IN MEMORIAM: On January 22nd, 1919, little Mary Annae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Prewitt, fell asleep. She was born November 23rd, 1915, but while she lived was a source of sunshine, gladness, happiness, and joy in her home and to those who knew her. She was very fond of music and was continually singing, especially the little songs which she learned in Sunday School. She has left us, but our lives are richer and better because she was here even tho but for a brief span. By Mrs. P. S. Rogers.

FROM COUNTY AGENT: Several weeks ago I recommended Arsenate of lead to kill the Colorado potato beetle on Irish potatoes. Since that time I have had numerous inquires about where it could be bought here in town. You can get it at Drug Stores.
This is a convenient size for a small home patch, but not economical to buy it in this small quantity if you have something like an acre of potatoes. I will order you a five pound can if you are going to need it for a big patch.
