an honor as can come to man while in
college. The above information we OBJ
tainel from the Clarion-Ledger of June
goth. Now think of it, Mr.. Strom years
ago could not talk English Now, what
young man, native born and versed in the
English language from a child, will say
he cannot do as well? Young men and
young women, when there is a will there
is a way. Let nothing stand in your way.

make you, if you have the WILL some
among the smartest men and women OF
this land. 1t is up to you..

owners were forced to kill them to end
their misery. Owners of other dogs tied
them up until the porcupine could be
snot to death.

.Ex-President RbQsevelt will land in

Jackson authorities have lately discovered
a negro man and a white woman living
together They were arrested and jailed,
but speedily sent out to a convict farm to
save them from a threatened mobbing-so

Thirteen merchants and business men of
Utica, Miss, have signed an address to
the cotton raisers in Kinds and adjoin-
ing counties where boil weevils prevail,
urging upon them to follow the advice of
government experts to down the pest as
early and as speedily as practicable. First,
hunt for weevil as it comes out of its
winter quarters and attack tn snail cotton
plant, and destroy them as fas as possible.
Second. Pick up and desroy all squares
as they fall from the stalks, and be very
careful to keep the soil Immediately under
the plants free from grass SO that the
sunshine can penetrate TO the ground and
dry up the squares that fall, and thus de-
stroy the egg, and third, keep the fields
free from grass and weeds, and carry
on shallow cultivation with spring -toothed
harrows and cultivators, for deep culti-
walton is damaging. Also attach brush
or limb to the cultivator so it will strike
the plants and kHock or shake off the
punctured squares. Hot dry dust and sun
shine are boil weevil enemies. Following
the above suggestions, with favorable
weather for the next three months, good
crop may be expected in spite of the pest
