All the care and love that
skilled physicians and an anxious

issued and aftera a brief struggle.
despite the prayers and entrea-
ties Of all who knew, and loved
him, their appeals were oyerruled
and the sufferers spirit took its
flight to that home the Christian
believes is the fulfillment of the
life everlasting.
The wide circle of relatives,
friends and acquaintances be.

unbearable, were it not for the
comforting knowledge that his
sweet influence will live forever
in the hearts Of all whose good
fortune it was to be associated
with him.
The funeral took place at 4::So
o'clock Wednesday afternoon
from the st. John the Baptist
Catholic Church. in Edgard, in
terment being made in the ST.
John Cemetery.
A throng of sorrowing friends
filled the spacious church and
with grief bowed heads and sad
dened hearts joined in the final
obseQuies at the grave. thus
giving silent testimonial of their
love, andremembrance.
Besides his venerable father
and devoted mother he leaves
many close relatives to mourn l1ia
sad loss.

APHIs VS.. BLIGHT

The aphis is unquestionably one of
the worst pests at this time Of the
season to carry blight. For the ranch
er to have the aphis in his orchard at
this time and to continue to cut the
blight and not take the necessary step
to control the aphis is a waste Of time
and money. Therefore, there is only
one thing to do, if you want to control
the blight-spray for the aphis first.
Do it today. Don't wait for the leaves
to curl.
