Tons of Bean Seed.

Last week The Advertiser announc-
ed that Is bushels of bean seed had
been ordered through the Edgefeld
Produce Exchange. We intended to
say Is hundred pounds instead of 15
bushels. The fact is the order has
since been increased to 4,20O pounds
of beans for planting. This together
with the car load of seed Irish pota-
toes that were recently received rath-

In Memoriam Mrs. Ida S.
Stevens.

On October 1st, 1921, Mrs. Ida S.
Stevens was called from her earthly
home to her heavenly reward at the
age of 72 years. Her life was one of
service and obedience to the Masters
will. We thank our Heavenly Father
for this long and useful life spent
in His honor and glory.
She comes of godly ancestors, and
in early life united with Stevens
Creek Baptist church, and remained
a consistent and loyal member of
this church until she was called to the
General Assembly and Church Of the,
First Born, which is in Heaven.
no The world she met the standard
|of 4 foilIower:eof Jesus Chr Glharist In her
home she was recognized as the
spiritual leader. Her home was mod
ell Christian one, where the ordinanc-
es of God were reverenced and obey
ed. The. Bible and the religion it
teaches had the central place, and
religious atmosphere pervaded all.
They dispensed a liberal hospitality,
and it was a joy to be their guest.
One scarcely knows how to write Of.
such ar unusual Christian character,
whom TO know was to love. Those
privileged to know her intimately,
knew her pure, unselfsh life, as she
lived it day by day going about her
Masters business.
Our church has suffered great
loss, but it is her gain. But while the
death angel could bid her body cease
to move, it could not touch that noble
Christian influence that is still work
ing with US. May we catch the vision
of service such as hers.
Realizing the we'll nigh irreparable
loss which our church and Sunday
school and community sustain in the
death of this good woman, and de-
string to pay tribute though made
quate to the memory of our departed
sister, therefore be it resolved:
First, That we bow in humble sub
mission to the will of Him who doeth
all things well.
Second, That we render praise to
our God for the influence of this
beautiful life among us, and we ac-
cept it to make our lives nobler and
to render better service in our church
and Sunday school to which she gave
herself so faithfully.
Third, That a page in our record
book be set apart to her memory, and
a copy be sent the Baptist Courier,
the Edgefeld Advertiser and one to
the family.
Done by the church in conference,
January %, 1922.

Meeting of, w. C. T.U.

On Monday afternoon, FeDruary
9th the w. C. T: U. held their month
ly meeting with Mrs. j. R. Scurry
with large attendance y
Mrs j. L. Minis presided over the
meeting and Mrs. E. ]. Norris con-
Quoted the devotions, Mrs. G. E. May
acting as pianist.
Mrs. Minis gave some information
at large on the general benefits of the
prohibition law and the decrease of
crime and improved conditions even
in the large and congested centers,
and stated that there was great room
for encouragement. Every effort on
the part of liquor advocates have
failed in the national congress, and
the bill which had as its intention the
prescribing of wines and beer as
medicines by physicians, was killed
by large majority The physicians
themselves were opposed to the bill,
as replies to a QUESTIONABLE directed
to the physicians of the United States
were largely against the use of beer
and wine as medicine.
- Thes sagisrs, bonus bill the money
for which the liquor advocates de-
sired should come from a tax on beer
and wine, has also come to naught.
Mrs. w. A. Byrd made the report
on the box and money which was sent
to the Door of Hope in Columbia at
Christmas.
Mrs. B. E. Nicholson made the re-
port from the treasury, and read the
names of nany who had paid their
dues up to the present time.
In general discussion of local af
fairs in reference to law enforcement,
a number of women expressed them
selves as much concerned over the
lack of law enforcemnt both as to the
prohibition laws and the Sunday
closing law and that their young boys
are being subjected to unusual temp
tation by the quantity of the bever-
age which seems to have found its
way into our town.
They passed resolutions again call
ing on the mayor and council and the
sheriff respectively to enforce the
laws in our town and county.
Misses Hammie and Lucy Scurry
sang two beautiful selections as duets
and Mrs. Scurry served coffee and
several varieties of sandwiches.
Plans were made for increasing
membership, and committee ap-
pointed to prepare a year book be-
ginning with the March meeting.
An interesting incident was the
fact that when the suggested hostess
es were read out for the ensuing
year, everyone was present and
agreed to entertain at the appointed
time.

Of dipping and quarantine regulations,
and has refused to complete the work
of tick eradication in herds, on premi-
ses and In localities held under local
quarantine at the time the federal
quarantine was revoked in December,
1920. For this reason it has been nee
essary to requarantine Taylor county,
There is in effect In Georgia state
regulation which provides that all cat
tie going through the dipping vat shalr
be marked with paint at each dipping.
This regulation has been of great as
sistance in facilitating Decentralization
work. Range riders, whose duty it is
to pick up any cattle not marked with
paint, are employed in each county.
Updipped cattle are taken, to the dip
ping vat and dipped at the expense of
the owner, or If the owner cannot be
found, they are treated as strays and
sold for the expenses incurred In their
gathering and dipping. To this sys-
tenn, the Department of Agriculture at
tributes the satisfactory results In rid
ding the state Of ticks. In fact, 1t is
said there are fewer undipped cattle
In Georgia, In counties in which tick
eradication Is being carried on, than
In any other state.
The Importance Of freeing the South
of ticks Is emphasized by the increase
In the number Of markets which are
being closed to ticky cattle. Follow
ing a resolution recently passed by the
Maryland state board Of agriculture,
prohibiting the shipment Of ticky cat
tie into the state for any purpose, the
Department Of Agriculture has issued

BIG VALUE OF HOME ORCHARD
No Excuse for Country Home Not Hav-
ing Supply Of Fresh or Canned
Fruit All Year.

The value of properly cared-for
home orchard can hardly be overesti-
mated. Frequently the only value at
tached to a home orchard is the fruit
harvested. No doubt this is very i'm
portant but would not be the only fac
tor to be considered.
In the chicken lot, fruit trees will
make good shade, as well as around
other parts of the premises. A home
with lots of nice trees around 1t looks
much more inviting.
The educational value Of a home
orchard Is worth consideration. The
setting out and caring for the trees Is
instructional and, again, learning the
variety characteristics Of the different
pie simply know that plum is plum
and q peach is peach and do not
have the least idea of what the variety
is.
1t is a recognized fact that fruit Is
healthful. In case of the more perish
be obtained from the home orchard.
Where the fruit Is raised at nome IL
will be eaten more often and In greater
quantities. A properly selected list Of
varieties of peaches as regards avail
able space and favorable season, would
furnish you with peaches from June to
October.
The scarcity and high prices Of fruit
should certainly stimulate the planting
Of home orchards.
The surplus fruit can be dried,
canned and sold. Good fruit usually
commands good price. Frequently in
towns where the trees are more or less
protected by the houses, these trees
will bear more fruit, where the COM
mercial orchards fan. This is when
the fruit is appreciated and when the
surplus sells for a good price.
There is no excuse for a country
home not having a year-around supply
