Reports from the Big Black neigh

effect that gnats are killing cattle,
mules and horses. At least fifteen
head of stock have fallen victims to

the insect which is doing the dam

claim that it is a gnat which differs
from the Buffalo.
The stock which are bitten by
the insect swell almost to bursting

Experiment Station.

A meeting of citizens of Natchez
and Adams county to devise ways
and means for campaign in the
interest of an experiment station
for this county will be called in the
course of the next ten days.
It is desired that large number
of citizens will take part in the
meeting, though an organization
could be effected with the number
of those who have signi6ed their
readiness to assist In the work.
As has been stated in the Demo
crat the chief object in securing
this experiment station is to estab-
lish a place where the soil of the
hill lands running through Missis-
sippi from the Tennessee state line
in Louisiana can be studied.
This range of hills enters Missis-
sippi just above Lakeview in De
Soto county, passing through the
of Tate, Pamela, Talla-
hatchie, Grenada, Holmes, Yazoo,
Warren. Claiborne, Jefferson, Ad-
ans and Wilkinson.
From this It will be seen that the
station will prove of the utmost
value to the state, as we'll as to the

ROYAL ARcANUM.

Grand Regent Harry r. Ward has issued
this cireula to the membership: Three
months of our Grand Council year have
passed into history. Let each council ask
the question, What efforts are being put
forth TO reach the goal? There Is IN In
finite distance between wishers and doors;
a mere lukewarm desire will never lead TO
activity; we must have confidence, which
will create enthusiasm among our mem
bers TO the boiling point, that the neces-
sity for strenuous, earnest work for the
remaining months left for us In which to
work for the desired 6 per cent. goal will
be more than ever apparent. Don't let
your inspiration grow cold, but nave a
supreme aim In your work to get the 8 per
cent. net gain, which will mean, without
doubt, success. Every council within the
Jurisdiction will be visited by Its super
vising deputy grand regent during these
months, and the grand regent congratu-
lates himself upon having such earnest
and enthusiastic deputies, all imbued with
but one idea, that being to get to work
and use their best eHdeavors to have each
council In their district reach the goal.
Owing to each council being officially
visited in July by the deputy, and having
had many requests from councils not to
visit them during July and August, no
official visitations will be scheduled until
September l. Should any council desire
speakers for council meetings, ladies'
nights or the good of the order, they will
be furnished upon application n due
notice, as the grand officers stand ever
ready to help ont in any way where they
may be of benefit to any council"
