 From this union was born seven children, of this number only three survive, Mrs. K. B. Reed of Springdale W. H. Cowan of lowell and Thomas 5. Cowan of Los Angeles, California.

 Since the death of her husband four years ago she has made her home with her two children, Mrs. R. B. Reed and W. H. Cowan.

Farmer Putnam Tells How
To Build The Best Silo.

"A silo is a hole, entirely sur
rounded by a wall, fur STORM
cow feed. Sometimes the. hole
is in the ground; sometimes it is
up in the air. To build a silo,
first select a nice spot fur the
hole, then build a wall outside
of the hole, ifyou want to build
up, or inside of the hole if you
want pit silo. Either kind is
good, but you got TO go about it
different. If you CANT put up
a silo, put one down, but don't
put it off.
All kinds of material is good
for silo buildin' exceptin' hot
air. Good ones is made outen
cement, concrete, cement slaves,
or slabs holler tile, brick, stone,
wooden slaves, steel. or or two
by fours. We has 1000 silos in
Colorado made of them above
materials and about 10000 outen
hot air. Most of the farmers
has got the spot fur the hole
picked out, but they hain't never
begun to commence to build yet,
fur some reasons or others.
Some hain't got the money, some
CANT decide on the kind of silo,
some sez it's too much work to
haul the crop in and cut it up,
some sez it makes the
cows teeth fall out, some sez
it gives them holler horn and
holler tail, some sez it makes
the milk turn green, some sez
the butter from the silage milk
won't churn, some sez it makes
steers scour. hawgs howl, and
lambs limp.
Anything to put off silo buildin.'
Fam a tellin' you folks better
get busy and look into this silo
business; it'll mean money fur
farmers that wants to make
beef, mutton, or milk, and |
know of some that feeds it to
hawgs and lots of it is fed to
hosses and mules. | wouldn't
starve on it myself if | had to
eat some good corn silage. !"

Every Community Should Or
ganize A Sunday School.

If the Sunday school has been
allowed to die down, there should
be no futher delay in reorganiz-
ing it.
In our concern for the mental
development of our children, we
should not forget the need for
moral training also. In the
writer's neighborhood a boy who
was to have graduated at the
high school last month-a bright
boy in his books spent the CON-
mencement period in Jail, having
entered a store at night and killed
it's owner only few weeks be-
fore. Proper moral training had
not accompanied his mental train
ing.
Every father or mother should
ask himself or herself if the Sun
day school is not needed to sup
plement the training given in
home and public school. And
even if a boy learned nothing
useful in Sunday school, it might
still be worth while for him TO go
simply because the Sunday
school offers an opportunity for
him to meet other boys and girls
in the right environment and un-
der wholesome influences. The
average boy who has nothing to
do from sunup to sundown every
Sunday is pretty likely to get in
to mischief.
The moral and spiritual bene-
fits of the country Sunday school
therefore, should alone insure
efforts to utilize and strengthen
it, while the social and intellect
ual advantages which it offers
may also be not improperly con-
sidered. The Bible is one of the
worlds supreme pieces of litera-
ture, and to study it Sunday
after Sunday will contribute not
a little to anybody's mental
growth and equipment The
Progressive Farmer.
Z A Sunday school organized in
every community in Jackson
county would b, of great benefit
to the boys and girls, and older
people too. We are glad to note
that some communities in the
county have recently organized
Sunday schools, where previously
there we're none.

John Epperson Dies Sudden.
ly At His Home In AlgOOd.

The community was shocked
at the news of the sudden death
of John A. Epperson of Allgood.
on Tuesday, June II. AS we
think of it, we become deeply
conscious of the great loss the
community sustatns in his death.
1t would be a beautiful tribute to
his life if | could express in per-
feet simplicity what every one
who knew him thought of him.
He was a character who rose to
the full stature of a man.. He
was one of those rare souls who
draw all all people to themselves
and inspire them to happy and
spontaneous service. But the
wealth of his character was
shown in his acceptance of that
service. He never took advan-
tage of loyalty for selfish exploit
tation of his fellows. He under
stood and respected the sanctity
of friendship. He was human,
and had a share of human in
firmities, but he did the best
thing a human can do; he gravi-
tated ever toward the good and
the true. He possessed that
rare quality of judgment; that
gentleness of spirit; that genui-
neness of sympathy; and that
radiance of soul that made his
life, before his physical collapse,
a perpetual benediction to all
who in any way touched his life.
These qualities of his character
made his service to his commun-
ity notable; his business a mark
ed success; and his home a place
of sunshine and easy, unaffected
hospitality.
If we could lift the veil of
darkness behind which we grope
In bitterness of spirit, we should
come out into a holy sunlight,
and see in truth that God gives
back to us our friends more deep
ly, more tenderly, more sacred.
ly, after they have been taken
from us by death. They visit
us in those holy moments when
we rise above the material into
the pure atmosphere Of spiritual
meditation. If Christian philoso-
ply be true, then all we admired
and loved and rose to meet in
John A. Epperson lives in all its
strength and beauty today.
A FRIEND.
Mrs. Epperson, who is a native
of Gainesboro, has many relat-
ives and friends here. who deep
ly sympathize with her in the
death of her husband.

"Seventeen-Year Locusls" Dangerous Feed
For Chickens.

Serious losses may results from
chicks eating too many of the
so called 'seventeen-year To-
GUSTS" The wings and leg parts
of the locusts seem to be quite
indigestible, and are likely to
obstruct the outlet of the crop in
such a way as to cause the chicks
to become crop bound.
Little chicks are not troubled
because they are too small to
tear apart and eat the locusts,
but chicks that are more than
four weeks old are large enough
to devour the locusts and to have
trouble asa result.
The only feasible means of COM
batting this difficulty is to move
the chicks, if possible, to fields
where there are few trees and
where the locusts in consequence
do not gather in numbers.
Trouble has also been reported
from mature fowls eating locusts
in great numbers with consider
able mortality resulting.
