A DESTRUCTIVE INSECT IN TOMATO FIELDS
Many persons have noticed here and there
through their tomato fields, vines dying from
no apparent cause. 1t is believed that the dam
age is the result of the ravages ola small white
worm or grub, about half an inch In length, that
burrows into the stem of the plant, near the
top of the ground, from whence 1t eats its
way up the stalk, near the surface 1t has been
found that the greatest damage is done in land
where sod was plowed down for the tomato
crop. Mr.. Geo. w. McComas, who lives near
Magnolia, has q acres in tomatoes and has lost
about one-third of his plants from the cause
mentioned. County Commissioner Jacob II.
Plowman, also of Abingdon district, has lost
about 5000 out of 10000 plants in his field
The worm is believed TO be identical with the
grub which frequently destroys potato vines
The man who discovers remedy for the pest
will deserve well Of tomato growers.

The Baltimore american is responsible
for the statement that a new political organ

those of the long. extinct Know Nothing or.

requiring of foreign-born citizens twenty one
years actual residence before being entitled

been an invalid for the past fifteen years. She
was laid to rest at that beautiful and romantic
spot, the Trappc. where sleep her many relatives
and friends who have gone before. The funeral
preparations were conducted with all that good
taste and affection could suggest The beautiful
floral tributes that were placed upon her grave
spoke louder than words could convey the affec-
tionate esteem and respect her many friends en-
tertained for her. Having lived near three-score
years and ten, the allotted sphere of man. and led
a life all blameless and praiseworthy; having
been great sufferer, which was borne with more
than Christian fortitudc we may truly say our
loss is her eternal gain. To the sorrowing rela-
tives and friends we tender our consolation.
Fen while we weep the tears that ease the heart
In rays prismatic paint tn o'erchanging skies,
And new hope, of our grief part,
In faith prophetic to the doubt replies:
Bodies must die
Death is their goal
Lowly they lie
Not so the soul:
God keepeth that with ever watchful eye
All will be WELL"
By sorrow proved, made pure by trials here,
The chastened heart looks upward for relief,
And holds in spirit that communion dear,
Which Is the well, spring of this sweet belief.
After the strife
Cometh a rest;
Eternal life.
Forever best
The soul he gathers home, precious sheaf.
And all is well. H. NJ r.
