A gloom of sorrow was cast over
our entire community over the death

his home at Braxton on January 2Sth.
In his death we lose one of our best
citizens--a man whose place will be
hard to fill, and whose influence for
good will live on for ages
His funeral was held at Braxton
Monday morning, conducted by Rev
Wayne Sutton; no larger crowd ever
assembled in church to hear the
beautiful words spoken in his men,
DRY. After the services at church the
Masons, of which fraternity he was
one of the oldest members in that
section, took charge of his remains
and officiated at cemetery.
Flowers sent in his memory were
many and beautiful.
Mr. Mangum was in his 6Sth year,
having united in marriage to Miss
Minnie Martin in the year 1868, and
the result of'this union is six child
rem; Wiley. Belle, John, Robert,
Emma and Gussie all of whom with
their mother survive him
He was member Of the Baptist
church at Cato, having professed
Christ in his youth He lived the
life of christian and died thoroughly
satisfied as to his future destination
He gave four years Of his life to the
confederate cause, being member of
the 9Th regiment. After the war he
began life with rrl ically nothing of

had accumulated considerable proper

The thing for the government to do
is to eliminate entirely this reckless

the original purpose of the bill author

This purpose was that the government
should procure and distribute new va

the people in this country. 1t was in
tended that the new varieties should
be disseminated throughout as wide a

Apples in White River Valley.

The new editor of the White River
Journal, published at Kent, few
miles south of Seattle), is interested
in the development of his section and
proposes to speak right out when he
sees anything that might help the COM
munity. 1t is just such boosting as
his that helps to build up any COM
munity and other editors throughout
the state would do we'll to fall in line
and work harder for their respective
sections. The Journal contained the
following editorial in recent issue:
ct may be that good apples can not
be successfully grown in the White
River Valley, but we do not believe
it. 1t requires intelligent and proper
cultivation, no doubt, but this much
is required anywhere. We had apples
brought to us last week which were
raised within the limits of Kent that
could not be excelled for coloring, nor
for flavor. They were of the Northern
Spy variety and no better apple, is
grown anywhere. No doubt the color
ing of the apple has something to do
with it's sale and that color must be
cultivated and only those varieties
must be grown which require less
sunshine than is to be had in more
sunny climates. 1t may be that on in
vestigatiOn the coloring is not a mat
ter of sun so much as a matter of SOIL
Experiments must be made until the
right varieties are found. This may
