Seventeen Year Locust to Appear.

After an absence of many years,
17-year locusts, is said, will make
their appearance. in the early
spring of this year, and how to get
rid of these destrctive insects is
now a puzzle to entomologists.
The farmers are warned to guard
against destructive vermin and put
coating Of some material objection
able to the locust that will drive
them away. Special attention is
called to the injury Wrought by
the pests in the yard. which have
destroyed many orchards and killed
off hundreds of new orcha1 dis and
nurseries. Warning has been sent
out by the state officials to all farm
ers. Within few months the To-
Gusts will come from the south and
deposit their eggs to be hatched in
the early spring and even now the
entomologists urge the farmers to
give the trees coat which will
prove of great benefit to them.
Gypsy and brown tail moths are
two other destructive insects that
have of late made their appearance
in West Virginia. These moths are
generally found in England, and
they, like locusts, prove very de-
structive to the fruit trees and the
farmers attention is also called to
the report. Keep careful outlook
for these insects.

Joseph Shirley Johnson.

Joseph Shirley Joseph was born in In
diana, Jan. II, 1892; died in Gilroy,
Calf, March %, 1910. He came to Miss
ouri in his early youth and settled upon
farm with his parents in north eastern
Missouri, where he grew to manhood,
was converted to the Christian faith dur
ing Baptist revival, and afterward
married Miss Rebeccs Allen. To this
union we're born eight children, five of
whom survive him, all married and liv-
ing in the state of California, in which
state he spent fifteen years of his life.
In 1874 he returned to northern Miss.
ouri and was married to Miss Elizabeth
Henderson, on August II, 1879. In the
autumn of the same year he came south
and located on farm in southern Bar
ton county, four and one-h half miles north
and east OF Jasper, which place was his
home until Death called him at the end
of long, and wearisome journey, which
he had taken to visit his children in the
far. west. He will be greatly missed
from the community in which he lived,
for he was good and honest and kind,
reverential to his God and faithful to the
Christ Who so many years ago spoke
peace to his soul, gentle, and kind in
disposition and hospitable by nature.
For years he and and his good wife
were the most devoted, and faithful
members, and supporters of the country
church IN. e. South near their home,
and many Of their former pastors no
doubt today remember their kind deeds
in days past. They called their home
the "Preachers' Home,'
The grief-stricken wife who is on the
bed of affliction has the sympathy of the
entire community. May the God of
peace reach down and comfort all his
children in. the far west, his loved ones
in northern Missouri, and all who knew
and loved him.
