oeath Of Mrs. James a. WnIey.

Mrs. Sarah L. Cobb, wife of james A.
Wiley, died Friday morning at her
home, 81 Pendleton avenue, Springfield,
Mass, after a brief illness with pneu-
monia.
She was born in Randolph, Feb. IA,
1888, the daughter OF Samuel and Silvia
king Cobb, and was a descendant of
Revolutionary ancestors. Her father car
ried on the farm OF the late Judge Wes-
ton which extended over much Of this viii
lage and the farm house which he occu-
pied had its location where the Baptist
church now stands.
Her early life was spent in her native
town, where she was a valued teacher in
the old West Randolph academy. Later
she taught in other towns OF the state,
including Rutland. For several years she
was the leading soprano OF the Christian
church, with which she united and never
transferred her membership to any Of the
churches OF her future home, although
her sympathies were with the Olivet
church of Springfield.
In 1863 she married Mr. Wiley and
went with him to Springfield in 1865.
There they had lived ever since. In her
immediate family che left only her hus-
band and one daughter, Miss Laura s.
Wiley, who visited her mothers birth
place last summer.
The funeral service was held in Spring
field Sunday afternoon at $3.50.

Death Of Mrs. Ne y 3. 0rury.

Death of Mrs. May g. 0rury.
Death renewed one OF the oldest resi-
dents OF Randolph Saturday afternoon
when Mrs. Mary fBass) Flint Drury
passed away in the saith wear OF her age
Through the winter she had been grow
ing weaker under the increasing burden
Of her years and the gradual waning o.
the vital forces, due to a general decline
which, however, did not confine her t.
the bed until fortnight before the emo
came.
Mrs. Drury was born in Braintree, Jan,
"a. 1927, the daughter OF Seth and Mary
(Whiting) Bass. For her first husband

accident at Lawrence, Mass, Sept. 2,
1856.
Her second husband was Charles L.
Drury OF Hanover, N. g., who after their
marriage lived in Braintree and Randolph
until his death some 20 years ago. In
1885 they moved from Braintree 10 this
village to carry on the farm which the
son, Hale L. Flint, then in Chicago, had
bought on Park street bill aud which
continued to be the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Drury as long az they lived.
About four years ago Mr.. Flint as
sumed active management of bis farm, to
which he brought his family, relieving
his mother OF further care and giving her
the comfort Of companionship in her last
days.
Mrs. Drury was a woman Of unusual
ability and strength OF character. She
was distinguished by keenness of intel
lect that time could not dull and was re-
tanned unimpaired as long as life was
spared.
The funeral service, which was attend
ed by many old friends, was held at the
house Monday afternoon at 2 O'Clock,
Rev. Fraser Metzger OF Bethany church
officiating. Interment was in the Brain
tree Hill cemetery, and the bearers were
W. W. Morton, j. H. Lamson, Clarence
Webster and Frank Jewett. There were
present from out OF town two grand
daughters of the deceased, Misses Mary
and Ida Flint Of Boston.

HERE'S A CHANCE To
PLANT ELM TREES
Unusual Opportunity Afford
ed Property Owners Near
University.
200 TO BE GIVEN AWAY
Must be Set Out at Intervals
of 40 Feet Bordering
Nj. U. Grounds.
200 TO BE GIVEN AWAY

Owners of property bordering the
grounds of the University of Missouri
have an unusual opportunity to i'm
prove their property by planting beau
tiful elm trees, which will be given
to them for the cost of removal. Hor-
ace F. Major, superintendent Of the
University grounds has made this
offer through the Civic Improvement
Committee of Columbia. The offer
was made in this way in order 10
reach property owners who would be
most interested in the work. In this
way, also, uniform street tree plant
ing is assured.
These trees, of which there are more
than 200, are of uniform size and will
be given to the property owners for
the cost of removal, which is about
thirty cents each. The trees will be
guaranteed for one year. They must
be planted at intervals of 40 feet along
the streets bordering University prop
erty. They will be ready for removal
on October 10.
The Civic Improvement Committee
thinks that the offer is a liberal one
and that Columbia may be much i'm
proved by the property owners TAX
ing advantage of the offer. Applica-
ton for the trees should be made at
once to Horace F. Major, superintend-
ent of the University grounds.

Scientific Agriculture

of atmospheric fertility can be tapped
for the benefit of the soil. This work
not being a systematic treatise on
agricultural chemistry, we will allow
ourselves considerable freedom Of
expression. In other words, we will
strive to make this treatise a sort of
a heart to heart talk, with out fell
low practical farmers. The bright
day Of cooperation is dawning. The
day of individualism, and it's result
ant selhshness, is fast waning. We
will avoid, as much as possible, and
only then as a working basis for
practical knowledge. AS we proceed
in Our work we will find beautiful
adaptation in organic life, Of supply
to meet demand.
The carnivora feed on vegetable
feeding animals. These in their turn
feed on vegetables. Vegetables, more
abundant in nature than all other or
ganic substances. find their nutritive
material in organic substances. Hence
one great end Of vegetable life is to
generate material adapted for the nu-
triton of animals out Of inorganic
substances which are not fitted for
this purpose. Hence the full import
Of this work will be to elucidate the
different processes engaged in the
nutrition Of vegetables
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-05-01
Carbon.

Carbon is an elementary substance,
endowed with a considerable range
Of affinity. 1t is the most abundant
of the four principal elements con-
stltutlng organic structures. With
oxygen it unites in two proportions,
forming the gaseous compounds
known under the names of carbon di-
oxide Cor carbonic acid) and carbon
oxide. The former is emitted in i'm
mense quantities from volcanoes and
mineral springs, and is also a pro-
duct of the decay Of vegetable and
animal substances.
1t is subject to decomposition by
various agencies, and it's elements
then arrange themselves in new COM
blnatlons. We will have much to
say on this subject further on.
