Blakely, Ga., June 5, 1919. AFTER THE TICKS. The county authorities have the system of dipping vats for the coun ty completed now and the work of dipping the cattle of Early county is now going swimmingly on in every section of the county. To the credit of our people, we have heard of no serious objections being offered to the enforcement of the dipping laws, though some few declare they won’t obey the laws. The experts who visited our coun ty in the spring made the assertion that the county could be cleared of ticks in one year, and the heavy ex pense entailed for this year’s opera tions will not have to be repeated. We trust that the few obstreperous ones will investigate tike State laws and obey them without an expensive and costly conflict with the officials who are compelled to enforce them. Lieut. Commander Read, the Amer ican aviator who piloted the NC-4 successfully across the Atlantic, has been enthusiastically received on the other side. There is un uncon firmed rumor that the NC-4 will attempt a non-stop fiight from Scot land to Newfoundland on a return trip. o Monday night’s attempt by anar chists to blow up the homes of prom inent government officials in eight leading cities of the North, includ ing the home of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer in Washington, ought to awaken our government to the need of deporting a lot of crim inal aliens from the United States. —o Most of the labor disturbances in the country are brought about by alien agitators who have absolutely no interest in the freedom and pros perity of pur country. Uncle Sam needs to get wise to this gentry and ship ’em out of the country for keeps. o The rains of the past two weeks have proved disastrous to farms in this section of the State. Cotton is the hardest hit by the continued downpour, and the boll weevil is hitting a great stride now. o Those who travel the roads in this section at present are perhaps impressed with the need of perma nent roadways in Early county. o Keep the Early County Fair in mind and save some of your choicest farm products for exhibition. o In the language of our old ac quaintance, Grier’s almanac, “Some lain may now fall.” o It is not a question of will Ger many sign the peace terms, but a question of when. o And Germany hasn’t signed the peace treaty yet. SHALL WE HAVE FOURTH OF JULY BARBECUE? The State Council of Defense has made the -request of the Local Council that Early county have an old-fashioned 4th of July barbecue with oratory and other amusements, in honor of the returned soldier boys of Early county. The W. O. W. Camp of Blakely has expressed its willingness to, spon sor the affair, provided they are giv en sufficient financial backing to make the occasion what it should be. At their meeting Tuesday night they appointed a committee to can vass the citizens of the county and find out if they desire the barbecue sufficiently to back them up finan cially or with donations of meat 3, etc. Our returning soldier boys de serve some manifestation of our ap preciation for their services in be half of humanity, and no more ap propriate way of doing this than a big public gathering and barbecue has been suggested—and the Na tion’s birthday, July 4th, is surely an appropriate time. Messrs. *E. B. Wills, J. E. Hayes and G. W. Kenney compose the Woodmen’s committee. Help them with their task. 17-YEAR LOCUST HAS PUT IN APPEARANCE. WASHINGTON. D. C— Reports to the department of agriculture show that the seventeen-year locust has put in his appearance in nearly every State east of the Mississippi river. Despite the fact that this threatens to be perhaps the biggest locust year since 1868 department entomologists are not alarmed, but they are wor ried about the army worm. The locust, they say, does not threaten the wheat crop or any other growing thing except young fruit trees, and these can be saved from his ravages by proper precautionary measures. The army worm, however, which lias appeared in Texas and began his march north, is a real danger to the country’s bumper wheat crop, they sav. This worm moves in vast hordes, destroying grain fields, and the de partment has warned farmers to be on the watch for them. They can be killed by burning grass over the spots where they ap pear or by spraying with a mixture of Paris green. NOTICE OF ELECTION.
