dark and setting a lamp so the
light would reflect through the
opening into the yard, attracted by
the light they flew into the window
and we're easily captured. Two
specimens that 1 placed in a box de-
posted a batch of cream colored
eggs How long these moths live
am unable to state. Several that
placed in room where they
could not escape died in from four
to six days. Prof. Riley Entomol-
ogist for the agricultural depart
ment at Washington says that 'the
moth deposits its eggs near the
surface of the earth during the sum
mer and autumn where they hatch
and the young worm feeds unno
ticed till cold weather drives him
under the soil for protrection, from
whence he comes in the spring to
commence his ravages on the young
crops.
Many remedies have been en-
ployed to protect crops against the
ravages of this insect but most of
these remedies fail to be satlsfacto-
ry, either from costing too much to
obtain and apply them or in their
being only partially protective. The
only remedy known to us that will
compensate the farmer for his time,
labor and money expended is the
turning under of all crops of Glow
er, grass and weeds, as are known
to be harbors for these insects, and
this work must be done at a sea-
son that the whole amount vegeta
BILE matter contained on the field
intended for cultivation the follow

posed before winter. The weeds
and grass around stumps, along
gullies, in the fences cor
ners should be destroyed root and |
stem so that there should not be a |
secure depository for eggs or larva
to shelter in winter. Instinct teach
es the insect where to deposits it's |
eggs for the safety and growth of
of the young, and IN every case /
you find that food is prepared as in
the case of bees, dirt builders and
other neft building insects or that
the egg is deposited in or near such
food as is suited to the taste and
will promote the growth of the

The news of Capt. W. F. Bal
lentine's sudden death at Waynes-
boro cast a gloom over the entire
community. The last two years of
his life were spent among this people
and his noble qualities OF disposi
ton and kindness to all had won
the highest esteem and regard from
the youngest to the oldest. He was
a member of the church at this
place and did more for its advance
ment both spiritually and financial
~ than any other man. He was al
so associated with j. f. HarWell
in experimenting the Sunday
school; was teacher of the young
mems class and one of his last acts
in the school was a lecture only a
few Sundays ago that was full of
life and encouragement. The
neighborhood, church and Sunday
school have sustained serious loss
in the death of this noble man, yet
their loss has been his eternal gain,
ard he has gone to reap that reward
that is promised to the faithful.
The neighborhood extend their
sympathy to his widow in her sad
bereavement.
"A good deal of sickness is re-
ported in the community. Those
reported are the wife of the Rev
Benson Seay, Mrs. Larkin Cardin

Public opinion, like whisky
is a good thing in its place but
plays sad havoc when it breaks
down the walls and goes on a ram
page. Public opinion at this time
is certainly on a spree, a rampage
or is in love with some idol of his
soul who has played him false. For
madam rumor is busy weaving the
garments and touching up the
trousseau which public opinion will
assume on the fifth day of August,
next. This trousseau like good old
Jacobs coat is of many colors. The
flling and the wool runs thusly as
to candidates:
Among the candidates one esti-
mable gentleman is charged with
the humous ofFense of being very
wealthy, and another with being
bankrupt. Another gentleman
whose life has been as nearly blame
less as a human life can very we'll
be is charged with being the benefi-
ciary of fund provided by gen
erous people for the su fering poor.
Another is charged with being an
ex-federal officer, and still another
professional fox hunter. Various
other charges Of real or imaginary
misdemeanors are brought against
all or nearly all the candidates.
Most of the charges are absolutely
fa1aa and orrOup1laao Il 10 a die

In this enlightened day when
wire and rails encircle the earth and
inhabitants on the opposite side
of the globe made our Deighhors,
when our country, towns and cities
are teeming with professed chris
tians, and wealth and prosperity
marks every community, is this not
a public reproach, a public insult
to a christian people? When man
becomes a candidate it is the legiti-
mate right of his people to know
who and what he is, but is it an alb
solute Necessity that every deed of
his life must be attributed to a
mercenary motive and his charac-
ter beslimed and besmircbed by the
yilest ISLANDERS all because he is a
candidate for office?
Thank God in this have no axe
to grind, the cause OF no one can
didate to plead, but earnestly hope
my feeble pen may appeal to the
honor Of Giles county, to the
| integrity of her people, to the man
hood of her voters, to stamp down
this slaBderous TRADE on our candi-
dates. Voters, look this measure
squarely in the face, put yourself in
the shoes of these over worked, sun
burnt, care-worn men whose souls
are on the tottering rock Of sus-
pense; then if for nothing else, ia
the interest Of !ecency, and in de-
tense Of our citizenship, stamp
down this TRADE Of Islander.

