wish | could~tell you where we
are and some of the things we
have seen but ] am afraid they
wouldn't pass the censorship.
Anyway, the pictures you see
in the magazines there are re-
liable. Manners and customs
here are much different and lots
of them are awkward for US, one
is money changing but we will
soon get on to that. Don't try
tn send me anything through the

Farm, Home and Garden


Success on the farm, in the
garden and in the home depends
principally on good Judgment.
Some men work hard and work
everything else hard, that is
on the place, and still
they are poor and in debt, and
in debt, and always will be. 9th
ers seem to take the world more
easily and still everything that
GENES their way turns to cash
and they continually climb up the
ladder of success, but if the lat.
ter should try to give the former
some lessons, would they not be
thankfully received generally?
But, generally, the successful
man is called a lucky fellow. The
spirit of neighborliness that pre-
vailed in the early history of this
country has in some cases turned
to the spirit of every man for
himself, but much of the wealth
of this country has come through
the rise in land, but buying the
farm, or anything else, in the
right place, at the right time, has
much to do with future success.
There is always a chance to get a
good bargain in land if a man is
on the lookout.
Set good strawberry plants
take good care of them, and you
will have good berries.
The appletree is a matter you
want to look after, and the man
who said to trim an apple tree
any time when the knife was
sharp knew just what he was
talking about. The growing sea-
son is the time to trim trees if
they are growing too much top
for their bodies, cut it off.
The term, nip in the bud, ap'
plies as well to trimming fruit
trees as to any other thing, The
best time to trim any fruit tree
is when you see a bud starting q
limb where it ought not to grow:
then you can pinch it off with
your fingers and the tree just
simply sends it's growth into>the
part of the tree you wish to keep
that is the trouble with oul
nurserymen; they fail to trim
their trees in the nursery, and
when their trees in the nursery,
and when their trees are sole
they need half of their top takef
off, and just at a time when the
tree has all it can do to live anG
support the top that is left with
out healing the scars made by
cutting off limbs, but if these
limbs were nipped in the but
there wouldn't be any scar OF
knot to heal over. You can grow
the top of your trees as yor
want them,by driving a stake il
the ground and tying a string tt
limbs in the growing season. My
father set out and raised two o
the finest orchards there we're il
the neighborhood where | lived
when a boy and he would make {
limb grow where he wanted it OIL
cut it off. . A. l.. FOOTE.

Had Great Love for Children

Although Mr.. Bowers during the
closing years of his life had resided
at his country home in Dresden, his
friends say that his heart was in
Memphis, which he regarded as the
greatest town on earth Those who
know him will recall that while in
London few years ago, Mr.. Bowers
employed 200 boys to carry banners
through the London streets, adver-
Using Memphis as a city in which to
work and live.
Few men who have achieved a sue
cess through hard work retain the
love for children as did Mr.. Bowers.
The wading pools in Forrest and
Overton parks are among the prac-
teal gifts to the children of the city,
and in the child life of Memphis his
name will live in grateful memory
for many years.
Mr.. Fly recalls that while on re-
cent visit in Hot Springs, Ark, Mr..
Bowers took the 80 little orphans
who lived in the city's only asylum
to a circus as his guests. Upon the

same visit in Hot Springs, Mr.. Bow
ers was approached at night by lit
tie five-year-old girl who offered
flowers for sale. After learning that
the child's father was ill and unable
to work, Mr.. Bowers bought her en-
tire stock and sent her home rejoic-
ing.
II have been intimately associated
with Mr.. Bowers for long number
of years." said Mr.. Fly, "and during
his active management, when he was
sole proprietor Of his stores, we had
many transactions wherein thousands
of dollars were involved, and it is a
noteworthy fact we have never had
a scratch of the pen between either
one of us in regard to any transac-
ton whatever.

Mr.. Bowers Laid to Rest

The funeral and interment of Mr..
Duke C. Bowers was held on Monday
before Christmas. Services were
held from his late residence by Rev.
w. D. Pickens. Carrying out the oft
expressed wish of the deceased, a
simple, brief service was held, fol-
lowed by interment at the Dresden
cemetery, where his colored friends,
also at his request, covered the cas-
ket containing his remains.
The floral tributes were many and
profuse, such as Dresden never be-
fore experienced. Friends from
many places sent flowers, besides tel
egrams, and a number Of Mr.. Bow
ers' friends came from Memphis and
other towns and cities to pay last
tribute to the memory of a good
man.
The Enterprise publishes splen-
did article today from the Memphis
Commercial Appeal relative to Mr..
Bowers life. Suffice to say Ores
den has lost her most generous pub
lie spirited citizen, one who was low
ed by all classes, and the town and
community keenly feels the loss sus-
tanned, proffering profound sympa-
thy to Mrs. Bowers and little Ida
May.
