SAM STEWART

| noticed in your last issue, men
ticn of the death of my old friend
and Comrade, Sam Stewart, and |
want to pay slight tribute to his
memory. In the early days of 1861,
Sam Stewart enlisted for the war,
in the famous Madison Tops" an
artillery company commanded by
the gallant Capt Moody, of Port
Gibson, Mississippi, who was assa-
sinated after his return to &;
home. Uncle Sam, as he was called
by the "boys" followed the for
tunes of the Army of Northern
Virginia, participating in the
bloodest battles. The Madison
Tops" composed mostly of Irish
men, left its dead on every battle
field of that glorious army, only
a few surviving it's final surrender
at ApEomatox; of these Uncle Sam
modest, and unassuming, located
ia Rankin County, where he be-
ceme. an honorable, Industrious
citizen, always true to the best in
terest of his State, and the cause
for which he fought. He was a
member in good standing, of RAN
kin Camp, No., 265 U. c. ", and
held in the high esteem, by his
Comrades. He married some years
age, Miss Tempe Coldtrain, who
csne to this country in the 7Os
from North Carolina, with whom
he lived happily till his death on
December 10TH, 1921, aged 80
years. He is survived by his wife,
sisd daughter, Miss Lizzie, now
thu wife of j. H. Singletary, Of
Rankin County. He lead the quiet,
honest life of farmer, and tho
Dcrsessing little of this worlds
ger, ".he was a man for that,
and possessed q noble and manly
heart. am proud to say that ne.

You have heard and read a great
deal about pellagra in Mississippi
during the past few months. For
the benefit of those who fear that
the eating of corn bread will cause
pellagra, the following form Miss
Susie V. Powell, Assistant in Home
Demonstration work in Mississippi
is published Corn bread does not
cause pellagra, neither does our
care syrup or sorghum. When corn
bread is eaten with vegetables
frcqn the home garden and eggs
and milk, there is no danger OF
pellagra It is when corn bread TAT
nl:at and sorghum sre eaten IN too
GREAT quantities and without these
other foods to form balanced ra-
ton that pelagra may appear. II
is the lack of balance IN the 1000
that causes the trouble. Corn
bread never gave anyone p'sllagra,

THIRTIETH YEAR
COUNTY AGENT NOTES

Most every farm in the county
has fruit of some kind and some
quality, but there are only a few
(which have a sufficient supply fer
home demands and home comfort.
Is is a crime in "a sense to neglect
the hcme orchard. There is no de-
partment of the farm life that
gives more profit and comfort
than The orchard, and it is high
time tnat the proprietors Of each
farm were taking new life along
this line
It is time now to put out fruit
tress Of all kinds, and you should
see that your trees delivered and
set by March. In selecting varl-
ties of the different fruits be sure
to have fruits that will ripen
4 throughout the entire summer
y and fall months. BY doing this you
mot only have fruit for the table
every week but you have more
time for canning and curing for
the winter months and for the
market.
Unless you buy from reli2ble
agent, you should send your order
direct to certified nusery. In
this way you will be sure of get
ting what you order, and at low
er price than by patronizing tran
sient agents whose stock you can't
always dspend on.I will be glad to
furnish anyone with list of re-
liable and certified nuseries

SCOT a match2"
How many times a day Is that CUES
ton asked in these United States
How many more times Is the question
unnecessary because most pockets arr
kept well supplied with the useful
little articlef Anyhow, inasmuch as II
is estimated that there are 10000, 900
tobacco users in the country. we would
guess that the answer to that question
would run into the hundreds of mil
lions.
i For II 1t weren't for the smokers In
these days Of electric lights how many
matches would be used7 A pretty
small proportion Of the number OF
these sticks Of blazes" produced In
the country every year. Abolish to-
bacco and the match business would DO
shot to pieces.
! But the match business Is only one
of dozen or more allied industries
which derive large revenues directly or
indirectly from the tobacco trade and
would suffer heavily If national pro-
hibition Of tobacco were to 20 into
effect as some of our reformers would
have 1t. The annual sales Of tobacco
products, based on retail prices, is es-
timated at $685., 100000. or the cost
of producing and selling this quantity
of cigars. cigarettes and other forms
Of the weed. some hundreds Of million
dollars are paid out for other things
than the raw tobacco and labor Of
making 1t up.
$25. Qoo. 900 a Year for Boxes
; For example, the tobacco trade con-
sumes each year 100000 pounds of
iicorice, 5000O,O00 pounds Of sugar,
both used In favoring tobacco, and
$4,000 tons Of coal. 1t Is estimated
that the value Of wooden cigar boxes
used 10 $25.000,000 a year, quite an
Item to the lumber business and 70
manufacturers Of the boxes.
In making these boxes $4,000
pounds Of nails are employed. Other
large items used In making and pre-
pairing tobacco for sale are tin and
lead foil, paper for bags and cigarette
cloth for tobacco bags, la
bells, coupons, ETC., involving the print
Ing trade extensively.
Then building contractors and manu-
facturers Of machinery are largely In
terested. Investments In plants and
employed in manufactur-
ing tobacco are estimated at $1O2, 00O,-
600. Replacement, up-keep and inter-
est on the investment make no small
sum annually.
And let realty men note there are
325,000 tobacco farms
In the country, with total estimated
vafual. "a of $1eO 100000. OF further in
terest to real estate men Is the fact
that there are 100000 retail establish
ments selling tobacco, involving a total
rental and up-keep impossible to esti-
mate, besides the large amount of Of
ice space occupied by administrative
branches of the general business.
