The immense Belleview planta-
ton, OF Messrs. Underwood, Short
& Reeves. closed for the season
last Wednesday with about four
and-a-half million pounds OF
sugar to its credit. We have not
learned what amount was made last
year, but it is safe to say that this
seasons crop is nearly double
that of 1903.
Mr. Birg's "Katie" finished the
grinding season the latter part of
last week, making about SO per
cent. more sugar than last year.
MIR. H. C. Rose finished last
Wednesday, with a full crop.
coming up to expectations. Oak
Bluff has about twice the amount
of sugar as that manufactured last
season.
Oak Lawn, like many Of the
plantations in the Bayou Sale
section, will not finish the season
until the latter part of January.
We learn, however, that one of
the largest crops in many years
will be ground on that place this
season.
The crop is so large in the lower
part of st. Mary that some of the
planters will not finish for several
weeks. The Ellerslie and South
Bend plantations of Mr.. John K.
Todd will be busy grinding until
about January IS.
North Bend; the Swenson prop
erty, will be grinding until about
January 20, when one of the larg-
est crops in the history Of that
place will be harvested.
Shady Side has several weeks
before it in which to harvest the
enormous crop. This being one
of the largest places on the banks
of the Teche, it will, of course, be
employed longer in the grinding
of it's cane than others smaller in
acreage.

Henderson Benjamin Morris.

More than three score years ago.
from Maryland to Louisiana came DR..
Gordy and family, with them came a
young man, Benjamin Morris, and a
young woman, Hannah H Downing.
The party came by steamer, landing
at the town of Franklin, La. sometime
during the year 1887. About two
years after their arrival, on January
10, 1899, Benjamin Morris and Hannah
II. Downing were married. To them
were born six children, John Wesley,
Lavinia Ellen, Henry. Louise Amanda,
James Thomas and Henderson Benja
min the subject of this sketch, born on
August II, l84S.
On January Is. 1876, Henderson
Ben amin Morris and Fannie Louise
Gordy, daughter of M. T. Gordy, ST.,
were married, and this marriage was
blessed with five children, Minos Ben
jamin, John Downing, Marvin, Mn
ME and Stanley Young, two of these
are living, John Downing and Mar
vim. On October %, 1881, death en-
tered the home and Fannie Louise
Morris wife and mother. sweetly ''fell
to sleep"
On October 30, 1883. Henderson Ben
jamin Morris was again married to
Corinne Clarice Cornay. This union
was blessed with four children, Earl
Michael, William Joseph. Corinne
Lucille and Stella Gertrude. The two
| last named with their mother live to
mourn with us their loss.
He died December 16 1904. The
manner of his taking away is known

here.
Under the influence and training of
his christian mother he grew to man.
hood and early in life gave his life to
God and his labOrs to the cause of
Christ in the Methodist Church having
long been an official member thereof
filling with faithfulness and fidelity
the post of Trustee and Steward.
What a poor expression the above
historical summation is of the life of
the man upon whose grave We would
place a flower in the form of an hum
| BILE tribute to his memory.
In fact it is no tribute at all and the
| writer is never SO painfully conscious
of the paucity of that thing we call
| language as when essaying a task like
| this. The verdict of the community
| in which he lived and died-the testi
mOny of all. and especially of those
who knew him best is she was a good
man."
Henderson Benjamin Morris was a
good, true, noble man. Not the no.
! bility thatcan be expressed by the dol
lar mark. or heralded in blast Of
trumpets on the battle field, or pro-
claimed from the dizzy heights of
worldly fame. but the sweet. pure,
true nobility that blesses and sanctl
fies what some are pleased to term the
''humble walks of life
After all words cannot express the
influence and power of a good man ;
life. Death cannot end it. Eternity
alone can measure it. He has gone to
his reward His death is our loss.
His life is our heritage.

JADE AS MEDICINE.
Used as Remedy for Many Complaints
by Chinese Physicians.

Everything in China of any rar-
ity is quite certain to be dragged
into the pharmacopoeia of the
Chinese physician. Jade is one ex.
ception to the rule, says Prof. Her
bert \. Giles, in the Nineteenth
Century. 1t may be swallowed as
Il powder, or in little pieces the
size of hemp seed, for various
stomachic complaints; even peck
marks and sears may be obliteP-
ated by being daily rubbed with a
piece of pure jade. 1t is also con-
sidered TO be of Il very moist ma
ture, and we read of an imperial
favorite of the eighth century who
was cured of excessive thirst by
holding a fish shaped jade in her
mouth. And so when the tomb of
the great commander, rs 40 rs 40,
third century, y. d., was opened
200 years after his death, among
the usual objects found in such cir
cumstances was large silver
bowl full of water. That the wa
ter had not dried up was account
ed for by the presence in the bowl
of a jade boy three feet in height.
Jade is chiefly brought from the
Kun-lun, or koulgun, range, be-
tween the Desert of Cobb and Thi,
bet; from khoten or Ilchi in Var
