WOMAN WINS CHILDREN
AFTER LEGAL BATTLE.
Illinois Court Writes Final
Chapter In Noted Davis
Davis Controversy

At last, after many months of
controversy during which the
husband once kidnapped the
children and the wife got them
back at the point of a revolver,
the final chapter in the fight
between Mrs. Bush Davis and
her husband for the possession
Of their children. has been writ
ten by an Illinois court and Mrs.
Davis is the winner.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Davis are
well known in Henry county.
since it was here that the child
rem were kidnapped by the
husband several months ago.
More recently, Mrs. Davis has
lived as Murray, but a few weeks
ago went to Elgin, ILL.,, where
she had employment and where
her children were placed in the
Larkin home. Davis, charging
that the Larkin home was a poor
ly kept institution; that the
children were i'll clothed and
ill fed and forced to sleep on
hunks, obtained a writ of habeas
corpus at Murphysboro and OBJ
tanned possession of them.
The circuit court at Mnrphys-
boro then heard the case on it's
merits and the custody of the
children was given to the wife,
who returned with them to Elgin,
where they have again been
placed in the Larkin home.

OBITUARY

On Sunday May IA, 1916, Alice
Bumpas. the wife of James
BLmpas, of near Boydsville, KY,
died of consumption, aged about
Sc years.
She leaves a husband, four
children, five grandchildren and
one brother to mourn her de-
parture.
She had been a member of the
Methodist church at Boydsville
for 35 years, and the church has
lost a beloved Christian woman.
She was an exception in many
ways, always cheerful and good.
All was done for her that will
ing hands and loving hearts
could do, but the Infinite God
who doeth all things well, and
who tempereth the wind to the
shorn lamb, saw fit to take her,
we must humbly bow in SUBJ
mission to His will.
The home is lonely now, and a
Mace is vacant that never can
be filed"
To the broken hearted family,
she has paid the debt we all owe,
and will say weep not, only
think it will not be long until
you will clasp her hands again
on the sweet shores of eternal
deliverance, where there will be
no more 'fareWells or good byes'
where the Pearly Gates unfold. 4"
Our hearts are full of sincere
sympathy for the bereaved ones,
| who are left so lonely.
We miss thee, Oh we miss thee,
We miss her dear sweet face;
No matter who is present,
There is none to fill her place.
One of sweet affection,
One we loved so dear,
Was loved by all her neighbors,
And all who knew thee here.
We miss thee, yes we miss thee,

\. CO ST. |. TRYING TO
BUILD UP TERRITORY
Railway Is Active In Promoting
All Live Stock and Farm
ing interests

The activities of the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Railway
in seeking to promote better
farming and live stock raising in
the territory served by it have re-
Gently called forth several COM
mandatory editorials from the
papers over the country.
AS a result of the work done on
the demonstration farms Of the
company, many farmers have
been aroused to the possibilities
of their land and have been fol-
lowing the system of cultivation
and crop rotation to advantage.
The forces engaged in this work
under the direction Special Agri-
cultural Agent Joseph H. Judd
are now arranging for a series of
farm meetings to be announced
shortly at which the farmers in
the several sections adjacent to
the ten demonstration farms of
the road may gather and hear
discussed by experts the best
methods of farming, and will also
have solved for their benefit the
various problems with which they
may be contending on their in.
dividual tracts.
A decided impetus has been
given the raising Of better cattle
through the work of the road in
the placing Of pure. bred bulls in
communities where the farmers
took sufficient interest in better
live stock to secure a number of
pure-bred heifers and cows.
Another element in the promo
ton of better live stock on the
farm is the work of the company
in encouraging and organizing
live stock associations in the
several counties and aiding in the
inauguration of cattle sales for
the benefit of the farmers. 1t
is estimated that approximately
1900 head of pure-bred cattle
have been placed with the farm
ers in the territory along the
N. & C. by this method alone.
In addition the company has
purchased two foundation herds
of Shorthorn cattle.
This work is of such character
as to commend it to those who
really have the interests of the
several communities at heart,
and has the hearty endorsement
and cooperation of the Division
of Extention of the University of
Tennessee and also the State De-
partment of Agriculture.

a systematic campaign has begun in
California by top-working trees OF
such strains with select buds from
trees of the Marsh variety, with
known performance records, thus
reducing the grapefruit production
of the State practically to the basis
of single variety. Each year sees
an increase in the number Of citrus
growers in California who adopt the
commercial tree performance rec
ord system for locating trees of un-
profitable character, either because
they bear little fruit of a strain not
wei suited to commercial use. A
second commercial nursery has been
established during the year in Cali
fornia for the purpose of propaga-
ting trees from wood borne by rec
ord individuals.
Of interest also to the citrus
grower is the statement in the An

WORKING TO IMPROVE
CITRUS TREES

Washington, D. c., Nov. 81
More than 100000 select fruit
bearing buds from citrus trees with
known performances records have
been placed in the hand Of coopera-
tors of the Bureau of Plant Indus
try, of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, who are to permit the
Department to secure progney rec
ords from the trees so propagated.
The purpose is to secure uniformity
of strain of the trees and the fruit
borne to trees. This distribution fol-
lows extensive taking of records of
select trees Of the Washington Nav
ell and Valencia oranges, Eureka,
Lisbon, and Villa Franco lemons,
Marsh grapefruit, and Dancy tan
gerine. The buds are supplied not
merely for propagation of nursery
stock, but, in many cases for the top
working of improbable trees in es-
tablished plantations.

California Fruit Growers Exchange,

making it possible to eliminate a
large part Of the expensive hand
labor which has heretofore rendered
the domestic production of sweet
orange oil commercially unproth-
able. This machine has been patent
ed and dedicated to the public.
There has also been devised sim
pie, practical, method of manufac-
turing sweet-orange oil from the
rind of Gull and waste fruit removed
by the machine mentioned.
Studies of the citrus scab, a dis
ease increasingly destructive in the
past few years in Florida, especially
in grapefruit groves, were under
taken. Spraying experiments indi-
cate the possibility of satisfactorily
controlling it by thorough protection
Of the young fruit.

IN REMOVING
SANDSPUR FROM
CHILD'S THROAT

A telephone message from Tampa
received at noon today was to the eff
fleet that the sandspur, lodged in the
Throat of the little daughter of Mr..

Scope, he advised Mr.. Bryan to allow
him to take the child to Tampa,
where he might have the use of this
instrument and also have the assist
ance of another throat specialist,
which was done.

here this morning from Lakeland to
have removed from her throat a
sandspur which has been lodged in
the vocal cords for two days, despite
all efforts on the part of physicians
to remove it. DR.. Kline and Dr.
Smith, of Lakeland, the latter a
throat specialist, have made five at
'tempts to extract the bur, the child
being on the operating table yester-
day morning for three hours.
Dr. Smith said that by the aid of a
small mirror he could see the sand
spur plainly, and that it was lodged
against the vocal cords. The child's
throat is so small, however, that
whenever an implement is inserted
to extract the sandspur, the nipple
ment shuts off the view Of the ply
stefan. DR.. Smith feared that any
attempt to "go it blind" might re-
suit in permanent injury to the vocal
cord.
The Bryan child is eleven years
old, and is the daughter of T. M
Bryan, a Lakeland architect who
Hives on East Orange street. The
sandspur became lodged in hei
throat Tuesday afternoon, being en-
