KILL THE LAST FLY.
How a Vermont Woman Follows Up
Stragglers to Keep Pest Down.

Now is the time to make an en-
deavor to kill the last lily to help
prevent the pest from Matching Il bly,
new crop another year. In this way
we can more quickly exterminate
them than any other, as the late
| Matched flies seek to enter the house
with so much determination that in
spite of all efforts mdny ito get in.
My plan for years has been to
| poison them on the outside by putting
little shelves on porches and by doors.
When they seek to enter on these
shelves | keep a saucer of well mois-
| tened poison tlypaper. 1t is best to
! have it up out of the way of eats and
children.
Use sticky fypaper, too, and any
| other flvlillers, but get the last fly if
! possible, outside as well as in the
| house before they can creep into a
snug place for the winter. \ favorite
place is around windows, and one is
surprised to find what small crack
! they can squeeze through to find a
/ protected place to spend the winter in.
All through the winter on warm days
a fly may crawl out, but do not let
him escape, as it means millions in
the summer to follow. The warm
spring days they viii appear quite
plenty, too, but take time to catch
them or crush them, for they do not
seem hungry then, even after THEN
long fast but are stupid and easy t.
kill. / am nearly a half mile from
neighhors, and by the strenuous fight
have made in the fall to kill tho
late flies it is seldom | am bothered
until late in the summer, when | sup
pose they do drift in here from Other
places, or | may have missed few
However, since the fly ought to be
banished from every farm this is wortl
a good big effort on the part of house

DARNELL HOUSE.
HISTORIC Hotel
MANY NoTAeLEs OF OTHER DAYS
VISITED FAMOUS BRANDON
HOSTELRY.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 13.-Traveling
men in Mississippi are mourning the
destruction by fire of the Darnell
House, at Brandon, perhaps the most
historic hosiery in the state. The
origin of the blaze is unknown. The
long, rambling structure was reduced
to ashes within a few minutes.
This celebrated hotel had furnished
shelter for the travelling public for
eighty years, and distinguished Mis-
sissippians of several generations had
slept beneath it's roof. On it's long
veranda the noted orators and states
men of ante-bellum days delivered
their most famous speeches. 1t was a
favorable resort of the great orator,
Sargent Smith Prentiss, who always
sought shelter there when attending
the Brandon court term.
During the past few years the anci-
ent inn had been under the manage
ment of a man who was something
more than a mere hotel keeper. Trav.
elers declared him a philanthropist
for nowhere in the state could they
get finer meal for fifty cents. One
of his popular stunts was to serve a
dinner with spring chicken cooked in
seven different styles piled up on the
| table.

hotel will not be rebuilt.

her, together with DR.. Charles c. Hen
bricks and Samuel Stanton, formerly
justice of the peace in Freehold, N.
j., where Miss Biggar was living at
the time.
Stanton was brought into the case
because he claimed to have married
Bennett and Miss Biggar, and a mar
riase certificate signed by him played
an important part of the affair. Dr..
Hendricks was Miss Biggar's physi-
clan, and the proprietor of a sanitar-
ium in, which, it was said, was born
the child which Miss Biggar claimed
to be the posthumous child of Ben
nett, and which played an important
part in the litigation.
The conspiracy charge against the
three resulted in the jury at Freehold
finding Hendricks and Stanton guilty
and acqutting Miss Biggar. AS an
aftermath of the affair the wife of DR..
Hendricks sued Miss B1ggar for al
legged alienation of her husbands af.
fections.
In 1903, and again in 1906, it was
reported that Miss Biggar, or Mrs
Bennett, as she has since been known
had agreed to accept a settlement of
her claims against the Bennett es
tate. At one time it was said she had
received $620,0O0 and at another time
the amount was placed at 100000. II
is certain that at various times she
received large sums from the exec
utors, but it is believed now that she
is practically without funds. Hence
her renewed endeavors to secure the
whole or large part of what is left
of the Bennett fortune.

IMPORTANT CASE

CASES OF STATE BOARD OF EDU.
CATION VS.. PRIoaeN BEFORE
SUPREME COURT.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 13.-The most
important case to be called up in the
supreme court on next Monday, and
which appears on the docket for that
day, is that of the State Board of Edu-
cation against j.. E. Pridgen. 1t is
probable that this case, postponed
from last Monday, then will be argued.
The question involved is the constitu-
tionality of the statute adopted by the
legislature in 1912 providing sup
plemented educational fund to be used
under certain conditions. Chancellor
E. 2. Jones decided that the law was
unconstitutional, and the state board
of education took an appeal.
