A GOOD LADY DEAD.
On Tuesday morning last, about
six (f’clock, Mrs. Sarah Mann
breathed her last at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. J F. McDan¬
iel, near Conyers. She had been
sick for several weeks, but her
death was a sudden stroke to even
the immediate family, She had
been out in the yard, accompanied
by Mrs. McDaniel, and returned
to eat her breakfast, when she
suddenly expired without a strug¬
gle, or even without a word to
anyone.
At the time of her death Mrs.
Mann was 81 years of age, and
up to several months ago she en
joyed remarkable good health for
one of her age. She was a noble
Christian lady and a member of
the Presbyterian church in this
place. She leaves several child¬
ren, a number of grand children
and a host of other relatives and
friends to mourn her death.
The remains were buried in
Smyrna cemetery yesterday after¬
noon at 2 o’clock, after funeral
services at the church conducted
by Rev. H. J. Adams.
To the bereaved ones we would
extend sympathy.

Watermelon and Potato Culture.
Question. —Will watermolons make
on land after sweet potatoes, or potatoes
after watermelons? Is cottonseed meal
and acid phosphate a wood fertilizer for
cotton, and if so in what proportions?
Answer. — Watermelons and sweet
potatoes are both large consumers of
potash, and for that reason only they
do not follow each other well, unless a
fertilizer is used containing a large per¬
centage of potash. Therefore, in fol¬
lowing cithor of those crops with the
other, you should use a fertilizer carry¬
ing b to 8 per cent phosphoric acid, 2 to
3 per cent ammonia and $ to 10 per
cent potash.
