Small Insect Causces Great Loss. United Press Service.
 New York, Augut 20. The
 little meet that causes an annual loss of hundreds of thousands of bushels of wheat and known as
 the "oat aphis" can scarcely be controlled when it has once gain ed headway. By proper precau- tions, however, serious outbreaks can be prevented. The department of agriculture lhas just issued a bulletin telling farmers how to come back at the oat aphis. It points out that
 the most effective way to fight
 the pest is to destrony the breed ing places which are usually in
 rank gorwing grain which springs up where straw stacks have stood.
 The department suggests
 spraying of small areas where
 the instcts are most likely to breed.

IN MEMORIAM OF L. J. HUFF


 Departed this life August IA. 1914, |. J. Huff, aged B years-years full of glory He has gone to his re- ward and the picture of our dear one memory will never discard. We will miss him in the years that are to come, while he prays for us in heaven, calling us unto his home.
 O, the weary hours without him; o the sad and dreary days. We will miss his loving ways. Nevermore to see him smiling. Never more to hear him call. Never more to feel ca- resses that he cherished over all.
 Yes, we know the sun is shining, sending forth it's light of day. But our lives are dark in sorrow for the dear one called away. Dear one if we could but call you back into our home again. feel your hand and know your presence it would banish every Iain.
 But the darkness gives no answer and the lips we loved so we'll are clos cd in silence and cannot utter the sweet story they would tell of the angelband in heaven, where his soul in glory waits for the day when We are summoned there beyond the golden gates.
 You will live on dear one, in our memory evermore, while you pray and wait to greet us, there on the e. ternal shore. All our love and our af- lection still belongs dear one, to you, and we wait for that reunion that poor mortaIs cannot view.

BATTLE AXE.

Our muck and sand road promises to fill 8 long-felt need. Since the rain, the pond dirt (hard pan mostly) has hardened and settled. forming a hard, smooth road in most places. Seemingly, about all we shall need IS to increase the layer in depth and width and use the drag after rains a few times. The road we now have is vast improvement over our for mer heavy sand road and Is elicitlng much favorable comment from those who see and use it. The question now, is, who suggested the plan? And many are wondering why it was not tried years ago.
 Many are trying late cultivation on cotton, running through with shallow blowing to stimulate growth of the plant and destroy the abnormal crop of young grass, weeds and vines that have sprung up since the rain. You may observe here in several fields cultivators blowing in cotton, where you might expect to find pickers, there being enough cot ton open to afford good picking. No one is picking however, as far as I am informed.
 J. w. Lindley has sowed all the millet he could obtain and now has teams breaking land for rye. Per sonally. he now seems to be a regular sawmill hand, as he leaves home for the mill or woods early each morning, taking his lunch and we see him no more till about sunset.
 We are beginning to hope the re- cent rain will benefit cotton more than we expected. T here seems to be a rapid formation of squares near the top, which should furnish blooms as early as September 1st to the 10th. Cotton growers here consider that blooms appearing at that time have

 With all this, though, our cotton crop will be exteremely, very ex- Itremely light, and that, taken in connection with the present price of the staple, and the European war to check the demand and lower the price, is enough to make the farmer look straight down his nose and won- der how he is going to make both ends meet.

SWIFTON.

On the afternoon of August ID, 1914, the Death Angel visited the home of Dr. Justus. and claimed the wife and mother, Mrs. Florence Justus tnee Wooley). Mrs. Justus was a mem Der of the M. E. church, South, and a worker in the Sunday School and Home Mission as long as her health was such that she could attend to same.
 She was belfast such short time {From Thursday until Monday) that it yet seems we ought to see her sitting on her porch at night, with some kind of.work in her hands, and pleasant word for all who come near. Her sufferings seemed all that human flesh could undergo till God stretched forth His hand and said, "Tis enough, and her spirit took it's flight. She realized that she was going to die and manifested regret at leaving her two little children she felt that her companion could battle with the propositions of life much better than could two little, motherless children.
 She was kind neighbor and a woman that had many friends. The sick about her never lacked for at tention that she could give and she was ever ready to lend helping hand to the needy.
 One neighbor rightly said of her. "Miss Florence just lived for her children and husband"-he life was not self-centered.
 Now, the shadow of gloom has crossed the threshold and leaves within an empty chair. The foot steps of mother have ceased to re- sound, and oh, they'll miss her at
Newport daily independent., 1914-08-21

every turn!
 Sadly they will miss the mother hand that did the thousand and one little ministering things that turn a dwelling place into home. The voice that or earth is stilled, leaves a void that cannot be filled for the childish grievances cannot more be healed by the word from mother and the magic touch of her hand.
 And oh, such loneliness when life's companion is flown forever!
 Sometimes 'tis hard to say, Thy will be done," but God knoweth best, and His judgment surpasseth all.
