It la not the object ?( the application of these principle* to produce an abnormal yield of any crop on a single acre at great expense and possible detriment to the land, but to produce a bountiful crop at a minimum coat and at the same time maintain and increase the fertility of the soil. 1. Prepare a deep and thoroughly pulverized seed bed, well drained; break in the fall to the depth of ?igM or ten inches, according to the soil, with im plements that will not bring the subsoil to the surface.

In cultivated creps, give the rows and the plant in the rows a space suited to the plant, the sail and the climate. 4. Use intensive tillage during the growing period of the crops. 5.

Early in the moraine of September 20th just as twilight was fading the air serene and all nature in perfect quiet ness. our Ruler took from ua the life of our dearly beloved sister, Mary. The burial took place at tha family burial ground at the home of her mother, Mrs. H. A. Hines, amid beautiful na ture, a large company of sympathetic friends and a serene hope of glorious immortality, i ? ' -1. The funeral services were impres sively conducted by Rev. G. M. Duke. She became a member of Peach fret Baptist church when she was only sixteen years of age, and has since that time been a constant member and lived an example of true christian life. Sister Mary was sick only three weeks, and she made a wondrous ef fort for recovery, but Providence had evidently decreed that her spirit was needed in the eternal city. God often takes that which is nearest our hearts to bind us to His will. Mary was attractive in person, cour teous and pleasant in her manners, affectionate and kind in her home, therefore she was truly loved by her husband, members of the family, her mother, brothers and s'sters. As the budding flower emits its frag rance to the passing breezed, so did her lovable character pojr its virtuous impulses ints the hearts of others. Mr. Bunn's devotion to his wife, our sister, and her trust and affection for him was beautiful. To the husband we extend our warm est heart-felt sympathy. Some times we are induced to think we are ruled by an uniust King, though we cannot always discern the ways of Providence, yet we must bow in sub mission to the blow, remembering that the ways of Him who doitth all things well are as inacruable as 4hey are wiae. We believe she Is now safely landed . where snowy white crowns ahe will wear and the gates of the city stand open to welcome us there. Her memory will be sweet, how sad to part, From one we cherished so noble and kitld. Bnt Sod will please and comfort ns all, Lets say "Ged's will be done" not mine. A Sohrowiko Sister. ? N.
