KENDALL. In the death of Di. W. T. Kcmlall Meridian realizes the loss of a valued citizen, the community mourns the ab¬ sence of a personality that has beeu al¬ ways influential in our social and ma¬ terial advancement, while many hun¬ dreds, iu the midst of us, are saddened by the departure of a personal friend Dr. Kendall was horn in Crawford ville, Ga., in 1841, and belonged, by lineage, to that splendid race of men and women that made the South great in its ea-ler days; later his father’s family removed to Mississippi and he accompanied them hither. Evincing an aptitude for the medical profession, he was educated iu this behall, and after a successful professional career in Attala county, he removed, in 1883, to Meridian, where he, at ouce, took a foremost place iu his profession. The wide esteem in which Dr. Ken¬ dall was held is evinced by the many manifestations of personal regard that have been evinced by his friends and neighbors during the lingerii g illness that preceded his death, while his pro. fessional brethren manifest their regard in the request that his brother physi¬ cians he permitted to act as pall hear¬ ers at the funeral today. Dr. Kendall was a member of the Odd Fellows. Masons, K. of II. and K. & L. of II. or leis. He was also a con sisteut member of the Methodist church. In all of his fraternal relations, he was esteemed and valued for his thorough appieciation of the obligations of his brotherhood; as a Christian gen. tleman, he so guarded and guided his life and conduct as to he an ornament of the church whose creed he profess ed. A widow, and two sons and two daughters are those whose best right it is to claim the sympathies of,Ihejcom muuily in the loss of a loving husbaud aud devoted father. The News begs to send to these a simple word of condolence, assuring them that in their grief many, very many, feel a compassion and compan¬ ionship because “a good man is gone.” —“Meridian News”, Mississippi. Printer’s Ink is the Road to Fortune Mr. O. T. Irby, the advertising manager of Messrs. Armor Bros., of Greenesboro’, sends us the following note which speaks for itself: Dear Advocate: We have been so crowded that I could not do any better, so you must excuse me and I will try and do better when trade begins to hold up. Printer’s ink is the road to fortune. Yours truly, O. T. Irby, with Armor Bros. Xhm Duty of» Fanuor to Hoop HU feoil Good. A farmer is a trustee, or a steward. His great Employer has committed a charge to him, and said : “Occupy till remove you. ” Raise whatever crops you ; choose; but keep the soil in as good state of fertility a8 n was when you reoeived it. The soil is to support those who come after you. It is the worst kind of robbery to take crop a f ter orop off a farm, aud do nothing towards re¬ pairing the waste. He who recklessly adopts a bad system of husbandry, not only wrongs himself, but is guilty of great injustice to his successors. The Creator works by means ; and He will not restore impoverished soils by a mir¬ acle. If a man by bad farming injures the fertility of his soil, he, aud those Who come after him, must suffer the damage resulting fyoni the abuse of the resourees of the farm. It is therefore So”'. tility, by means of the manorial re sources which it affords. If he does as well as every farmer mr.y do, the day will soou dawn when our crops may be increased at least two foid. Every far mer can do this in a few years by sim¬ ply commencing soiling, a renovating and growing system ; by sub manuring, propsr orop-i in rotation. Let young farmers resolve to leave their soil in a better state of fertility than they received it; and thus while bettering th»ir own condition, they will have the sa isfaotion of knowing that they have been faithful to their trust, ai £ X ^ ve g “ ot robb9d thelr successors.

Mrs. Lucy Hendricks and Mrs. Ida Moore, of Williams Creek, visited Mr. A. D. Moore’s family last Saturday. Uncle Seat) Acree as he is generally called was into see us last week. Mr. Acree is quite feeble, he being about eighty years old, hut he is full of his jokes yet. He has been our Coroner for several years and I expect will die with the harness on if he so desires. Guess whose business was wrapped up iu show pictures last week, causing him to use some Sunday school words. Young people now-a-days are all for high life and big frolics, and they know there is no pay in them for them all the same. We visited Crawfordville last week and found business quite dull. Some of the merchants said it was as dull as the middle of August. Myself, wife and daughter and Mr. W. T. Beckworth spent the day last Sunday with Mr. J. W. McKinney Sr. Mr. McKinney knows how to make his guests welcome. We all enjoyed our¬ selves finely. If you want to hear big jokes, and lots of them, call on Mr Thomas J'.' Evans. lie is always ready to supply the demand. Mr. Jesse MeKinney gave a nice party to the young people on Tuesday night at his father’s residence. Jesse is a dandy, sure enough.

Moore is quite sick at this wriliug. We visited the home of Mr. W. A. Lcgwen this week. Mr. Legwen is a Virginian by birth, hut has been a citi zen of this county and state for several years. He married one o£ Taliaferro’s best women and they raised some live or six clnldten. One of them died in t h e bloom of life. Mr. Legwen is a very successful farmer and business man and raises everything to eat at home.

