fms M&ms iQmtw&i, Perry, Thursday, October SB, LbCAL NEWS, > -j£ A Lesson For Farmers. »Iu the October number of the Southern"Cultivator the editor leads with , an article concerning “A lesson from the Seasons.” From this article we reproduce a part, which'is applicable to Hous ton farmers, as well as to others: “The cotton crop has been cut short because the supply of water was not sufficient to withstand the excessive heat. Everything ha* emphasized the necessity of an abundant water-supply in order to insure a good crop, It is sim ply impossible to make a large crop without a large supply of wa ter. But with plenty of water we can. ' ‘‘Then it becomes^Question of great importance to know if we can do anything to. help make ’sure of this water-supply. We iare sure we can. Amidst all the jdisasters of this year, we find here 'and there a good crop. When we examine into the reasons for these 'exceptions we always find that the land was well broken last fall. This made it possible for the win ter rains to sink into the soil. It also enabled this same water to come back in the 'fiotT and" dry weather just when the crops most needed it. y • “The lesson every farraecehould: get from this is that if he expects to succeed, he must begin now and break his soil deep, ready for the next ceop. “Another lesson is the wisdom of sowing large grain crops this fall, Everything to live upon will be high this winter. Then plant everything that man or beast can live upon, that will grow in win ter. Fortunately, there are sev eral of these crops which will grow in the South.” .^] le8 ^ a y of Ia$t wlek, October 14th, Edith Nannette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ^as. A, Smith of near Wellston, died in Macon at the home ofher grand-father, Mr. Carter. The tenderest spmpathy of their many friends is with the bereaved parents and family. The following tribute is repro duced from the Macon Telegraph: For two short fleeting years, God left in the home of fond parents this little earthly life; trusted to their tender keeping this human flower, untouched by the blight of sin and srorrow; a tiny leather from they wing 6| . lovei dropped into the sacred lap of fiiotherhood. But) these two short years were time enough for her baby fingers to grasp and hold the affections of all, who knew her. Beautiful, as if touched by the finger of God, dainty and sweet,, she was bright and attractive be yond her years. Her every ac tion was full of grace, and she made a picture which will long linger with those who were wont to see her in the Sabbath sohool; her little face all flushed, and hap py, while her tiny hands waved in rhythmic motion to the chil dren’s songs of praise. Now these things are but a memory, and to loving, yearning hearts they come with a staggers ing weight of sorrow. They see, instead, a dainty formjunclasped by mother’s armseyes that yes terday were blue as skies of June, today drooped beneath ^kite lids, which no pleading voice, can raise.

Soft lips, yesterday rippling with laughter, sweet as murmuring woodland brook, gay as trill of forest bird, today unresponsive to call or kiss of love. A silent home, a little bed, un pressed dainty garments folded and (with aching hearts) tenderly laid away. A small mound, flow- er*strewn, in the silent city of the dead. In uneasy, troubled slumber, a father’s and mother’s groping touch for the fair head that used j;o nestlejnear their own.
