Shaking Up Of Loan Sharks.

Meridian,-From the opinion expressed
by a prominent attorney of this city,
the money lenders and loan sharks Of
Meridian will soon receive a shaking
up and will have to undergo a severe
scrutiny of the law.
'This city is infested with the worst
class of bloodsuckers, money lenders,
who extort the very life blood from
those who are unfortunate enough to
get in their grasp" said this lawyer.

KNAPP is HOPEFUL.

Danger From Grass.

OohAEA -
Hattiesburg.-H. Bradford Knapp OF
Washington. D. G., special agent in
charge of farmers demonstration work
in the Southern States, and r. S. Wilson
of Columbus, state agent for the work in
Mississippi, report cotton conditions in
Mississippi good, but for the excessive
r~ailfall, which has caused lowland cotton
to scald and shed it's fruit. Their obser'
walton throughout the state are that the
farmers are not discouraged, but are
fighting the weevil and are holding the
advantage gained during the dry spell by
picking up and destroying the punctured
squares right on during the wet weather,
A very gratifying feature of the dem
onstration work is the fact that a large
majority of the farmers are following
instructions as given by demonstration
agents throughout the country and
Messrs. Knapp and Wilson claim that
Wherever this is done a good crop of cot
ton will be had regardless of the pres
ence of the weevil.

Years Of experience and careful
study have brought to light many
facts in regard to the life and habits
Of the boil weevil. BY taking advan-
tage of some of these, much can be
done to lessen the damage of this
pest.
Read carefully all available bulle-
tins or publications concerning this
insect and verify the statements in
these publications for yourself. Make
observations as to which fields are
most seriously damaged by the boil
weevil, and try to determine the cause
for any difference upon fields In the
same neighborhood.
Test different varities of cotton un-
der the same conditions so as to OBJ
tain the variety that does best on your
farm under boil weevil conditions.

"Mahabi" Temple for shriners.

Jacksonville Shriners Of Jackson
Central and West Mississippi are in high
feather over the announcement from the
imperial council of the Mystic Shrine
that the long-sought and long-deferred
charter for the temple for the western
jurisdiction has been granted. The TEN.
Pile is located at Jackson and is called
Mahabi.
This proposition was before the i'm

but has always encountered the opposi.
ton of the only other temple in the state
on the ground that there were not
enough Shriners in the state to maintain
two temples.

Horses in Pasture.

Turn the horse out on pasture
where there is no clover. Cornstalks
or laxative food will relieve the com
plant. In chronic cases give dry
grain, consisting of clean, well.saved
oats, with very little hay, and even
this at night only, turnips, carrots,
etc, The water should be given in
small quantities and a little lime oor
casionally added. Keep the bowels al
