THE CURRANT WORM.

The currant-worm, nasty green crawler
which has destroyed most of the currant and
gooseberry bushes in the State, falls victim
only TO hand picking and white hellebore; and
to the latter, only when the bushes are so
thoroughly busted with it that he cannot eat
them without swallowing it. Sometimes,
large numbers of these worms may be shaken
from the bushes into o pan held beneath them,
and then destroyed. If hellebore is relied on,
it must be renewed after every rain.

The canker-worm has been for years in
few sections Of the State, the worst foe with
which apple-trees have had to contend. It is
most voracious william, and will strip an Or
chard OF its foliage in remarkably short time.
The eggs from which the canker-worms are
laid late in the fall or early in the spring, by a
wingless female moth, which ascends the
trunk of the tree, and the only way to pre-.
vent their ravages is to prevent the ascent of
this moth. The eggs, if they have not already
been Matched by the heat of the past few days,
may now be found in clusters upon the ends,
OF forks, of small branches. They are short,
shaped like cylinder and have dot in the
centre.

is small. and the small, white worm eats it's
way TO the core, then the apple falls; the
worm escapes, goes through its TRANSFORMED
tons, natures, and lays eggs upon the half
rlpened fruit or remains as chrysalis until
spring, where it may now be found in thin
shell beneath loose bark. These cocoons
should be destroyed wherever found. In Jul
ly and until September, this insect may be
trapped by binding bands of hay or wooden
cloth or fiat hoops about the trees; the larvae
crawl beneath these, and spin their cocoons of
silk. The bands should be removed eyery few
days and the cocoons gathered and burned,
But we doubt whether there is any more eff
iective way to fight this enemy than by de-
stroying him in the windfalls which he has

He is now at work, and a close examination

him to death with wire; and, no matter
how much cutting of thetree it takes to do
this, it should be done. Better half cut the
tree down than to leave three borers in it.

nusiness for Ladies.

Our attention has been called to a new
article for the Hse Of ladies, the invention of
which has conferred an everlasting blessing
upon every lady. We refer to the Queen
City skirt suzpenders for supporting ladies
skirts, the most desirable and beneficial erti-
Gle ever invented for the relief of women,
many of whom have suffered years of miser-
able health caused solely by carrying the
weight of number of heavy skirts, COM
pleteiy dragging them down. Something to
support ladies' clothing is absolutely neces-
sary. These suspsndsrs are recommended
BY cur leading physicians to ali ladies and
young girls. Every lady should have them.
They are sold only through lady agents.
A splendid opportunity is offered to some
reliable lady eanvasser Of this county to Sc
cure the agency Of q pleasant and profitable
basiHess. For terms and territory write at
once to the Queen City saspender company,

thily and satisfactory filed by him.
lie is qualified for it ina pre-eminent
degree, and we are assured it would
be acceptable to him. We know his
selection would receive the most hearty
approval of the bar and the people
throughout the State. In this sec
ton when we speak of his friends, we
mean all the people. The Attorney
General win be selected by the Judges
of the Supreme Court, four Of whom
have been associated with Judge
Snsed for eight years past, and the
fifth, the Hon. w. f. Cooper was
Sneed's competitor for the Attorney
Generalship before the people some
twenty-five years ago. By the selec-
ton of Judge Sneed, the State would
secure u competent officer, and the
Judges have the opportunity of rem
dering graceful tribute, four Of them
to their old associate, and the other
to n worthy competitor in the days
when both were young. When the
public interest and the public feeling
and the feeling of the actors so happi
ly converge, we can say emphatically
il is most fitting thing to be done
and all the people say, Amen.

TROUBLE AHEAD.

We have seven Democratic candi-
dates and one Republican for Circuit
Court Clerk. Nineteen hundred
Democratic and thirteen hundred Re
publican Votes are usually polled in
Hardeman, and presuming that the
seven Democratic candidates will di-
vide the Democratic vote, this will
leave Mr.. Barrett to get the Republi-
can vote which will elect him.
We do not intend to say word in
derogation of Mr.. Barrett, personally,
but we claim right to deal with him
as the representative Of the Republi-
can party in the coming local election.
We have travelled far and near over
the county and from information gath
cred from intelligent sources we are of
the opinion that very large majority
of the colored people will vote for Mr.
Barrett, thus electing him by hand
some majority. 1t is no use as Demo
Gratis to shut our eyes in the face Of
danger. Let us meet the issue in a
self-sacrifcing spirit and not push
ahead indiscreetly and court defeat at
a critical time in the history of the
party in this section. If Barrett is
not confronted by solid Democratic
vote on some one candidate, he viii be
elected. His election will be the nu-
cleus around which the Republican
party will be reorganized in the coun-
ty and give us trouble in the fall cleo
TONS
We suggest that the Democratic
Executive Committee of the county
request the Democratic Circuit Court
candidates to meet them for confer
ence on this subject to see if they can
not be induced TO withdraw in favor Of
some one whom they may select or tc
decide to settle upon choice by pri
mary election. We have no time tc
DELAY this matter. The committee
should act promptly for the good OF
the party.

THE DEVILS DANCE.
WALKING Denounced as a Sin and Scandal
by the Bishop of Virginia.

In the Episcopal Convention
recently in session in Lynchburg,
Va, Bishop Whittle delivered an
elaborate annual address,in which
he earnestly deprecated the evils
of round dancing. Referring to
the address of his venerated pre-
decessor, Bishop Johns, in 1872,
he said that distinguished divine
warned communicates against
the inconsistency of indulging in
"a demoralized dissipation which
he denounced as "that lascivious
mode of promiscuous dancing
styled the round dance" This
scandal he said, sis not to be toll
Grated in the Church of Christ.
Let every appeal be made in the
way of affectiOnate remonstrance
judicious reaching and earnest
prayer for the reformation of
those led astray, if God perad-
venture will give them repent
ance. If ali such efforts prove
unvailing to remove the scandal
and awaken the offender to a
sense of his sin and danger, and
1t becomes necessary to resort to
the exercise of a decided discip-
pine, it must be done" | adopt
this language as my own, that
he, being dead, may yet speak on
this important matter. Perhaps
his words struck some as being
too strong and harsh when they
were first uttered who think very
differently now, after six years
observation and experience. Ger
tain it is that many of our wisest
and best people, ministers and
laymen, judging the tree by the
fruit, have become alarmed lest
the effect of this dreadful evil of
round dancing shall be not only
to injure pure and undefled reli-
gion, but even to sap the very
foundations of all social virtue
and morality.
l will not discuss its character
and consequence, for while st.
Paul wrote to the church In Eph-
esus that it was a shame even to
speak Of those things which were
done by some in secret, l should
feel ashamed even to speak as
the truth would require of this
thing which is done openly, be-
fore all. l will only say that |
trust no man or woman will be
presented for confirmation who
means to continue to participate
in this abomination, and if the
ministers Of the church have no
authority to discipline communi-
cants as notorious evil doors who
practice it, surely this council
should not fail to clothe them
with such authority by canon.
This portion of the address was
referred to committee which re-
ported a canon forbidding the
holy communion and confrma-
ton to persons who habitually
indulge in round dancing. Under
the rules it required a twO-third
vote to pass it at this session,
and the canon was defeated.
Resolutions were, however,
adopted, deploring the sinful
practice, and arguing that it be
discontinued by all good mem
bers Of the Episcopal church.
