titled that they caught all the trout,
consequently Peterson did not catch any
under the legal size. 1t was proven at
the investigation that Mr.. Peterson rep.
resented himself to the farmer as a
deputy game and fish warden and had
planted trout in the stream two years
previous and his mission was to ascer.
tain how much the trout had grown
since they were planted. The farmer
placed implicit confidence in Mr. Reter,
sons statements and permitted him to
fish on his land. but he would like pay
for the COW. Mr.. Allen will render an
opinion in the case upon his return from

S~TEGOMYIA'S NAME.

What is the meaning Of stego-
myia fasciata?" This was the quss-
ton that engaged the attention Of .
party of prominent local men in the
st. Charles Hotel. II was finally de-
cided that DR.. Juan Guiterss, who
entered the lobby at that time,
should be asked for his opinion.
DR., Guiteras answered the question
that the others could not answer.
Stegomyia is a Greek word that
means house fly, and fascaita "a .
Latin IVORY meaning stripes, was
the answer of DR., Guiteras, and be
explained that the name was given
by an English doctor years ago. As
a rule scientists desire to avoid
combinations, but this combination
of Greek and Latin is one OF the
many that have crept in.--Timcs-

This item appeared on Monday:
"Married-Miss Sylvia Rhode to

ming at the Baptist Church. The
bride was a very ordinary town girl,
who doesn't know any more than a
rabbit about cooking and never
helped her mother three days in her
life. She is not a beauty, by any
means, and has a gait like a fat
duck. The bridegroom is an up-to-

will have a hard life while they live
together" The editor is still in the

COTTON CROP SHORT.

The cotton crop Of the Delta is
short; there is no doubt on this
point. There is but little top crop
and an early frost would do small
damage on a majority Of the Delta
plantations because the cotton ceased
its work of making forms, blooms
and bolls several weeks ago and the
cotton bolls now on the stalk have
matured. There is however, some
cotton in the Delta that has kept
growing and making" cotton bollS
right along and cotton Of that kind,
which is only a small per cent Of the
crop, would be damaged by an early
frost. The concensus of opinion
among the cotton planters generally
is that the crop of the Delta is forty
per cent short Of a full crop and
thirty per cent short Of the crop of
last year. If crop conditions in the
South, as a whole, are similar to
conditions in the Yazoo-M Mississippi
Valley, the finest cotton growing
section of the South, the Southern
Cotton Associations estimate of
100000 bales is not far wrong, but
it is probable that other sections
have better crops, comparatively
than the Delta. -Greenville Demo
