DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN


Mrs. Elizabeth Sutton, widow
Of the late Maj. Benz. F. Sutton,
died at her home at Florence,
Miss. tuesday afternoon at l
| O'Clock, August 10th, 1915.
Mrs. Sutton had made her
home with Rev. and Mrs. Wayne
Sutton since the death of her es-
Unable husband over thirty
years ago, and in this hospitable
home she lived as member of
the family, sharing their sorrows
and pleasures alike, and during
all those thirty years this trio
lived in perfect christian unity
and love, never an unkind act
occurring nor cross word being
spoken.
For the last few years of her
life, Mrs. Sutton was practically
an invalid, suffering from tuber-
culosis. The love and devotion
of the two sanity women of the
Sutton home was indeed sub
lime. The earnest desire of the
one was always for the pleasure
and comfort of the other. The
tender and loving manner in
which the deceased was nursed
and administered to by Mrs. Re-
becca Sutton fully attested of
the genuine love that had filled
the hearts of these two good wo-
men for these many years. Their
lives were interviewer in chris
tan love, and their influence
for His cause will live on till the
Judgment day.
Mrs. Sutton died as she had
lived-a christian. She knew
| in whom she had trusted for sal
walton, and knew that He was
able to keep that which she had
intrusted to His care against that
day.
| She always contributed liber-
| ally of her means for the adj
vancement of the Masters cause,
and the beautiful christian spirit
of charity, which had character
lied her entire life, was mani
tested to a marked degree when
she bequeathed her entire estate
to the orphanage at Jackson, to
be used for the benefit of the
children of the state who have
been bereft of parental support.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted Wednesday at Briar Hill
by her beloved pastor and de-
voted step-son, Mr.. Sutton. His
remarks very touching and i'm
pressive, and clearly showed the
deep sorrow of his heart.

etc. His friends began to arrive

IMPROVING THE LAWN

there is not so much danger OF dam
age in the case Of the latter.
FERTILlziNG
The management of the lawn after
it is once established is an extremely
important matter, and there are few
general practices that should be fol.
lowed carefully. Beginning in the
early spring, the first thing to do is
to remove with rake the top dress
ing that has been applied in the fall
before. After removing this it is u.s.
ually advisable TO apply some ferti-
lizer, even though the soil is already
reasonably fertile. One of the very
best fertilizers for the lawn in the
spring is nitrate of soda, but on ac-
count OF its quick action and it's caus-
tic effect extreme caution should be
used in it's application. Five pounds
of nitrate of soda are sufficient for
1000 square feet of lawn, and if ap-
piled in solution with the watering
pot and the grass then thoroughly
watered with hose, there is little
danger of scalding. Bone meal is
probably the best commercial ferti-
lizer to use on a lawn, considering
the danger from the misuse of nitrate
of soda. Bone meal can be used with
out taking any special caution in it's
application, as it is in no way IN
furious to the grass. Eight pounds to
1000 square feet is liberal applica-
ton. Any commercial fertilizer that
is used should be applied early in the
spring when the grass begins to grow.
In fact, bone meal can be used to ad-
vantage every month during the grow
ing season, except perhaps July and
August. Fertilizing through the sea
son is especially beneficial in keep
ing the grass stimulated at times
when it would otherwise be more OF
less inactive. Pulverized limestone
as top dressing is very helpful, and
an application Of this substance can
be made either in the fan, winter OF
spring. Lime coFTects the acidity OF
the surface soil and is useful in check,
ing the growth of moss and various
ether plants that are detrimental to
the grass.
