Always use lard to grease your cake pans, as the salt in the butter causes it to stick to the pans. Don't light the kitchen fire unless there is water in the boiler. If not, the rush of cold water is liable to crack the boiler. If you want to keep sour desserts on top of the ice, place a newspaper over the ice and your dishes never slip off or tip over. Select a dozen or so of the smoothest and largest splints from the new broom and lay them away to use in testing cake when it is baking.

One of the most interesting games of marbles that has been played in our town for many years took place one day last week. The players were Robt. O. Keltner, seventy years old, Geo. W. Flowers, seventy-four years old, Dr. J.H. Grady, sixty-five years old and A.T. Shirrell, not less than sixty years old. We take it from the way they played, that in by-gone days they certainly played on Sunday.