VIZ. Ballentine Memorial Meeting.

A large number of citizens of Pu-
laski and Giles county met at the
court house last Saturday pursuant
to the suggestion in the CITIZEN
last week to pass suitable resolu-
tions regarding the death of Hon.
w. F. Ballentine. After the ap-
pointment of committee to draft
resolutions the meeting adjourned
till IL o'clock Monday. 1t was
suggested that the matter might
properly be laid before the democrat
ic convention which met here that
day, inasmuch as Capt. BallentIne
was a prominent democrat and was
actively engaged in the work of the
party at the Waynesboro CONVEX
ton at the time of his death. OBJ
lection to this was raised by Capt.
j. H. Morris who said that such
action would debar many republi
cans in the county who would be
glad to participate in any public
demonstration in honor of the mem
DRY of Capt. Ballentine. This view
of the matter wss readily adopted
and it was decided to adjourn to
meet Monday at IL a. m. as mem
orial meeting and without reference
to the convention.
Monday at II o'clock the meet
ing was called to order by S. G.
Mitchell chairman. Col. Scion E.
Rose of the committee on resolu.
tions reported the following sketch
of his life and resolutions concern
ing his death:

ton at Waynesboro called for the
purpose of nominating candidates
for chancellor, circuit judge and
attorney general, was suddenly
stricken down by heart disease and
died almost without q struggle.

o'clock p. M. Tuesday the 29tt
day of June, 1886. He was born

Mace McMillion who lives on
r. H. Laird's place sowed nine
acres of wheat and threshed out
two hundred and thirty seven bush
els, making an average of 26A bush

Owing TO so much rain during
the past month farmers are rather
late getting done their work. There
are still weeds and grass to con-
tend with. Notwithstanding tue
lack of work crops look very prom
ising in this section. If it contin-
ues to rain regularly there will be
great deal of corn made. We do
not remember ever having seen a
better oat crop. Young clover and
grass also look well. Throshing
machines have started. Wheat is
not turning out very we'll 1t is of

the war closed he resumed his mer
camille pursuits and sold goods in
| Pulaski at intervals for seYera
years. During this time he was one
of the board ct trustees of Martin
Female College and by his activi
ty and liberality contributed great
lip to the upbuildiug of this insti-
tuition of learning. While he was a
citizen of Pulaski, he was presi-
dent Of the National Bank Of Pulas
Xxi and spent his money literally in
! the erection of substantial business
houses which added to the beauty
of the town and exhibited his zeal
for the public welfare. For sever
al years PRIOR to his death he re-
sided in the country-frst on his
Bradshaw farm and then at his new
and elegant residence near Buchan-
ans creek where he was residing
at the time of his death. While he
was living in the country and en-
gagged in the quiet pursuits of ag
riculture, the partialty of his friends
and neighbors, his well-earned bus
mess reputation and and his zeal
for the public welfare called him
from his loved retreat and placed
him in the general sembly of the
state where be served the people
ably and faithfully during one SEES
sion of the legislature. He was a
genial companion, the joy and life
of the social circle and always met
his friends with an open smile,
hearty grasp of the hand and words
of cheer and gladness. He was
kind and charitable to the poor and
his neighbor in need ior distress al
ways found in him a hand to help
and heart to sympathize. He was
for many years an active member
of the Methodist church and took
great interest in the enterprises of
the church and the advancement of
the cause of christianity.
Therefore, Resolved, That in the
death of William f. BGllentine the
state and county have sustained the
loss of valuable public servant, the
church the loss of an active and jealous
and the community at large
good citizen and a generous benefactor. |
Resolved further. That we, his sur
viving friends, will ever cherish the |
of his virtues and in all |
the relations OF life we will strive to |
initiate his noble example.
Resolved, That we tender to the des- |
olate and grief-stricken widow and ag-
ed mother of the deceased and his other |
relatives our HEARTFELT sympathy in |
their sad bereavement.
Resolved, That copy of these pro-
ceedings be furnished to the fs mily and
a copy to the Pulaski Citizen for publi- |
cation.
