BY A EvANsoN.

Eyes, Mrs. Tompkins, Uncle Johns
dead and gone at last, and it vas
about time, too, seeing that he was
eighty-nine last June-and when a
man gets to be that old and has a tenn
per like Uncle Johns he isn't good
for much more. And deceitful! Well,
I don't want to speak i'll of the dead,
but if his whole life was like the last
year of it, when we knew him, I'm
not over sanguine about his future.
This is how it all happened. OF
course Silas and / had heard of Uncle
John all our lives, for we were cousins
before we were married, and having
no children we naturally kept a warm
spot in u hearts for the old man.
We knew he was good for nothing and
never put by a penny all the years of
his life, but still, we're not uncharit-
able.
"Yes, we'd heard all about that ton
tine years ago and put it out of our
minds. We thought it was just a story.
So when Uncle John turns up at the
farm on his eighty-eighth birthday, all
ragged like a tramp, and hungry as
though he didn't know what food
meant, we were naturally annoyed.
We've always held up our heads
among our n%eighbors, and we didn't
want it said we couldn't do right by
our uncle.
MARIA he said-those were his
very words as he sat in the parlor in
his dirty, shabby clothes, and we NOR
tally afraid some of the neighbors
would come in and see him-Maria,
I've come to lay my bones among you.
Will you give me a home now that I'm
good for nothing any longer?'
Il looked at Silas and he looked at
me. Then he took me aside. I guess
we'll have to, Maria he said softly.
We can't put him in the poorhouse-
us being SO respectable. Besides, may
be he can earn his keep doing chores
about the farm
so we took him in and let him
sleep in the attic. There's an old
straw mattress there, and we gave him

Cotton Worm Situation
(R. w. Harmed. }

During the past week cotton
worms (also known as cotton ar
my worms and leaf-caterpillars)
have appeared in four counties
in Mississippi. Quite likely they
are in other counties but we know
definitely that they are at this
time in Sharkey, Tallahatchie,
Pamela. and Oktibbeha counties.
Every person who is raising
cotton should be prepared to
fight the worms again this year,
especially where the cotton is
late. 1t is not likely that the
worms will be as numerous this
year as. in 1911 and 1912 as the
first ones have appeared some
what later, but they may be just
as numerous.
Everyone should be on the
lookout for the worms. 1t is not
necessary to apply poison until
the worms are actually in the
fields and then not a minute
should be lost in applying the
poison to all fields in which the
worms appear. AS cotton worms
have been numerous in most
counties in Mississippi during the
past two seasons, most cotton
planters know how to apply the
Paris green and powdered arse
nate of lead.
All persons desiring informa.
ton in regard to cotton worms
and methods of fighting them
should write to the Entomolo-
gist. All persons finding cotton
worms or other insects thought
to be cotton worms are requested
to send them to the Entomolo-
gist. Agricultural College, Mis-
sissippi, with full information as
to where they were found and as
to how numerous they are.
A copy of the press circular
entitled BE prepared for the
Cotton Worm" that was sent out
over a year ago is again being
sent to all the papers of the state
as most of the Information in
that circular will apply just as
we'll this year as last year.

Aunt Puss

in high and kindly regard IN the
domestic life of the Old South-a
BLACK Nanny" and not very
black either, as she was of a
light or copper color. 1t was
thought that the blood of Indian
ancestry coursed through her
veins.
At the close of the war be-
tween the States she was, or had
been, a family servant in the
home of my wife's father. Col.
R. A. Baker, near Summarized.
Alabama. She had a kind heart
and a cheerful disposition, and a
friendly word and smile for all
around her. After freedom
came, she and her husband,
':Unclo George" were, at differ
ent times and places, hired SER
wants in the writer's family.
Uncle George was a representa-
tive type of his. race, a good SER
want, respectful and helpful-our
man of all work-and possibly an
official member of the Methodist
church. Aunt Puss was an in
telligent and devout Christian.
She was a Methodist, and loved
her church and all Christian
people.
She and her husband were
with us for the longest time at
Verona, Miss, coming to US
while | was in charge of the Ve-
roma Female College. She never
seemed to be very strong, but she
was most faithful and reliable.
She had charge of the dining
room: and with our bright col
ored cook, jamie Topp, in the
kitchen, and Aunt Puss in the
dining room, it would have been
difficult to find two more capable
and faithful domestics to feed
and wait upon a lot of hungry
school girls and a family OF
healthy children.
| do not know that Aunt Fuss
was ever a regular nurse, but
Mrs. M. A. Reynolds, the sole
surviving member of Col. Bak-
er's family, says that her crib
had a place in the cabin of Aunt
Puss'. She was kind and pleas
ant with the children, and having
charge of the milking of our
cows, more than one of our little
fellows under her training be-
came good milk boys. When
the baby and smaller children
were left to her care, with the
strong and willing arms of jamie
Topp to help, we felt that they
were in safe keeping; and the
wife and mother, without anxious
solicitude, could attend promptly
on the Sabbath.
Aunt Puss was more than a
faithful servant; she was a true
friend to the family. | do not
know that she could have been
more careful and faithful if our
home and the affairs of the fam
lily had all belonged to her, And
our children, whose early lives
were touched by her kind and
gentle virtues, will cherish for
her a lasting and loving remem-
brance.
Her religion was not merely a
Sunday religion, but was a part
of her everyday life. 1t was a
glad and joyous experience.
She walked close to God. Her
cup of joy often seemed to be
full to the brim. and her lips
ready to voice her kindly feelings
and her faith in God by such ex-
pressions as, Eyes honey. Bless
the Lord"
Mrs. Reynolds, above men

90 years old at the time of her
death. In the early July days of

A Little Scare on Monday Morning.

There was a great deal of ex-
cltement in this city on Monday
morning. It was more of a
scare than anything else. One
OF the outhouses OF the B. Ben
nett clothing establishment
caught On fire by some unknown
origin and the alarm was given.
By the time the fire company
arrived on the scene the little
building was almost consumed
by the flames, tut the prompt
ness OF the fire boys to the scene
OF the fire saved the property
owners of Landry street a hand
some little fortune, as it is GER
tain that, if the Bennett store
would have caught on fire nearly
the entire block would have
been doomed. In reality there
was nothing to the fire, but in
supposition that little flame
caused many a wrinkle on the
forehead of several property
owners of that section Of this
city.
Nothing like a prompt fire
company; Opelousas has that,
but what is now needed is a fire
alarm system, which would do
away with the delay generally
caused by having to run to the
fire company TO sound the alarm.
This should be a lesson to the
business men Of Landry street,
and should awake in them a
desire to better protect their
property. Why don't they
strive to obtain a fire alarm sys-
tenn for Opelousas?
