80th, 1007, in the 62nd year of
bit age. One by one we are pat
io* away.
While the death • f Brother
Boach was not ^ surprise to his
family and friends, yet death is
alwa/s tad.. Neither was death
unexpected to him; for he had
been in declining health for
many years. He was not confin
ed to his bed bat a few weeks,
bat for a good many months he
bad not been able to attend to
any boHness. In early life he
joined the Baptist church and
V been a consistent member
op to the time of his death* He
bore hie affliction without a mar
iner or complaint. He waited
' with patience the Father’s will.
At a Christian he was truthful
and honest, and dishonesty and
falsehoods sways had his disap
proval." As a neighbor he was
obliging. As a father and hus
band he was affectionate, ten
der and loving; always striving
for their comfort here and in
voking God*s blessing on them
hereafter. Ho'leaves a wife and
seven children, with ten grand
children to mourn their low.
His wife before their marriage
was a daughter of the late John
Kemley of Mashawville. He wss
faueralized at his late residence
by the Kcv. £ D Craven in the
preeence of a large concourse of
friends and relatives. At the
conclusion <>f the services, the
1 body was conveyed to the Zion
Cemetery and there laid away
by gentle and loving hands to
await the resurrection morn,
we extend our heart felt sym
pathy to the bereaved family,
and pray Qpd’s richest blessings
upon.them in this the sore be-
reavement, And for and in be
half of the immediate family and
the relatives of the deceased, I
do from the depths of my heart
thank his neighbors and friends
for kindnesses done daring his
sickness and since bis death.
May God bless you all for your
assitance rendered so cheerfully.

Editor Press and Standard—The
picnic at Cross Swamp church is a
thing of the past. The . banner of
success floated over each feature of
the day. Ths crowd was estimated
at fifteea hundred or two thousand
the children did themselves credit,
and the music was extraurdinan;
especially the instrumental voluu-
taries by Char.es Black and the solos
of Miss Mamie Hiers—to say noth-
ining of the quartette by Mrs M P
Berry and Miss Mamie Hiers and
Messrs Claude Yarn and Meric
Dinner was served ia abundance
with ices, and lemonade throught the
day. The church was the Garden
of Eden with potted plants artistical
ly decorated and arranged by Miss
Minnie Ritter.
People came from everywhere.
Among the visitors were Misses Lilly
Bowers and Milly Bronson of Brun

Mr and Mrs McMillan, of Varnville,
at J 8 Jones’ and Miss Izura Miley
of Crockettville at W 0 Jones’. Mr

Bowers wss very sweet and it was
enjoyed by all
The spirits of some twenty or more
nad not yet succumbed to heat, con-
sequently they took the 19th on a de
lightful bluff on Willow Bwamp
where fishing and games were indul
ged in with delight, to say nothing
of the free tongue controlled by the
pretty maidens and gallant yonths of
our land. Such nleasant days—long
to be rememberra.

It le Regarded With Much Favor ae a
Forage Plant.
The melilotus in the north and west
la usually regarded no n weed. In the
south the white flowered variety Is re
garded with much favor ns a forage
plant and also for grazing. It le large
ly grown In certain sections of Mlssla-
rippl and Alabama. In tlie limestone
ragteos, and when the plant la mowed
at the, proper stage, before there la
too asbeb wood developed la It. the
quality of the hay Is c msldeml second
to Done of the clover family, alfalfa
Dot excepted. It only thrives to ad
vantage on lands etrougly Impregnated
with lime. Here It la at Its beat and
reaches Its greatest perfection. It will
take root and grow luxuriantly on bare
hose Spots where there la no other soil
on the surface of the ground. In time,
left to Itself, It wkl completely hide
MMlghtly bald places, and corn
ether field crepe can be grown
profitably on the land. It baa an eoor-
moos taproot that penetrates deep
down Into the aubeoll and gains nour
ishment from plant food denied to
other jegumfhoua plants.
Reaeeding Itself.
It reaeeda Itself every two yean, but
If the plant Is mowed fin this climate
at any .rate) or grased so that no seed
can Mrelop the plant seems to lose
Its nafural tendency to give up life
after two years' growth, and will con
tinue to produce, says a Mississippi
planter In Rural New Yorker. It baa
been fully ten years since I hare sown
any melilotus seed, and yet I find It
every year more or lees plentiful and
luxuriant on my Johnson grass and
Bermuda gram meadows.
Of Benefit to the tail.
Of course the preeence of this plant
on the lands named Is highly beneficial
to those meadows, the coarse, deeply
penetrating taproots of the melilotus
opening up the compact soil and thus
conducing to the better growth of both
Johnson and Bermuda grasses. Hay
made from melilotus when the plant
is In just the right stage of growth
for best results and properly cured is
a hay that Is In every sense equal to
the trot quality cowpea vines or any
of the clover family. _
