Death of Charles Blakeley-SOme
Fine Crops on Intensive Plan.

Tugaloo, July 26.-Special: This
has been the most unpropitious year
for cultivating bottom land we ever
saw. Farmers who have upland
crops are done laying-by, and as a
general thing their crops are fine
We were invited by Thos. d. Marett,
who lives two or three miles south
of South Union, on the Fair Play
road, to go down and look at his
crop. We went, and we say that he
has the very best field of corn that
it has ever been our good fortune to
see. He has nine acres which will
twithout an accident average a
yield of a hundred bushels to the
acre. Mr.. Marett farms on the in
tensive plan. He has large field Of
cotton that is equally as good as his
corn. We believe it would pay all of
us poor farmers to visit Mr.. Marett
and get his plan or mode of farming
and then follow it.
There is quite an interesting meet
ing going on at South Union, con-
Quoted by the pastor, Rev. /. +. Nc
David. There was a large congrega-
ton in attendance yesterday and last
night. Much good is anticipated as
a result of the meeting. Mr.. McDavid
is strong, forceful speaker and i'm
presses his hearers much with the
doctrine of salvation.
Our community was shocked last
Thursday when we learned that
Charles Blakeley had died the night
before. He died of blood poison,
caused by an abscess on the bottom
OF his left foot. His death was un-
expected. Mr.. Blakeley was i'm his
49th year. He was born in Green
vile. He was the youngest son of
the late Col. Jas. r. Blakeley. He
leaves a wife and one son. Char
ley as he was familiarly called
was good man, liked and held in
high esteem by everybody who knew
him. He was exceedingly industri-
Gus. He was a deacon in the Retreat
Presbyterian church, and will be sad
ly missed in this community. The
sympathy of this community Is for
his bereaved wife and son and other
relatives. L.

Death of j. w. Miller.

New Hope, July 26.-Special:
John w. Miller, a highly respected
citizen, died at his home in the New
Hope section on July 13, 1909, in
the 44th year of his age. Mr.. Miller
was much admired for his honesty,
industry and truthfulness, and his
death brings sadness to many
hearts in this and other communi-
ties. His death did not come as a
surprise, as he had an operation per-
formed, and but little hopes were
entertained for his recovery. He
did not wait for this sad time to
make preparations for the change,
he having for many years lived a
consistent member and deacon of the
Baptist church. Before the end
came he talked and consoled his
loved ones by saying he was ready to
meet his Saviour and begged them to
be ready for reunion in that home
the Saviour has gone to prepare.
In 1882 Mr.. Miller was happily
married to Miss Narcissa Abbott. To
this union six children were born
four boys and two girls. His exam
pie will be an inspiration to lead
them to a higher life. His popular
ity was evidenced by the large
crowd that attended the funeral SER
vice, conducted by Rev. w. f.. Huff.
His remains were laid to rest in the
New Hope cemetery. The bereaved
ones have the sympathy of the entire
community in this sad trial and COM
mend them to the One who doeth all
things well. A Friend.

ing and c. \. Harding. The officers of

company removed the coal from five
acres of the investment company's
land: about $4,000 tons in all, valued al
