OBITUARY

On Jan 29th, the death angel again visited our community and took from us our beloved and aged friend, Mrs. Mary Rachel Rhodes, Better known as Aunt Mary.
 She was born in Newton County. Ga, in 1S42 and came to what is now known as Gale, Arkansas, in 1S4S, where she lived to the age of 73. She was the mother of eleven children four have gone on before. Seven are left behind, who with a large number of grand children and great grand children, must suffer this loss till heaven is made their home, for we are sure she is there enjoying the music the angels make, and, though it is so sweet we would gladly strain our ears tc catch one note from their harps or hear them sing one song Of our Fathers love, vet she can sing one equally as sweet-"I've Been Re deemed"
 Befor she hcame too weak to talk, she told them not to weep but to re ioice and was happy as long as she could talk.
 The night before she died the room was filled with friends, children, grand children. great grand childrer and one brother, F. N. Daniel of Pres cott, at whose request, as it had leen hers, we sang and prayed. singing several old primitive hymns which she had once enjoyed hearing and We were made to rejoice in Saviors love. while tears flowed freely and the voices trembed And while we sung. There are Angels Towering Round" and "They will Carry the Tidings Home" I'm sure they were near us and as We could almost see them floating above. we could feel the joy pouring into our souls and We think sinners must have felt solemn and desire to live so that the same might be said of them as has been said of this mother.
 Bro. J. D. Elkins of Blevlns, spoke words of comfort followed by a short talk ny Bro. Meadows after which the black box containing the cold body of Aunt Mary was borne by loving hands to its last low resting place in Friendship graveyard where she will lie undistrurbed till Jesus says Come forthl'
 We would say to those who were not permitted to see her in her last hours; look up and rejoice that she has crossed the dark river and swept through the pearly gates where you too will soon be if you live trpc to God.
 A friend, Alice Hannah.

PEANUTS AS A FORAGE CROP

Peanuts can be grown on practical ly any type of soil that exists in the South although they thrive best on loose, sandy land The best variety for general use is the Spanish. It is characterized by small pod and abundant and heavy foliage. and yields upnder ordinary conditions for ty to fifty bushels per acre.
 The peanut may be planted between the first of May and the last of June and a crop may be expected if pro perly worked. A we'll prepared seed bed adds greatly to the yield
 Peanuts may be harvested in many ways One of the best of which is to allow the stock to harvest them as follows: CD After the tops have been harvested for hay, the hogs may be turned to get the pods, or he pods may be plowed up and saved and the hogs turned in to root out those re- maining in the ground. @ The vim es and pods may be harvested togeth- CT They may be pulled up by hand, but it is easier to run a bull tongue blow under the roots before pulling.
 The peanut is a good soil builder and takes the place of clover where the latter cannot be grown success fully. When it is planted in rows from twenty four to thirty inches apart and from four to eight inches in the drill, they yield from one to two tons of hay and from forty to fifty bushels of pods per acre. It re- quires two and thrcc-fourths pounds of peanuts to produce one pound of meat which suggests that peanuts can be proftably grown for fattening hogs Peanuts on the vines have a feeding value greater than that of clo- yer hay.
 Any farmer can afford to plant five acres of "goobers" and on this he can produce five tons of hay worth $40, and an average of 5O bushels ot pods worth S0c-a total value of $240 wrom which $50 must be deducted for seed and cultivation, leaving a net profit of $190. In addition the nitrogen ad- ded to the soil is of about the same value as that furnished by COW peas.
 The Aphis is practically the only harmwul pest and it is rare in the To- calities where peanuts are at present raised. When it attacks a field that lis a sure sign that crop rotation Is necessary.
 The fact that the peanut can be proftably grown on almost any type of soil. that it stands a drouth well, that it increases the value of the soil on which it is grown, and that 1t has very few pests, makes it very val uabe forage crop.

ANSWERS The CALL
HIS DEATH BRINGS TO MIND AN
INCIDENT OF PYTHlAN
DEVOTION

In the early days when Thomas Nj.
Skerritt. who had gone from Tonopah
to Blair, fell Ill. word reached his
old comrade, N. l.. Schade, who had
remained here Nick had only five
cents in his pocket and could not Sc
cure transportation, but investing the
five cents in rolls and singing can
teen over his shoulder, he walked
all the weary way across the desert
to his lifelong friend and nursed him
through pneumonia. Skerritt, who
could shoot the eye out of a needle
or name in advance the foot by
which he would rope horse or
could hogtie and dehorn as fast as
the animals were brought to him,
died at Englewood, Colorado, sew
eral days ago, he having acquired a
tidy little fortune in later years.
Here is what the Englewood Tribune
says of the Tonopah pioneer:
Thomas NJ. Skerritt the first white
boy born in what is now Denver,
died of kidney trouble at / O'Clock
Monday morning at his home in En-
glewood. Mr. Skerritt would have
been SIS years old next month. He
was the Oldest son of Thomas Skier
ritt known as the father of Engle-
wood" who came to what was then
Aurora on Cherry creek in the fall
of 1859, making the journey overland
from Chicago Mr. Skerritt was born
May "a, 1860.
He attended school in the first lit
tie log schoolhouse that still stands
in Englewood and later began farm
ing and engaged in the horse bus
mess. Part of his land about Engle-
wood he sold for town sites and was
among the most well-to-do of Engle-
woods residents. He never married,
but made his home with his sister,
Miss Margaret Skerritt
Funeral services were conducted
from the residence at 10 a, M, on
Thursday, Rev. Houghton officiating.

NEW CAMP HAS BEEN NAMED SYLvAN|TE

Especial Bonanza Correspondence)
SYLVANITE, New, May 16.--It is
not very often in Nevada that the av-

other occupations witnesses the open
ing of two high grade mining camps,
one of gold and the other of silver
ores, within a distance of two miles

of affairs at Volcano, forming the
nucleus of a camp at Weisse and
Riddell strike which has become
known the past few days as Sylvan
