band Of southern women, the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, have under

this end the Middle Tennessee Chap

some months with which to pay for

plans for raising funds is a Christmas

urday at Harlan & Evans store. They
will have for sale many handsome
articles. the work of the skilled I'm.

Boil Weevil Coming, But''Not This Year.

". W. Bamberg, the government
boil wceyil expert, who has been
on an inspection tour though the
southwestern section of the state,
reports that the weevil has not yet
crossed from the Louisiana shore,
and, while the farmers are feeling
hopeful that there VIII be no in
yasion by the pest this year, at
the same time they realize,that its
coming is inevitable and are max
ing their plans accordingly Prof
Bamberge comedies with the veiw
Of Prop. GlennsW. Herrick, the
state entomologist, that it would
be impossible of the weeyiI to
cause any greatsmount Of damage
to the crop of tile present season,
regardless, Of the rapidity Of its
spread reaching the state, of the

ing recommended by the govern
ment, and within the next ten days
or two weeks open bolIs will com
mence to make their appearance
on these farms. while the general
crop will be in the early stages Of
maturity by the Goth of August
Prof. Bamberge will not venture
a prediction as to the probable
path to be followed by the weevi
after it reaches..the state. Ordina-
rily, however, it would be ex.
pccted TO traverse the I'm Of

On Tuesday last about ! o clock, Ed
Hale, Ct West Point. a negro working
with the bridge crew of the Mobile and
Ohio railroad, under the supervision of
Conductor Hudgins, was killed at the
depot in Macon, by a number of pieces
of heavy bridge timber falling on him.
Death was instantaneous, being mashed
almost flat fromshis head to his knees.
From sConductor Hudgins' statement
to the attending physician it seems that
it has been his custom in unloading cars
to save time by cutting the stanchions
which held the timbers and let as many
rolls off the car as would He ordered
the unfortunate negro to cut stanch-
on, and when he did 50, the weights
against the other three was great a:
to break them, with the result as above
stated. Ed Ttate, a felew- workman