Vltwt —fN« Chemical Ca. Baltimore. Md. Question 8. —I hare my ootton orop all on hand, viz: thirty seven bales; would you advise me to fell at present prices, or hold for a higher price ? C. A. H. Auswcrt 8.-‘-I would not take the re •ponsibiiity of advising in a case of this kind. Every farmer must act on his own jW foment, with the facts before 'gemrmt II infalli* Me, and t e are all liable to be mistaken, The cotton orop will undoubtedly bo a ■hort one, —r, seven million bales; the mills are all running, the demand for cotton is good, and business of all kinds is improving. This on the Bull side. Now, say the Bears, while we know the present orop will ba short; there was a big surplus from last year’s orop, which will more than make up for the deficiency of this crop, the price is now high, if it goes any higher the mills will shut down the price f. ; of ootton goods is going up and . that will ... check , , the .. demand. , , Those are the arguments used by the different sides, and yon can weigh them and de¬ cide for yourself. Through a farming experience of 83 years, I am satisfied that “in the long run,” that farmer comes oat best who gins and sells his cotton as fast as it is picked. Question 9 —I send yon some grass I found growing on tho bauk of a ditch. What is it called, and is it of any value? P. L. Answer 9.—The grass is Herd’s grass or Redtop, (Agrostis Alba). In your valley lands this grass would make a fine permanent pasture, or ex aellent hay. It does not stand a drought well, neither does it do well on lauds that are unusually dry, or thirsty as wo farmers say. On some of your rich hillsides I ha»e no doubt, it would also succeed, espe¬ cially when the land is newly cleared. This grass is perennial.

The dry weather of September, has continued through this month, offering to the farmers of ill; state, as tine an op¬ portunity to gather their cotton iu good condition, as I have ev*r known. They , have availed ,, themrolves , , of tills oppor tnuity, and with the incentive of good prions, every energy has been given to the gathering of the cotton tv-op, it oven being reported in the newspapers, thut in some counties, picking bus been car Tied , , on . by moonlight. 11*1 In south ,! and j southwest (rocr ?r.t, tlio crop is praofci cally gathered while in middle and up per Georgia picking is still being push* ed Vigorously, and the crop will vary soon bo all housed Iu some counties „ Ix-ttor n™ ,™ exp.,.t(d in otl.eia worse, and on the wnole I see no reason to change my Au gust estimate of the crop—viz: three iourtha of last year’s yield, as a maxt urn in. 1 repeat the advice I gave last month about cotton seed—viz : do not soil at or 0V01I [g 0 Ollts a bushel, but USO thorn ill making your compost he:*p8, »>■•< «-«<*« It •»*>■« only mm ,* •«"»» Id not wot eoonomy. but reskloss extravagance, to sell cotton seed at JOcont-i per bushel and pay $18 for cotton seed meal, hauling each produot from tlirco to ten miles. Hero in is one daiiger and disadvantage of ihe tenant system, by which so much of onr land is v u'lced. The average tori ant, oaring nothing for the keeping up, or improvement of the land bo works, Bells all his ootton seed regardless of what the price may bo, thus year by year impoverishing the laud, to his own detriment aud the injury of the laud owner. There having been so littlo rain in tho stato for the past m to eight weeks,the orop so far picked has graded very high, a very small p„-r ooutago being below middling. There is nothing new to say of this crop, whish Is now being housed. Talc ing the entire state, it is undoubtedly * he lar «°f c p over made within her hear borders, 1 farmers it b^iig rfbiu different » y-ornmos sections i.htag» to say that “they have raised enough for a two year’s supply.” On aooonnt of the one year to another, in a largo portion of tho state. If, however, all that is claimed for bisulphide of carbon, is true, then this wo ivilpast oau be fought and conquered. How to use this rem¬ edy is explained iu answer “Talk," to a ques- 1 tiou in this month’s and trust it will be generally tried by the farmers of the state. If one applica¬ tion does not fully destroy the weevil, try u B oooud iu four or five weeks, Don’t forget to avoid taking fire about tho crih for sovoral days after using the bisulphide, as it is very inflammable, <p h)H remedy is said to do no harm to the grain, in the way of injuring its germi¬ nating power, but I have recently been told by an intelligent gentleman of Mor gau oouuty. that though lie kept tho weevil out of his wltoat by the use of the bisulphide, not a grain of the wheat so treuted over sprouted when planted. It is possible tnat he upnlied the pre¬ ventive too richly.and ho killed tho germ in the wheat grains, or there may have been some other cause for the non sprouting of the wheat. PEAS, FODDER ETO. The wet August injured these crops in south Georgia, but iu the middle and upper portions clean of the state, fodder, a large amount of bright aud large quantities of peas, huvo been saved A great quantity of fine hay has been saved in the south Georgia, which will compensate for the lost fodder. I hope the day has come, or is close upon us, when every corn field will be sowed in peas at the last plowing, and that every field in small grain, will be sowed down in field peas, after harvest. In this way wo can largely keep up the fertility of oar lands, aud increase their value at a very nmall coat. BICE. The weather this season has beau un¬ usually favorable for the harvesting of tiiis crop, which has for some time been concluded. The yield aud quality have both been satisfactory to the planters. SORGHUM AND SUGAR (JANE are generally good in their respective sections of the state.

I have no doubt that many of these deaths might lie traced to stagnated water, which on necount of the very dry fall, is apt to be found in most pas turns. As soon as sickness appears among his cattle, the owner should changi them to another pasture, where he is surj that they can get. none but pure water, either trom a runuing stream or a well. In many cases this will stop the spread of the disouse. SHERIFF’S SALES. GEOItG I A, Taliaferro County.
