ARMY WORM APPEARS
 AROUND SOUTHLAND

Courtland, July 21.-(Special.)-The grass or fall army worm has appeared in this county, and is doing great damage to corn and other vegetation. though it has not as yet attacked the cotton. On the Shackel- ford place. just west of town, almost all of the young corn is entirely destroyed, and it is feared that the cotton will be the next food. This worm made its ap- pearance about three weeks ago, and this seems to be the first crop matched out in any number.
 In appearance the worm resembles the caterpillar of last year to some extend, but is smaller and a darker brown. Paris green is being applied to young corn.

 OFFICERS ARE HELD

Meridian Miss, July T.-President T. I. Dooittle and Directors M. l.. Hand and C. H. Rev of the defunct Merchants and Farmers bank of Newton, were given preliminary hearing yesterday aft ernoon at Newton and bound over to the grand jury in the sum of s5o0o bond each
 Directors k. L. Spann and A. A. Lo- gan waived examination and were bound over under s25o0 each.
 The officers plea is that they were ignorant of the condition of the bank while the state contends that they should have known that it was insolvent.
 The trial developed the fact that Di- rector M l.. Hand had withdrawn his deposits during the past two months, also his securities, while Director Rev had practically transferred his business to the bank of Newton.
