ground that tlie pow«r' to regulate

What a Barrel ofWhiskey Dld
’ A singular scene has just been
witnessed in Elimohurcb, Newman
county, Georgia, in Which allftbst
the entire membership watt arraigned
for unchristian conduct. A* barrel
of whiskeyhad lately been smuggled
into that tempferanco doinmunjty,
and clxgrch membfefs. wurpEtssefl*;
worldlings in their demonstrations.
• A dance was organized, and thus the
sin Of the feet was added to that of
the appetite, supplemented later bv
'profanity which shocked the.ears of
the elder sisters. Seventeen were
brought up to the stool of repent
ance at once. With various degrees
of penitential epenohes they ack now-
ledg$d;thfe deceits of the flesh and
promised never to dance, never to
drink, never to sweat* ’any more,
when the congregation joined in a
hymn and dispersed. There were,
Hack sheep, however, who did not
appear to make oxcUse and they will

“The general opinion is,” replied
the merchant, “that after an -apple ;
freezes its value is gone; but the fact
is*that just the contrary ia the case.
Let a barrel of apples freeze in this .
fall, and' keep.them frozen, or,.rather,
do not .disturb them, and in the
spring they will be in the very con
dition they Were when taken from
the tree. Baldwins, arvLin /act all
favorite .eating apples, do not have
. their full flavor nor mellowness when
'first packed in the fall. They ripen
in the barrel ahd_,are_at3heir best in.
January. After that they begin to
decay, a,nd when. March comes they
are few and far between, those thaT
are felt being thp result .of especial
