Death Of Mrs. J. E. Tull.

On Sunday morning last, Feb. 2,
there occurred the death of Mrs. J.
E. Tull, after a brief but severe
attack of pneumonia. The news
caused a shock to her many friends
as it was hoped that she would
rally, but in this there was disap-
pointment. In spite of all that
professional skill and care could
do it was not possible to prolong
this mothers life, and the death
messenger entered the home of our
honored townsman, J. f. Tull.
Mrs. Tull was a native of Mary
land, having been born in Calvert
County, June 5, 1875. At a very
early age she was bcreft of both
parents and thus experienced that
sad trial of being an orphan in Il
great lone world. At the age of
eleven years she experienced re-
ligion and the helpfulness of the
Christian faith sustained her
throughout her life, even unto the
end. She became a member of
the Baptist church and identified
herself with the interests of this
1eople. During her brief sickness
she gave thought to the things at
tendant upon her decease and Sc
lected the hymns, Rock of Ages, !"
Jesus, Lover of My Soul" and
"Shall we Gather at the River, :"
which were sung at the funeral SER
vice. On Monday afternoon, after
brief prayer service at the home,
the body was carried to the Meth
odist church where the public SER
vices were conducted by Rev. John
Chandler, assisted by Rev. J. F.
Smith and Rev. J. H. Wood. Rev.
Chandler took for his text the
words of James what is Your
Life?" At the close of this service
the tody was laid to await the
great resurrection morn in the Ken
newick cemetery. The Rebekahs
and Odd Fellows provided the
bearers and at the grave observed
their impressive services. Mrs.
Tull leaves to mourn her departure
husband, J. f. Tull, and three
little daughters, .Juanita, Edna and
Baby.
Beautiful in life, beautiful in
death, but far more beautiful III
the glorious resurrection morn.
Flowers seem to be the best en-
blem we have to express. our love-
and we wreathed them around her.
Thus would we leave her, and In
memory keep her, as sweetly re-
posing among the beautiful and
fragrant flowers.
Fare thee well, oh thou to MEM
DRY dear!
Dust to dust, and lulled to SUM
bers sweet;
Sleep on, forever, in the prison
drear-
But in realms on high shall our
! spirits meet. "

TOMATOES.

The following are the directions
for preparing beds for the tomato
seed, sowing and covering seed,
care of beds and plants, prepare
ton of soil, fertilizing, kind used,
how applied, amount per acre and
cultivation of crop:
About the FIRST of March pre-
pare bed 6 feet wide and IL feet
long, thoroughly pulverizing soil
and mixing a small amount of fer
tilizer with soil. Procure 2ounces
of tomato seed and SOW on the bed.
Cover seed by raking lightly over
bed. This will grow sufficient
plants for two acres. A canvass
should be placed over bed about 2
feet high. When plants are 10 to
Is inches high set in field. Set
plants deep, land having been we'll
prepared by deep blowing and
narrowing.
Set plants about'4 feet each way,
check with shovel pillow. Be sure
and fertilize any kind of soil, using
about 200 pounds vegetablefertil-
izer on each acre. Let fertilizer
spread in check as it falls from
your hand. About three ticks
with hoe is sufficient to hill.
Cultivate with double shovel as
you would to grow good corn.
Your plants will do better by Civ
ing them good hoeing. When
vines fruit and turn down don't
pillow any more. Don'tplant where
land overfows. Stalking not nee
essary for factory use.
Say $500 plants per acre, each
plant growing one-half peck or u
pounds; this will make 1921 bush
cts which will net $78.12a. In a
number of instances over a peck
has been produced to the hall or
625 bushels per acre, netting the
grower $156 Is.
Try tomato growing this year,
and secure ready money at time
when it is most needed.

AS result of a head-on collis-
ion at Eva Sunday morning the
locomotives of extra No. 10 and
regular freight No. 10vsnd about
six loaded cars were considerably
damaged. No one was hurt ex-
cept Engineer Jim Gibbons of No.
10, who sustained a sprained ankle
and other bruises in jumping from
his engine. A misinterpretation
of orders is said to have been re-
sponsible for the wreck, which did
not interfere with traffic, as the
siding at Eva was unobstructed
and used by passing trains. The
wrecking crew went down to Eva
Sunday morning.

CONDITION SERIOUS.

William w. Melton, who was
struck on the head by Tom Nc
Daniel with an iron poker, was
resting some easier yesterday, but
his condition is still considered
dangerous by the family.
The alteration between Melton
and Mcdaniel occurred in Jesse
T. Halls grocery late Saturday
evening. AT first Melton did not
think his injuries were serious,
but Sunday morning lie complain
ed of his injuries, and an examina-
ton of his wound showed that the
skull was badly fractured.
He was in great agony until DR..
Paul Eve of Nashville, who was
summoned here Monday evening,
removed a large part of the frac-
tured skull and took out a quantity
of elotted blood which had formed
on the brain.
Tom Mcdaniel was arrested on
Tennessee River Monday and gave
bond for his appearance for trial
this afternoon.

Perhaps the most destructive
railway wreck in Benton County
occurred here Sunday morning
about6o'clock between two freight
trains, resulting in damage to
the railroad company of SIS, 900 to
$25, 900. The east-bound train was
running as an extra and had orders
to pass the west-bound train at the
siding, but it seem the engineer of
the latter train misread his orders
and kept the main track, with the
above result. Both train crews
jumped when they saw that Il col
lision was unavoidable, but no one
was seriously hurt.

The Sun From ! Balloon.

At the height Of two miles the sun
shines with fierce intensity unknown
below. where the dust and the denser
air scatter the rays. which. thus diff
fused. lose their intensity while illu-
mining every nook and corner of our
houses. At heights exceeding five miles
this d1Hused light is mostly gone. and
the sun shines glowing ball. sharply
outlined in sky of which the blue is
so dark as to approach blackness. At
the outer limits Of the atmosphere the
sun would appear a brilliant star of
massive size among other stars, and If
one stepped from its burning rays into
shadow he would enter Egyptian dark
ness. At the height of a mile and a
half we found it necessary to shelter
our faces to prevent sunburn, although
the air around US was but little warm
er than that of the previous night, be-
ing about 10 degrees. AS the afternoon
wore on and the balloon began to cool
and sink we were obliged to throw out
much sand. casting it away scoopful
at time. and just after sunset it was
even necessary to empty two or three
bags at once.-H. 81. Clayton in Allan

One of the ladies in waiting to the
late Queen Victoria had very bright
little daughter about four years old
and of whom the queen was very fond.
The queen invited the child to have
lunch with her. OF course the mother
was highly pleased and charged the lit
tie girl to be very careful about her
table manners and to be very polite to
the queen.
The little girl came home in high
glee, and the mother asked her all
about the luncheon. Were you a very
polite little girl? And did you remem-
Der to do all l told you at the table?''
asked the proud mamma.
ooh. yes; was polite said the little
girl. "but the queen wasn't"
