Woman to Conduct Large Estate.

Mrs. Jennie l.. Doane OF Brockton,
Mass, has been appointed to admins
ter the half million dollar estate of the
late r. N. Packard and also to have
complete control of his large shoe fac
tory. Mr.. Packard died suddenly
without making a will. His heirs were
a brother and two sisters. none Of
whom knew anything about his bust
ness. Mrs Doane had been in the
employ of Mr.. Packard for a number
of years and he had often spoken of
her ability to his relatives. declaring
that she had more brains than any
two men of his acquaintance. For
that reason his heirs asked to have
her appointed and put in full charge
OF his business.

So the two together return to the

Most farmers are learning that it
doesn't pay to buy planting cotton

run out, as they will in few years.

Seed every year and plant them, and
in a few years you can develop as
