BURTON.

The original parchment, contain
ing general order number 8 of Cen
eral Robert E. Lee, in which his fare
well address was made to his soldiers,
is in the possession of Mrs. J. N. Bur-
ton, of Dawson.
This highly priced relic was given
Mrs. Burton by her father, Mr.. J..
M. Stanley, who brought the docu-
ment home from the war in 1866.
Mr.. Stanley, who was a sergeant,
was with General Lees army when
the surrender was made at Appomat-
tox court house.

on the other hand the rule of the
paragraph is strictly adhered to- Be-
low is the text of the order.
General Order No. 9.-Hd. Qrs.
Army of Va, April 10, 1865.-After
four years of arduous service, marked
by unsurpassed courage and for
titude, the army of Northern Va. has
been compelled to yield to over
whelming numbers and resources.
II need not tell the brave survivors
of so many hard-fought battles, who
have remained steadfast to the last,
that have consented to this result
from no distrust of them. But feel
ing that valor and devotion could
accomplish nothing that would com
pensate for the loss that would have
attended the continuance of the con-
test l determined to avoid the use
less sacrifice of those whose past
services have endeared them to their
countrymen.
"By the terms of the agreement,
officers and men can return to their
homes, and remain until exchanged.
"You will take with you the salts
faction that proceeds from the con-
seriousness of duty we'll performed,
and earnestly pray that a merciful
God will extend to you His blessing
and protection.
with an increasing admiration of
your constancy and devotion to your
county and a grateful remembrance
of your kind and generous considera-
ton for myself, | bid you an affec-
tionate farewell.
"R. E. LEE, General"

SAFE AND ECONOMICAL
METHOD OF CURING MEAT
Federal Department of Agriculture
Investigates and Gives Recipe


Investigates and Gives Recipe.
The United States department Of
agriculture, after a good deal of in
vestigation by its experts, has given
the following recipe for the safest
and most economical method of cur
ing hog meat, the method being
known as the process for sugar
curing"
when the meat is cooled, rub
each piece with salt and allow it TO
drain over night. Then pack it in
a barrel with the hams and shout
ders in the bottom, using the strips
of bacon to fill in between or put
on top. To each 100 pounds of meat
put 8 pounds of salt, two pounds of
brown sugar, and two ounces of salt
peter. Dissolve all in four gallons of
water and cover the meat with the
brine. For summer use boil the brine
before using. In that case it should
be cooled thoroughly before it is
used. For winter curing it is not
necessary to boil the brine. Bacon
strips should remain in this brine
four to six weeks. This is standard
recipe and has given the best of sat
isfaction. Hams and bacon cured in
the spring will keep right through
the summer after they are smoked.
The meat will be sweet and palatable
if smoked properly, and the flavor
will be good"
The governments recipe is one
that has been thoroughly tried out,
and farmers who have had little ex-
perience in curing hog meat will 60
