GUILFoRD.
Guilford Roads.

As il is near town meeting we must
soon choose officers, among which we
must elect seleetman, and road commits
sioner Now probably as nearly every
man knows we have between so and
90 miles of road in this town The
time to fix roads is in the spring. Then
we have the full benefit of them dur
inc the summer instead of lot of our
roads not being fixed until June in
the busy time of planting and hoeing
and then perhaps lot left until fall
and then it does practically no good.
Now, fellow townsmen, why not elect
two or more road commissioners as you
know it is next to impossible for one
man to get over the whole of these
roads when they should be worked in
the early spring. We never have had
man that was capable of working
them all in the spring. Some of our
commissioners have come nearer than
others, but none of them have gotten
wholly over them in the spring. Many
times they have been worked late in
June when ii was dry and dusty. and
the first shower would wash the roads
so that what they had done was OF

500 for travelling expenses going from
one part of the town to the other, and

WARNING NOTE

Eirstraters Will Survivs-John w
:, MeGrath Tells Hew Delta Nee
: Boil Weevil.

& This article, written by John w
.McGrath, one Of the biggest busi-
ness men in the southern half of Mis-.
sissipp, should be Of the keenest in:
terest to business and professional
men and farmers throughout the
South. While it deals largely with
boil weevil- history. yet it is full Of
sound philosophy and agricultural
advice and fits everywhere.
I'm order to make this article as
brief as possible SO that he who runs
may read, have decided to treat the
boil weevil subject under three heads:
The anticipation, the coming and cf-
feet, the remedy.
! ''The first great mistake made by
our farmers and business men was
their indifference to the gravity of
the situation. Even when the boil
weevil reached the Mississippi river,
which is 72 miles west of Brookhav-
en-, and later on when it was reported
ON this side of the river, every one
was going along at the same old
gait; planting cotton and some corn,
raising big crops of cotton and send
ing the greater portion of the pro-
ceeds North to pay for provisions
and grain.
:, Taken for Granted.
"None of US realized the great
ness of the danger. We thought it
would treat us like all the other cot
ton pests which we had so success
fully combated, reduce our yield for
two or three years and then pass OH
to other fields. l had been in busi-
ness here for 80 years. / had never
seen a complete failure in all that
time. Forty per cent. of cotton

then should we dread the boil weevil
any more than it's predecessors? We
would fight it. out on the old lines.
We would just trim our sails little
and fight our way through the storm
