Heretofore it has taken several
months to rot the straw so that
the fibre could be separated. It
is now discovered that the rott¬

numbers, so that enough micro¬

WHEN TO S70P ADVER-
1ISING.
An English trade journal once
requested a number of its lar¬
gest advertisers to give their op¬
inion concerning the best time
to stop advertising, and the fol¬
lowing replies were received:
“When populations ceases to
multiply and the generations
that srowd on after you, and
never heard of you, stop coming
on.”
“When you have convinced
everybody whose life will touch
yours that you have better
goods and lowor prices than
they can ever get anywhere
else.”
“When you perceive it to he
the rale that men who never ad
vertiso are outstripping their
neighbors in the same line of
business.”
“ When men stop making for¬
tunes right in your sight solely
through the discreet use of tins
mighty agent.”
“When you can forget the
words of the shrewdest and
most successful business men
concerning the main causa of
their prosperity.”
When every man has become
so thoroughly a creature of hab¬
it as that he will certainly buy
this year where he bought last
year.” - « and fresher
“When younger
houses in your line cease start¬
ing up and usiug the newspape¬
rs in telling the people how
much better they can do for
them that you can.”
“When you would rather
have your own way and fail,
than take advice and win.”
“When nobody else thinks its
pays to advertise.” •

Death of Mrs. Holcombe.
"We clip the following from the
Wesleyan Christian Advocate on the
death of Mrs. Holcombe, who was a
sister of our fellow eitizen Mr. Asa
F. Sims. Mrs Holcombe was well
known to many of our older readers.
Mrs. Matilda Ann Holcombe,
daughter of Hale and Mary Sims, was
born in Elbert county, Georgia. Feb¬
ruary 17, 1816. She was married to
Rev. Alfred Holcombe, April 22 1847
and died at Oakland, Florida, July 31
1891.
This godly woman like most min¬
isters’ wives knew what is ment by
getting out from her “father’s house,"
and from “her kindred.” For some
years, while in their native State, the
itinerant wheel moved them from
home to home. They traveled a few
years in Florida. The evidence
comes up through their forty.five
years of wedded life, that she fully
met the responsibilities of life both as
a mother and wife.
She was happily converted in her
fifteenth year, and fought the whole
battle of life as an unselfi L Christian.
She knew but little pleasures as the
world interprets it. But of those
pleasure which are from above, full of
peace and gentleness, she knew much.
For sixty-two years she kept her
place in the Lord’s great army, and
finally conquered in His name, walk
ed in the beauty of a blameless life.
During this long service she carried
duty as her watchword until her work
became instead, “a labor of love.”
In patience tihs watched and wated
ior the coming of the Master, and
when everything else failed she had a
precious hope left. For some reason
the Good Shepherd suffered darkness
to lower over this fabhful servant.
Reason lost her place in ihe hitherto
cloudless sky. She went slowly
down into the arms of death, during
all of which she rarely murmured.
The last two months were full of
trial; a more shadow would alarm her
She claimed to be ready to die but
dreaded the chilly waves. A few days
before death I gave her the holy coin
munion. This Drought reason to her
throne and brought joy to the suffer -
er. How she worshipped, and bow
the dark shadows dispersed! To¬
wards the last she never allowed her
husband to leave her. She died far
away from all her kndred, but kindly
hands ministered to all her wants.| I**
this respect, the “lines fell to her in
pleasant places.” We that knew hei
here know where to find her over
yonder. She was a church member
