Foretells own Death.

J. w. Saxon Of Waynesboro, died
suddenly. He leaves a wife and three
daughters and several grandchildren.
The strangest thing about his death
is the fact that lie some time ago
sent for his daughters to come home,
claiming that he was going to die in
March. Mrs. G. II. Taylor, who lived
in Oakland, CAL; Mrs. Collins Of Lit
tie Rock, Ark, aud Mrs. R. L. Nc
Gahee, Of Meridian, all came home,
and as he was in his usual health ap-
parently they attached no Importance
to his belief that he was going to die,
and they were all in Mobile, Ala, on
short visit. He had a congestive
chill, but was apparently getting along
all right, and his physician left him
to attend to other patients, when he
was found to be in a dying condition
and died in a few minutes. He was
at one time County Treasurer OF
Wayne county.

other progressive step Of Broussard.
In fact, the growth Of Broussard since
Dec. 26, 1905, has been nothing short
OF marvellous. From a dull and quiet
place to that date it has grown 50
since that time-the date Of its incor-

residences costing about $500, a
bank with an earned surplus Of over
Ia per cent within the year; school
Of three teachers in 1906, now has

be something fearful BE this true
or not, the people of the delta un-
doubtedly have an effective weapon
with which to fight the weevil. Ac-
cording to the theory of Mr.. Reinlein
of Illinois, who writes a great deal
on the subject, all the delta people
have to do, is to trap the adults into,
alternating in the fields and turn the

may be good and it may not, but it
is worthy of investigation to say the
