Up to tho ississippi

The boil weevil has reached cotton fields in Catahoula parish, twenty-six miles from the Mississippi river, and it's migration for the season is but just begun. The insect pest is officially reported at Leland, in Catahoula par ish, which is about central north and south in Louisiana and about abreast of Natchez in Mississippi. Beyond all doubt the weeyils will reach the west bank of the river before the season is ended, and some observers think they will cross the river this year.
 But if they do not, then the great battle against their advance ill the southeast will come next year, and both Mississippi and the general gov ernment will do wonderfully well if they hold back the pests from crossing the river in 190S Scientists, however, declare the river will prove no barrier, and that their progress will go on un- checked The test will come in Octo- Der and November of the present year, for the annual migration generally ex- tends to forty or fifty miles, and it has just been begun. The eastern cotton belt need not expect to escape the rayages of the pest, for no way has been devised to stay it's march or to lessen it's desire to poison cotton bolls. It is fate marching across continent, and the best opinion is that the field of it's operations will yet extend from the Rio Grande to the Atlantic

BEST HOURS FOR FIGURES.
m the Washington Herald.

From the Washington Herald.
 There has always been a sort of mys- tery as to why the bank clerk enjoys such comfortable hours. He arrives late at the scene of his labors, and departs early. But why? In Great Britain the banking hours are from 10 a. m., to p. m. In the summer time one may see Mir. Clerk emerging from his place of business at the latter hour arrayed in the latest and most approved creation in the way os costume. Why banks should open at 10 and close at we never knew for cer- tain, but there must be a reason for these abbreviated hours, and the following ex- planation has been forthcoming A long time back the Bank of England discov- cred that mathematical errors by the clerks were at minimum in the early morning hours. but progressively increas- ed as fatigue occurred. The worst time was in the late afternoon, and there was that time, that as a matter of economy the clerks were forbidden to work after a certain hour In France, the same law of sequence was brought to light, as was to be expected. There is a-reason for everything and 1t may we'll be that this explanation of the bank clerks short daily hours of work Is the correct one. for certainly working at figures is a most brain -fatiguing pursuit.
