DIED.

in Washington Parish, DR.. Jep-
tina J. Afford. Born on the IND,
of Aug. 1880 just above the State
Line near his home where he
died, being "a years and three
months old.
The long active and useful life
of the above, the great services
to his fellowman, the value OF his
influence and the example his
life has been to the community IN
which he lived, the Importance OF
his acts to his country and state
entities him to more than mere
passing notice amongthe list of
the dead.
Beginning life at a time when
the opportunities for acquiring an
education was quite limited COM
pared to the present time, he by
diligent study in the country
schools acquired sufficient educa-
ton to teach school and in 1853
and 1854 he. taught school in the
Parish of st. Helena teaching
and studying for his chosen pro-
fession which was that of Medi"
cine. 1t was during the time he
was teaching that he took part in
his first political campaign, and
showed his great ability as an
orator and stump speaker. 1t was
in IS IL when the great wave OF
Know Nothingism or''Sons Of the
sires'' swept over the country he
canvassed that Parish for that
party, and it defeated the Demo
cratic Parish. Graduating in
Medicine from old Louisiana Med
ical College 1856, he began his
remarkable career as a practicing
physician, and of his works as a
doctor, a volume might be written.
1t was at a time when there were
but few doctors, and the territory
in which he practiced was more
than forty miles in circumference,
and during the. sickly season,
which was in the late summer
months, when there was a great
deal Of fever, he could for weeks
at a time only get a few hours
rest, and only his strong vigorous
constitution enabled him to do
this work. It was as practiclng
physician that he first displayed
that charitableness of heart, that
unselfish devotion to the task of
relieving the needy, that was
characteristic Of his whole life.
No trips were too long, no night
too dark or cold to prevent him
from visiting the suffering tho he
knew there was no possibility OF
Ibis receiving any compensation
for his service. During the Civil
war he remained at home and ad'
ministered to the families of the
absent soldiers free Of charge Of
ten compounding his own medi'
cine. And could we but know in
this long practice of forty years
the homes he has visited, or est.
mate the thousands of suffering
he has relieved, we might form
some opinion OF the great benefit
he has been to his fellowman.
Of a cheerful lively nature he
carried this jovial personality Of
his into the sick room, and he Of
ten SAID that he cared more pa
tents with his laugh than he did
with his drugs. Tho great as was
his work among the people as a
doctor the most lasting benefit to
his country will be his influence
he has left upon the succeeding
generation by his Jealous con-
sistent advocacy of temperance.

perence'' was organized In the
country to fight the great evil of

JOHNSON ' AVERA HARD
Plant Rye Or Clover.

Last week 1 called aLCenCl0n 10 Crimson Clover and other crops that need attention now. At this time of the year, both man and horse have less to do than at any other time during the growing season. This year is an unusual one and we should make special efforts to have something to feed our stock this winter.
 We are not at all sure that cotton will bring a very flatter- ing price this fall as the price per bale dropped $19 last week. We should not by any means, de- pend upon cotton money to buy corn this winter. The corn crop is seriously hurt in every section of the country and Ar kansas has fared no better than the rest of the corn belt. In my opinion, feed will be little hard to get at the customary prices this year.
 The early hay crop has also been pretty badly burned and at the present time, Arkansas is not in an independent position so far as the amount of feed on hand and in sight is concerned. Sometimes, Southern farmers are very justly criticized for not raising their own feedstuff when conditions are so ideal. We have time yet for some crops, and Arkansas must not be found in the Want Column next wint- CT. We will doubtless find many of our neighbors who will want to buy feed in the late winter, and if you raise too much, it is almost certain you can find a ready market for any character of feed you grow.
 Unfortunately, many of us have had to depend on our neigh boring states to furnish the corn supply heretofore, but the peculiar situation now is, will we be able to realize sufficient cash for cotton to buy corn! Corn everywhere has been dam aged more or less and it is reasonale to suppose that we will have less cotton money this fall and a higher price for feed stuffs.
 The idle teams can be put tt
 work preparing land for oats rye, wheat, bur clover, crimson clover, with COW peas, sorg
 hum, late potatoes, a late gar
 den and alfalfa. Sow the winter turf oat. If you have had only
 a small acreage heretofore, nov l is the time to double it. Ever!
 idle acres of land should b
 made to work this fall. Sov
 some rye or crimson clover il
 the corn and cotton middles
 and if you have small acreage
 of clovers, increase it now. Ev
 eryone realizes the value of win
 ter growing crops, but we have Irot been so accustomed to latt summer farming as we should
 be. Thousands of our farmers
