A Federal Fort in a Locust

During the Civil War at the battle
of Franklin, Gen. Hood, standing up
on an eminence, saw for the first
time in the distance Federal fort
in locust grove, from which his men
were being moved at rapid rate.
Gen. Hood at once called his courier
to his side and said: go to Cen
eral Cheatham and give him my
compliments and ask at his hands
that fort in the locust grove" The.
courier put spur to his horse and
soon returned saying that Gen..
Cheatham could not be found, and it;
was feared that he had been killed.
Go then," said Gen. Hood, ''to Gen.
Cleborn, give him my compliments:
and tell him 1 ask at his hands that
fort in the locust grove" Of the
courier flew the second time, but
soon returned saying "Gen. Hood,
Gen. Cleborn is dead on the iied.r
1t is said that when he heard that
his great Irish general had fallen,
his eyes full of tears and his heart
swelling with emotion, again he
said to his courier "Go then, to Gen.
Cockrell (who was the youngest
brigadier in, the Confederate Army
and give him my love and ten. him.
that / ask at his hand that fort in
the locust grove" Off he went the
third time, finding the young Mis-
sourian said, "Gen. Cockrell, Gen.
Hood sends you his love and asks
at your hands that fort in the locust
grove from which his men are receiv-
ing such a CALLING fire." The young
Missourian straightened~ himself up
nj his stirrups and cried with loud
voice: "First Missouri Brigade at
tention." And every man stood in his
place with brows knit, teeth clinched
and every nerve contracted, waiting
for the second command. Soon it
came ringing down the line as upon
electric wires: Forward, double
quick, march," At the same time the
rebel yell rose, from four thousand
throats. Across the meadow they
went, sweeping the field with the bay
onet and capturing the fort with it's
contents of men and guns.
After the fort had ben captured,
Gen. Ccckrell mounted his horse and
rode back over the field where the i
gallant charge was made. Looking at
the. slaia, she called his courier to his. i
side anlI with Years lag stream sdegg s.
and give him my love and say to
him that present to him the Federaf
fort in the locust grove, but it cost
the best blood that the State of Mis-
souri, had to take it"

Death of Capt. S. B. Hughes.

While not altogether unexpected,
yet the announcement Tuesday af-
ternoon in Edgefeld of the death of
Capt. S. B. Hughes at his home seven
miles north of Edgefeld caused
much sadness among his friends. On
account Of failing health, his visits
to Edgefeld became fewer and few
er during the past year and his
friends have missed his hearty hand
clasp and cordial greeting. During
his long illness Capt. Hughes was min
istered to untiringly and with beau
'tiful devotion by his loved ones, re-
ceiving also the best medical atten-
tion. But nothing could stay the pro
gress of the disease, catarrh of the
stomach, which sapped his strength
and vitality for nearly a year.
Capt. Hughes was in his 74th year
and his passing away makes another
gap in the steadily diminishing ranks
of Confederate veterans. Although
mere lad at the time, too young to

Death of Mrs. Minnie Lanham.

After very brief illness Mrs.
Minnie Lanham passed away at her
home one mile from Belvedere Sat-
urday morning. Although she lived
beyond the borders of the county, she
was reared in the Roper's section and
regarded as an Edgefeld woman, be
ing as tend derly and wide ely beloved
as If She had lived among US. Mrs.
Lanham was a daughter of Mr.. M. D.
Lyon of our town. She became a vic
tim of pneumonia and succumbed to
the dread disease in about a week
after she was taken. Since the death
of her husband, the lamented James
Lanham, about seven years ago, she
has been both mother and father to
her three bright children, managing
her farm and dairy, with the assist
ance of her son, with marked sue
cess.
Besides greeting with a smile, she
always had word of cheer and
kindliness for those she met. which
caused her to have wide and stead
lily increasing circle of friends. Mrs.
Lanham was a devout Christian, her
membership being with the First
Presbyterian church of Augusta. Her
pastor, DR.. Sewer of Augusta. con-
Quoted the funeral at Sweetwater
church Sunday afternoon. She is
survived by three children, a son,
Christie Lanham, II years old, and
two daughters, Patsy and Annie, 13
and s years, respectively. The two
little girls are here with Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. D. Lyon and may make their home

The outline given above is all that
is necessary to get the orchard start
ed. Let's have an orchard on every
farm, raise our fruit as well as other
things to eat at home.
Work on the old orchard should be-
gin at once, and should consist of
thorough and careful spraying, prun-
ing, worming and cultivating. Why
these operations?
1. Pruning.-Preserves the life,
health and vigor of the tree by re-
moving dead, diseased and interfer-
ring branches, concentrates the
growth into the fruit forming branch
es and encourages new wood growth
in support of the next crop of fruit.
2. Spraying-Safeguards and pro-
longs the life of the tree by repelling
insect and disease attacks, and de-
creases the per cent of decayed and
wormey fruit. However, it must be
clearly understood that different
pests require different sprays and
that the winter application of spray
lis mainly for preserving the life of
the trees.
s3. Worming-"No legs no horse;
no root no tree" Therefore the
worms that burrow into the roots of
the trees (the' presence being indi-
Gated by sap exudation or jelly near
the ground in the peach and plum
and yellowing of the apple and pear)
must be dug and cut as spraying does
not control this insect.
Al Cultivation-Aids in destroying
weeds and grass, reduces the hsrbor-
ing places for insects, makes plant
food available and encourages tree
growth.
If you are interested in fruit grow
ing, either on small or large scale
write, phone or ask your county
agent or banker concerning "0rchard
Week" and arrange to attend some
of the field demonstrations that will
.be given in pruning and spraying in
the various counties during gSSthe, week
assslo richard eeksss 7tIsh
will be either the first or second week
of January.
"There is only one thing that pays
better than good sound knowledge
of orchard management; and that is
to use it." Therefore, let's get behind
this movement and make the orchards
in this county the best in the State.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The opening

