been a shut-in for A or 5 years on
account of paralysis. Mr.. Holmes
though chained to his room, is quite
cheerful and talked Interestingly
about the topics off, :he day. He
keeps an open house, and isalways
glad to see his many friends who

The cotton, leaf caterpillar has

Just below the town, that are liter
ally riddled with them, but / Ithink
the pest has put in his appearance
too late to do any real harm.
The cotton, the cotton. l don't
think I ever saw so many white
fields. I noticed fields in the Reno
both section. as well as this COM
munity a few days ago, out OF
which not a boil of cotton had been
picked, and the pickers are scarce.
Supervisor Wells with his force
of road builders are camped near
Parksville. Messrs. Sawyer, Walker,
Prince and Broadwater seem to be
the right men in the right place to
push the work. But allow me to add
parentheticaily, that the Legislature
has failed to put the means within
the reach of supervisor Wells to en-
able him to cover the entire county
of 1s hundred miles of public roads
in one year. In my judgment the
county needs squads and 8 ma
chimes, as capable and efficient as
Capt. Sawyer, stationed in the
different sections of the county in
order to keep, grade and widen our
roads. Away with this penny wise
pound foolish" policy of keeping
our roads because it is false econo-
