Death of Gilbert N. Lochric.

Madison, March Especial: Died,
at Madison, March 1, 1909, Gilbert
N. Lochrie, son Of President John
Lochrie, Of the Chattooga Lumber
Company.
This death seems particularly sad,
as the deceased was a young man Of
bright promise, and was much liked
by all who knew him. His illness
was very brief, and his unexpected
death caused quite a shock to the
community.
Mr.. Lochrie was born in Colum-
bus, Ohio, February 7, 1890. Until
about two years ago he had made
his home with his parents at Johns
town, Penn. Since then he has been
engaged in business with the Chat
tooga Lumber Company. His body
was carried to Johnstown for inter-
ment on March in the family vault.
To all the bereaved ones, who
mourn his death, Is extended the
sympathy of their friends here and
elsewhere. G..

Washington, March 6.-Senator
Depew offered an amendment to the
constitution in the Senate to-day,
which, If passed, will change the
meeting of Congress and the inaugu-
ration ceremonies from March to
the last Wednesday In April. The
amendment provides that the sixty
second Congress shall terminate on
April 1S. Senator Lodge objected to
consideration Of the amendment on
the ground that 1t was general legis-
lation, and as the House was not In
session, therefore, no action could be
taken. 1t was referred to the com
mittee on privileges and elections.

Dear Reader: The most important
thing in buying fertilizers is to get
guano that you know is your
moneys worth and will meet your
expectations at crop gathering time.
You ask, How am to find this out Z?
The answer is not what some fellow
tells you that has not used it, but the
man that has used that brand of
guano, and tells you that he watched
1t when the cotton first came up, and
so on until IL was gathered, and that
1t gave the best results.
Now you ask us, What about the
Piedmont Guano? We simply refer
you to the farmers that used 1t last
year. If they tell you that 1t is not
a good guano and were not highly
pleased with 1t, DO NOT USE 1T.
We have this to say: Do business
at home. The best values are not to
be had fartherest away, but the near
est to YOU. Do not break the link
by sending your money away. We
handle everything in the Fertilizer
line. Come to see us or our agents