Your County Agent About
"Orchard Week"

When planning the Orchardjs there
is one thing that farmers should bear
in mind. The orchard requires at
tention and must .eive such, else
all trees and vines put out will soon
go like thousands of others have done
in the State, and all the farmer gets
for his labor and money put into the
trees is a case of disappointment.
We urge you to give the trees fair
trial and see the results The methods
of caring for an orchard are indeed
simple and inexpensive and any far
mer in the State who is not thorough
ly familiar with the methods, will get
in touch with the county agent or
drop him card and asking for the
information this will gladly be given.
The profits will greatly exceed the
expense.
The work to be done this fall and
winter can be summed up briefly as
follows:
1. Select the site for. the orchard,
which should be on an elevated sec
ton, not a high hill, but simply, as
the farmer would d'speak of it, little
knoll. This gives good air. drainage
and also lessen the danger fo frost.
2. Prepare the soil thoroughly be-
fore setting the trees. Break deep,
following with a cutaway in order
to get the soil as fine as possible. 1t
is better to do this from two to four
weeks before the trees are set out.
8. When setting the trees, If soil
is not in good state of fertility, 1t
will be we'll to haul a little woods
earth to place about the roots. II
this cannot be secured, get a little
barnyard manure and thoroughly in,
corporate with the soil that is placed
around the roots. This will enable
the trees to grow faster the follow
ing spring.
A. Be sure to dig the holes in which
the trees are placed deep enough to
allow trees to be about two inches
deeper in the soil than they were IN
the nursery row and wide enough to
allow all roots to spread out full
length.
S. Be sure to trim off all roots
that were injured while removing
from the nursery row. Cut them OFT
just back of the bruise, leaving a
smooth cut. This enables them to heal
quicker and also lessons the danger
of diseases. Also trim off all small
branches and in case of peaches, cut
them off from Is to 18 inches above
the ground. Apples should be cut off
about two feet above the ground.
6. Give the trees the proper dis
tance. The following distances do
well for the home orchard: Peaches,
1s feet each way; apples, 80 feet
each way;. pears same as apples;
plums and cherries 20 feet each
way; blackberries and dewberries;
make rows feet wide and set three
feet in drill; dewberries are often
planted and grapes 8 8.
z. The following varieties are rec
commended for the home orchard.
Apples: Red June, Horse, Early Har-
vest, Staymen, Winesap, Shockey,
Ben Davis and Mrs. Bryan. Pears:

Dear Advertiser:

Dear Advertiser: 90
I / am standing at my window writ
ing, for / have had my table carried
down to the stage, and my tall desk
is bulging with every conceivable bit
of theatrical property from artificial
snow, to hats and shoes for the char
acters. In such country as this
where real snow is to be had it seems
that we would not have to resort to
anything artificial, but there is such
a thing as a, scene being too realistic,
to be artistic.
Since the landing of the Pilgrim
Fathers and the First Thanksgiving
are such closely allied subjects, / am
arranging some Puritan scenes to-
morrow afternoon before a Hugh
School audience, and / feel as re-
sponsible for every move the students
make as though Belasco himself were.
to be the critic. y.
> l have the queerest feeling about
it, as though the performance were.
all over, and a sort of deadly calm
possesses my soul, a feeling Of COM
pletion, as though / had already
married John Alden to. Priscilla with
my own prayer book and sent them
away to live happily and coldly ever
after in the frost and snow of New
England winter.
After seeing miniature turkeys
and pumpkins in shop windows for
weeks. before Thanksgiving, one be-:
gins to think that the day of celebra-
tion is over by the day it arrives. So,
it is with preparing for any occasion.
The thrill of preparation makes the
final event sort of unworthy anti.
climax or aftermath.
The very sidewalks themselves
here would make an admirable Pu-:
ritan setting, for the trees are COW,
cred with hoar-frost, frozen in such
a way that it decorates them like
cactus spines.
If one wishes to, he may imagine
himself anywhere and fairly believe
himself there, for snow so transforms
a place that it is scarcely recogniz-5
able.
1t seems to me that since August,
when 1 was in Edgefeld whole era
of human history has passed as
though in August 1 had lived in the
stone age and am now passing
through the glacial period.
"But the world is so full of nuns.
hersof things 10 ~
7 think we should all be as happy as
kings"
Il am. 1t is strange how a quota
ton sometimes loses it's value, for
few of us today would be willing to
exchange our moderate joys for any
happiness possessed by king, who
may any minute have his crown
changed to a symbol of scorn.
Tomorrow; Thanksgiving, the
woods will be filled with gay, red
coated and red-capped hunters, with
rubber boots and many guns, chasing
frightened deer through the forest.
The lakes here are frozen and along
their shores are tiny cabins where
rowing hunters cook their meals and
bring the spoils of the chase. Some
of these woods are primeval pines
and hemlecks like those through
which John Alden and Priscilla walk
ed to church.
