Death Of Mrs. Susan Adams Fore.

Mrs. Susan Adams Fore, a most esti-
mable lady, and one of the oldest resi-
dents Of Tensas parish, died on Tuesday
of last week at the home of her niece,
Mrs. G. L. Clark, at Newellton, at the
age of So years.
Mrs. Fore was born in Danville, Va,
in 1913, of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Adams.
Her parents moved from Virginia to
Brandon, Miss. when she was quite a
child and where her girlhood was spent
At the age Of is years she married DIR.
Eli Fore, a rising young physician of
Mississippi. To this union was born one
child which died in infancy. Adult two
years after their marriage Dr. and Mrs
Fore moved to Tensas parish and To-
Gated on Tensas River, where the doctor
practiced his profession until his death
in 1889. He was among the most prom
inent citizens Of the parish and was loved
and respected by very large circle of
friends.
Mrs. Fore was a sister of the late Mrs
Jno. ID. Lynch, Of New Light, and upon
the death of the latter she assumed the
care and responsibility of her sisters or
phan children and became to them a
fond and devoted mother. She seemed
welded to her charge and her life was
wrapped up in her adopted children.
And to their everlasting credit it can be
truly said that they reciprocated her af-
lection in fullest measure and held her
kindness in lasting gratitude. The even
ing Of her life was spent about the fire.
side of. her loved ones, who were ever
tireless in contributing to her comfort
and pleasure.
Deceased was devout Christian and
a lifelong member Of the Methodist
Church. She was Of a most kindly and
lovable disposition and gentle and charit-
able to all. Indeed
''None her but to love her,
None spake but to praise.'f
Her entire life was devoted to the com
fort and care Of others and in the happy
performance of her duty she has builded
her own monument. Peace to her mem-
oryl
Funeral services were conducted at
Newellton last Tuesday evening by the
Rev. P. II. Fontaine, and her remains
were inferred at Jourdan Chapel on the

cotton. have made careful investiga-
tons of the front lands, and so far have
found very few, thus showing that the
greatest number that survived the winter
hibernated near the woods, and make
their first attack on the cotton nearest
them. have my hands bring me every
weevil they catch, in order to determine
the fields that are greatest infested BY
supplying them with small bottle filed
about half full of coal oil, they catch the
weevil and drop them in the oil, and in
few minutes they are dead. Our crops
in this immediate section are very good
so far, and number of squares are
forming. By the untiring method OF
hand weevilins, and later the destroying
OF all infected squares, and fast euItiva-
ton, have no doubt but what we will
make a very fair crop.
My advice to every cotton planter is to
instruct the labor along the lines of hand
weeviling, and explain the great good
that results therefrom. / believe it is
fruitless to look for the weeviI after the
sun is an hour high, by that time they
are filled and take refuge under clo,Is
that are near the roots of the plant.
Don't get scared, brother cotton farmer,
but enter the battle to win; remember
The man who lays down his gun never
never won battle. Keep the fight up
and with a fairly good season we will
make a fairly good crop.
Yours for success,

News Of the death Of Mr.. ]. c..
Sutherland. which occurred at 'Sar-
anac." the plantation home of
Messrs. j. G.. and j. w. Kline, on
Tuesday morning last, was received
with greatest sorrow in st. Joseph,
where the young man was well
known and had many friends.
Z Mr.. Sutherland came here from
New Orleans, last year, and became
associated with Messrs. Kline in
their planting interests. He was
most highly esteemed by his en-
ployers by reason of his capacity,
attention to business and devotion
to duty.
Deceased was quite young man,
being hardly more than thirty years
Of age, and leaves a wife and little
boy who make their home in New
Orleans and who with her mother
and his brother came on receipt Of
intelligence Of his death.
Mr.. Sutherland came to Tensas
in hopes Of recovering his health,
which has been very bad for some
years. being sufferer from diabitis.
He made frequent visits to his FAM
lily in the Crescent City and bis wife
has visited him occasionally at "Sar-
anac." His health improved con-
siderably after coming to Tensas
and he had high hopes Of being full
ly restored, when last week he made
a trip to Vicksburg for medical treat
ment and returned on Sunday feel
ing very well. On Monday evening
he grew rapidly worse and despite
every attention passed away early
Tuesday morning. Mr.. Kline wired
Mrs. Sutherland in New Orleans
and she, her mother and his broth
er, Mr.. Stanton Sutherland, came
for the body, which was brought to
st. Joseph and borne to the depot
by number of the gentlemen Of
this town and parish. The remains
were taken to Memphis for inter
ment.
The sympathy of our entire peo-
pie is extended to his bereaved
widow and family in their grief.

