Collier's. Big Yielil From One Pofaio. A lad in the outskirts of Albany, New York, and only 12 years of age, has made a world record. The State fair board offered a prize for the largest yield from one seed potato. Each contestant was furnished one potato of a special and unusual va riety in his part of the State. Eugene Durant raised and exhib ited 688 pounds of potatoes, twelve bushels, of contest quality and size, and left at home, unweighed, about two bushels of non-exLibitable size. So far as known, this is fully twice the yield ever before known from one potato. Each potato had fourteen eyes. Each of these was planted in a hot bed. When the sprout was about three inches high he cut it off and placed it in the sand, where it took root. Durant then set it out in soil adapted to potatoes. The sprouts kept on growing, and he kept n rooting them and then transplanting them, and great was the harvest thereof .Farm and Fireside. The tow Fea. he time was, say a score of years agj', vhen what are known as corn field peas: sold at 50 cents a bushel. That was what one may call the regu lar1 price for a long tim?. A getle miin ofavery progressive turn of m'-id lived here, he being Prof. W. F. Massey, then of the Agricultural ard Mechanical College Faculty and v.-dl known ail over the United S ?tes. He was familiar. 'with con ditions in the Mi-Idl'j West and re ceived letter.? from farmers there aoi.ing for inform? ti on a? to the best means of restoring tire fertility of len ds which had greatly deteriora ted. He recommended the field pea j an 1 the ahipniout of the3e began promptly. Now it may generally be said that these peas represent something like $3 a bushel, and thev are in great demand. This humble agricultural product is cutting quite a figure in the great West as a land ! improver. Raleigh Times. CASTOR S A For Infants and Children.

II s father's family war. unknown to me, but his mother vvas a daughter of Moses Smith, a well-to-do and influential farmer be fore tlw Civil War, who lived in what now the Roeeneath section of Halifax County. Mi-. Lewis was related to the ell known Savage family, of Nansemond County, Vir ginia, and also to the Kitchins of his native county. In 1865 his parents moved to the native county of his mother and settled near the old Moses Smith homestead. Here Mr. Lewis grew to manhood on a farm, and on No- ! husband and children with tireless energy and singlehearted devotion. To this counle were born two boy3 and six girls, all of whom survive save Mary, who died about two years ago in the prime of early young womanhood. A few years after his marriage Mr. Lewis bought a farm near Scot land Neck, which he occupied and ! cultivated until some ten years ago, ! when he settled in town. His death ; leaves three survivors of the little time I have numbered Brother Lewis among my warmest and most loyal friends. Few, if any, knew him better thn L his fauIts and h'3 vir" j lues Doth.

No man was ever more loyal to his friends or would give what he had more freely for their sake Once convince him that you were his real friend and both he and his were ever at your service. He loved righteousness, truth, and so briety, und endeavored to do the right as it wa3 given to him to see it. He sought the companionship of good people, and had no fellow ship with those whom he counted vicious. He was very fond and proud of his wife and children, and his grief over the death of Mary seemed never to abate, and probably hasten ed his end. He was ever loyal to his church and interested in her welfare. Of his own personal religious experien ce he spoke seldom, but with deep concern and unfailing hopefulness. Death came so suddenly upon him that he left no testimony as to his experience in the last hours of life. But we must believe that the faith ful Master whom he tried to serve through so many years did not fail him in the end. ii. T. V. For Loss of Hair W win pay for what you use If Rexal!
