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.” Soon will all of us‘ be taken frorii this earth into the mysterious be yond.

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. “A few months ago, food which I ate for breakfast would not re main on my stomach for half an hour.

St. Lonis Rapublic. 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.
