MADE TIME or GAY REUNION


"Beating the bounds'' was o spe-
eially important duty In the colonies.
where land surveys were imperfect.
land grants irregular. and the bound
aries Of each mans farm or plantn-
ton at first very uncertain. In vir-
ginla this beating the bounds was
called 'processioning." Landmarks
were renewed that were becoming OBJ
liberated: blnzes on n tree would bo
somewhat grown over : they were
deeply recut; piles Of great stones
containing a certain number for des-
ignntion were sometimes scattered
the original number would be re-
.stored. Special trees would. be found
fallen or cut down; new marking
trees would be planted. usually pear
trees. MS they were long-lived. Dis
puted boundaries were decided upon
and announced TO all the persons pres
ent, some OF whom NJ the next PRO
cessIonlng" would even be nble to
testify as to the correct line. This
provisioning took place between
Easter and whitsantldc. that lovely
season Of the year In Virginia; and
must have proved n pleasant reunion
Of neighbors. n May-party. In New
England this was called ''pernmbu-
lnting the bounds" AMI tho surveyors
who took charge were called ''pcram-
bulators" or ''boundsxoers.

any other part OF himself. and every
VIE takes pride In conducting her.

Biblical Thrift

The Scriptures give us many lessons
In thrift. Ezekiel warned the children
Of Israel that during the siege of Jeru-
salem they would have to be thrifty.
He said: stake thou also unto thee
wheat, and barley. and beans. and
lentiles, and millet. and fitches, and
put them In one vessel, and make thee
bread thereof."-Ezekiel iv: Q. The
Bible shows that Ezekiel ordered the
children of Israel to eat their meat
by weight, and even thus only "from
time to time."-Thrift Magazine.

 Butter Regulations

Sugar, under new regulations just issued by the food administration, will now cost from 1oAc to 10Mc a pound. an increase of about 1 cent 2 pound over prices that have prevailed for sew
 eral months. Speaking of the new price County Food Administrator Paul H.
 Earle yesterday said:
 "A careful survey of jobbers stocks in Birmingham disclosed the fact that
 practically all the sugar now in the
 hands of wholesale dealers has been |received since September o. on which
 date the national food administration

 the refineries. The new retail price for a pound"
 Referring to changes in butter regu- lations MT. Earle said
 Enquiries are reaching this office as to the amount of butter which a con sumer may purchase at one time under recent rulings. The impression is that this cannot be less than one pound This is not correct, as clearly shown in Rule l5, which reads as follows; z" Rule 5, Manufacturer and Sale of Prints of Butter Weighing Less Than | One Pound Prohibited.--On and after September 15, 1918, no licensee shall manufacture or sell units of butter in | print form that shall weigh less than | one pound provided that this rule shall not prevent. a retailer from cut ting a unit weighing one pound or more
