Death OF a Former citizen of
THIS Couutv


The Courier-Journal of last Satur-
day contained q notice of the death
of Solomon G. NevilI, who many
years ago was citizen of this coun-
ty, and win doubtless be remem-
bered by many of our oldest citi-
zens. He came to this county from
North Carolina in 1908, with his fla
ther, being then a boy, and settled
out near St. Bethlehem, on what is
now the Dunlop farm, where he re-
sided for many years. Ia 1929 he
married Miss Francis Long, of Lo-
gan county, KY, who still survives
him at very advanced age. After
his marriage he continued to reside
in this county and farm, until 1910,
when he removed to Hickman
county, KY, where he engaged in
buying and shipping tobacco. He
accumulated quite large fortune
in this business and removed to
Missouri, but was driven back to
Kentucky by the war. He moved
to Louisville i'm 1866 and for the
past fifteen years has been one of
the most energetic members of the
tobacco trade in that city. His ca
reer as a tobacco buyer covered a pc
Rod of fifty years, making him the
oldest member of that branch of
in the state and probably
the oldest in the SOUTH He was
seventy-three years old.

Mr.. Earl Wilcox, a railroad car
penter and bridge builder, who fell
from the Red river bridge, between
Guthrie and Cedar Hill, last week
and was killed, was not a resident
of this city, as the Nashville papers
reported. He lived at Guthrie,
near which place he was raised. 1t
was at first supposed by some that
the deceased was Capt. Wilcox,
a we'll known carpenter and build
er of this city, but we are pleased to
state that the Capt. is still in the
land of the living and isn't at all
willing that his friends should con-
slider him dead. He's the liveliest
old man in town.

Army Worm rsavages.

We are informed by gentlemen
from Christian county, KY, that
the army worms have made their
appearance in the vicinity of Long
view, and other localities, and are
doing considerable damage to the
young wheat and rye. After enter
ing a field they make short work of
its contents and leave it in such a
deplorable condition that it has to
be rebroke and sOwed over again.
They have also done great damage
to the growing crops in Trigg coun-
ty, Ky. We have also heard of
their appearance in the garden
patches in this city. We suppose
the first heavy killing frost will put
an end to them.

THE TOBACCO CROP.

w. l.. p, writing from Port Roy
al, in this county, to the Western
Tobacco Journal, under date of the
18th instant, says:
NEARLY all the tobacco IN this
and adjoining counties has been
housed, and the curing process is
now in full blast. Not a single
plant has been frosted in this whole
GAINESVILLE District, but / think
every planter cut more or less half
ripe tobacco, but some are letting
stand just what they can cut and
save in a day or two, and it is doing
we'll, and it will make better tobac-
CO than the early cutting, being
leafy, rich, and heavy. Those who
think the drouth ruined the crop
will be badly fooled when the crop
is marketed. The fact is, none but
the planters themselves know the
true condition of the crop. Some
will run down the crop, and call it
mean, from interested motives. /

and miles from this place who does
that every year-even abuses the
crop of his share workers"
