OBITUARY.

Mrs. CHARLOTTE AUGUSTA Fritz was
born in Columbus, Georgia, August Is,
1894, and died at her home in Grant
parish, Louisiana, August IL, 1888. Her
maiden name was Griggs. She was mar
ried to Chas. w. Fittz March 26, 1851,
with whom she spent happy married
life.
She united with the Methodist Episco-
pal church South when quite young, and
remained steadfast to the end, and such
was the consistency of her christian life,
that we trust her death was simply
transfer of her church membership from
earth to Heaven. Her husband was al
ways in rather feeble health, which re-
quired of her additional duties both In
planning and executing; but an air Of
comfort and plenty about her home indi-
Gated that she was equal to every emer-
gency. She was truly helpmeet, look
ing well to the ways OF the household, for
she ever with cheerful heart anticipated
and with willing hands provided for the
waits and comfort of those dependent
upon her.
Her religion was Of that modest type
of "meek and quiet spirit" that found
but little expression in words, but shone
forth in the kindly acts and deeds OF her
every day life. Her mission upon earth
seemed to be to make others happy, and
| in this respect her ife-work was sue
cess, as was sufficiently attested by the
words of her neighbors, when they said
| of her after she was gone, "She will be
missed" A part of her hfe-work was the
bringing of her husband into the fold OF
Christ a short while before her death,
which was to her q season of rejoicing;
and we trust the rest of her family will
| in like manner follow the example Of one
in every way worthy their imitation.
Her last hours were calm and peaceful
While on her death-bed, she said to the
writer she was resigned to the Lords
will, either to remain on the earth while
longer for the good of her family, or tx
be taken to heaven" In such frame Of
mind she met death, calm and composed
fearing no evil as she passed "througt
the valley of the shadow of DEATH" IL

wife of Rev. Uriah Whatley, of the Lou
siana Conference NJ e. Church South.
Hers was life Of no extraordinary dis
closure or thrilling incident, but from its
incipiency was full of important mean
ing. At an early age she was impressed
by the death Of brother with the text:
"The soul that sinneth shall surely die"
At the early age of twelve years she there
fore sought knowledge and reconcilia-
ton with God, which for sixty years was
her comfort and hope. In answer to the
eager questions of loved ones in the hour
of dissolution, she said, T"An is WELL The
way is clear 1 am ready" And as she
touched the chilly waves in the valley Of
the dark river, and the noise and tumult
Of earth was hushed, she said, "Seraphs
sing;" and, as if beholding the shining
throng, the last words that fell from her
stammering tongue we're, Beautiful

The oat crop, which is so prominent In
our farming, Is rarely utilized Tor farmers
tables. In a somewhat long acquaintance
in the rural districts, We do not.remember
ever TO have met with oatmeal cooked In
any form. This diet Is favorite at the
breakfast table in our cities, in the form Of
mush, and, eaten with sugar and milk, Is
an appetizing and wholesome article OF
diet. But upon the farm, the oat crop is
very largely money crop, sold in the
nearest market or at the railway station.
II used upon the farm it goes to the
horse without grinding, or, If ground,
as proyender for the pigs. Almost
everywhere we meet with corn products
upon the table, Indian bread, the convent
ent johnny.cake, hasty pudding, samp,
hominy, corn bread, and that finest Of all
summer dishes, succotash-the sweet corn
mingled with the sayory juices Of the bean.
The wheat plant is well represented, in
bread and other forms Of cooking, though
it has ceased 10 be product OF many
northern farms. In oil the region where
rye has taken tho place Of wheat, rye bread
is staple article OF diet. Baked beans are
about as popular as ever, in the rural dis
tricts, and are likely to hold their
own with the coming generations But
oatmeal IL ignored as food fit for
men. Among the people who use 1t,
and in the analysis Of the chemist, itstands
confessed as one oil themost nutritious and
economical food that can be used. The
Scotch people are living examples OF what
oatmeal will do 10 make an athletic race
with plenty OF brain, bone, and muscle.
The scotchmau's average daily ration Is q

much nearer wheat ilourin nutritive value,
