II hccomr> our sad duty to chronicle
the death OF Mrs. Mary Hatcher, wife
of Mr. -. II. Hatcher. Mrs. Hatcher
; was victim of consumption. She had
! been afflicted with lung trouble for
more than seventeen years. and during
! the last few years Of her life she real
izcd that her time here WAS almost
over. Her preparations for the life be
yond were in nOwiSr ha,ty. She had
long been Il devoted member of the

when he All Wise called her 10 that

Ml. Editor ne people have heard 30
much about less cotton and more
wheat until they are tired of the
clause. wonder how it would do to
tell them something about tobacco. 4
great many of our people would plant
tolHcco if they were not afraid their
ncighbOrs would laugh at them. How
cvrr..wr know some points in favor of
tobacco and will tell them. If there are
any of our friends who would like to
try Il few acres in tobacco next year, We
would suggest that they find rich,
loany hollow in the woods, and cut
down ali the growth within n radius of
twenty or thirty feet, pile the brush in
Il row about twenty feet long, or as
long rs You want it. and burn them,
after which prepare Il bed about -four
feet wide and as long a> you wish it.
You should find such Il place near Il
branch. so you could water them il Oc-
ca,ion required it. Sow the seed in
January and cover the bed with pine
tops. Next select and prepare your to-
bacro field. This should be land that
had been cultivated Onr'nr two years.
~ fresh. nrw ground is too fresh, and
old land is too apt To bake. Prepare as
Tor cotton. and sci the plants about
twenty ionr nr thirty inches apart. II
there :ilt. any interested in the tobacco
culture we will give Omr experience in
setting ont he plants. sIckcring. cut

would make about sixteen hundred
pounds 10 the acre. You could sell The
tobacco for about ten or fifteen cents 81

from $1GU to S225 per acre.
