MRS. MARY A. WALL.
Mrs. Mary A. Wall, wife of ;
Samuel Wall, was born Oct.
14th, 1831, died March 14th, ,
1912. She had lived a few i
months over over the four-score 1
years. She was married twice. | 1
Her first husband was Mr. Glad-1
son, by whom she had five chil-; 1
dren, three are still living. Oniy
one child by last husband, Mrs. j 1
J. M. Reynolds, with whom she i
lived several years after the 1
death of her last husband. The 1
devotion between her and her •
daughter was beautiful. The '•
home was always a welcome one *
for the preacher. I felt when 
she died that I had lost one of I
my best friends. Two weeks 1
before her death I spent the 1
night there. She and her daugh- '
ter asked me many questions 1
about assurance and the higher 
life. She said, "I have longed 1
to go to church and hear you 1
preach, and hope to do so this 1
year. I am much obliged to you 1
for this splendid sermon." At 
my next appointment she had 1
joined the congregation on high t
where the Savior and loved ones
dwell and where we all hope to 1
meet some day. t

A Sure Way to Increase the Corn
Crop.
In the issue of March 9, a very
timely article from the pen of
Mr. A. L. French appears re
lative to the way to increase the
yield of corn. The article
abounds with pertinent hits.
The writer closes with this ex
pressive injunction : "Prepare
your land well before planting."
I desire to supplement that ar
ticle with a few suggestions re
lative to the proper preparation
of a seed-bed for either corn or
tobacco.
The first step disk the ground
thoroughly before breaking.
This will insure a mulch of fine
dirt that will break the capillary
attraction and prevent the es
cape of moisture, and it also
provides a bed of mellow ground
for the little rootlets; but in case
a disk is net at hand and pre
suming the ground was in either
corn or tobacco the preceding
year and bedded, as is the un
thoughful practice generally,
then harrow across the beds
until they are pulled down and
the middles well filled, this pro
cess will produce a fairly good
mulch. Now break the ground
not less than six inches and as
much deeper as possible, thus
turning the mulch to the bottom
of the furrow, but be careful
and don't do the breaking when
the ground is cold and soggy.
The next step—harrow and
harrow until the furface is
thoroughly pulverized—always
going the opposite way from
that of breaking, as one har
rowing crosswise is usually
equal to two in the direction the
breaking was done. We are
now, if the ground is warm
enough to cause the seed to
germinate in five or six days,
ready to plant.
As success depends on the
seed, not only know it is of a
productive kind, but that it will
germinate under favorable con
ditions 95 per cent of healthy
plants. An.ftindifferent stand
THE DANBURY REPORTER
i never produced a full crop, j
By the time the first stalks ap
r pear, go on with a harrow—or,'
f better, a weeder,—and work
directly across the rows about an ;
; inch deep. After waiting not'
; over a week, working again.
These two workings will up
root all the weeds and grass and
, put the surface in fine shape for
- the cultivator. One with three'
. shovels to the gang is much
better than one with only two. !
This cultivation, not deeper than
three inches, should go on once
! a week until the crop is too high
1 1 for the arch to pass over.
Should the weather become dry,
, stir the ground the often and
I i follow the cultivation with a
, 1 one-horse harrow. This will
( keep the surface level and help
I to retain the moisture.

I fixed Hillsville, Va., as the place

; others indicted for the murder
of the Carroll county officials and
who are now in custody. Both
defense and prosecution asked
for a change of venue, the de

Roanoke. Judge Staples decid

defense withdrew its motion and
the judge decided as stated.

pimp'.es, boils, scratches, knocks,
sprains bruises demand it, and
it's quick relief for burns, scalds,