We, the class OF 1911 of the St. Joseph
High School, Parish of Tensas, State OF
Louisiana, being advanced in school and
in some degree enfeebled in body, due to
excessive work, commencement exercises
and boat rides, but of sound mind and
memory, in order that we may have all
school affairs settled whenever it shall
please the State Board to pass on ms for
graduation, do therefore make and de-
claim this our Last Will and Testament.
II we have omitted anything of import
ance it is due to a superabundance OF
notebooks, essays, and debates; by
dilipent search such articles may be
brought to light and given to Mr.. String

FIRST.
We give and bequeath to the school as
a whole, all our poor and unfinished sub
iects, and our bad reports held by the
teachers. Also our interest in Rally Day,
especially our share of the banner, which
will be found circumscribed by the 20"
in champions, provided they adjourn to
the library every morning and pay due
tribute to said spot.
SECOND.
We do hereby give and bequeath to our
teacher, Mr.. Springfield, the key to the
laboratory, only enjoining that he be
more discreet in the future, and not lock
any member of the coming senior class
in said room, either by accident or de-
sign. He must be careful to look under
all articles Of furniture and behind the
door before turning the key in the lock,
as we have discovered by experience that
hours spent in the laboratory, though
profitable are far from pleasant.
THIRD.
To the class of 1912 we hereby give, for
chemical use, all the hydrogen, sulphide,
choline, vapors and fumes, hoping that
their appreciation for this necessary ele-
ment of laboratory win increase with
their education and with their privilege
Of initiating the ninth grade, by produc-
ing a superfuous amount for their bene-
fit. Also our interest in the lectures daily
delivered, feeling sure that ten minutes
out of the fifteen is intended specially
for us. This time may be subjoined, thus
lengthening the lectures to twenty-five
minutes, provided that every tenth day
the subjects Of ''Ideals" or "Procrasti

Iyicksbmg Herald

The. Herald has learned from a
number of Warren county planters
that the boil weevil has put in its
appearance in the last few days.
This is doubtless a fact that has
come under the observation of all
who have given heed to their cotton,
in this latitude and within the boil
weevil region Of infestation. Thea APP
pearance is a little earlier this year
than last, the Herald is Informed,
simply because cotton Is earlier.
The following letter from "a well
known cotton planter of Madison
parish states concisely and clearly
the present boil weevil case, and
what can and should be done to
check their increase and harm:
Thomaston, La, May ID, 1911.
To the Vicksburg Herald:
wish to say a few words about the
appearance of the boil weevil which
have just discovered for the first time this
season.
We have had the weevil with us for
four years, and | believe have applied
every energy to make a coed fight and
hold them in check But do not believe
we have ever before picked our cotton,
in other words, weeviled it, as soon as
the weevil was noticed. have been max
ing very careful Investigations this year,
and believe by locking over the fields at
least once week great good can be accom-
plished by catching the adult weeviI Just
before and little after sunrise. You will
find the weevil at this season of the year
right in the top or the bud of the stalk
feasting upon the tender buds, gaining
increased strength every day and await
ing the very near time for the forming OF
squares, when he does his deadIiest work
nave begun the fight by hand picking,
and it does not require great deal OF
time at this stage of the game to 90 over
several acres Of cotton. | have lew acres
