is undoubtedly the situation that
confronts the farmers of the
South at this time. 1t is equally
true, as has been practically
demonstrated beyond peradvent-
ure elsewhere by feeders, that
the silo enables the production of
foods that make possible a profit
able live stock business on the
farm that no other known insti-

The pamphlet issued by the N.

The Death Of Nicely Olive.

There were some errors in your
notice of the death of Mr.. Nicely
Olive in a recent issue of The
Partisan. He was in his 10Th
year and was never in any army.
He had two brothers Familiarity
known as "Rufe" and Jeff, y
who were as gallant and loyal
Confederate soldiers as ever
shouldered a gun.
Mr.. Nicely Olive was the son
of Leroy Olive, one of the early
settlers of the county and a high
ly respected citizen. Nicely Olive
was married in November, 1860.
to Miss Ellen Moore, daughter
of Col. Geo. Moore, who for MANY
years was sheriff of Henry coun-
ty, and was possibly the best be-
loved man in the county in his
day. There were twelve chill
dren born to this couple, nine of
whom arrived at the age of ma
turity.
Mr.. Olive ives a good man, a
good neighbor, and high-class
citizen from every standpoint.
He was a devoted husband and
parent, an Industrious and hard
working man with the art and
disposition to attend to his own
affairs. Some years ago he join
ed the Methodist church at john
sons Chapel and was a consis-
tent and loyal Christian to the
day of his death. He was a
quiet man, not emotional in his
profession of religion, but was
a Christian from principle and
conformed his daily walk in ac-
cordance with his profession.
He is survived by his noble wife.
SIX children, many grandchil-
dren and great-grandchildren
and his brother, Rufe Olive.
| have never known a man
whose life work was more han
PLY rounded out and completely
finished than that of Mr.. Olive
he lived to see all of his children
happily married and settled in
life; all of them honest and in.
dustrious and each one of them /
deserving and enjoying the ful.
lest CONFIDENCE and respect of all
who know them.
He died as he had lived, a con-
'lstent Christian in fullest faith
ana IN loving confidence, that he
would be welcomed into a beau.
;lful mansion that had been IRE
pared for him.

tice; a qualification not often
found. He should have more
latitude for his efforts in the
State along educational lines. If
he had he would make the agri-
cultural department. of the State
University the most popular, as
it should be.
The Tennessee farmer is fortu-
nate in having so much informa-
ton available if he will only take
the trouble to make his wants
known to the proper officials,
who are always ready and will
ing to serve him.
