THE METHODIST CHURCH
 IN LEE COUNTY

We give the information below just for the benefit of those who are interested in things religious. If others read it and are helped by it all is we'll.
 There are three pastoral charges in the county, representing seven preaching places. Two others are included in these charges, but they lie outside of the county. They are served by Clarence Crow of Haynes, Mack N. Johnston of Aubrey and the writer.
 In these places there areseven houses of worship valued at $93,. 5O0.OO, having a membership of eight hundred and eighty eight There are seven Sunday Schools with a total enrolment of eight hundred and nineteen.
 This year has been given very largely to evangelistic work. Broth CT Crow has had two splendid reviv. als on the Haynes and La Grange charge. Brother Johnston had g most excellent meeting at Rondo and will hold two other meetings be. fore conference. The writer has just been engaged in a good meeting with the church at Oak Forrest. In connection with this meeting there are some things worth mentioning The people of Oak Forrest neigh

borhood have just completed a beautiful church. They have had a little union church building there for many years and as the history of those things go they have been do- ing but little in the way of substan- tial gains. As it is now, they have a nice new building, well seated, good ventilation and are otherwise well equipped for work. The Nastor gives two afternoon appointments each month to this place, and other protestant denominations have a welcome when they desire to preach in the house.
 The meeting just closed has not been all it might have been. The pastor had overlooked the fact that an election was pending when he made the date, but even in spite of the election we had fairly good crowds and good interest on the part of the Christian people. The singing was exceptionally good and on the whole we feel that much good was accomplished. One of the best things in the meeting was on Sunday morning when seven child ren were dedicated to the Lord in baptism.
 The writer was lavishly entertain ed in the homes of the people and received other courtesies that make the life of minister really worth while.

WASP KILLS BOIL WEEvIL

Natchez, Miss, Aug. 1S.-Much interest is being manifested in this section in the propagation of a spe- cial species of wasp claimed to be a destroyer of the boil weevil. It is said that parasites from the wasp at- tack the weevil while the latter is in larvae state and destroy it.
 The discovery of the wasp was fist made in Adams county on the plantation of Mobley & Perry near Natchez. Among those interested in propagating the species is Ford N. Taylor, an engineer, who owns the Belmont plantation near Match. ez. Mir. Taylor has an exhibit of the wasps in the various stages of development at Natchez and by it has convinced cotton planters inclin- ed to be skeptical that weevil de stroyer has actually been found. The attention of the A. & M. College has been called to the wasp, but so far the identity of the species has not been established.
