The Gazette is in receipt of letter
from Mr.. r. L. McCaa, of Russum,
Miss, in which he says:
"In the Holly Hill grave yard, the
old Russum home, there is vault
which, through age, has fallen apart,
and small child, about three years
old, in metallic casket, is exposed to
view. Strange, thouoh the child has
been buried about go years, the body
is in fine state of preservation. The
child is a Watson and as no one here
seems to know who the proper person
is to communicate with, and as you
are in touch with some members of
the Watson family in your parish, you
might be able to learn who the proper
one is to take charge of the casket
and have it re-interred. Quite num-
Der of people about here, through
curiosity, have visited the vault from
time to time, and l fear that the glass
covering the casket may get broken
and the body decompo-e by exposure
to air and weather. Hence l would
appreciate it if you would endeavor to
locate relatives who will feel sufficient
interest to have the child reburied or
or removed"

Irish potatoes are abundant and
wheat is scarce. Potatoes can be used
to replaced large part of the wheat
in many dishes, including bread, bis
cult, mullins, stutfing, cakes, cookies
and crusts. Circular No. 106, "Use
Potatoes to Save Wheat" which has
been issued by the L. S. Department

for the use of potatoes in place of
wheat. Copies of this circular may be

A saleslady representing a Baton

hundred dollars worth of goods. And

and everybody else are telling the
American people they should Hoover
ize along all lines and buy thrift and
war stamps and government bonds.
II the government ever needed the
support of the people, to the last dol

selves every luxury and many of the
absolute necessities in this day of
national crisis. 1t takes money to win
wars in these days and should the I'M

An immense crowd assembled at
Newellton last Saturday, to hear an
address from Judge f. X. f. Kim
brough, on the subject of the forth
coming drive for the Red Cross. 1t
was expected that an army officer
would also be present to tell of the
work done by the Red Cross organi-
cation in Europe, but the New Or
leans headquarters did not find it
practicable at this time to detail an
officer, much to their regret as well
as to the disappointment of those who
hoped to hear him. Judge Kimbrough
made a strong address, which was well
received, and it is expected that great
good will result from the rally in the
coming drive.

IN MEMoRIAM.

With sorrow and sympathy we
chronicle the visit of that unfailing
Observation-Disclosures summoned
a staunch and much beloved friend
of Tensas parish, Mr.. David Drake
Miller. He passed away suddenly
at his home on Clifton Heights.
Natchez, Miss, May 2nd, 1913, in
the seventy fifth year of his age.
Born at Fairview Plantation, Con-
cordia parish. Sept. 25th, lS43. he
was the last surviving son of David
Franklin Miller and May Bathurst.
Four sisters survive him: Mrs. Eliza
Ulrich, Chester. Pa; Mrs. Maria
Miller, Philadelphia; Mrs. Julia
Craig, Amite City, La, and Mrs.
Louise Collins, Jacksonville, Fla.
He received his education at Beth
any College, Va, but with the pat
riotism and ardor of Southern blood,
left it early to join the army of his
native country. He soon rose to
rank of First Lieutenant of his COM
pany, of the Army of Tennessee, and
was the last of that brave band to
succumb to the fiat of Immortality.
February 81, 1867, he married
Miss Rachel Ulrich of Chester, Pa,
who died in 1888. In 1874 he
moved to Highland plantation, Ten
sas parish, where he and II. c. Mil
Ter, his cousin and partner. lived
for many years. There he reared a
family of affectionate children, who
honor and venerate his blessed mem
ory-living opponents of his emf
nent example and gentle guidance
thro' years of childhood bereft of a
mothers love and care. They are
Mrs. Annie Watson, David Frank
lin and John Ulrich Miller, sub
stantial citizens of this parish; Miss
Mary Miller, now of Troy, Ala.
and Mrs. Rachel FriersOn of Amite
City. La.
November 26tb, 1891, he married
Miss Rosa Johnston of Church Hill
Miss, who with one daughter, Miss
Camille Miller. also survive him
and reside in Natchez, where Mr.
Miller had made bis home in recent
years-an abode of love and tender
care.
After the death of his relative
III. C. Miller. the same influence anC
) guardianship was given to his sons
raising them to successful manhood
, thereby adding three stars to his flag
of service. His latter years have
brought much physical pain anc
discomfort, but it did not mar thu

SUMMER SPRAYING
FOR HOME ORCHARD
''Spray Calendar For Georgia.
Gives Detailed Information.

