DEATH.
Mrs. Esther Ann Osteen, wife of
j Mr. N. (',. Osteen died at ?:3U o'clock
Tuesday night, after an illness of two
weeks and three days. In the full
\lg-or of strength, mental and physical,
.1 sjute h? r advanced age, death
seemed t'ai away from her. and it is
hard to realise that she has fallen
asleep. She was young in heart,
mind and sympathies and to the end
?until the day she fell sick two
weeks ago?she led an active and use?
ful life, and was happily spared the
infirmities that usually attend old
age. The end came peacefully and
calmly?she fell asleep and was with
God.
Mrs. Osteen was the youngest
daughter of Thomas and Louisa Du
Bols Doar, of Christ church, Charles- .
ton county, and was born November I
23rd. 1840. 8he watt twice married.'
i
her tlrst husband. Capt. lames An- ,
derson, of Charleston county, dying
from wounds received at the battle
, of Cold Harbor. Carried to Mr. N.
j G. Osteen in March 1866, she came
j to this city and has since made her
\ home here. I
She is survived by her husband and
the following children: D. 13. An
d rson, of Birmingham. Ala; Mrs. W.
' B. Murray, Dr. C. P. Osteen, Hubert
j O. Osteen, Dr. N. G. Osteen, Jr., and
1 Miss Moneta Osteen of this city.
She was a woman whose heart was
full of love, whose charity was broad,
whose sympathies were tender and
her life was one of loving service.
Only her near kindred knew the full?
ness and beauty of her loving kind?
ness and self-sacrifice for the com?
fort and happiness of others, but her
death also brings sorrow to many
others whose happiness she hed Joy?
fully shared and whose sorrows and
adversities she had tried to bear or
alleviate for which her friendship was
? reality, not a mere name.
The funeral service was held at
the residence, 316 West Hampton
avenue at 11 o'clock Thursday morn
Work is going on at the corner of
Main street and Hampton avenue to?
wards filling up the hole.* Which have

VUSMMOS EXTENSION WORK?
iRTICLE X.WH.
Pruning Fruit Trees.
Now li the tinif to begin work <?f
getting fruit trees in good condition
for their work tin- coming season and
pruning should be the tirst opt ration.
Before attempting this work the work?
er should know what to do and how
to accomplish the object sought. The
main objects of pruning are to thin
out superfluous growth, make the
tr? c symmetrical, to rejuvenate old
trees, to thin the fruit and to protect
the trees from diseases and insects.
Thinning out Superfluous Growth.
In pruning we should always aim
to secure a low open head to admit
a free circulation of air and abund?
ant sunlight. Remove all broken and
dead branches, thin out where growth
is too thick, and remove all water
sprouts.
Pruning Symmetry.
To form a symmetrical tree it is
best to begin at planting time as
soon as branches are formed. Select
the three branches which are to
form the frame work of the tree so
that they are evenly distributed up
t nd down and around the trunk.
Avoid having branches coming out j
opposite each other on the trunk, for
this makes a point of weakness. Af?
ter the tree is considerable size it ;s
harder to give symmetry to it, but by
judicious pruning he tree can bo
balanced up by removing branches
where there are too many on one
Aide and encourage branching on the
other side.
Rejuvenating old Trees.
1 >y removing the older portions or
0 itting out a portion of the branch?
es we stimulate growth in the re?
maining portion, and thus rejuvenate
the tree. Where large branches are
removed the cut should be made near
the branch that is left in order that
the wound will heal rapidly. To pre?
vent splitting or tearing of the bark
cut part way through the branch
from the lower side and then saw
from the top a short distance in
front of the under cut. Then cut off
the stub as smooth as possible, saw?
ing clear through from the top. Large
wounds should be covered with a
coat of thick lead paint or coal tur
to keep out water tv\ ddlsease germs.
Pruning to Thin Fruit.
To thin fruit of apple or pear cut
off some of the fruit spurs. Always
remove the old spurs and those on
the inside of the tree and on the
trunk and larger branches. To thin
peaches cut ? ft from one-third to onc?
half? of the length of new wood gnJ
remove some of the breaches where
they are crowded. Peach bttdt are
foun i in lh< bides ui the paai sea?
son's growth.
Pruning for Protection.
Ity removing all decayed fruit ?ni
decaying of dead woood we remove the
source of infection in many cases.
The Pear Blight of apple or pear is :
kept in check by cutting off and de.
stroylng the affected pans. As the
disease enters the blossoms on the
fruit spurs these spurs should be re?
moved from the trunk and large
branches, because the latter would
soon li( diseased and could not be re?
moved without serious injury to the
tret-. The pruning implements should
he disinfected after cutting off a dis
> a. i d branch. This can be done by
passing through a flame or dipping in
a solution <>f carbolic add or cor?
rosive sublimate.
