stretched from nails driven into the wood, and

having been completed. the cement is made
moist possible, and then built out into the
original outline of the tree. The bark which has
vent bruising while the work is in progress will
eventually cover the filled in wound, the tree
thus regaining its normal appearance.
In the case of exceptionally large cavities the
opening is covered by large strips of zinc. The
cement is then forced down into every crevlce
and allowed to set after which the zinc is re-
moved and coat of fine finishing cement put
on and painted the color of the bark. By this
method the tree surgeon is enabled to build out
trees where fully half the wood may have been
destroyed by lightning or from some other cause

how quickly these wounds will heal when pro-
tected from moisture and further decay by the

AS has been said the author and his wife had
become settled in their new home. All the car
pets had been buttoned down to the cement
Aoors They had become accustomed to the idea
of taking baths in water heated by steam COILS
They handled the electrical apparatus for the
coffee and toast if they had been accustomed
to using it all their lives. This had been recog-
nized as an especially valuable feature OF the
house furnishings, for it made it unnecessary TO
disturb the cook until we'll along toward noon

down before his typewriter and his hngers ran
over the keys as he sought for the lost chord.
It was this authors habit when he could think
OF nothing to say, no good beginning, to let his
ubconsciousness, like the celebrated twins
do his work for him. In this way he would get
into the mood Then he would go over his work
and nick out the choice gems which lie would
connect into what might be termed a rope Of
Jewels Thus were his best sellers originated
1t was the method he was pursuing on this
morning when no great thoughts smote his
mind.

subconsciousness Hardly had his eye fallen
upon the paper than a frown swept down over
his countenance a great, black bellied wind

the first sentence was this: Soft blue smoke

The remains of Mrs. viii l.. Sar-
gent, daughter of Mrs. M. l.. Kennon
of near town, whose death occurred
in Terrell, Texas, on Wednesday of
last week, reached Scooba Friday
afternoon, accompanied by the grief
stricken husband and Oldest daugh-
ter, Miss Mary. Interment was made
in the cemetery south of town the
same evening.
Mrs. Sargent had been a sufferer
for a number of years, having been
paralyAed in one of her limbs; she
was a Christian woman, and bore
her troubles with resignation. She
was the mother of tour children, all
of whom survive her. In addition
to her immediate family and aged
mother, she leaves two sisters-Mrs.
f. r. Redditt and Miss Pearl Ken
non, and a large family connection.
70 all of these, in their sorrow and
loss, the sympathy of the commun-
ity is extended. r.
Mrs. Lizzie Thomas died very sud-
denly at her home about six miles
west of Scooba, last Monday morn
ing. This good lady had not been
complaining more than usual, and
arose and went about her house

breakfast. she was left in room
with her grandchild for probably
ten minutes, when her son, Mr.. Bill
Thomas, entered. He found his
mother crouched on the floor against
the wall, and on speaking to her
and receiving no reply, went over
and lifted her up and placed her on
the bed. t was then discovered
that she was dead.
! Deceased was the widow of Mr..
Doc" Thomas, whose death oc-
!curred about seven years ago; the
/ couple had but one child, a son. She
was n sister of Mr.. Ode Pool, of the

large family connection.
| The sympathy of all is rendered
her relatives and friends in their
bereavement.

of our good friends Mr.. and Mrs. w.

ing, and the spirit Of their sweet lit
tie son, Willie Leon, was waited, on
angel wings, back to the God that
gave it. The child had been i'll but
