Mrs. M. E. Avirett.
Mrs. M. E. Avirett, who died Thurs-

Baptist Services.
The Lord’s blessings were upon us
in the services of last Sunday in a
great way. The congregations were
fine and a good spiritual atmosphere
prevailed. There were four additions
at the evening service, one being for
baptism. The talk and song by the
Chinese girl was greatly enjoyed.
The services are to be as follows’

Choir practice is also to be observed
where, and that means that it is can-
ning time again. Cookers and seal-
ers are needed equipment but the fol-
lowing recipes are given for use with, power company officials, since kite-
or without cookers.
String Beans—String young, ten-
der beans and cut them into 2-inch
lengths. Blanch for 3 to 5 minutes
in a hot soda bath (1 teaspoon soda to
1 gal. water) then plunge into a cold
salt bath (1 T salt to 1 quart water)
for 20 to 30 seconds. Drain well and
pack quickly in cans. Use 1 teaspoon
salt to the quart. Cover with boiling
water and process 45 minutes at 10
pounds pressure. Without the cooker
they may be processed 1 hour in hot
water bath allowing not more than 12
hours between each period.
A pack for fairs may be made by

The Barlow family is an old one in
the United States, numbering at least
one officer in the American Revolution
in its ancestry, and with many inter-
esting family traditions.
On June 8, 1876 at Refugio, Mary
Elizabeth Barlow was married to Rob-
ert Alexander Avirett, of Blakely,
Georgia. In 1879, Mr. and Mrs. Avir-
ett made a trip through Central Texas,
and decided on Meridian as a perma-
nent home, on account of the striking
beauty of the surrounding country.
Soon they purchased what is known
as Avirett addition, and built their
home in which Mrs. Avirett lived un-
til her death, a period of almost fifty
years. Mr. Avirett died June 12, 1895.
Mrs. Avirett was the last of her
father’s family to be called, a sister
and a brother having preceded her in
death by only a few months.
Two children of Mr. and Mrs. Avir-
ett died in early childhood, and the
eldest child, Eulalie, who was Mrs.
Richard Conring, of El Paso, passed
away last September.
Mrs. Avirett is survived by three
children, Roy and Clyde Avirett, and
Mrs. Will Johnson; and eight grand-
children, Robert Roy Jr. and Elaine
Avirett, Bethea Avirett, Camille Con-
ring, Mrs. Tom Matson, W. A. John-
son Jr., Marjorie and Lauralie John-
son.
As one of her friends expressed it,
posite direction and continue until the
jar is filled.
English or Black-eyed Peas—Wash
the young, tender peas, and blanch as
for beans—usually from 3 to 5 min-
utes=in the soda bath; if they do not
become tender in the blanching they
flying in towns where power lines of
necessity are numerous involves a
grave danger for carefree and
thoughtless youngsters.
Danger in this direction can be
averted only through careful training
of children by parents and school au-
thorities. Power Company officials do
not wish to discourage the practice of
kiteflying, but children should be
warned that they must not indulge in
this pastime near electric wires. If
by some chance a kite becomes tangled
in electric wires, no one should at-
tempt to disentangle it but an experi-
enced lineman, who is supplied with
proper protective equipment.
Warning should also be given
against flying kites with metallic
strings or with metal frames, which is
a very hazardous procedure.
Officials of the company earnestly
solicit the co-operation of parents and

and pleasing in her manner, and, in
every-day living, so observant of the
little courtesies and niceties of life.
I One of her outstanding character-
istics was her cheerfulness under all
circumstances asd her unwillingness to
burden other people with her troubles
or sorrows. One writer said:
“Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone,
Kindness is another’s trouble,
Courage is our own.”
In these two things, Mrs. Avirett
never failed.
Also, she kept a youthful heart'and
thought youthful thoughts so that her
presence and her conversation never
conveyed the thought of age in any
way. In these things she was an in-
spiration and a helpful example not
only to her family and close friends,
but to all those with whom she came
in contact.
She enjoyed to an unusal degree the
companionship of her friends, liked to
meet them at social affairs and have
them in her home, and was an unfail-
ing visitor wherever there was sick-
ness or trouble, bringing words of
cheer and encouragement.
She was a regular attendant at the
Methodist Sunday School and church,
and lived consistently by her personal
religious convictions.
Inspired by her courageous spirit to
the end, we are reminded of the words
of Rev. 2:10, “Be thou faithful unto
death, and I will give thee a crown of
life.” These words were suggested by
members of the family to Rev. R. W.
Nation, who conducted the funeral ser.
vices, as a fitting and appropriate text
to be used on the occasion, and none
could be found that were more appro-
priate.
She was laid to rest Friday morn-
ing, May 17, with a great crowd of
friends present “to weep with those
who weep.”

