An interesting feature of the bank

and which commanded the closest at

Four, was the address delivered By
Hon. E. Lee Warshom, state entomol-
ogist upon the threatened invasion Of
that menace of King Cotton. the boil
weevil. Mr.. Worsham handled his sub
ject with mastery skill, evidencing
deep study and familiarity herewith.
The boil weevil, Mr.. Worsham said,
has been retarded in its march upon
Southern Georgia. The cold winter
season kept the pest from coming up
in Georgia very far. 1t is now in Ala
bama and parts of Georgia. Cold wealth
er last season followed by drought
kept it from making any progress Ia
Georgia.
The boil weeyil, however, is coming
to Georgia. The Southwest countries
are preparing for his coming by rails.

developed that will resist the boll
weevil Seed has been given to many
farmers who have planted it success
fully.
Georgia could produce as much cot
ton as she ever did. by planting ole
half the acreage. Plant better seed,
with more bolls on it, longer staple,
more cotton to the acre.
Encourage the farmers all over the
state to improve their crops and get
ready for the boil weevil.
you bankers can help us to encour-
age the farmers to grow better crops.
The farmers of Georgia must diver

crops along with cotton.

Weston

Especial to Times-R ecorder.)
WESTON, Ga, April 22.-One of the
saddest deaths Weston has ever known
was tina of Mr.. J. C. Dennard, which
occurred in Dawson, April 18th. Rear
ed in Weston, he was known and Lowell
of all. Not only was his magnetic per-
sonality felt here, in the home of his
boyhood, but in the different towns
where he has engaged in business
since attaining to manhood. Espec
tally is this true of Dawson, his home
for several years past. His genial
manner and staunch business integrity
made a friend of every one with whom
he came in contact. A wave of sorrow
passed over Weston when it became
known that, stricken suddenly in the
flower of his manhood, the gentle spir-
it of John Ike Dennard had winged its
flight His body reached Weston at s
o'clock Tuesday and was carried to the
home of his sister, Mrs. George Sims,
and thence, at $3.50 o'clock a great
concourse of friends gathered to pay
the last sad tribute of respect and love
to the man who had passed away After
the funeral services, conducted by his
pastor, Rev. T. R. Galloway, of Daw-
son, the Masons took charge, and
with the beautiful and impressive Mas
onic burial ceremonies, all that was
mortal of this honored brother was
laid to rest beneath the canopy of
beautiful flowers.
Mr.. Dennard is survived by his
aged mother, Mrs. Louise Dennard,
three sisters, Mrs. J. W. Adams, Mrs
George Sims and Mrs. Homer Hay; two
brothers, Messrs. Jim and Dudley
Dennard.
A large crowd of out-of-town people
were in Weston Tuesday, here to at
