From Hashuqua.

We noticed a clipping in the
last issue of the BEACON from the
Aberdeen Examiner advising far.
mers to kill all buzzards that
comes within rifle raugc, charging
that bnzzards are the cause of the
spread of hog cholera. Now this
is not the first time that we have
seen this advice in public print
and we think it all wrong.
We believe that the Lord knew
what He was doing when He made
the buzzard and we also believe
that the buzzard was put here for
mans benefit as it eats and thereby
removes all dead carcasses, and we
think it a sin and the law protect
ing the buzzard should remain on
our statute books. 1t would be a
very weak legislature that would
repeal the law.
II the Examiner or any one else
wants to they can bury the hogs
that die of cholera and let the buz.
zard live to continue to do what
the Lord and nature intended it
as scavengers of the earth. If men
would quit SHINING the Lord would
not send such things as cholera
upon us. SCRIBBLER.

In Memory Of Emmett Hunter.

Saturday afternoon, August 9th, at
three o'clock, the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. M. Hunter was enveloped in deep
est sadness, the hearts of loved ones
and friends were bowed in grief and
tears as the precious spirit of their dar-
ling little son, Emmett, winged its
flight from earth to Heaven.
He was sick about four weeks of tv.
phoid fever. All that the loving hands
of two physicians, two nurses, loved
ones and a host of friends could do was
done, but alas, God said come up higher.
He was thirteen years and one day
old.
He professed faith in Christ and
united himself with the Baptist church
one year ago.
o. how we will miss dear Emmett in
school, in church and in Sunday School.
The last lesson he recited in SUNDAY
School was grand. and it was an inspira-
ton to those who heard it
We know he loved Jesus, because he
was so fond of studying the word of
God, When asked to prepare a Bible
lesson he always did it with e~mboundine
pleasure. am glad to say that | have
listened to him read some of the most
beautiful Bible stories have ever heard
from a child of his age.
He was a boy who prided himself in
telling the truth, He loved and lived
for the highest and best. with cheerful,
ness and fidelity, which won for him
many friends.
May the Lord comfort the bersaysd

Boil Weevil Bad in Yazoo.

The farmer who raises a bale OF
cotton in certain parts of Yazoo
county will earn every dollar the
cotton will bring him. The report
of devastation done by the boil
weevils in the hill sections is
worse than in any former year.
The effort to destroy the weevils
by picking them, burning pune.
tured squares, etc. is persistent.
But Notwithstanding the hard
work to save a part of the crop.
some of the farmers are about
ready to give up the fight.
The weevils made their appear
ance early and have multiplied
rapidly. The Herald has heard
some of the farmers say that as a
precaution, they intended plant
ing peas in their clifton land. so
that they would have a crop of
hay. The outlook for the hill por-
ton of the county is anything but
encouraging. Not only has the
prospects of q cotton crop been cut
short by the weevils, but the
drouth in some parts of the coun-
ty has cut the old corn down at
least one half.
The weevils are not reported so
bad in the Delta part of the coun.
ty, but the dlouth seriously in.
