IN REMEMBRANCE.
Written for the homb jouxxal.
On the 9th day of March, 1901/
near Byron Ga., at her home,
and considered improper to say
bad things of them.
I trust that those who read this.
Sketch of this good woman’s life
will not think I say the good
things I do say from either cause,
but because of her what I say is
the truth.
She was a daughter of J. W.
Hardison, late of the county of
Houston. As a business man he
was far beyond common men ,
though educated only in his own
school.
When very young this daugh
ter was married to John E. Rush
ing. She was the mother of twelve
children; only six survive her.
Her husband still lives, to mourn
his great loss.
In the beginning of the Civil
War he went at the call of his
state, then Mississippi, and gave
the fou£ years service bravely and
faithfully* leaving- his wive and
babies without .any protection
save two young negroes. His
brave wife; leftiupon a farm with
her little - ones, did not pine away
and die with grief, but went to
work to make a ; support.for them,
(/and success crowned her efforts.
Through the fine business tact;
which she possibly inherited from
her father, the farm was run suc
cessfully during these four years.
Her husband did not return on
furlough but one time during this
long period. She made the clothes
for herself and children out of the
cotton which was raised on her
farm; carding, spinning and
weaving all by hand, and none
were neglected.
During all this she found time
to lend a helping hand to the
needy and afflicted around her.
No one ever called at her door for
help and was turned away.
When the war closed, she with
her family returned to Houston
county, where she resided until
her death. She was a member of
the Primitive Baptist Church at
Union.
In her every day life she showed
that the spirit of the Master was
with her, for no one can live so
pure, good life except, the love of
Him constrains her or him.
She was kind to all about her:
She was affectionate and pains
taxing. She did not speak evil of
anyone. Often have I heard her
kindly rebuke those about her for,
speaking harshly of others. Her
mind and heart were lofty. She
Uever discussed low or vile things.
In her old age she was as refined
and modest as a maiden. She was
patient, and bore grief with forti
tude.
She never complained at her
lot. She never pretended to be
what she was not. She had no
hypocrisy about her, but was true
and sincere in air her dealings,
words and actions, in life.,
I married her daughter, and
•during the fifteen years of that
married life she was frequently
with us, and we with her, and pot
one unkind word did she ever -ut
ter to me during all this live, nor
since 1 first met her—though she
had cause to.
Her soul was pure and spotless.
She was a blessing to all about
She helped all about her, and nev
er harmed anyone. If “by their
fruits we shall know them” she
is now in that home of the bless
ed, where pain and grief and sor
row enter not, where rest anc
peace and love make the sou
alive to worship Him whose grace
and love have saved her.
Just before dissolution she call
ed her children to her bedside anc.
said: “Children, I feel that I
must leave you; I must go to my
eternal Home. My only regret is
that I must leave my good chil
dren and grand-children and hus
band. My last request is that
you wait upon and be kinc.
to my dear old husband. Oh!
dislike so much to leave him.”
I trust that the shadow pf her
bright live may rest upon her be
reaved husband, now in his ole.
age, and that his grief may be as
suaged by the spirit of Him who
said “Blessed are, they that mourn
for they shall be comforted.”

By local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. Tjbere is only one way
to cure deafness, aDd that is by
constitutional remedies, Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling
yoned of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflai
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be dCstryoed for:

There is a deep pathos in the
picture by W. L, Taylor, called
‘ tThe Passing of the Farm,’ ’ which
appears in the June issue of The
Ladies’ Home Journal. The bow
ed and sad-faced figure of the
lonely widbw, standing with one
hand on the open door of the wait
ing coach while she takes a long
last look at her old home, makes
a strong appeal to the feelings.
The sad November sky, the dis
tant misty hills, the closed house,
the deserted barns/ and above all,
the dejected figure, bring a lump
into one’s throat.

There is every probability that
corn will in the future command
higher prices than in the past.
Com is selling in Chicago around
tile 60-cenfc mark, partly , because
of the Phillips speculation, but
more because of the increased
comsumption of the great Ameri
can cereal. The world is beginning
to realize the gastronomical pleas
ures possible in the yellow ker
nels.
Last year’s crop was, one of the
largest ever gathered, in this coun
try. In comparatively few sec
tions was there a failure of the
corn crop. Ten years ago, such a
bountiful yield would have insur-
edlO-cent corn in Kansas.The far
mers wopld have used the ears for
fueland the fodder for compost.
Conditions have materially
changed. The past few years have
been times of famine 5 in Russia,
India, and many other European
and Asiatic countries. As the
great storehouse of the world, the
United States have supplied these
waste areas with food. Here was
the grain man’s opportunity.
He began forwarding spipload
after shipload of corn to the fam
ine stricken countries. American
Consuls spread information about
the uses of the cereal. It is even
related that in some sections
cooks from this country taught
the.foreigners the delights of corn
bread, of cord pone, flapjacks,
corn cakes and the hundred and
one dishes familiar, to, the thor
ough-bred American palate.
Naturally the missionary work
is bearing fruit in a demand for
the cereal that promises to lift
maize to the dignity now occupiec.
by wheat.
Hereafter, famine or no famine
the farmer may expect increased
shipments of corn to the rest of
the world. Appetite must be sat
isfied and America has the where
withal. The glutted corn mar
ket is likely to be a thing of the
past.
The mother who would be hor
rifled at the thought of letting her
daughter wander away to a strange
country without guide or counsel,
yet permits her to enter that un
known land of womanhood with
out counsel or caution. Then, in
utter ignorance, the maiden must
meet physical problems whose so
lution will affect her whole future
life. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription has been well named i
“God-send to women.” It cor
rects irregularities and imparts
such vigorous vitality to the deli
cate womanly organs, as fits them
for their important functions.
Many a nervous, hysterical, peev
