MAKING MUTTON-TOMATO PIE
Meat Is Given by Department
of Agriculture.

An excellent way to use cold NUT
ton is to bake it with tomatoes, using
alternate layers of tomato and meat.
A tomato sauce may be used or he
following method may be employed:
Place in the baking dish a layer of
fresh tomatoes or of cooked tomatoes
which have been either drained or re-
duced in volume by boiling. In the
dish place a layer of meat dredged
with flour, salt and pepper and add
small bits of butter. Continue the
layers until the casserole is full, ar
ranging to have a layer of buttered
bread crumbs or cracker crumbs as
a cover Bake until the crumbs are
brown. In following this method use
tomato, butter, and flour in the correct
portions for tomato sauce-two level
tablespoonfuls each of butter and -four
for each cupful of tomatoes.

DEATH OF MRS. j. 3. BLACK.
Beloved Christian Woman Expired
Here Sunday Afternoon.

Mrs. Sarah Harriet Black died at
her .hOme in Bamberg late Sunday
afternoon, following an illness Of only
five days. Few persons knew of her
serious illness until the end was near.
She was surrounded by loving rela-
tives and friends when the angel of
death visited the home and relieved
her of her suffering.
The funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at three o'clock,
and interment took place at South
end cemetery. The services were con-
Quoted by her pastor, the Rev. George
P. White, assisted by the Rev. S. O..
Cantey. The grave was completely
covered with numerous beautiful
floral tributes from friends and rela-
tives.
Mrs. Black was the daughter of the
late Frederick Charles and Mary
Aver. She was born in the Ehrhardt
section, then in Barnwell county, 64
years ago, and has always resided in
this county. Forty-seven years ago

Grated Christian woman. She was
held in the fondest affection and love

eived with great sorrow. In her nome
life Mrs. Black might truly be des-
cribed as a model wife and mother.

those about her, and her entire life
was one of uselfish service to Others.
Her service extended not only to
those Immediately about her but to
all
