 The alleged murder was said to have occurred on the Bryant farm near Greenboro, Fla, when the victim, a sharecropper on the Bryant farm who owned his own farm implements and was free of debt, went to the syrup mill to remove the part which was rightfully his.

The other morning my small son, Jim - a delighted grin on his face - handed me the paper: It was opened to an article stating that March is to be "National Bread and Gravy Month. We'll, knowing Jim's fondness for this dish, and his reason for showing me the ar ticle, I promised to serve it that night - and often during Spring. ,Good, old fashioned bread and gravy has always been a favorite meal at our house the entire family relishes the good fresh bread topped with rich brown gravy. And besides being a nu- tritious dish, it's economical - an excellent way to use leftover slices of bread. l always wrap my bread carefully in waxed paper = so it's perfectly fresh and appetizing when needed.
 Many of my friends have asked me for my gravy recipe and I thought you might like it. George Rector -- famous food consultant - gave it to me, and it's his own special recipe:
 RICH BROWN GRAVY
 tbep. fat or drip. cup liauid (water.
 pings milk. or vegetable : tbsp. enriched water)
 flour ! tsp. Meat Paste
 Mel. fat. add -four and blend well. Add liquid and stir until smooth. When hot. ;,dd meat paste which has been dissolved in n small amount of the hot mixture. Cook until thickened sufficiently. Serves ; or I.
 Next time you're wondering what to serve for lunch, dinner - or even for guests - try this recipe. I'm sure your family, like mine, will come back for second helpings every time!
