These were the words which were •whispered on last Sunday morning and cast a gloom over our entire town and community, and the sad duty has befell our lot to record the death of one whom was, we might say, almost a mother to us, one whom we have lived all our life a near neighbor, and dear friend of our own dear mother whose sweet spirit took its flight two years previous. Un¬ der these sad circumstances makes it doubly hard for us to perform this paiu fol duty. Mrs. Turner breathed her last at eight o’clobk on last Saturday evening after a lingering illness of several months. She was in the 70th year of her age and was a devout member of the Meth¬ odist church, a sweet Christian woman and a devoted, loving mother. Her sad taking off is one of those mis terious providences we cannot under¬ stand, but God doe.th all things well; IJe is too good to lie unbind. The bereft children and grand-cluld ren have the sympathy of the entire town and community. The funeral services ocenred at the residence Sunday ■ afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, conducted by Rev. J. L. A oon and Dr. Quigg, which were very appro¬ priate and impressive; after which the the remains were escorted to Rockdale Cemetery by a large concourse of friends and relatives and given their dual rest¬ ing place beside her husband, who died some years ago. The Pa 4 bearers were Mr. D. N. Hud¬ son, Prof. R. A . Guinn, Dr. M. IT. Mel¬ ton, Mr. J. B. Norton, Mr. L. H. Sigman and Mr. H. Y. McCord, Many beautiful flowers covered the casket as a loving token of respect from friends. There come times in all of our lives when no words of human sympathy or condolence can caffii the troubled breast, and we can but point them to Him who is the giver of all life and the source of all comfort and consolation. There must come to us all times of be¬ reavement, when if it were not for the fact that, “Hope bends over man’s last resting place, a bow bright with immor¬ tality, and listening love may catch the rustle of a wing”, we should be, of all men, the most miserable.

Gleaton. whiter spraying, and have, the writer will admit, succeeded in holding the pent in check fairly well; but to thoroughly control it another application of the 20 per cent, kerosene is necessary. This spraying can bo-made with perhaps the greatest effect in the spring just before the trees come into bloom. These annual sprayings make the treat meu (. S0 ;newhat expensive; but. in the ^p^iion 0[ writer, it is more expea gjye in the end to neglect one of them, when the loss by the ravages of the scale is considered. In connection with the use of kerosene apon fruit trees the following empera tives should be impressed upou the op¬ erator: Never use over 10 per cent, kerosene in summer nor over 20 percent, in win ter tor spraying peach or plum trees. Never allow the kerc..„ne to run down the trunk of the tree and collect about the collar. Never spray on a damp day but select fair weather for the work. * . Be sure that your pump is always dis charging the desired iiercentage of kero sene. Never spray when the trees ore in bloom. CRUDE PETROLIUM FOR THE SAN JOSE scale.— Last spring the writer expert merited quite extensively with the use of crude petrolimn as a remedy for the scale, using about three barrels of the substance. The applications were made in March before the trees bloomed, Different percentages of the crude oil were used, from the pure substance down to 20 per cent, in water, applied with the regular kerosene sprayers. Only peach and plum trees were used In t]ie experiments. Without giving de tails of the work it is sufficient to say that the pure crude petrolium killed tne ^ ree3 w hile go ner cent, and less appar ently did no damage, and 25 per oeut. proved to be sufficient to destroy the scale insects wherever they were reach* ed by the spray. The sprayed trees remained oily for six weeks after the*application was made and it is impossible for the insects to • live with such a coating of grease over j them. Then the question arises, why j not recommend crude petrolimn as a remedy for the San Jose scale? It was at first thought a cheap remedy for the scale had been found and that this pesi could bo easily controlled at little ex¬ pense; but it was later determined that the price fixed by the Standard the OH Co. | for crude petrolium was about same i as the price for refined kerosene. It was then thought that the substance could be obtained much cheaper at the oil wells, but the writer has been unable so far to find a well, the out-put of which is not controlled by the Standard Oil Co. Furthermore, at the recent annual ses »ioa of the Association of Economic En¬ tomologists held at New York, Dr. E. ?. Felt, State Entomologist of New York State, read a paper giving his experi¬ ments with the use of crude oil against the scale, and the discussion that follow¬ ed, in which entomologists from differ¬ ent sections of the country took part, showed conflicting results as to the ef ifcct of thus substftDic6 upon S] r *Ti*y4Kl In some experiments trees were killed, while in others no damage was done! p u; n0 one se emed to doubt the efficiency j of the crude oil in killing the insects. In view oi these conflicting results and , fch e high price of the article, rhe writer besitates ^ reoommeud the substitution of ornde petrolium for the refined kero gene. The grower may choose fo» him- , ,elf between the two substance* 1 Wj a e is Exchange. A. 6—ALMAND HARDWARE CO 2 !—ALMAND, J. M. res. 24— ALMAND, J. H. Bank, o o. 88 AT AXON POST OFFICE.