Spraying is comparatively simple
piece Of work when the orchardist has
once learned the game, and it is as
necessary to the life Of the trees and
the quality of the fruit as any other
part of the orchard work.
The most important thing to con.
slider is the equipment which should
consist of good barrel pump, Is to
rs feet Of hose. an 8-foot extension rod
| and an angle disc nozzle.
The farmer should coach himself for
the job as follows:
First, obtain SPRAY Calendar for
Georgia" from the College of Agricul.
ture in Athens, and study thoroughly
the spray mixtures which are used for
the different insects and diseases, and
the time of applying these.
Second, study the methods of com
bining the different spray mixtures so
as to make the same application con-
troll both insects and diseases that
may be present at that time.
With the average home orchard two
summer sprayings for the early fruit
and three for the late varieties should
give very good results. Under Geor-
gia conditions the first summer spray
ing will be most important for fruit
of good quality.
For the first summer application on
apples use commercial lime-sulphur d.
luted gallon Of concentrated solution
to 40 gallons Of water. Add to this
pound of powdered arsenate Of lead,
also add nicotine sulphate. or "Black-
Leaf 49," according to directions on
can If lice are found on the leaves.
Apply Just after petals fall.
For peaches use the mixture given
above. emitting nicotine sulphate, or
"Black-Leaf 4O." Make the applica-
ton when the peaches are the size of
a cowpea.
For the second application on ap-
Iples use bordeaux mixture (4-4-50, see
Spray Calendar). Add pound Of ar
senate Of lead to each so gallons. Also
add the nicotine sulphate, or "Black-
Leaf 49," il lice are present on the
leaves. Apply the latter part Of June.
Repeat the application Of this mix
ture about the latter part Of July for
late varieties.
For peaches use self-boiled lime-sul-
phur $3.50, sec Spray Calendar). Add
I pound Of arsenate OF lead to 80 gal
Ions. Apply in June. Repeat in July
for late varieties.
II you expect results there is one
rule to follow, "Thoroughness." Every
leaf and fruit should be covered before
you leave the tree.-Elmo Ragsdale.

ture.

POOR DWELLING PLACE, THIS
British Naval Base % Wel-Hei.Velj
Has Decidedly Few Attractions
for European Residents. ,

Wei-hei-wei is the bit Of Chinese ter.
ritory that the British hold under lease
as a naval and commercial base. It is
just across the breadth Of the Shan
tung peninsula from Kiachow. Wei
hei-wei lies partly on the mainland,
partly on an island, where the dock
yard, the coaling station and the rest
Of the machinery for q naval base are
located. Most Of the civilian popula-
ton live on the mainland, and patron
lie little steam launch that plies
across the intervening sea when they
want to go shopping; for with an eye
to getting the British jackies' trade
when warships put in to coal, the
shops Of Wei-hei-wei are out with the
docks and the coal yards.
The island seen from the steam
launch is a barren, sandy hill, ridged
with gullies that the hurrying rain wa
ter has cut In its course to the sea.
The sand Of these hills Is one Of the
omnipresent features Of the colony
every wind that blows carries 1t about
by pounds, and only the cheapness of
Chinese servants makes 1t possible to
keep a European household busted.
The mainstreet on the island has the
characteristic British colonial look,
with British post Office, a British
steamship booking Office, and British
shops. On the short side street are the
Chinese Ds, which are only, opened
at seasons when visitors are
-nty. or when a warship puts in to
the harbor.

Natural gas is probably formed in
the earth by process Of natural dis
tillation from the animal and vegetable
remains Of past geological epochs, and
is nearly the same product as is dis
titled from coal in the retorts Of gas
factories, only instead of the heat of
fires the internal heat of the earth,
aided perhaps by chemical decomposi-
tiOn, has caused it's formation on a
