CHESTERFIELD HARDWARE CO. 1 JL- _ ; GHR] The I* c Now 11 % i? n Livery U'dy y Ia ii Investigate 01 iiniirif ISAAC DAVID HUNTLEY )- ifat. Croghan, Dec. 5.?On Monday d j morning of last week the little town of Ml. Croghan was shocked to learn t, of the death of one cf her oldest, most loved citizens, Isaac David e Huntley. It was kiiown that he was r, suffering from an attack of tonsilitis, but net even those who loved him best and served him constantly realized that he was so ill, in fact he was sitting by the fire joking with mem- j y bers of the family at seven-thirty and death claimed him a few minutes be"? fore nine, so that the slmi-L- ?i I > most more than the family and o relatives could bear up under. Only by sustaining help from the Heavenly Father were they able to give him up. e Mr. Huntley was not quite sixtysjsix years old, not an old man in j years, and still younger in spirit, for J he was always jolly and had a ' i>leu>anl word for every one 'with | whom he came in contact. He will ", be greatly misled by hi friend'-, but ? hi*? loss will be more keenly felt in the s' Kr.ptrst -huivh of which he bad be a " a member since early manhood. Hi;! c' urch never made a call of any hind that Mr. Huntley did not answer liberally, either in point of time or . j money. After :< simple service at the home |the remains were laid to rent in the Eli/.abcth cemetery, and the mound completely covered with floral offering. _?_____ MRS. C. L. HICKS i Mrs. C. L. Hicks died last Tuesday 1 morning; at her home in the Teal's Mill settlement. The burial occurred Thursday morning at Mt. Olive church, the Rev. T. B. Owen conducting the services. Mrs. Hicks, the daughter of Mr. Marshal White, was in her 28th year. She is survived by her husband, who is seriously ill with pneumonia; and three children. Two brothers, two sisters and two halt-brothers and two hdlf-sisters also survive her. If you want Ice Crea"1 for Christ, mas dinner place your orde? early. Square Deal Drug Co.

Nutt, acting chief general prohibition agents; andJudge .James J. Britt, counsel, Prohibition Unit,' returned Saturday from a week's survey of Southern States, where they met with directors, divisional chiefs and their agents, prominent officials j and representative citizens, in furthering of a program for closer cooperation of ail enforcement agencies. Delighted with the success of the trip, Commissioner Haynes issued the following statement: "Conference in which I have participated the past week with Governor.-, Federal Judges, U. S. Attorneys. U. S. Marshals, Mayors, Sheriffs, Chiefs of Police and other otfcials in several Southern states, together with Directors, Divisional Chiefs and various officers of the Prohibition Unit, having as the primary object closer co operation oi an entorcement agencies, as contemplated by the concurrent provision of the Eighteenth amendment, proved inspirational and productive of practical help. "I found in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisana and Florida a militant public sentiment in favor of prohibition law observance and constructive enforcement. The attitude of officials, who volunteered the fullest support, demonstrated that an earnest citizenship is asserting itself everywhere in the South, not unlike that in practically every section of the country. "Old-time illicit distilling in the I South is succumbing to the vigorous, united attacks of federal, state and county officials, while the character 1 of the product, made under most unsanitary conditions, is causing such a slump in demand that the problem i is no longer difficult. The same may also be said in relation to coast-line smuggling, which has been reduced by means of sub-chaser and motorboat control and general knowledge ' that most so-called smuggled liquor j is not imported, but doctored, syn-| thctic stuff, fraudlcntly bottled and 1 fraudulently labelled. With all bond- ' ed liquor securely guarded in ware- i houses and scarcely any pure liquor coming from foreign shores, consumers are rapidly realizing that most ! available beverage liquor is unfit to|< drink, and this phase of the situation,] 1 together with concerted action all along the line, is making the Eighteenth amendment a stern, enforcable actuality. "The trip a a whole was eminent ly satisfactory. There were earn- .) est proffers of cooperation by high officials everywhere. The reception of our party was warm and generous at all places, and well-known South- 1 ern hospitality was abundantly sus- i tained." t | t MASONIC MEETING j < Special Communication of Chester- s field Lodge No. 220 A.

I ON PLANTING YOUNG TREES 1. The growth made by a young fruit tree first year in the orchard is more in determining sucess than any other year in its history. 2. The soil should be previously prepared by deep plowing and pulverizing as carefully as for a seed bed. 3. If the soil of the orchard isj well prepared, holes to receive the trees need be only deep and widej enough to accommodate the natural: spread of the root system. In set-1 tinir replants in an orchard, the! holes should he dujr deep and broad1 enoujrh to cut hack the encroaching' roots of surrounding trees to avoid competition until the replant i? es-' taLlished. 4. Medium-sized, one-year-old trees or well urou.i June buds are to be preferred to older trees for transpla ntinjr. 5. The roots of younjr trees) should be protected against dryinji out, by avoiding unnecessary exposure of the root to air in bundlingG. The roots of younjr trees are more succeptible than tops ti? in- | jury from cold and should not be exposed by handling during freezing temperatures. A mere frost may j kill them. n t* i ? * * i. 11 is dciu'v to cut the main j roots to six or oijrht inches in' length than to leave them Ion./ enough that they may be bent 01 kinked in planting. S. Usually the tree should be planted no deeper than it stood in ' the nursery. New roots start more J promptly where the soil warms first, near the surface. Most planters set the trees too deep. 9. Compact the soil firmly about the main roots to avoid drying out, but do not bruise the roots in firin-l ing the soil about them. Bruised roots renew growth less readily and arc more subject to infection by, root diseases. 10. Early winter planting, while ; the trees are fully dormant, is bet-h ler than late spring planting, when | . the buds are starting into growth. J If the planting must bo delayed, the j trees may be Hept dormant longer.! by removing them from the trench turning them over, and again healing them in.

It also would save the spinners and others the necessity of an extra transaction, he added, when delivery to them on contracts included cotton they could not use.
