After the death, the sad death, of her husband, a little more than a year ago, her health began to decline and she was never well again. She suffered very much but she did not “Murmur nor complain beneath His chastening rod.” Mrs. Clements, say those who knew her best, was one of the best of women. She was from early youth a member of the Metho dist Church aud a pious, con sistent Christian. As sorrowing relatives, friends and acquaint ances laid away her mortal re mains in the church yard at Wesley Chapel, they knew that her spirit was, already, in the better land.

In Southern Cultivator.] 1 promised some time ago, to give my method of curing pea- vines. It is as follows: 1 cut the vines in the morn ing, after the dew is off, say starting at 8 o’clock, and cut until 12 o’clock. In this time with a good team and smooth land you will cut about five acres. I then start after dinner where 1 commenced in the morning, and rake up. A good hand follows with a hay fork, rounding up, into a conical shaped cock, each rake full making the height of the cock, about equal to the diameter at the base. They are allowed to remain in this shape two or three days, when two hands go around with hay forks, putting five or six cocks into one, this is very rapidly done. The vines remain in this shape until about cured, say ten days, when they are hauled up and packed in the barn. 1 use the hay principally for milk cows, but it is equally relished by mules. It will not materially damage the hay to be exposed to one or two ordi nary rains while in the cock. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. The Best Salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores.

Something that’s easy and comfortable, with “bones”] that can’t break or kink, and soft eyelets that won’t rust or cut the laces—something that clasps the figure closely, hut yields to every movement? Then you want the Ball’s Corset. If you find that you don’t, after wearing for two or three weeks, 1 you have only to return it to us and get your money back. Edwards, Normont A Cu- Sfosas
