Tribute to Mrs. Jane Dickey.

Recent illness prevented us send
ing the following notes in memory
of our dear friend, Aunt Jane
Dickey," as we and others called
her. Our sad heart, with many 9th
ers. is bowed with grief. Instead OF
a costly wreath of flowers, we lay
this tribute upon the precious mem
DRY of this dear good woman. The
pleasant association of more than
sixty years present to our recollec-
ton her pleasant and affable ways
to everyone she met. We feel that
her generous ways, kinds words and
pleasant smiles will ever live as a
sweet immortelle in our brightest
wreath of memory. If she had any
faults they were virtues overgrown.
She was, as many readers of this
remember, the second daughter of
Jacob and Rebecca Foulks, pioneer
settlers in the community of Pleas
ant Hill. Early in life she was
trained to strict habits of industry,
which gave her much pleasure and
helped her to accomplish much in
life. Neatness and industry were
her most charming characteristics.
She attended school in the vicinity
of Pleasant Hill. From a little girl
she grew to womanhood, as happy
and cheerful as the birds that sang
their morning songs in the lovely
shade trees that surrounded her
fathers pleasant home. She married
the man of her choice, Mr.. James
BLY,, thrift, economy and industry.
They raised family of seven chill
dren to be grown. To the orphan
girl, whom she gave shelter, food
and clothing, she gave the same
measure of care and sympathy as she
gave her own children.
1t was a priceless privilege to have
witnessed and known such Chris
tian faith as was hers In the most
real and definite sense, her Saviour
was her friend, her companion and
her confident. Without murmurlng
she bore the stress of affection, being
soothed and comforted by her dutlful
daughters. God was indeed merci-
full when he called her home-called
her gentle spirit from where she sur
fered and endured pain for many
months with wonderful fortltude.
Her beautiful life wrapped in the
sunshine of His love was llvlng
example of Christlike patience, kind
ness and sympathy; benediction to
all who had the pleasure of knowing
her and calling her friend.
To her grief-stricken children,
trends and loved ones sympathy is
extended to you from every life she
touched and only those who have
passed under the rod can know and
sympathize She was an ideal wife,
a perfect home maker. Our hearts
go out to those whom she loved best,
and in the days to come, as in the
days gone by, may we look to God
as she did, SO that when we, too,
cross over the river our lives will
shine as stars by night to deck lifes
desert drear with spots of paradise.
In conclusion, we say that if all
who loved her were to plant flow
er on her grave she would forever
rest under wilderness of beautiful
flowers. If she could speak back to
as this evening and whisper and say

soil, are now branching out into the

soil, are now branching out into the
cattle-raising industry. Planters,
fearing the inroads of the boil wee
vii and the uncertainty of the cot
ton market, have started out to Sc
cure the type of steer which will be
hardy enough to thrive on the herb
age of Mississippi and Georgia and
at the same time prove marketable
in competition with the products of
Texas and other cattleraising States
| Many of the planters have tried
buying yearlings in Texas and pay
ing high prices for them. With the
added cost of freight and foodstuffs
thru the winter little profit has been
left for the experimenters. Those
who have gone in for breeding their
own cattle in the hope of getting
product which will prove profitable
have tried importing their cows and
bulls. The offsprings failed to
prove good enough "rustlers" to
thrive on the scant heritage.
One planter in Southe Georgia
believes that he has secured the So
luton for the Southerners. He
crossed the strains of the Shorthorn
The offspring inherited from the
mother the "rustling" qualities and
from the sire size and sightliness.
If this plan proves successful thou
sands of acres of soil which has
never been titled may be utilized for
pasture.
The Georgian who secured this
cross of Shorthorn with the native
COW worked along the old plan
whereby the hog-raisers many years
ago crossed the noted Thinrind with
other strains until the product had
nothing left of the Thinrind except
his habits. Using this example, it
may be possible for the planters in
the South to produce a steer which
will thrive on the native heritage |
and at the same time be raised more
cheaply than in other States.
Since it has been found that good |
crops of corn can be raised in the
sandy soil many silos are being built
in Northern Mississippi. With
good ensilage and type of steer
which is a "rustler" there are no
reasons why the South should not
forge toward the front in the cattle
raising ndustry.-CourierJ

 PIlblby fataIy hjuIcd.

Norwich, Feb. 19-William Petro- ski, of Fairfield, jumped from a nov ing express train near Westbrook this morning while being taken from the State Hospital for the Insane at Nor wich, to Bridgeport and escaped. Pe- troski has not been seen since al- though evidences have been found near the place where the man es- caped which would indicate that he may have received fatal injuries.
 Petroski was admitted as a patient to the Norwich hospital Dec. 31, 1914. on an order by the judge of probate of Fairfield because he had threatened to kill his family and himself A lunacy commission ad judged him insane and dangerous.
 Caused No Trouble.
 Dr. M. M. Pollock. superintendent of the institution stated to report . CT for the Associated Press over tho telephone this afternoon that Petroski had caused no trouble whatever while he was patient in the hospital Two weeks ago Petroski's attorneys se- cured a habeas corpus writ and he was instructed to produce Petroski in the superior court for Fairfield county.
 Petroski was taken to Bridgeport two weeks ago and presented before the superior court which heard argu- ments to have Petrosk sot at liberty. Dr. Pollock gave his opinion that While the man had shown no ssnp- toms of insanity during his confinp- ment at the hospital he ought not bo discharged. The court continued the case for two weeks and Petroski was to have been presented before tho court again today

 The new German measures at sea are directed against two of the allies of Great Britain. One is the Ameri- can traffic in arms, and the other is starvation We need no American arms and we shall make the struggle with starvation in the firm conscious ness that we will pull through, even if not one single grain of wheat reaches us.
