some thought or solved a problem
that at first seemed difficult. Never
did teacher have better or more

For years she has been distin.

of the church and the promotion
of the temperance cause. She
was the very life of the temper

poor of the community have re.
ceived many benefits and blessings
at her hands. Pastors and their
families, while her health lasted
always found q helpful friend in
her. With much patience she
would plead with the wayward and
erring and endeavor to win them
over to the right way.
Her home life was charming.
While the husband may be called
the head of the family, the wife is
it's heart and soul. The emotions
and tender sentiments generally
cluster around tie mother. It was
peculiarly the case with Mrs. Blake.
Tender, considerate, gentle, Christ
like, she not only taught her chill
dren to walk uprightly, but she
continually walked that way her.

tage of pure life devoted to their
highest interests. We do not like
to lift the veil that shuts in the
sacred scenes of home life and es-
pecially the last words of those
who are ready to depart. Those
are blessed facts which will be-
come hallowed memories for the
loved ones. But we will quote a
few clear, positive statements she
made just before her departure.
She said to Mr.. Blake:
"While in life and health, I tried
to do my Fathers will, and now
he is sweetly witnessing to me that
I am his child"
"In view of death, I experience
no ecstacy, but I have peace and
Joy which is sweeter than life and
stronger than DEATH"

Father calls and I am ready to an

Spartanburg Spartan.

Spartanburg Spartan.
Mrs. Marina Gregg Blake, wife
of Mr.. William K. Blake, of this
city, quietly passed away, Tuesday,
September 25, 1894, which was
her birth day, and was buried the
day following in Oakwood ceme-
terry. Although the storm was Sc
we're on Wednesday afternoon, a
large number of friends assembled
at the church to pay merited hon.
ors to one who had blamelessly
walked with them in this COM
munity for thirty-four years. The
many kind inquiries during her
long illness, the regret that her
days of useful work had ceased,
the many beautiful flowers sent in
as last loving tribute, attested
how highly she was esteemed by
all, how dearly she was loved by
those who knew her we'll.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis Jones, of Edgefeld. 1t
was only short time ago that she
gently ministered to her father in
his last illness. Her mother sur
wives her. In education and co.
clety she had all the advantages
her native town and State could
give. To one of her vivacious na-
ture and attractive manners the
social world held out many allure
ments. When she reached tEat
period of life when she had to de-
eide between all the pleasures and
fascinations offered by society in
it's best conditions and an humble
and faithful service in the cause of
the Divine Savior, like Mary of
Bethany, she chose that better
part, which was never taken away
from her. Once her mind was
made up she carried all of her en-
thusiasm and energy into work for
the church. Never for single
hour did she seem to regret her
choice. With her it was a work OF
love; of rapturous Joy.
The writer first knew her as a
student N the Spartanburg Fe-
male College. Full of life and
activity she never showed the
slightest disrespect to teachers

SORGHUM SYRUP.

Home and Farm.
For upward of twenty years l
have made practice of raising a
suficiency of sorghum for home
consumption. I have raised it for
the syrup, of which | obtain 100 to
200 gallons per acre; for the seed,
of which I obtain quantatne s'D5c't
to keep our poultry up to the clay
ing point" the year around; and
for the forage, with which feed
my cattle during winter, or as long
as it lasts. I regard sorghum as
the most profitable crop that can
be raised OIL an ordinary farm.
Without being anyways egot'stical,
I think I have brought the matter
of sorghum-syrup making down to
O. "fne point" that I know just
exactly the chow" the "why" and
the "wherefore" of the whole
moaus operaudi,; hence have no
apology to offer for throwing out a
few hints to amateur syrup-mak-
ere.
My experience has been with
portable mills exclusively. | oc-
casionally come across one who
processes to be a syrup maker who
believes in "luck," and with whom
the making of really frst-class
article of syrup is mere chance
work, the exception rather than
the rule. AS there are 1895 meal
times in a year, at all Of which
syrup in soi2c form is quite a
"standard' article and takes it's
regular place, it is with feelings of
dissatisfaction, and oftentimes of
modification that a sorry, indif-
fcrent and decidedly inferior arti-
Gle takes the place of that which
might have been and should have
been strictly frst-class. There is
difference as to quality in Cd va
rieties of cane and (2) land Oh
which it is grown, black lands in
variably making dark syrup, while
mulatto clays, buckshot and
whitish or pipe-clay soils make all
article that is hard to beat in both
taste and appearance, fully equal
to the very best of refined syrup
and vastly superior to any of the
"glucose" syrups on the markstd

them badly soiled, and yet bestir
himself sufficiently to turn ont a
superfne article of syrup.
Never cut the cane until it is ripe,
which NAV be decided by the ripe
ness of the head and the color of
the cane; and let the period of
time that elapses between the
shipping, topping, cutting of the
cane and it's manufacture into
syrup be as short as possible.
Nsver permit the blades to be
frostbitten before they are stripped
off; but if Jack Frost should steal
upor you unawares, then strip the
blads off Immediately, before the
sun has had time to wilt them,
and Ill will be well. Frost-bitten
cane and the syrup made from it
is q little worse than none.
In the making of an absolutely
p.rfect article of syrup, a great
DIAL depends on the degree ofripe-
ress of the cane, the kind Of land
o. which it is grown, variety of
cine, time it is allowed to stay on
tie evaporation, the fireman, and
