Humboldt, Tenn, Sept, 15-The
dreaded boil weevil which has de-
vastated much of the cotton terri
tory in the West, in Texas especial
ly, has made its appearance in this
part OF TIE country, and is exciting
no little concern among the cotton
growers. r. t. Birdsong, who
owns farm in the Sixteenth Dis

town few days ago handful of
cotton bowls which had been rid
died by the weevil. This is under
stood to be the first recorded APP
pearance of the weevil in West
Tennessee, and it is to be hoped
that means of coping with it will be
discovered before it gains any con-
siderable foothold.

CONDUCTOR WHEDON
Is the Only One Who Carries Prcsi-
dent Fish on This Division.

The Nashville Banner tells this
story showing why Conductor John
Whedon, one of the neatest, hand
soonest and most popular of the llli-
nois Central conductors, always has
charge of President Flsh's special
train when it passes over this di-
vision of the road:
"Supt. II. j. Scheuing, OF the Nash
Vile division of the Illinois Central,
has returned from Louisville, where
he went with President Fish and
party. He tells an interesting story
in connection with Conductor John
w. Whedon, who carried the special
train from Princeton TO Louisville.
Several years ago, when the Illinois
Central absorbed the old c. o. & s..
w. President Fish and party made
frequent trips over the road, and that
time Mr.. Scheuing had charge Of the
division. Wishing to show of the
equipment and men, he put Con-
ductor Whedon, one of the best men
in the service and imposing person
ality, in charge of the train. The
obliging conductor made a hit with
the officials, and ever since that time
President Fish has been carried over
that division by this same conductor
who is well liked and personally
known to nearly every patron Of the
Illinois Central between Princeton
and Louisville"
