An HonOred Citizen Gone.

On Saturday morning last Mr..
James Neville BlakemOre passed to
the silent land, ut his home near
Farmdale, aged 81 years, s months
and days.
Franklin county never had more
honorable, upright and gentlemaniy
citizen. His integrity was OF the
strictest sort. He scOrned IA dis.

For about four years his health

After the death Of his father, he
became the strong staff upon whom
his mother leaned and never son
repaid loving trust with fonder
devotion and care.
To his brothers and sisters he was
the wise and safe counsellor and
watchful guardian.
In 1868 he was happily united in
marriage to Miss Mary Lillard,
daughter of Mr.. Ephram Lillard, of
Anderson coanty, and their uni' n
was a peculiarly happy one. Two
daughters were the result Of that
union - Mrs. Geo. c. Graddy, oil
Woodford county, and Miss Geneva,
who, together with his wife, are Left
to mourn the death Of fond al d
indulgent husband and father.
AS business man he was exact
and eminently successful. His wOld

BY patient application he hac
achieved a handsome competence
His farm was one of the best arc
most carefully looked after Of any
in the county.

is kept in the Windsor stables. Senior de
Toro bought the vehicle in Paris after the
deposition of Louis Philippe, and it has
been so kept that 1t looks as well to-day as
when a king was its owner. We had six
horses managed by three positions in
livery and outriderS, and thus drove for
mile after mile through wide avenues of
Lombardy poplars, by the two lakes which
supply the family with fish frightening the
ducks and swans which were there floating,
on to the rose garden, which contains more
than hundred varieties of roses, past
meadows upon which grazed great fiocks
of sheep and by many irrigated fields being
made ready for next years crops. Here
was forest of eucalyptus trees planted
for their lumber, there an orange grove,
the trees still bearing their yellow fruit,
and further on vineyard of well-kept
vines. The most of the fields We're sur
rounded by well made stone walls, and
every part of the estate seemed carefully
and economically managed. 1 noticed IN
one place a Chicago windmill, and Senior
de Toro told me he used American plows
and other American machinery. This estate
is to a large extent dairy farm. 1t has
about 1900 cattle and 800 mich cows. The
cows, l understand. produce something like
$1,000 worth of milk and 5000 worth of
butter year.
Upon the estate are 200 horses. although
all the farm work is done by oxen. which
are the only draught and farm animals OF
Chile. These are chiefly for breeding and
the uses of the family and guests. 1t is
necessary to have a very large number of
horses for family use for often parties of
fifteen or twenty go horseback riding at
the same time. and the Aguila estate is
managed more for the comfort of the fam
lily than for profit, although in a financial
way it is a very profitable farm.
How She Treats Her Friends.
Madame Emilia is fond of giving presents.
For instance she has one man busy all the
year round making baskets to be used in
sending presents to her friends and to be
given to guests with fruit when they leave.
She raises for sale 100000 oranges year.
but 5000 are always left on the trees for
the use of herself and her guests. All of
the mutton eaten on her estate is of her
own raising and the 500 sheep she keeps

are chiefly for herself and friends She
raises great quantities Of onions, squashes
and other vegetables to give away and
sends them TO the Santiago hospitals and
her friends by the OK cart load. 1 saw
piles of such vegetables stacked up for this
purpose back of the house. There was
enough to have fed a good-siZed American
town for a year. Mountains of pumpkins,
great piles of squashes, bags of walnuts
and carloads of corn all awaiting their
shipment as gifts. She delights in the old
ways of doing things, and the table is
chiefly supplied from the estate, the ice
cream being made by means of snow
brought from the mountains in bags on the
backs of her poems. 1t takes them several
days to make the journey and she could
import ice more cheaply by train from San
tiago, but she prefers the old way rather
than the new, and her estate is kept as
much as possible as 1t was in the days of
her girlhood. Each of her many grand
children has its own pony, and I saw lot
of the little boys and girls between the
place and holding their seats like men
and women. The meals on such an estate
are of course excellent. You get up when
you feel like it and have your coffee or tea
all of the household meet at breakfast.
This is what we would call a course din
ner. beginning with soup and ending with
coffee. Then at o'clock there is dinner
with perhaps a lunch or tea at 4 O'Clock
and supper late in the evening. The Chill
can families, as a rule, keep very late
hours, and there are usually some at
Aguila who stay up chatting till long after
midnight.

acres of land. mines of copper silver and

much exaggerated. Madame Cousino was
very rich. but there are to-day women in
Chile who are richer than she ever was.

Visit to n Great Hacienda.
Leaving Santiago on the train. We rode
under the snow walls of the Andes,
through hacienda after hacienda, by vast
vineyards of blood-red vines, by walled
fields filled with herds of cattle and sheep
until We came to the station OF the
'Aguila" estate. Here we were met by a
spanking team of bays and driven for a
mile or so on the estate before We came
to the house. This consisted of many long,
low one-story buildings, with roofs of red
tiles and wide porches fioored with brick
grove OF trees at least 100 feet high looked
down upon ii, and the long leaves of
great palm hundred years old rustled a
welcome as We stepped upon the porch.
There were, i judge, at least 100 large
rooms in the house, and all on the ground

show. which you see in all the Chilean city
homes, and We at once were made to feel
that we were in Liberty hail." and were
free TO go and come and do as we pleased;
There were about thirty children and
grandchildren of Madame de Toro visiting
her, as well as several other guests. We
were duly introduced, and later in the day
drove with Senior Santiago de Toro who
is the chief manager of the estate under
his mother, over the great farm in quite
royal style.
