Prof. Jacob Ward Rust died at his
home in this city Sunday morning,
June 8, after protracted illness. For
many weeks his once robust constitu-
ton and great vitality had been grad
ually failing from no well defined dis
ease and both his friends and himself
have fully realized for some time that
the end was near. Only few days
ago, by the exercise Of his great will
power, he mustered sufficient strength
to present diplomas to two young lady
ga luates in his room in the college,
where so many years Of his useful life
had been spent. Like true veteran
he di ID at his post and just as his
years business had been closed. In
the brief confines of a death notice a
proper tribute cannot be shown to the
memory of this distinguished educa-
tor and Christian gentleman, a good
portrait of whom appears above.
Born in Logan county, Ky, Feb.
IA, 1919, he worked on farm until
he was fifteen years of age. By his
own exertions he acquired an educa-
ion and adopted teaching as pro-
fession early in life. For fifty-three
years he followed this calling,in which
he achieved great distinction and
dying leaves behind him the record of
q life well spent. From 1854 to 1868
he was President of Bethel College,
For some years he
edited the Western Recorder, the Bap-
tist organ of the South. During
the last twenty or twenty-five
years he had been President Of the
Bethel Female College, of this city,
during which time he presented di-
plomas to more than one hundred
young lady graduates.
Prof Rust was o fluent and ready
speaker, a forcible writer and his fund
Of information was great. In his de-
he was shining light and
in the community useful citizen,
His funeral will be preached at IL
o'clock to-day by his old friend, DR..
A. D. Sears, at the Baptist church.
Interment in the city cemetery.

The Last Chance.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
weather was favorable, the time not
busy one and the days of registration
thoroughly understood, a large per
centage of the voters of the county
failed to register last week in many

No one can vote who is not properly

last chance unless you are sick or out

portance of doing so on the two re-

set from three to six acres per day in
good shape, much depending on the
skill Of the droppers, Boys and girls
from II to l6 years old usually make
the best droppers, as they arc quick
and learn easily, and the work is
neither heavy nor tiresome. II rc-
quires little time to get used to the
machine, but in few hours operators
of average intelligence will learn to
do good and reasonably rapid work,
and in few days very fast work.
The rows may be 30 inches apart
and as much more as desired, and the
machine may be adjusted to drop
water every 10, Is, % or 80 inches,
and ofcourse plant should bc set
every time water is dropped. The
machine makes small furrow in
which the water is dropped by the
machine and the plant set by the boy,
the plant being set in the water SO
that the roots are thoroughly wetted.
The furrow is closed and the earth
packed around the plants by the
packing plates, the row is thus left in
a gentle ridge, the slope being 3 to 4
inches wide ON each side of the plant,
the top of the ridge being about one
inch higher than the ground level.
The packing OF the earth is regulated
by spring on the packing plates, so
that the packing can be dcne hard or
soft to suit the field and the views of
the operator. The packing plates as
well as the plow adapt themselves to
the unevenness Of the surface by
means OF the springs, The plants
can be set deep or shallow, to suit the
operator.
This machine is rather expensive,
costing abolt'as much as mower.

Persons unacquainted with military af-
