day in that county for the past two weeks,
and that between twenty and thirty inches
of water had fallen. The cotton worms
had made their appearance on every plan
tation in the county and much concern eA-
listed for he safety of the crop. Farmers
had already commenced picking, and many
would freely use Paris green for the de-
struction of the worm lf
THE Southern Pacific Tom Scott men
have insisted that the International, Rail
road Company was interested in defeating
the bill, as they had flood of land certif
Gates for location. Tue international, it is

fore the Fifteenth Legislature, and as for
certificates, we are reliably informed that
the company has not had one hundred GER
thcates for location the past year.
