WEEVIL SOME DISTANCE OFF.

Mr.. L. F. Mount, a we'll known

who lives near Troy, in Pike county,
has visited his nephew, Mr. William

1t has been printed that the boil
weevil was in Alabama within five or
six miles of the Georgia line, but ac-
cording to Mr.. Mount, who was in
Dawson a few days ago, that is a
mistake. He said that the pest has
not yet reached Pike county, which is
seventy-five or more miles from the
Georgia line, in its eastward march.
If the weevil travels only fifty or
seventy-five miles a year it will, ac-
cording to Mr.. Mounts statement, be
three years before it reaches Terrell
