SARAH BACHE

Sarah Bsche, or, as her father, Benja-
min Franklin, always called her, Sally"
was born on September II, 1744, in Phila-
delphia. When she was twenty-three she
married Richard Bache, a Philadelphia
merchant, and thereafter became widely
known in Philadelphia and the country
in general for her numerous charities,
especially for her loyal and patriotic at
tentions to the American soldiers in the
Revolutionary War. She collected funds
TO buy clothes for the needy soldiers,
scraped lint, made bandages for the
wounded, and actually nursed the soldiers
in hospitals.
"If there are in Europe" wrote an
Englishman who met Mrs. Bache, ''any
women who need a modeHof attachment
to domestic duties and love for their coun-
try Mrs. Bache may be pointed out to be
such"
Mrs. Bache was always very much. be-
loved by her father, and in his life We
read constantly of his sending special
messages to her when he was away from
home and of presents he sent to her that
showed that she was ever in his thoughts

they are particularly glad Of it, And

THE SOUTH.

The prominence attained by the Unit
ed States of America i'm all things that
attribute to nations greatness has
amazed the world and in no part of our
country has greater progress been made
towards higher civilization than in the
South of to-day.
Let me picture to you the foot-sere
Confederate soldier as he turned his face
Southwark in lS65,-worn out, half
starved, ragged, and heavy-hearted.
Think of him enfeebled 10y wants and
wounds, having fought to exhaustion, he
surrenders his gun, and wrings the hands
OF his comrades, and for the last time
looks at the graves that dot the Virginan
hills, pulls his cap oler his brow, and
begins the slow painful journey home.
What does he find when he gets home
the home he left so prosperous and beau
tiful? He finds his house i'm ruins, his
farm devastated, his slaves free, his stock
killed, his barn empty, his trade de-
stroyed, his money worthless, AMI his
comrades slain and the burdens OF Others
heavy OH his shoulders. What does he
do? Does he sit down in sulenness and
despair? Not day! Surely God, who
had stripped him OF his prosperity, in
spired him in his adversely. Ruins were
never before so overwhelming, never was
restoration swifter. The soldiers stepped
from the trenches into the furrow, the
horse that once charged the Federal gun
now marched before the pillow, the field
that ran red with human blood in April
was green with harvest in June. Women
who were reared in luxury cut up dresses
to make their husbands breeches, and
with patience and heroism that fit women
always as garment, gave their hand to
work.
At the close of the war the Northern
people were prosperous and wealthy,
while the South for ten years became
constantly more impoverished. Tie re-
covery of this crushed and devastated

The commencement exercises of the st.
Joseph High School, conducted at the
Masonic Hall on Monday evening and
Tuesday morning, were beautiful in every
feature and all parts were exquisitely
rendered. Every child did his or her part
to perfection and it was the consensus OF
opinion that no improvement could be
made in the program or its rendition.
The gold medal awarded by the Town
Council of st. Joseph for the highest av-
erage made by the graduating class fell to
Miss Nola Grifiey, and the medal award
ed by the faculty for the highest average
in the grammar school went to Miss May
Young.
In the primary grades gold medal
was awarded to little Gus Watson for
regular attendance, the little man having
attended every day throughout the entire
session, and never tardy, notwithstand-
the fact that he lives four miles from
town. A silver medal was given Frank
Hernsby also for regular attendance, this
little, fellow having answered roll call
promptly every morning in the entire ses-
sion, but was unfortunately taken i'll at
school one day which forced him to lose
half day.
These two little men are deserving of
the greatest congratulations and their ex
ample should well be followed by many
of the more advanced grades.
The session which has just closed has
been one of the most successful in the
history of the institution and the thanks
of our entire people are due the principal

TO fight The WEEvl.

Messrs. Rumble e. Wensel Co. of
Natchez have forwarded the Gazette
the following news item from the
Yazooo City Miss Sentinel, with
suggestion that it be published. The
experience of the delta farmer is
very encouraging, but we do not
think it advisable for the farmer to
depend entirely on the plan outlined
to reduce the infestation, however
meritorious the scheme or deadly
the effects of the solution or fumes
may be to the weevil. The surest
way of fighting the weevil is to pick
them off the young plant now and
burn the squares after they begin to
fall. The article is here given:
Mr.. G.. NJ. Manor, merchant and
planter, of Anding, few miles south of
Yazoo City, has made discovery that
enabled him during the last season to
make splendid crop of cotton in prob
ably the worst infested boil weevil section
of the country. Mr.. Manor feels so good
over the success of this plan that he wants
everyone else to know of it, in the hope
that the damage by reason of the weevil
infestation may be reduced to minimum
Mr.. Manor's plan was to attach to all
the plows as soon as the cotton is ready
to work, gunnysack or other heavy
cloth, saturated with the following mix
ture: Lubricating oil, one gallon, moth
balls, one pound. Boil together and add
one pint of tar, and mix with five gallons
of coal tar.
The sacks are saturated with this mix
ture and attached to singletrees, and as
the blowing is done, the sacks drag auto
matically over the plant. The fumes of
the mixture are very obnoxious to the wee
vii, and as the fumes stay on the plant a
long time, the pest will not attack the
plant. As the crop is plowed frequently,
the fumes stay on the plant from one
blowing to the next, so that the plant is
thus made immune from the ravages OF
the pest.
As evidence of the success Of the plan,
Mr.. Manor made forty-seven bales OF cot
ton the last season with four families,
while neighbors who relied wholly on the
government cultural methods of picking
and burning the squares, made only
twenty-rhree bales, with fourteen families
and three wage hands.
Mr.. Manor could have gotten great
deal more cotton than he did but for the
heavy rains in September and October,
which rotted great many polls in the
field. He thinks it conservative to say
that the entire crop averaged at least a
half bale to the acre, which is good
average crop under normal conditions.
i Mr.. Manor also takes the precaution
not to use any cotton seed that has been
raised on the place the previous year.
His idea is that some weevils hibernate
in the old seed, and in this way some are
kept alive and perpetuated in the new
crop. By buying new seed from some
section where the boil weeva does moi
exist, he thinks the danger of weevil in.
festation is reduced considerably.-Yazoc

FOR PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATION.

In the issue of the Gazette of the
9Th inst, under the caption, The
General Assembly," We took occa-
sion to say:
As to whether we have entirely too
many laws, We do not know. That may
he. But as to additional legislation, we
do know. OF the right kind, we need lots
OF it and it is hoped the Assembly will see
and realize it. Anyway we are going to
call their attention, and the Governors,
too, to much of it, and that before the
session gets well on its way.
These remarks. on our part, were
prompted by Governor Hall, who,
prior to the opening of the General
Assembly, was quoted as saying:
81 would prefer that the General As
sembly meet and care for the material
needs OF the State, pass such revision as
may be absolutely necessary and adjourn
We have entirely too many laws now on

enacted than it becomes dead letter
