Mr.. A. H. Norman, Field Agent
from the Farm Improvement depart
ment Of the Southern Railway was in
Macon this week. Mr.. Norman has
for his field work the country along the
Mobile & Ohio from Meridian to West
Point. The Southern Railway in this
work Is trying to assist and supplement
the work Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Mr.. Norman says that the national
department of agriculture and this de-
partment of the Southern Railway are
both Of opinion that the open winter
just passing has been exceptionally
favorable to the propagation of the boil
weevil, and its ravages this year are
likely to be serious. 1t behoves Noxu-
bee County to look alive and guard
against the weevil as much as possible.
The best thing to do is to clean up the
farm. cutting down thickets in or near
cotton fields and the ditch banks should
be kept clean. These places are favorite
haunts and breeding places of the
weevil.
Another thing that the department
urges on the farmers IS to plant big
boil, early maturing cotton.
The Southern is also encouraging the
farmers along its line to raise all sup
plies for man and stock on the farm.
This regime is the most solid basis OF
successful farming, especially in hare
times.

IN MEMORY OF FANNIE X. THOMPSON.

On the Bird of January. 1913, just at
the break of dawn the spirit of Miss
Fannie Thompson passed peacefully and
gently to the great beyond.
She was the Oldest daughter of Jerome
G. and Mollie j. Thompson, of Cooks
vile. Miss, and was born January 9Th,
1876. When quite a child she united
herself with the Methodist church of
that place.
She suffered for nearly a year, but
through it all she bore it with fortitude
and when the death summons came her
only regret was having to leave her de-
voted mother.
The smile that adorned her fsce indi-
Gated she was at rest with God.
No more will her smiling face greet
US or her kind words wake to ecstacy
Our sorrowing hearts. for God has
claimed his own.
To the bereaved mother. sister,
brother and large connection of relatives
we extend U heartfelt sympathy.
May he who listens to the ravens call
console you. Be comforted; your jewel
has only passed through the gateway
OF Death, from the scenes Of her usefu.-
ness to the shining courts Of God, who
knoweth best; and
While our hearts are bleeding
Der the spoils that Death has won,
We must at this solemn hour
Calmly say. Thy will be DONE"
