Boil Weevil a Blessing,

Mr.. J. w. Lyon, of Shreveport,
La, is visiting his uncle, Mr.. M.
D. Lyon. 1t is exceedingly interest
ing to converse with Mr.. Lyon upon
the agricultural conditions of his
section. He reports all crops, not
only in his state but in Alabama
and southwest Georgia through
which he passed, as being unusually
fine. Mr. Lyon says new cotton was
being marketed before he left home
two weeks ago, picking actually
commencing a month ago. The early
maturity is due to an exceptionally
early variety that is now very gen.
orally planted in order to combat
the boil weevil. Mr.. Lyon says the
weevil has proven a blessing in dis
guise in that it forced farmers of
the weevil-infested region to aban-
don al, cotton and diversity their
crops. Instead of buying meat, corn
and potatoes from the northwest,
farmers who previously suffered
from the weevil are now shipping
corn, hogs and beef cattle in large
quantities. For two or three years
after the weevil first appeared the
cotton acreage was reduced, but
since it was learned by actual ex,
pertinent that very early variety
would mature before the ravages o.
the weevils began, the planting hal
increased to the former or origina
acreage.

Death of DR.. Jones.

That the familiar face and form
of DR.. w. Luther Jones will not be
seen again on our streets can scarce
ly be realized. So sudden was the
blow to his friends that his death
Saturday morning, when but a few
hours before he was apparently IN
the full enjoyment of health, seems
almost as a dream instead of re-
ality. Yet it is true. Luther, as his
closest and warmest friends delight
ed to call him, has been cut OFT In
the prime of life and in the zenith
of successful professional and
business career.
DR.. Jones was thoroughly in love
with his work and achieved marked
success in his profession. Being
we'll equipped by three years
course .in University of Iowa, fol-
lowed by a course in the leading
veterinary college Of Ontario, Cana
da, he had no trouble in establishing
himself among the people who had
known him from infancy. He also
possessed excellent Judgment as a
business man which is attested by
the careful and prudent manage
ment of his business interests.
While DR.. Jones will be missed
by lis host of friends, yet nowhere
else will he be missed so much as In
the home, where he always proved
to he devoted husband and kind
and indulgent father. Luther will
also be great loss to his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. B. L. Jones, between
whom the ties of affection were very
strong.
The funeral was conducted at the
home Sunday morning by Rev. L.
P. Burgess and the burial took
place Immediately after in the vii
lage cemetery.
The friends who bore DR. Jones
body to the grave were, w. A
Byrd, J. E. Minis, DR.. R. A. Marsh
DR.. J. G. Edwards, NJ. w. Hudgens
H. C. Watson, Judge S. NJ. Smith
and S. E. Morgan.
DR.. Jones is survived by his wife
who was Miss Marion Hill, two lit
tie sons, his father, mother and onl!
brother, DR.. B. f. Jones of Colum
bia.
We extend sympathy to the grief
stricken loved ones.

The Piney Grove Picnic.

The editor of The Advertiser
spent an exceedingly pleasant day
with the good people of the eastern
portion of the county Saturday, at
tending the annual barbecue and
picnic at Piney Grove school. The
Yonces, Derricks, SCOTS, Will
liamses, Cullums Holmeses and
Clarks always greet those who come
among them with such sincere cor
diality that visit is never forgot
ten-on the contrary, it is source
of many pleasant recollections.
The dinner that was spread upon
the long table under the trees re-
hected not only the hospitality of
the people but their prosperity as
we'll. The Philippi-Piney Grove
people live at home, as all farmers
ought to do. The great feast also
indicated that the queens of the
homes in that section know how to
provide and serve a dinner that
would please a king or any other
potentate. The writer is indebted
to Mrs. Mamie ShGffer for large
plate of dinner that was sufficient
for three men.
After dinner Mr.. George w
Scott presented several gentlemen
who in short, tothe-point addresse
made the welkin ring till the crow(
was forced to disperse early in tn
afternoon by threatening clouds
Those who spoke were DR.. J. M

Tribute to an Aged Colored
Woman.

Dear Mr.. Editor: Will you kind
ly give a brief space to this notice
of the death of a worthy colored
woman, Frances Oliphant, eighty
two years old, died on Wednesday,
18th inst, at her home eight miles
above Edgefeld. She was an ex-
slave of the family of the writer,
and having known cher from infan-
cy, we can confidently speak of her
worth. As a slave she was faithful,
and when freedom came to her she
assumed no airs, but was always
humble and courteous toward the
white people, particularly to the
members of the family to which she
had belonged. Ever ready and
more than willing to do service
for those whom she called young
master and young Mistress" she
had firm friends who in turn gladly
did her kindness. She lived har-
moniously with her husband for
sixty-fve years, and that husband,
now eighty-six years old, and who
is totally blind, will sadly miss the
wife who gave him in his helpless
old age the loving attention his af.
hicted condition required.
Her children loved her sincerely
and gave evidence of it while she
lived, and particularly in her last
sickness and death. They spoke Of
her as our mother, our bes
FRIEND" and while they mourn thi
loss they believe she has gone tt
her reward. She was a consisten
member of the church where sh'
was buried, and had many friend
among her own race who will mis-
her many kindly words and deeds

) NEAL CATLETT'S
''s's BODY Was FOUND
Discovered Near The Spot
II Where He Was Swept
81 Off The Horse.

The body of Neal Catlett. the
olored man who was drowned last
,unday in Pond River, near Wynn's,
has found Thursday when the wa
ers receded. The body was lodged
lot more than 20 yards from where
S5atlett was swept from the horse
he was riding. The superstition is
that the horse missed the culvert
that was over a little stream near
1.-THE bridge. which was covered with
water, and in getting too far to one
side the horse got into deep water
from which he finally swan and
reached the roadway again and was
found on the bridge.
Mr.. V. l. Gates. who owned the
horse that Catlett was taking
through the country. sent colored
undertaken to Wynn's yesterday to
-ering the body here for interment.
