Chief AMONG UNCERTAINTIES

If the assertion be true that
"there is nothing certain but death
and taxes" the assertion is equally
true that there is nothing more I'M
certain than a sugar season.
Last year the sap began to flow
about the first of February anc
continued until farmers were liter
ally worn out and tired of the bus
ness. Finding no satisfactory de-
mand for the excessive output the
spiles were removed and attention
turned to other work long before
the flow had ceased.
The Indications now are that the
season of 1912 is open or about to
open, and all that can be done is
to be up and at it.
The extreme freezing of the past
winter is suspicious, but this can
not be regarded as a criterl;n OF
guarantee because alternate freeZ
ing and thawing while the season
is on is far more essential.
Sugar makers have learned b,
experience that there is no bash
on which to reckon, no way by
which an intelligent forecast can
be made for any season, because
the weather conditions upon which
success is contingent are just as
uncertain as the wind.
. Readiness is the only essentia
element in our control, and this
season, at least. has come late
enough to enable every one t.
make ample preparation.
1t may be a long time before We
have another season like last year
certainly with this late start We
cannot reasonably look for it this
spring, but be the period long Oh
short, it is safe TO assume thai
Highland will maintain her supre'
macy over all Virginia counties ii
this unique industry.
In addition to icing the sweetest
she is among the smallest. the high
est, the dryest and the best.

Died of appendicitis, Feb. Is,
1912, Matte H. Armstrong, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Arm
strong, aged 8 years, II months,
and Fl days.
She was not feeling well Monday
and Tuesday, but attended school
Tuesday night her symptoms be-
coming serious. DR.. Jones was
called, but did not diagnose her case
as appendicitis until Wednesday.
Thursday morning DR.. Walden was
called in consultation, and it was
decided that an operation was I'M
perative, but fearing that she was
too weak to be taken to hospital,
they 'phoned for a surgeon to come
to the home and operate. 1T was
impossible to get a surgeon that
day, so the only alternative was to
risk taking her to Staunton.
Hurried preparations were made
and at II m. her parents and Dr..
Jones, in,Mr. Shoulders car, hurried
her off to Stanton. reaching there
about $50 p. m.
Stopping at The Highland house,
Drs. Catlett aud Trimble were call
ed who found that the little patient
was too weak to undergo an opera
ton that day, and deemed it best
to take her to the Augusta Sana-
forum for treatment, but she ex-
pired in DR.. Catlett's arms before
reaching the Sanatorium.
With bleeding hearts the parents
returned Friday Ii orning with the
little body to their home, now des-
olate, and Saturday morning left
for North. Fork, Pendleton county,
w. Va, where they laid their dar-
ling away. in the cemetery near
Mrs. Armstrong; former home.
She was. a bright, happy child
and the pet of the household, be-
ing the only daughter, and her
death leaves a void that time and
a loving Father only can heal.
She will be sadly missed in her
home by father and mother, broth
er and uncle, and in the Sunday
school at this place, of which she
had been member since infancy.
The deepest sympathy is felt, by
a host CT frier DIS, for this bereaved
family.
