The Piedmont Industrial and Loan
Improvement Company was organic
ed April 1889 instead of 1880. The
Colored people who are interested in
this company found out TO their sat
isfaction thaS this is a good, reliable
company, and they do not hesitate
to do what any sensible people would
do and that is to purchase "A share.
1t is very plain indeed for the most
ignorant man TO see that he is only
laying up dollar for rainy day,
and when that day comes he not
only finds the dollar he laid up, but
that dollar has multiplied and
brought forth more dollars. So you
cannot commence too soon to save
some money. If you take one share
in the company at the end of fifty
months you will have fifty dollars
and all that that fifty dollars have
accumulated. One share is fifty dol
lars paid In monthly installments OF
one dollar. Two shares is one hun
dred, paid i'm monthly installments
of two dollars, and SO Oh. Address

Laborers are very scarce here, work
is plentiful and wages moderately
good considering what they have
been, but good enough to induce the

white laborers to work their farms

than colored. We have no objection

they will have white men to pay.

HOPS AND INSECTS.
Why English Farmers Hail the Advent OF
the Ladybird with Delight.

Why English Farmers Hail the Advent OF
the Ladybird with Delight.
1t is we'll known that hops are an un.
certain crop; they are like cells and
like slip perry sort of people, you never
know when you have got them. Hops
may look to be thriving, and
really be thriving, but that may
be their ruin. The mold comes, and
they are next to worthless. There is a
certain little fly, too, which is very in
furious; it preys upon the vine and
young shoots, and blasts the farmers
hopes. l have seen one of these flies
caught, put into box, and posted to
London to some merchant or factor;
and soon the report went the round of
the papers and the local markets ''Fly
in the hop! Fly in the hop!"
But the fly has an enemy, before
which he is made to fly, or else
is preyed on to his destruction. That
enemy is the rather pretty insect, called
in Kent the ladycow, and in most other
places the ladybird. It is we'll known
everywhere; bnt I never saw so many as
L have seen in Kent.
The farmers hail their advent with
delight, for there is then an end of the
fly, if it has made its appearance, and
physical certainty that the ladycow will
hold the garden against him. Where
these ladycows, or rather ladybirds,
come from l can not say, but once wit
messed a strange phenomenon when on
the Admiralty Pier at Dover, for the
ladybirds were literally rained down
upon the floor of the pier, so that you
could not step without crushing them.
There were legions upon Iegions of
them. Wherever they came from, they
were doubtless bound for the hop dis
tricts, where they would be hailed as a
godsend, as doubtless they were. - All
