1t becomes our sad duty to chronicle
the death of Mrs. Mary Hatcher, wife
of Mr.. y. II. Hatcher. Mrs. Hatcher
was q victim of consumption. She had
been afflicted with lung trouble for
the last few years Of her life she real
lied that her time here was almost
over. Her preparations for the life be,
yOnd were in nOwise hasty: She had
long been a devoted member OF the
Baptist Church. Last Friday morning,
when the All Wise called her to that
land beyond, she bid farewell to her
friends here below, and peacefully en-
tered the realm of the blest. She leaves
a husband and several children, togeth-
er with many friends, to mourn her de-
parturc. !.
Leila. the nine -year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. T.. Massey, was severe
IL burned last Friday morning. She
was starting fire in the stove, and
while applying the kerosene the whole
canful caught fire.
MI. Editor, the people have heard so
much about "less cotton aud more
wheatn until they are tired OF the
clause. / wonder how it would do to
tell them something about tobacco: A
great many of our people would plant
tobacco if they we're not afraid their
neighbors would laugh at them. How
ever,.we know some points In favor OF
tobacco and will tell them. If there are
any of our friends who would like to
try q few acres in tobacco nextyear, VIC
would suggest that they find rich,
loamy hollow in the woods, and cut
down all the growth within radius OF
twenty or thirty feet, pile the brush in
q row about twenty feet long, or as
long as you want it, and burn them,
after which prepare bed about four
feet wide and as long as you wish 1t.
You should find such a place near q
branch, so you could water them it oc-
casion required it. Sow the seed in
January and cover the bed with pine
tops. Next select and prepare your to-
bacco field. This should be land that
had been cultivated one or two years.
rs fresh, new ground is too fresh, and
old land is too apt to bake. Prepare as
for cotton, and set the plants about
twenty-four or thirty inches apart. Ii
there are any interested i'll the tobacco
culture we will give our experience Ill
setting out the plants, suckerlng, cut
ting, curing, etc. later on, if desired.
Lastyear we raised two hundred pounds
on less than an eighth OF an acre. This
would make about sixteen hundred
pounds to the acre. You could sell the
tobacco for about ten or fifteen cents a
pound, making your land yield you
from $3.50 to S225 per acre.
We arc surprised to learn that the
small pox, or something very much like
it, has broken out IN our midst. One
negro on Mr.. A. G.. MOOrhcad's place
and Daniel Grier, cOlored, near Span
box, arc down with the disease.
