In Memory.
Miss Lurene Sandifer, tbe seventeen
year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs Joe
Sandifer, died at her home near Poil
lippi at 4 o’clock Sunday morning, Oct.
7, 1900 She was buried at Oounty
Line, and her tuueral preached bv her
pastor, Rev. J. A. Jackson.
Lurene having just grown up through
youth, 6trong, full of life and anima
tion, was just settling into young wo
manhood with its brightest prospets and
luring hopes, when she was taken with
a spell of sickness about midsummer,
but she got up and seemed well as usu
al, when about a week previous to her
death she was lingering along, first up
and down until last Sunday morning,
when she sweetly fell asleep in Jesus.
Lurene was an industrious and lov
ing young girl, and before the age of
sixteen made profession of religion
and united with the Missionary Baptist
church at Phillippi, and gave promise
of making a very useful member, as
she was a great worker in her Sabbath
School class.
She leaves her parents, three sisters
and one brother, a large circle of rela
tives and many friends—especially
young friends—bereaved at her loss
But we mourn not without hope, 100 l -
iug forward to a glorious resurrection.
No more thy smiles shall Light, Lurene,
The sunshine of this life.
Yet sometimes in the solemn hush
A soft dream floating by
Shall show me my dear friend
With angels up on high.

Questions Answered,
la there any objection to planting
peach trees on newly cleared land?
Ans. In my opinion newly cleared
land should never be planted lu peach
trees if other good peach land is availa
ble. Laud should be cultivated at least
two years after clearing before planting
it in orohard.
The reason: New land cannot be prop
erly prepared for the reception of trees
on aooount of the roots of the forest
trees. Thorough preparation of the
ground before planting is one of the
essential factors in fruit growing. Deep
preparations before planting and shallow
cultivation afterwards is the rule.
Furthermore, trees planted on new
land are subject to the attacks of Ter
mites or “wood-lios,” as they are com
monly known to the fruit grower. These
insects breed in great numbers in de
caying roots of forest trees and when
fruit trees are plauted in new land they
fall an easy prey to these “wood-lice,”
which attack the roots and the base of
the tree. The remedy for ‘-wood-lice”
is tobacco dust. The dirt should be re
moved from the base of the tree and a
hand full of tobacco d.o*t applied and
the dirt thrown back
Best Crop In the Peach Orchard.
What are the best crops that can be
grown in a peach orchard without mate
rial injury to the trees?
Ans. Cotton, canteloupes, sweet pota
toes and peas. It is not desirable to plant
corn or any grain crop in an orchard.
Cotton is, perhaps, by far the best crop
to grow in an orchard. It practically
insures a good cultivation for the trees
almost throughout the season, just what
they need. No good farmer will fail to
cultivate his cotton crop, but he may
neglect his trees.
When peas are plauted in an orohard
they should be plauted in drills and
cultivated so that the trees will not
suffer for cultivation. Never sow peas
broadcast in an orchard and, thus pre
vent cultivation.
These crops may be profitably grown
with the trees only for the first two or
three years. No crop should be grown
in an orchard after the third year.—
