Dewitt County Citizens Want
Protection From the Pest.

Cuero, Texas, February 10
The cotton growers and mer
chants have become consider
ably alarmed at the ravages Of
the boil weevil in some of the
western counties. A meeting
was called yesterday to take
some action with reference to
the matter.
Mr.. A. F. Palmie, who had
travelled considerably in the az
fected regions, estimated the
damage at fully 80 per cent.
The meeting adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Cuero, Texas, February o.
At mass meeting of the cit
liens Of Dewitt county held at
Cuero, February 8, 1895, the
the following resolution was
adopted:
Whereas, Cotton growing is
the principal agricultural liz
dustry of Texas, and the founda-
ton upon which the business
interests and prosperity Of the
State depend; and
Whereas, A recent coInmuni-
cation to the governor Of this
State from the department of
agriculture, as well a5 reliable
information derived directly
from the territory affected,
shows that the Mexican cotton
weevil, or boil worm, has within
the last year made its APP
pearance in the country lying
between the San Antonio and
Rio Grande rivers; and
Whereas, This pest if not ar
rested in its progress by heroic
measures during the approach
ing season threatens to oyerrun
the entire State and blast its
prosperity; therefore it is here
by
Resolved, by the citizens of
Dewitt county in mass meet
ing assembled, That the legis-
lature now in SESSION be earn
estly requested to provide ad-
equate means forpreventing the
further spread, and, if possible,
the stamping out of his pest.
And we respectfully suggest
that true economy, as well as
self-preservation, demands that
such measures be authorized
and provided by law as will
insure the prompt and effective
destruction of every cotton crop
in the State, where this pest
may appear; and that provision
be made for vigilant inspection.
To defer action is to invite a
calamity which we know to be
imminent and we have reason
to fear irreparable.
So far as we are informed the
San Antonio river now marks
the eastern boundary OF the in
tested territory. and we suggest
it as a base line CT defensive
operation.
Resolved, That a committee
of three be appointed by The
chairman Of this meeting, whf

DUTIES OF PARENTS.

Treatment Of Children.
That mother is fortunate who is en-
abled by quick intuition to read Alright
the disposition Of her children and
guide them with never-failing tact
from the shoals in their path. Such a
mother holds the respect as well as
the love of her children her lifetime.
Though they have risen to high places
and she pursues what are lowly ways
in the worlds esteem, they still go
back to her with the same delight with
which in childhood they came home
from school. She is the one mentor
who has touched the secret springs of
their nature, and with whom there is
rest from all the conflict, turmoil and
jealousy Of the world. It is this type
of mother, ever ready to sacrifice her
self to the interest of her child, yet
ever commanding its REVENGE and re-
spect. which represents the ideal moth
erhood which is revered by all.
No woman who has children to rear
can afford to become drudge, merely
to care for their food and clothing, and
take no thought for the better part of
life. She must share in the Intellectual
and spiritual growth of her children in
order to keep apace with them. 1t is
just as much the parents duty to live
in such a way that their children will
honor them as it is the duty of the
child to obey the commandment to
honor his parents. There are great
many parents. worthy people. ofttimes
filling worthy places in the worlds
- IL
children as mere adjuncts to them
selves. They appear to think that the
fulfllment of their responsibilities ac-
cording to the letter of the law entities
them to endless honor and gratitude.
Such parents are likely to be disap-
pointed. They have done no more than
the brute mother. who provides for her
offspring until it is able to take care Of
itself and asks no reward but the graf
ifcation of maternal instinct. The hu-
man parent for what is practically the
same thing demands the slavish devo
ton of life. Only SO far as mothers
and fathers become noble exemplars.
parents in higher sense than that OF
earthly parentage, can they expect the
honor of their children. Little is said
of the duties of parents, while much
is written and preached of the duties
of children. The mother who makes
her daughter a sort of mental to wait
upon her whims, ally with the
mother who becomes drudge to
crafty the selfish impulses of her
child, is to be condemned. Such
mothers imagine their daughters are
ungrateful if they fail to honor and
Sc eli L,k
can be given to such a mother, and
sometimes pity. To the mother who
is her daughters noblest friend and
dearest confdant is given that honor
that neither slave nor taskmaster can
command. 1t seems inexplicable that
mother should consent to become
either the one or the other.-N. Y.
