Hr. Charlee Craven, of North

ness last Friday. On his way he
dropped in to see his tmekar in
early boyhood. Miss Mattie E.
Sale. She was indeed, g^ad to
have him call.
Mrs. Alvin Dockery, of Rusk,
home-maker for rural rehabilita
tion for ERA/ gives the following
which should be of particular in
terest to housekeepers in the
tobacco belt: “In preparing beans,
tomatoes, apples or peaches for
canning prepare them in the usu
al way for cold pack, fill jars,
tighten lids and place in your to
bacco bafn when temperature
reaches 140 degrees. Leave them
not less than nine hours. If the
lids get loose, tighten them again
before they cool. Food canned
in this manner is much less
trouble and the food more delici
ous.
The entire community was sad
dened by the expected death of
“Aunt” Charity Hickerson last
niursday night or Fridny m.om-
ing. She was possibly the oldest
person in the entire surrounding
country, being- in her 96th year.
Her friends were numbered by
those who knew her. She was
devoted to her church and Sun
day school. She built Sunday
school rooms at Ronda Baptist
church after she became unable
to attend. Charity was one of
her outstanding characteristics.
She was always interested in fed-
ing the hungry and clothing the
needy in her immediate neighbor
hood. A good woman is gone.
Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Warren and
Grace Dean Bentley, of Ronda,
