Among the latter will be Senator

friends who had gathered to look for
the last time on the face of the dead.
1t is difficult to realize that she has left

blossoms. 1t seems but such a short

raj a member of Emmanuel Choir and
those who were wont to sing with her
will ever remember the lovely voice
that rang out with such strength and
beauty. But it is sweet to think that
though the gift is lost to us it is now
joined with the great choir around the
throne, and to know that TO the one
lovely in life God has added new and
greater beauty and clothed in white
robes in glory.
Though to us the beautiful voice is hushed
And on earth we shall not meet again
And our tears fall fast as we gaze on her form
With hearts filled with sadness and pain.
IT'S Joined with the voices Of angels now
And, Oh, that the wings of love
Might wait but one note of the glorious strains
From the beautiful home above,
Down to the Borrowing ones below
To cheer US amid the gloom
That surround us here as we think Of our loss
Praying that we may join her soon.
We lay her away meath the soft green earth
And the sorrow darkening our lives
Seems to hide from our view the joy we shall
When we meet beyond the skies. know
For in that bright home we know We shall meet
With joy we shall clasp her hands,
With songs on our lips we shall greet her there
Amid the heavenly bands.
There we'll join and sing the hymns Of praise
As together we sung long ago,
While our glad hearts thrill with the rapture
sweet
God has promised in his word to bestow.
Farewell, loved one. We shall miss thee oft,
But thy memory sweet lessons will tell.
May our lives be as pure till at last we meet,
Until then, Dear Mary, Farewell" NJ.

CORN PLANTING.

This is corn planting time with the
farmers in this region. Three grains
are now put in the hill at the cross
marks usually four feet two inches
apart, and covered by a horse drawing
a coverer, which consists Of two flat
%scrapers, one on each side of a frame
like a c~ultivator, and a roller before and
after the scraper to mash the clOds and
soil on the corn. 1t use to be customary
to cover all corr with a hoe and the
farmers needed extra men and boys ut
planting time but the horse with a COW
erer, which has come into use within
the past twenty years, saves much labor
and expense.
The old custom use to be to put four
grains in the hill.
One for the black bird
One for the crow
One for the cut worm
And m to grow.
If all four came up n was pulled
out at suckering time. In some Sec
tions along the coast the old custom of
putting a herring in the hill when plant
ing the corr still prevails. The formu.
la for corn planting is the SAM as the
one the first settlers found the Indians
using four grains of coru and a herring
to a hill. The fish make excellent fer.
t%ilizer, and the custom was at once
adopted from the Indians, and has been
used for two centuries by their white
successors. 1t is surprising to see the
corn that will grow in apparently bar
rem sand when fortified in this manner.

Delaware. AT the Republican primar-

delegates. The Higgins faction had
50 and there were II contested seats
from Wilmington where more men
voted than there were Republican vot-

than there were names of men who
voted. Addicks controlled the State
convention at Dover ON Tuesday, and
elected a full Addicks delegation to the
st. Louis convention and took charge

The Higgins Delegates withdrew, elect
ed a full delegation to the st. Louis

battle will continue until election to

One Of the reasons why our Govern
ment does not recognize the Cubans by
giving them b%elligerent rights is this.
There are several wealthy citizens of
this country who own large sugar plan
tations in Cuba. AS long as our Gov
eminent does not grant b~elligerent
rights the Spanish government can be
held responsible to pay all damages
done to American interests, either by
the Spaniards or Cubans. When bel
ligerent rights are granted ard war re-
cognized American interests must take
the consequences of war. 1t is money
