Fortv Little Cooks and Four Hun dred Biscuits at the Holt Hard ware aud Bug^y Lo's Store. The much talked of biscuit making contest came off at tta store of the llolt Hardware and Huge v Company Tuesday after noon and was participated in by nearly forty little girls, tinder Id years of a..e, from Smithtield and surrounding couimuniry. The prize was an a tractive one, beinga buck's -I unior Hange, and each little girl entered the contest hoping that she might be come its possessor. The contest w as conducted by Mr () I'. Perkins, of St. Louis. Mo., the clever representative of the buck's Stove and Hange Co. ; Each little girl was given a pint ] of Hour. From this she was al lowed to make as many biscuits j as she wished und have them baked by a skilled cook on a large I buck's stove. It was interesting to watch these little girls, eager ? and self-possessed as they mixed the ingredients and kneaded the dough. w nen tne last natch ol biscuits had been baked the little cooks weie sent outside and the door closed, in older that the judges, Mrs. L. R VVaddell, Mrs. Anna M. Pou,?.Mrs. IraT. Turlington, Mrs. John A. Narron and Mrs. 11. Ij. Skinner, might examine the biscuits and decide who was the winner During this timethe little folks gathered in tbemiddle of the street and pla.ved children's games, almost completely block ing the t horoughfare. Each little girl held a number corresponding with the number of her plate of biscuits. The con test was absolutely fair as the judges had no idea who baked the plate of biscuits accorded the prize until it was announced to them. The uumberof the winner was nine an i was held by little Miss Mildred Sanders, of Smith field. When the name of the winner was announced the other con testants applauded and gather ing around her warmly congratu lated her on her success. During the afternoon refresh ments were served by Mrs. T. It. Crocker and Mrs. H D.Ellington. Many of the townspeople were present making it altogether an enjoyable occasion. We estimate that more than 400 biscuits were baked during the contest. We understand that another contest is to be given soon, though of a different nature. It will be announced soon in the columns of The Herald. Mrs. G. W. F. Barber Dead. Yesterday morning Mrs Mary Ann Barber, wife of Mr. George W. F. Barber, died at their home in Brooklyn, after several weeks' illness of typhoid fever. She was thought to be improving until Tuesday night when she began to grow worse, dying yesterday morning about nine o'clock. Mrs Barber was a daughter of the late Cornelius Stevenson and a sister of Register of Deeds, J. W. Stephenson. She was about 38 years of age and leaves a hus band, sevm children, one brother and two sisters. She was a member of the Smith field Primitive Baptist church and was a good Christian woman, loved by her friends and neigh bors. Her remains will be laid to rest in the cemetery here today by the] side of her son, who died only a few weeks ago. May God sustain and comfort the bereaved family. Fink Millinery at Spiers Bros.
