Acona Boil -Weevil
Sent in by Stevens

Watt Ford brought to The Times Of

Acona, b full blooded boll-wevil; SO
Mr.. Stevens thought, who placed the

Agricultural Year Book is not true

Jim McRae and others of Acona saw
the bug and agreed with Mr. Stevsns
after most thorough diagnosis.
The Times editor exhibited the wee
vii to several parties who had seen the
Texas variety and all agreed that this
one has the shape, style and bill. but
isn't as large, which may be owing to
its age. We saw several bon weevils
sent from Texas to Capt D. G. Pepper
two years ago, and this one bottled by
Mr. Stevens looks as much like they
did as two blackbirds look alike.
Tom Jordan, who is quite an author
ity on farming matters, sight unseen
pronounced the bug an imposter his
theory being that they are found first
along water courses, and Mr.. Stevens
being on the dividing. slope of Funna-
gusha and Chicopa. was not the proper

Dear Times We make our bow to

thy for them. We know their literary
mind will be shocked very much be.
fore we have finished, but in accor-
dance with the eternal fitness of
things, you shouldn't grumble at our
endeavors, for we are all alike, to a
certain degree.
We remember once when we had to
write an essay our teacher told US if
we had only desire to make our liy-
ing by our pen, we had better raise
hogs. Now, we knew that professor
was just envious and we didn't give a
f'darn for his remarks; but since we
have taken an unbiased look at the
subject, we find he was right.
We were reading an article in The
Times written by Cruger man sign
ed l.. G.. which gave us ), some in
formation. Among the many things
things L. G. said that surprised us
was that f'the farmers were so inflated
with warm air. etc. Now we have
had our abiding place in the Delta
some several times but we II be ding
cd if we ever saw any one over there
inflated with anything except Bud
weiser or Messy Dell mixed with a
few choice cuss words. Then l.. Ct.
goes on to say further that with con
tinued practice the different Holmes
county poets will cause the old classic $
to become myth. Now we know
that all of us are liable to make mis-
takes, but if old Shakespeare were TO
tiptoe up behind some OF tie later day
poets and see the verse they were com
posing, he would Immediately demolish
his monument, buy up AL the books,
etc, he had written, and in fact do
everything to eradicate his name from
the memory of men. Who could blame
him2 IT he wouldn be ashamed to
be called d poet, we are badly mis-
taken.
, Dear reader, if you ever feel an in
clination to write poetry, buy you q
5.eent pencil tablet and cheap pencil,
and writel but if you love the editor,
keep your effusion in your scrapbook
for close friends.
We have been helping to can fruit
today and we enjoyed it fine But

Brother farmers, let us turn over a
new leaf today. Let us redeem our
selves and redeem our lands. Save our
time and money and lay up for rainy

Farmers Union is founded on the same

the north east corner of the public

There is to be four stores on the
ground floor and 24-room, modern
hotel on the second floor.
The hotel is to be steam heated and
to have cold and hot water throughout.
Mr. Hammett will furnish it nicely
and it will probably be conducted by a
prominent and popular Lexingtonian.
The store rooms will be nicely fur
nished and will be among the best in
town
The Merchants 81 Farmers Bank
will occupy the first room on the
corner, which will be fitted with all
the latest conveniences in banking
furniture.
Contracts have been made, or are
being negotiated, for the lease OF the
remaining store rooms
The Cumberland Telephone Company
will have magnificent offices in the
second story and will install com
plete new boards etc, thus enabling
thsir employees to give better service,
If possible, than at present.
The building will be beautiful one
and will add greatly to the looks of
that part of the town.
To complete the deal, Mr.. Hammett
needed sixteen feet more OF land,
which he secured from the Merchants
& Farmers Bank, paying them
81. 500. 90 for the sixteen feet, or nearly
500 per feats -gEsss,iia-$s- SIS. high=water
