hopper ravages in California are much

damages to grain by them are mostly
confined to southern portions of San

damage. Young vineyards in the

partially damaged, but bearing vines
have escaped. The pests viii not remain

PARKERsBURG, W. Va, June 8.-The
situation in Jackson County is becoming
serious. A hundred families are on the
verge of starvation, and unless aid is
speedily extended by the remainder OF
the State or the outside world, most
disastrous results may be expected.
Some of the more fortunate and lntiu-
entail people of the county and others,
who believe the condition OF the IN
habitants exaggerated, have heretofore
denied the reports that have from tlne
to time been published. stating mat
things could be tided over till the new
eror could be raised, but now much
alarm prevails, and public meetings are
being held in all villages, and local
papers are printing appeals for aid. Last
week meetings were held at White Pine
and New Kentuck, at which scores of
citizens representing their respective
neighborhoods, testified as to the extent
Of the famine. Many pitiful stories are
being told. Hiram Cobb. owner OF
mill. said people would come at the rate
of dozen day after walking distance,
begging for pint or quart OF meal. and
sometimes bringing half peck OF
grains or few ears of corn to be ground.
He knew men who had gone for five
days without food, and he himself
would soon be sufferer. J. ID: Garrett
said his neighbors were actually starv-
ing. John Smith, county assessor, SAID
that to his knowledge thirty-tive fam
lies were in danger of Starvation at
New Kentuck. An appeal fnr aid was
signed by representatives OF 100 families.
These are but specimen stories. One
family IS said to have subsisted for five
days on lettuce, and when found were
nearly dead.
