the tenth of December after short
illness at the age Of seventynine
years. Before his death he prepared
funeral notices for several newspapers
in which he desired to be remembered
after death. The Record was includ-
ed, and is glad to give the obituary
space not alone because of the prom
inence of tic deceased, but because his
life had been worthy one and an in
spiration to those who are left behind.
He was always an ardent church.
worker and II bitter foe of the liquor
interests. That his last days were
peaceful and that he approached
death without u tremor may be seen
from the easy swing to the descriptive
part of the obituary.

neral and returned last Thursday.

see Jas. H. Stribling's great 20-acre
farm, and he will tell them how he
raised corn for II IL cents bushel
and made a net profit of 81 ,O60.40 on
his land.
At the Chapman place, near Darks
Mill, Tenn, they viii see a 5OO-acre
farm which was made by the methods
of "book farming" Mr.. Chapman de-
cided at the outset that live stock
would be necessary in order to restore
the fertility that had been literally
mined from the. soil, so he began the
establishment of dairy herd that
now numbers about 200 pure-bred
Jerseys.
Columbia is the largest original
mule country in the United States

duced in this vicinity than in any 9th

and sheep are also produced in enor-
nous quantities, so this one place
