Millions of Them Have Appeared, and
Corn and Cotton Are Being

Farmers who were in the city Saturday

from gra hopper plague.
These insects have appeared seeming

the crops.
Corn and cotton have both been at
tackled, ,and in some fields the growing
crops have been almost ruined.
11e insects seem more partial to
cotton, however, and it nas suffered Sc

that Mr.. D. L. Mcneil of near Graves
has two acres of cotton which has been
entirely DESTROYED, having been stripped
of It's foliage and nothing left but the
bare stalk.
There seems TO be no relief from the
pest, and the farmers are becoming
alarmed over the situation.

zone of the very best features of this
feast of pleasure was the commencement
sermon by Rev. j. Howard Carpenter of
Dawson at the Methodist church Sunday
morning. The day Was an ideal one, and
the church was flied to its utmost ca
pacity. Mr.. Carpenter read Psalm 144,
and took as his theme the proper rear-
ing of children as the only sure means of
social and civil perfection. He referred
to the clamor for reform in these affairs,
and said that reform was humbug, the
true solution OF the situation being revo~
lution-a beginning from the foundation,
after dong away with false superstruct,
ure, and building upon the plans laid
down by the Supreme Architect for the
higher and nobler development of l1u-
mainly. His sermon was one full of fine
thought, which he presented in manner
that captiyated his hearers and held
their close attention. Mr.. Carpenter is
an able divine, and impressed our people
as being a man of deep research and
scholarly polish"
