Death of a Brave Confederate.

The report reached us Tuesday of
the death of Demetrius c. Coode.
Mr.. Coode died at the residence of
his son, John Coode, 1910 ". High
Street, Nashville, Tennessee, Satur-
day, March II, 1904, after receiving
the last Sacraments of his church.
His remains were buried at Sacred
Heart, this county, Tuesday, the 18th,
instant, with Requiem Massa at which
many relatives and friends were pre-
sent. In many respects Met" Coode
was remarkable man. He was gift
ed with an alert mind and sound
Judgment and was truly a man with.
out fear. He was alineal descendant
of John Coode, famous in our Colo
NAL history. In 1861, in company
Gosh Costigih, Daniel Shanks,
Elijah Russell and others, Mr.. Coode
crossed the Potomac and Joined the
Confederate army, serving under
George H. Stewart. Bradley T. John.
son, John Pelham, Jim Breathed
and at the end of the war was 3
member of Mosby s command. II is
safe TO say that there was no more
fearless soldier in the Confederate
armies than Met Coode. His old
comrades will recall many OF his
deeds of daring and all will regret
20 hear-of his death. May he rest il
peace

Oysters Aenemic For Lack of Air.

Many captains Of incoming oyster
vessels bring reports Of the weak
ening of oysters on the Chesapeake
Bay bars b. the protracied cold
spell of the past winter. The same
conditions exist on the oyster beds
of the rivers, the only difference be-
ing that oysters in deep water were
more seriously affected by the win
ter ice conditions than those in shall
low water. An old down-the-bay
oyster runner said recently:
No one familiar with oysters will
doubt that they are weakened by be-
ing covered by ice for any great
lc1E h of thine. In about two weeks
they recover aud are vigorous and
strong again. Are they injured to
the extent of not being as palatable
as food -? Not at all, but they will
not keep so long after being taken
from the water. The only reason
that Lave ever heard given foi hrs
weakening is that me ice cut off the
oyster s supply of air. 20 Is fact,
| lm told, that in tie Nor.n. VIII, re
oyster planting is largely engage ii
in, air holes are cut in tue ice over
the oyster beds as regularly as the
horses and cows are fed or watered.
| have never heard il claimed that
fish were similarly affected by being
covered by ice. Oysters are not ou-
ly more susceptible to cold in deep
water, but it is fact the deep water
oyster is more delicate than its
brother in shallow water. The shell
is thinner and not so hard Bali
more Herald.

HOW BUY YOUR GROCERIES
 THIS FALL?
CASH OR CREDIT.

Is not the pay-as-you-go plan the best? Many think 1t is best, because
 1. When you pay cash you are sure to buy at the lowest market price.
 2. When you pay cash you realize how much you are spending, so live within your means.
 3. When you pay cash you never overbuy.
 4. When you pay cash you buy at a cash store Gf you are wise), where there is only one price, and where rich and poor are treated alike.
 5. When you pay cash at a cash store there are no bad ac- counts to consider, but prices are made on a cash basis, so you are sure to save money.
 0. When you pay CASH loI a few months you will not will lingly go back to the old style credit plan; not if you are like a majority of buyers.
 All this being true, won't you decide to begin this fall to buy of us for cash? Your money back always if you want it.
 It Pays to Pay Cash: A. B 0 W l E