Sunday school 10 a. m. James M
Robertson, Supt.
Immediately following the Sunday
school we will have our Junior Church
day program. We have a good pro-
gram for the morning. The pastor
will preach. “The Little Girl Who
Helped,” will be the topic.
At the evening hour we expect to
have some of our young people to as-
sist in song and music.
Preaching at Midway at 3 p. m.
We will hold our meeting this year,
beginning on Sunday, July 21st, and
run until Sunday July 28th; possibly
a little longer. We are writing D. L.
Coale, an evangelist, and may secure
his help. Anyway arrange for the
will not in the cooking. Use 1 tea-
spoon salt to the quart of peas, cover
them in the can with boiling water
and cook No. 2 cans at 10 pound pres-
sure for 45 minutes or process 1 hour
for 3 successive periods.
In mixing peas and carrots the
above method may be followed if the
blanched peas are added to the car-
rots.
Carrots—Carrots should be not more
than 1 or 1% inches in diameter; they
are washed, scraped carefully, steam-
ed or boiled until thre-fourth done,
then canned whole or in slices. They
may be cooked in pressure cooker for
40 minutes at 10 pound pressure or
the intermittent cooking may be given
them as for beans.
An attractive pack of carrots may
be made by placing the circles of
sliced carrots in layers against the
side of square jars, fitting the second
layer into the space left by the first
layer, and repeating until the jar is
filled. The center should be filled in
as each outside layer is placed against
the glass.
Canned Beets—Boil beets until
three-fourths done. Peel and pack
whole those beets that average 1 inch
in diameter; two inches and over
should be sliced. Cover the beets in
the can with hot water. Process 1 to
2 hours.
Beets should never be packed in tin
cans unless they are enameled lined,
while beans should be packed only in
the plain cans.
Pickled Beets (Baby Beets)—(Use
only pure apple cider vinegar for any
pickle). 1 pint apple cider vinegar;
% cup water % cup sugar; % T cin-
namon; % T allspice—whole; Beets
14 inches in diameter.
Cook beets until peel will slip off
easily. Bring to a boil the vinegar,
sugar, water, and the spices tied
loosely in a cheese cloth bag; pour
this mixture over the beets and let
them boil 10 minutes. Pack beets
solid in the jars, pour boiling liquid
over them and seal at once. Glass
lids are better for all pickles.
Cold Cucumber Pickle—1 gal. vine-
gar, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup salt, 1 cup dry
mustard (if desired). Wash the cu-
cumbers and put in jars. Dissolve the
dry ingredients in the vinegar, and
use to cover the cucumbers. Seal. If
desired small cucumbers as gathered
may be washed and added.
Cucumber Pickles (Sweet)—3 c vin-
egar, 1 c water, 1 c sugar, % c salt, 2
peppers (copped), 2 slices onion, 2
pieces celery (sliced %-inch long.
Wash and dry cucumbers. Cut in
%-inch slices and soak in cold water
over night. Drain, press out water.
Fill the jars with cucumbers adding
celery, pepper and onion. Pack the
jars solid before pouring the other
ingredients over which have been
made into a syrup by boiling 2 min-
utes. Allow to stand 2 weeks before
using.
Below is given a list of canned pro-
ducts for fair exhibits. Standard
packs are being stressed now, and
these are some of the characteristics
of standard packs: full, well packed
jars, uniformity in ripeness and size
of the product, proper texture and
flavor, appearance, container and
label.
List of canned goods for Fairs—
2 quarts canned vegetables—different
varieties, 2 quarts canned fruits dif-
ferent varieties; 2 quarts fruit sweet
pickle—different varieties, 2 quarts
vegetable pickles—different varieties,
2 quarts relish—chopped fine—differ-
ent varieties, 3 containers jelly—difier-
ent varieties—in uniform containers.
