| trict, since the death of her husband
4 several years ago, with her boys, has
made abundance of farm products, cot
ton, corn, peas, etc., sells butter every
week in town, and last week made 15(
grllons of sorghum syrup. Besides the
land she owns, she has bought and
paid for another 40 acres of land. Mrs
Mamie Shaw sister-in-law, in the
same neighborhood, left widow, has
also proven fine manager, and with
her children and hired help, has made
more than enough to do her and family
every year and some money by farms
ing. Able-bodied men who go about
saving they can't make anything farm
ing, ought to stand rebuked by the
worthy example of these two estima-
BILE and industrious ladies'.
| Admiral Dewey's honors increase
The $4,000 mansion to be given him in
Washington is to be supplemented by
Boston, on his visit there, by gift OF
a 81 900 watch, and $4,000 spent in
welcoming him. The University OF
Vermont will make Dewey Doctor of
Laws. Dewey is expected to visit Ma
rietta about the first of November, and
Marietta will show him some of the
prettiest girls he ever laid his eyes on.
And If he doesn't have that $4,000
house built in Marietta and live here,
it will be source of regret to him all
of his days.
