LOCUST FGGS KILLED HER.
Rankin County Negress Dies in a Pc.
euliar Manner.

Jacksonville appearance OF the II.
year locust has caused at least one deatn
in Mississippi, brought about in a iacst
peculiar manner.
Word has resehed here from Rankin
county of the death of the wife Of a
negro named Eof Harper, alleged to have
been caused by eating wild plums on
which 17-yesr locusts had deposited their
eggs.
Physicians who were called IN cay
that they can attribute the death to no
other cause; that the locust eggs a:e un-
doubtedly poisonous and great caution
should be shown by persons in eating
any form of vegetation in localities
where the locust has made its appear
ance. The insect pest is rather thick
in that section OF Rankin county. The
woman was taken desperately i'll imme-
distely after eating the wild plums and
died few hours later.
