CHICAGO SOUTHERN STATES EXPO
SITION.

The State Of Mississippi is already
bestirring itself in anticipation Of the
aforementioned great event. BY leg.
islative enactment the various c0un-
ties are authorized and requested to
subscribe funds for the purpose, the
maximum contribution from each
county being placed at $500. This
State is now afforded a golden OppOr-
tunity Of exhibiting her resources to
the world, and Of atoning for her luke
warmness IN %neglccting a similar
chance at Atlanta.
In view OF the great benefit almost
certain to be derived by the sections
represented, it would seem the part
Of wisdom for the three sea coast
counties to let themselves be heard
from. We respectfully suggest, and
earnestly hope that each Of the three
subicribe the sum Of $500 from the
public funds available for that pur-
pose. AS he who gives promptly,
gives doubly, so will the counties who
first fall into line be among the first
to realize the benefits Of this public
spirited measure.

the SCRANTON PRESBYTERIAN BRICK
CHCRCu.

Editor Dc%mOcrat-Star.
In your issue OF last week you use
this language: ut seems that the
Scranton Presbyterian brothers and
sisters do not dwell together in har-
mony, etc. The brick church is the
rock which caused the split"
As your language is liable to be mis-
understood by those who do not know
the facts, will you permit me to say
that the only difference OF opinion
from the first has been as to our
ABILITY to erect a brick church. All
expressed themselves as DESIRING
such a building, but some OF our
members discouraged the idea because
they believed we could not raise sufi-
Gent funds to build with brick.
Happily. that difficulty has not dis.
cOuraged US all, and the money Is now
all pledged, the church will BE- built
and we will all rejoice together in the
completion.
We have received some much.appre-
ciatcd aid outside of the church, at
Moss Point and elsewhere. We hope
to publish at the proper time the
names OF ALL who have aided in its
erection. Yours very truly,
D. o. BYERs, Pastor.

This insect Is by far the worst pest
OF the cabbage In the South. A ma.
tive Of a more tropical climate, prOba-
oily Mexico, it has gradually worked
It's way nOrthward, and for several
years has been very abundant in this
State. With the increase OF cabbage.
growing for shipment to the early
northern markets and to supply the
home demand, there also comes an in.
crease In the number OF insect pests,
which attack the crop, the hardest 10
get rid of, being the harlequin cab
bagc bug. The insect Is so well known
as to make a description of it almost
unnecessary. The mature Insects are
nearly oval, about an inch long, black
with red markings. The young differ
from these in being less marked with
red, smaller, and with wings. The
insects suck the juices Of the plants.
and attacked plants at first look as II
thep needed water, then turn yellow
and die. They do not form heads II
attacked to any extent.
REMEDIEs.-FOr most insects we
have various spray mixtures and the
like whereby the insects upon plants
can be killed. But this insect sucks
the juices Of the plants and cannot
be reached by the ordinary poisOns.
The insects spend the winter under
boards, etc, and during April fly to
old turnip Or mustard beds. Here
they should be picked of and put into
q pail containing kerosene. II upon
the mustard blossoms they are easily
brushed of into the pail with a stick.
II all are gathered In this way none
will be left 10 the fields to propagate
the species and the fields which would
otherwise be attacked will be free
from these pests. The insects do not
fly readily, so that II Mr.. Jones kills
them of during April In his field, but
few OF the insects will come from Mr..
Smiths field. II. E. WEED,
