Town Council g..

The town council had a little
meeting Monday morning at which
We are told Scott Kplso were alb
sent
This meeting was not announ-
ced to the public and no one but
the members and the inner circle
knew that the meeting was TO be
held. There was no one TO kick
or disturb the clear sailing of the
council and they made ali their
illegal contracts, which they per-
sist in saying are not contracts
simply to try aud defeat the object
and purpose of the law.
The cart man is employed by
the month, but not only for one
wear but for the full term of the
council All the other contracts
are the same.
The printing contract was also
given out in direct violation OF a
plain and unambigous state Law.
In later issues we shall have
more to say about these matters.

DIR. Hunter Says Weevils Are
Out in Large Numbers
This Season.
b. r. States.

"The boil weevil is making "a
pid progress, and is to be found in
large numbers this season in Tex
as" said DR.. W. d. Hunter, of the
United States Bureau of Entomo-
logy, who is spending a few days
in Baton Rouge in conference with
William Newell, secretary of the
State Crop Pest Commission.
DIR. Hunter is perhaps the high
est authority upon the boil weeviI
in the United States, and has gen.
eral charge for the Federal Gov.
elument of the work against the
pest in the Southern States.
"The weevil is found in large
numbers this year for the reason
that the weather condition have
been in every way favorable. The
winter was mild, numbers went ill.,
to Information, and many came
out"
DR.. Hunter is here for the pur
pose of discussing with Secretary
Newell the plans that are to bt
made for the fight against the wee
vii this year in Louisiana.

The Road To Success.

No new road to success has been
surveyed. Those who 90 i'll that

GRAUTAUQUA
INCREASING EACH
DAY IN INTEREST

Despite the rain a goodly crowd
turned out Sunday to hear
the Weber Male Quartette, and
the address by John Dewitt Mil
Ter, of Philadelphia.
The voices of the Weber quartet
blend beautifully, and their fine
singing was listened to apprecia-
lively by the audience.
Though the heavy rain inter-
rupted the address of Mr.. Miller,
it was received with great inter
est, and highly praised. He new
er was able to ring in his con-
Guiding words. AS soon ast he
would get started good on his
subject, the rain battered in
such torrents on the metal roof
that he couldn't be heard. The
audience sang several songs in
the meantime.
Tonight at nine o'clock per-
formances will be given by Ras-
ami, the famous manipulation and
juggler in marvellous feats of
manipulation. He will also give
an hours amusement in his mar
velous feats tomorrow at 4e'clock
Tomorrow night at $50 o'clock
the Rev. Richard Wilkison will
lecture on Robert E. Lee" Mr.
Wilkerson is widely known as the
greatest lecturer on this historic
character which the platform
has claimed.
The Biblical hour will continue
through the week and will be free

Mr.. Cannon to Make Speeches.

Hon. A. Cannon, of Horse
Shoe, has received a letter from
State Democratic Chairman A.
H. Eller urging him to devote as
much time as possible to speech
making and other work in the
present campaign. Mr.. Cannon
consents and will go out on the
hustings about the first of Oc-
tober. It is hoped that he will
remain in the tenth district and
make a tour of the western coun-
ties. He is well liked in this
section, especially among the
country people, who have no bet
ter friend. Mr.. Cannon is a
rafting good campaigner and
can do the democratic party dis
tinct service. He always re-
spends to his party's call.
