FROM THE PEOPLE.
Letter from MIR. Hibbler Anent the
Boil Wevil.

Editor of the BEACON
Now that we are being urged contin-
uously by the agricultural department
ard by.our Mr.. Haddon to make an effort
to get rid of at least some OF the boil
weevils, Ed Robbins and have hit upon
plan that we are putting in operation
that is working fine, and we are des-
troy, oillions and it very easy. AS
soon as we finish picking cut of cot
ton land if you do not care TO sacrifice
a few boil you can gatherf the boil and
they will open) we turn all the cows,
horses and sheep on that cut and have
them kept on that piece of cotton until
they destroy everything on the stalk,
and then will tramp millions Of them to
death. Pen the cattle about the middle
Of the afternoon. next morning give
them plenty of salt and put thom back
in the cotton patch and you will be sur
prised to see how qnick they will clean
a field by keeping them right OH 1t.
Then you can use your stalk cutter and
disc and plow the stalks under, plant
your grain for winter pasture and cover
crops-and you have them.
The southern people are slow to
move and great many of US have to
be driven by disaster to get hustle on;
but the boil weevil will do 1t if it can be
done.
It IS hard to tell what the average
negro renter will do. with little intelli-
gence. no knowledge of scientific farm
ing, and life-habit of Incidence and ease
which has become an instinct with him
through hundred of years of inheritance
it is too much to expect of him to
to expect him change his nature to meet
the conditions and problems under
which he will be thrown when the wee
vii gets in a weaving way. If the fight
on the pestiterous little insect is won
all the intelligence. energy and grit will
have to be put in the fight, so between
now and the first of December all the
cotton stalks should be burned, ditch
banks ard fence corners cleared off and
burned out, in fact destroy every place
that can be used as alternating place,
and believe in that way great dea
crn be accomplished.
Ed Robbins and | are going to raise
cotton regardless of the weevill as we
have corn, hay, potatoes, peas and sor-
ghum but l nm sorry to say the hog
crop is short, In regard to turning
stock in the cotton fields, some may
say they have no stock to turn in, but
my advice is to borrow from your neigh
bors, as do from Ed Robbins. They
will be glad to have them pastured.
Fifty or seventy-fve head will destroy
a wonderful amount of stuff in a day.
Now l think we owe the government
something and it would be especially
gratifying to Mr.. Haddon to know that
Noxubee ounty is making the fight of
its life to overcome the weevil.
j. E. HIBBLER.

BEAUTY
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

n A ETHINKS there is no greater work in life
NJ Than making beauty. Can the mind conceive
one little in celestial realms
Unbeautiful duh commonplace?
or picture ugly angels, lily GLADE
Beauty and spendor opuIence and JOY
Are attributes of God and his domain
And worth and virtue. But why preach
OF virtue only the sons of men,
Ignoring beauty, till they think it sin?
Why. if each dwener on this little globe
Could know the sacred meaning of that word
And understand its deep significance,
Mems thoughts would in beauty their dreams
However humble; they themselves would grow
Godlike, BETTING such a fair estate
Let be done with what is only good:
Demanding here and the beautiful.
Lest. with the mind and eye earth unframed
We shall be III az when heaven Is gained

Marriage Is Only PanaCae.

Marriage Is Only PanaCae.
But when a man and woman get
to the age when they have wearied
Of theaters and restaurants, and
bridge parties and dinners, and
their own Preside looks better to
them than any other spot on earth
then they need a husband or wife
to share that solitude Of two,
And they need a home of their
own. not to live around with their
sons and daughters, always on
their p's and as for fear that they
will offend some touchy daughter
in-law, or cantankerous son-in-law
who blistles with feelings as a
porcupine does with quilts.
Every middle-aged man and
woman who is able to support a
wife or a husband should get mar
ried. but there should be a benevo-
lent commission with arbitrary
matrimonial powers appointed by
the government to pick out d suit
able mate for the afflicted party
and see that she or he was of APP
propriate age, character and habit.
For when We hear the last call

thing that makes us all both men

April Show Proves Disappointing

April court with it's annual morse
show proved disappointing in the ex-
treme, in the latter case. when on yes
terday only few stations, compared
with thelhorse shows OF. former Years,
" ere exhibited. The show. which dur
ing the past few years has been held
at the fair grounds, was held with
safety tu both the animals and spec
tarors. so few were the number.
There was very noticeable falling
off in the number of horses exhibited
and the quality of the animals. In
former years horse show day was a
signal tor the exhibition .Of the most
valuable of the blooded stock of this
and adjoining counties, but the ex-
hibit yesterday was disappointment
in many respects.
Of the total of about fifteen stall
lions on the court house square. less
than one third were of a standard that
has marked former Iexhibits. Tr0t-
ting and saddle stations were very
few. while the Percheron breed seemed
to have a majority among those on
exhibit. Of this class there were a
number of very fine specimens, each
groomed to fashion.
Egyptian Baron, owned by Douglas
Thomas, of this city, Baron Rhythmic,
owned by ]. P. Redmon, of Millers-
burg, and Buster Brown. the property
of w. j. Kiser. of near Kiserton. were
the only exhibits of light harness
stations among the entire list Nc
owners from adjoining counties haC
their horses on exhibition.

but the disappointment of the lovers

Miss Billie Burke in THE Mind
the Paint Girl"

Miss Billie Burke in "The Mind the
Paint Girl" comes to the Lexington
Opera House Wednesday night. AS
Miss Burke is great favorite and as
her play is the latest comedy by Sir
Arthur PinerO, there is ample reason
for considering the engagement one of
the most interesting events of the cur
rent theatrical season.
In 1.-The Mind the Paint Girl Miss
Burke, of course. plays the title role.
She's a London musical comedy star
name of Lily Parradell-who has been
made famous by her singing of song
entitled "Mind the Paint" Hence
her sobriquet and the title of the play.
Ii is the story of day and a half of
the stage-Of this girl that Pinero
tells. She's an interesting little
thing. is Lii. Born over a grocer's
shop in London suburb, educated in
the streets. her pretty face and her
quick wit have made her the ''princi-
pal girl' at the Pandora Theatre.
She's had admirers by the score, but
she's kept 'straig ht," and now comes
the big,moment IN her Iife-a real lord
asks her to marry him. He's a fine
chap. too. and Lii likes him-more
than bit. but she tells him the story
of her struggles and sends him away
for his 'mammy's sake. But jeal-
Gus fool an ex-army officer who has
been.dangling after her for years-sud-
denly appears in the scene ano there is
a terrible auarrel-a regular PiDero
quarrel--and at the end of it Lii,
knowing now that she loves the lord.
has promised to marry the other fellow
and make amends for the harm he
thinks she's done him. It's a Quixot-
ic thing for her TO do. but entirely con-
sistent with the character Pinero has
given her. And.then, of course. there
is another act and every thing is ser
right.
If the part of Lily had been written
expressly for Miss Burke. they say, it
couldn't suit her better than ii does.
and she is supported by an excellent
company.
