he had not been in accord with

How To Get Rid OF the House Fl

How To Get Rid OF the House Fly.
The fly is a nuisance beside being
carrier Of infectious diseases, and
the attempt to eXterminate it needs
no justification. How one can make
ones home, town or city tlyless is de-
scribed by c. +. Hodge Of Clark Uni
versity. Worchester, Mass. He says
that the American public spends $1O,-
00O 900 a year for window and door
screens in futile attempt to exclude
lively insect which insists on get
ting into the house every time the
doors are opened He believes also
that the method of swatting the flies,
using tiypaper or indoor traps or
poisons is ineffective, but may help.
His me ,hod is to make use in various
ways of the cOnical Wire-meSh fly
trap, which IS familiar to almost ev-
cry one, in such a way as to turn the
tables on the flies and put them N
jail and let ourselves out" The plan
far as possible of all breeding and
feeding places for flies and the ap-
plication of the hy-trap mentioned
above to the garbage can, to the
screens on windows, to the covers on
manure bins, etc, all of which can
lie done by a little mechanical inge-
nuity. Garbage cans are on the
market which have a cover larger
than the can and not fitting down
closely on it so that the flies gain ac-
cess to the can under the cover and
escape through a hole in the cover
over which is fixed fy-trap. In fight
ing the fly, Hodge has found that the
| essentials of a successful campaign
are to transfer the fight against the
| fly from the house to outdoors. and
| then to cXtcrminatc it. Another cs-
! Scntal feature in a town or city IS
that households must cooperate. one
/ ignorant or careless home can breed
| flies enough To vitiatc the best ondcaV-
"rs of a whole town. Hodge has sue

Repairs Being Made on Presbyterian
Church-Farmers Undertake Gull
tiyatiOn of TObaccO-Talk of EIcc-
ton on Dispcnsary-PcrsOnaI.

Mayesville, March 4.-The repairs
on the Presbyterian church are going
on satisfactorily and when COM
pleted, this handsome house Of wor-
ship will be greatly improved in many
ways While this work is going on,
the congregation is using the Meth
odist church which has been kindly

Those planters who are going to
raise tobacco are preparing to build
their barns now that the weed is get
ting up in the beds. Quite a good
acreage will be planted in this section
and it is hoped that the financial re-
suits will be such as to cause a still
greater number of the farmers to un-
dertake the cultivation of the weed.
The market will be opened about July
and the old buildings Of the Pudding
Swamp tobacco warehouse company
will be put in good shape for the bus
mess
There is much talk now concerning
the election on the dispensary ques-
ton in August, and from all indica-
tlons, there will be a large majority
in favor of reopening the institution
In this county. The failure of pro-
hlbition to prohibit, together with the
lax enforcement of the law, and the
bad effect on business conditions, gen
orally, since the abolition Of the dis
pensary, are all strong arguments in
favor of the reOpening Of the legal
liquor shops. Many who would op-
pose the sale Of whiskey from a NOR
al standpoint, being themselves te-
totalers, are now in favor of voting
for the sale Of whiskey in a Iegalized
form. There was some disappoint-
ment that the legislature did not allow
vote on the question in May as pro-
posed by Senator Clifton Of this
county.
Quite lot of fertilizer is being
hauled now and from all indications,
the farmers are going to use about
as much as usual this year. There
has been no talk yet Of reducing the
cotton acreage again this season and
probably about the usual amount will
be planted. The oat crop is especial
ly good this season in this section.
