THE ARMY WORM.
Makes Its Appearance in DOugherty
County and Does Great Damage.

County and Does Great DAMAGE
The army worm, pest of which the
farmers of this section have hitherto
been free, has made its appearance in
this county.
A perfect horde of these worms was
discovered by Mr.. j. r. Pittman on his
plantation about three miles south of
Albany yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Pitt
man has a number of acres in the native
grasses from which he had expected to
reap an abundant crop Of hay. He had
allowed his watermelon patch to grow
up in grass after the melons had been
gathered, and had more than once boast
ed of the fine hay that he would save
this fall On last Friday he walked over
his field, which was covered with luxu-
RANT grass. and was cOngratulating him
self on the bright prospects for an
abundant yield. Yesterday afternoon,
however, the appearance of the field was
quite changed, for instead of the luxu-
RANT grass there were only the leafless
stalks alive with army worms. Mr..
Pittman says that the field is one NOV
in mass of them and that they are there
by the thousands and the tens of thou
sands He says they have eaten almost
every leaf of grass in his field,
They are rather small worms, of
light green color, and very much resem-
BILE the caterpillar.
They have not been reported from any
other section of the county, and Mr..
Pittman says that he believes they came
from the river swamp and that his was
the first grass field they struck. He
says that if they do every other grass
field as they have his there will not be
ton of hay saved in Dougherty county
this fall.
The farmers in the vicinity of Mr..
Pittman's place, 1t is understood, are
much concerned over the appearance of
thus new pest and are anxious to find
some means of checking the destructive
progress of this army of worms.--Alba-
ny Herald.

"The blood is the life" Science has
never gone beyond that simple state =
ment of scripture. But it has given
it a nearing ever broadening with the
increasing breadth Of knowledge.
When the blood is ''bad" or impure it
is not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain is also
clouded, the mind and judgment are
affected, and many an evil deed or inn
pure thought may be directly traced
to the lmpurity of the blood. No one
can be we'll balanced IN mind and body
whose blood is impure. No one can
have wholesome and pure life unless
the blood is pure. Foul blood can be
made pure by the use OF DR.. Pierce

blood is pure, body and brain are alike
healthy and life becomes a daily happi-
ness.

NEWS AND VIEWS.

The Henry County Weekly has a
pretty clear idea as to how the propos-
ed fight on Commissioner Stevens will
end. 1t says: 1.-The Atlanta Constl-
tuition says that Hon. O. B. Stevens,
commissioner of agriculture, will have
strong opposition on account of the
seizure of the vast quantities of kero-
sene oil that did not come up to the re-
quirements of the law. Well, the
Standard Oil Company is great big
trust, taken as whole, but it will find
that the honest yeomanry of Georgia
who have to contend with the sputter>
ing, lamp-exploding, low grade oil
will down it in that game"

The Natchez, Miss, Democrat appeals
to the farmers of the south to hold their
cotton this fall for good prices later in
the season, and in support of its posi-
tion declares that the official reports
show the acreage this year to be
eight per cent less than last year.
Notwithstanding the probability of a
small crop the spectators and cotton
mills are already making great efforts
to create the impression that the crop
is to be an enormous one. Their pur-
pose, of course, is to get cotton cheap
SO as to increase their already enor>
nous profits.

Miss Janet Waldorf reappeared at the
Clunie Opera-house last evening in the
beautiful play "Ingomar" She was
most cordially received and thrice
called to bow her Acknowledgements.
Mr.. McVey's Ingomar was a persona
tion doing him infinite credit, such in
deed as only the intelligence and skill
of the accomplished artist can present
1t was a splendid foil to Miss Waldorf's
Rafthenia Not less artistic was Mr.
McGregor in the unsympathetic role Of
Polydor, the miser, while Mr.. Herman
dez's Myron was a carefully construct
ed, well assumed and correctly read
part. In fact the support was good
throughout and had notable strength
even in the inferior roles of Actea by
Miss Currier, the Timarch by Mr.
Dunn and Lyon by Mr. Adrian. OF
Miss Waldorf's Parthenia the Record
Union" has heretofore spoken freely 1t
has nothing to withdraw from its ini-
tial judgment placing her among the
very best Parthenias and there have
been many. Miss Waldorf is a. natural
artist, blessed by a personality, very at
tractive, a voice of exceeding charm
and comprehension and ability which
will certainly place her among fore
most American actresses. Tonight
the public will be afforded the opportu-
nifty to see her in Shakespearian role
in '.As You Like IT. There ought OF
be, and doubtless will be full house
and the assurance can be given that
there will be no disappointment in her
work in the pastoral comedy of the
great bard, as Rosalind Manager
Ficks says the Opera-house shall be
thoroughly wartnef this evening and
none need fear chilly atmosphere A
notable compliment was paid Miss
Waldorf last evening. Notwithstand-
ing the lateness of the hour, a number
of ladies and gentlemen of refined dra-
matte tastes, returned to the opera
house after the performance and re-
quested to be presented to Miss Wald-
OFF and Mrs. Currier, her tutor and
manager. The result was that
charming impromptu reception took
place in the office of the theater The
visitors expressed to both ladies their
qualification at the work of the star,
and their desire to pay to her the COM
pliment of personal tribute to her abil-
ity, taste and artistic work.
Sunday evening Black PATHS Troub-
adors will appear at the Opera-house.
Miss Jones was here with her company
a year ago and created an excellent i'm
preston She is vocalist of marked
ability. The program will include the
burlesque and jolly farce cat Cay
Coney Island" followed by an olio of
music and comedy, concluding with an
VT xr-I; n ~
and her support will introduce favorite
airs from the standard and the leading
comic operas Ernest Hogan, the pop
ular comedian and composer, is still
with the company, which is a very
large one and embraces a number Of
speciality dancers and clever low COM
edy actors, male and female. Seats
