Death of Mrs. Jane Yarbrough.

Mrs. Jane Yarbrough died sud

day of last week, and was interred
in the family burial ground (old
Antioch Cemetery) on Friday.
~ She was seventy odd years of age
at time of her death, and leaves

Tlosts of other relatives friends to
mourn, her loss.
Her daughter-in-law and little
grand-son was near her when she
was stricken down. She was gath
‘ering up soiled clothes to be washed
and was near her bed, and when
first taken managed to get on the
‘bed, but when those at the house
reached her, she had breathed her
tlast.
She had resided at the place she
died at for many years, and was so
good and kind, to all whom she
came in contact with, it can truth
fully be said, “That none knew her
but to love her.” She bad been a
member of the Missionary Baptist
chnreb for a long while, and was a
sincere christain lady. |
It is said of her by her neighbors
that no needy person ever went to
’hcr nouse and left empty-handed.
No telling how mauy poor people
she has assisted during her life time.
It seem to be a labor of love to her
to be able to render assistance to
those less fortunate than herself.
She was a good woman in every
sense of the word--no better ever
lived in the county--so her neighbors
say, and now she has gone to reap
that reward she striven so hard for
while on this ecarth.

St Black Root Evtl.
Many farmers from tbroughout
Jeff Davis County was here on
Wednesday morning of last week,
and met at the court house at 10
o’clock to listen to Prof R 1. Nixon
of the State Agricultural College,
E Lee Worsham, of the State Board
of Entomology, and Hon Tom G.
Hudson, Commissoner of Agricul
ture, discuss the Black Root evil
and other farm conditions with
which the farmers have to deal.
Prof. Nixon made a plea for the
Agricultural College, advising the
farmers to attend the special ses
'si(m and convention held there at
various times, and to consult with
the authorities there whenever any
thing came up upon which they de
sired information.
Mr E Lee Worsham, of the State
Board of Entomology, explained
very clearly the work of the disease
called black root, and gave the
remedies for successfully fighting
it. He stated that rotation was
good, but that would not eradicate
it, that poison would not be effec
tive, and the only way to success
fully keep it down, was by means
of selecting resistant seed. His de
partment has quite a lot of thel
seed that will resist the encroach
ments of the black root, and he
will be glad to send seed to all who
‘will co-operate with the department
in fighting the evil. Many of the
farmers present Wednesday madel
requests for these seed that does)|
not tend to spreud the disastrous
work of the black root.
Commissioner of Agriculture Tom
Hudson did not go into a scientifie
discussion of any matters, but talk
ed as a farmer to farmers, one who
is familiar with the trials, the dif
ficulties and the successes that
come to them. He spoke on the
general farm conditions, and the
burden of his talk was for the farm
ers to diversify, make their own
homestuff and to use business
sense in the menagement of the
farms, just 2s any other business
that is well regulated, uses sense.
Every farmer present at this
meeting learned something that will
be a great benefit to him.
They Lald the Water-Mains at Night.
When the bunch of hands em
ploved to put down the watermains
in our town struck the Southern
R R on Tallahassee street, they dad
to stop work and wait for 2 permit
from said road before they could
go under the tracks with the main.
After waiting several days for the
permit to arrive fromheadquarters,
and it failing to arrive, a bunch of
hands gathered at the crossing of‘
the Southern tracks about 1 o’clock
on Wednesday night of last weex,
and within a very short time after-'
wards the watermain had l)een‘
placed under the tracks, and the
tracks not harmed in the least.
fts a pity, however, that the}'l
didn’t wait a day or two louger on
the R R to send the permit, for wel
have learned since this work was
done, that the permit would have
been sent down the next day.
Reailroad Companies are very
slow sometimes in doing things,
but its always, best to wait on them.
Last Saturday we received a cou- |
ple of bushels of sweet-potatoes, two
gallons of new syrup and one doz
en and 2 half of fresh eggs on sub
seription. Little later on---hog
killing time---we expect some of our
country friends will bring us in.
