This estimable and very aged lady
died at her home in Summers county,
W. Va, on Saturday last, the 10th
inst. having suffered stroke of par
alysis about 10 days previously. She
was in her S7th year, and up to the
time she was stricken with blindness,
which occurred about FIVE years ago,
she was in vigorous health, and
showed no signs of that natural de-
creptitude that belongs to old age.
Mrs. Lees maiden name was Cath
crime Ellis, and was born and was
reared in Monroe county. She was
twice married, and is survived by
her last husband and large circle of
kin. She was not member of any
church, but was woman of pure
life and full of good works. She
was buried in the new cemetery at
Anderson on the lath inst. in the
afternoon.-Alderson Advertiser.
The death of Mrs. Lee gives
possession to J. B. Tippett and P.
H. Steenbergen of the farm they
recently bought on Greenbriar River

simply matter of the quantity Of
plant food, but how to get at and
utilize the plant food already in the

The State this year produced only L.

food that has been dissolved in wa

the plant food available, and the
question Is how? Among the most
active agents for this purpose are the
oxygen and carbonic acid in the air.
Moisture is, also, of prime impor-
