Davis, engaged to a set-to on Fourth
street between Plum and Pine. The
Police interfered when the women turned
on them, tearing a portion ofthe clothing
off of one of the officers. Both were nr

Tbo dramatic season will commence
only this fall, tbe first date taken being
the 1st of September, when it is probable a
minstrel show will open up. The troupes
will then continue to oome through tbe
city, and many have secured dates up to
the middle of November. In this time
some of the best talent now on the Amor
loan stage will appear on tho Macon
boards. The season, at tbe present oat-
look, promises to be very brilliant, tbo
number of first olass artists booked for
Southern cirouit being very large.
THE REFCXIHX6 HIM,.
Passed In the House.
The intelligence of the pa— ‘ff* of the
bill for the refunding of the city debt. in
the House of Representatives, reached
Macon jesterdsy by telegraph about two
o'clock. Tbe later reports from Atlanta
confirmed the news. What amend
ments were added at tbe last moment, if
any, are not known.
Mr. Corput, who bos been in Atlanta
in the interest of the meaaure, returned
to the city yesterday morning, only re
maining a short while and returning on
the next train.
Tho bill bad tnen been arranged for
its final reading in the House, and it is
more than probable it passed in that
shape.
The amendment suggested and urged
by Mr. Jewett and others in regard to
the bonds falling dne at different dates,
was not accepted, and the thirty year fea
ture retained.
The amendment similarly EUggested

fairly largo delegation, and accessions
were made from tbe cities of the South-

qnito a nnmbor to tbe excursion. The
crowd left in high autioipation of a royal
good time. There are now quite a num

THE IQUA-B BOBEB.
I planted nneq iasbes ’or several years
on a-count of tbe fatal ravage s of a borer
which worked icsid-ously at ibe root, and
killedtce v.nesnddenly and it retrievably
in the period of ad it or two. Sometimes
tbe vine, when a lauaer, remained
healthy at the roat. but was pierced at
tbe exirem ty iu the bud; two or three
iuebes »ilt J at first, but in a few days
the whole vine sue umbed. Every gsr-
decer has had this vexatious experienc,.
Tnis yes-1 n an ?d tae pattypan squash
again, in ou r tha; I might study this
mysterious borer. '1 ne mischief at the
end of thevi-es las no: occurred this
and I am not pi partd to eay
whether the borers are ideul : csl or not.
My yds run tae gaaat'et of the striped
beetle and r* tee tqatsh bng snccesstul-
ly. Ia Jan ho.vercr, one tine began to
wilt. Iiaim dn'.-ly txamined the stem
atthe grouoJ, and found a leaf with a
hoieiniis boilow s en. Catting this off
o.e up to tne s' m, I found a hole lead
mg trim r.e to i>w leaf stem into the
stem of tie v.ne. In tirs stem were
abundant ev 1 ices of mischief. The
joint fctdb. u bared t-.ruugb.'andthe
stem h.-Low i ont upanddowe. About
two inches above ground, nicely stowed
way in a cat! y r i b 'sy feeding, lay
aeau horof tne baix. a plump white
grub win a dark-b - - ! . It was three-
qua; iso: an inch long. I found them
of va ious sgr .- and sizes in other vines
Al' rtbe exhaustion of the via.3 by
age, heit and tne w. •nc, I axamined ins
earth st th- roots, sndfounJ Fte Oaroocs
formed by'be grubs after attaining ru .
turity. These coooocs were about an
inch long, of a dark color and formed of
grains of esrtb, cemented with a sort of
glee-coreted by the inseot. Tbe materi
als of the oooooa ia tough and leatb rj.
One had been formed m a vine, wbioa
tbe grab bad nut left. Some empty shells
of the brown chrysalids were fouod on
tbe surface cf the earth; the
chsysaUs of this borer hav
ing tne nnnenal power to make its
way ont of the cocaon, and to work its
way up through two or three inches of
earth to the eurfaoe, where Ibe moth es
capes from it.
To effect this, there are thirteen rows
of small teeth hair way around the abdom
inal segments of tbo chrysalis anl all
pointing towards the tail. Wriggling of
the tail, then, would fores the chrysalis
bead foremo-t through tbe earth. It is
pr< bable that the math gets ice head out
of the chrysalis skin, eats a hcla through
»he oacocD, and then makes its way to
the eurfaca protected by tha chrysalis
skin, where it esoapas fully and fl.ea
away.
Dr. Harris describes tha moth thns:
“This ia oonspicnens for its oran;..i-col
ored body, spoiled with black, and its
hind legs fringed with long (rango col
ored and black hairs. Tbe hiod wings
only are transparent, and the fore wings
expand from one inch to one inch snd a
half. It may be seen flying al-ont the
plants.”
By placing the cocoons iu a goblet
psrtly filled with damp earth, the pretty
moth may ba cingbt. Dr. Harris first
described this inseot, and named it ejeria
cucurlilat. It is aa interesting fact tbat
it belongs fo tho same gonna with the
p-aoh tree borer, eyeries
cxitiosa ; Ibe pear tree borer
egcria pyri; the grape root hirer, eycria
polistifarmis; and the ourrant borer, cyeria
tipuli/orme. All have very similsr struc
ture aid habits.
Beuxoies —Examine the squaah vines
early m Jen *. By paring off the lowest
leaves at the stalk, and some of f be bark,
the presence of the borer will be discov
ered, and may bs pierced with the knife.
If tbesoil be then drawn over tiio wound
tbe vine will continue to grow.
I have described this insect at some
length because it is less known than the
other squash insects and much the most
destructive.
INSECTS INJURIOUS TO TUB T..MATO.
The cabbage and squash are perpetu
ally harassed by insect enemies, and,
when drouth supervenes, frequently die
outright. The tomato has fewer enemies
but they are interesting. I will describe
two:
THE TOM ATS WORST.
This large green worm, with white
slashes obliqely 'across the sides, and
with a short horn on tho tail, is well
known to all. It feeds usually on the
leaves of the tomato, but, when pressed
for food, devours the green tomato and
the stems. It consumes a large amount
of food and attains a length of two to
three inches. The tomato worm. Macro -
alia Carolina, has a mortal enemy iu a
small ichneumon fly, microgaster congre.
gala, which deposits iu eggs ia its bid/.
From these eggs hatch small grubs which
feed on the sweet juices of the worm till
they attain fall growth, when they eat
their way out of the shrunken body and
spin little wl ito silken cocoons attached
to tho body of the worm. Fully one
half of the August brood of tomato worms
are decked with maay of these little pen
dulous silken bells. If one of these
worma be placed under a tumbler, for a
few da>8, the little ichoueumon flies will
cams forth from the cocoons. Tomato
worms thus pierced never come to matu
rity. They should not be crushed,
thereby our valuable little friends, the
ichoueumon flies, will also be destroyed.
When the tomato worm attains matu
rity, it leaves the plant and descends into
the earth. Hero it casts off its caterpil
lar skin, and beejmes a long, brown,
chr>ealis, with a long be tk bent down
along tbe side. It resembles somewhat
a brown pitcher with a long handle. It
passes the winter in this form, and
frequently ploughed up in the garden in
the spring.
From this chrysalis emerges a large
moth, with a very long proboscis. It
flies at twilight, sucking the flowers of
the petunia and of the Jsmeatowa weed
and from its resemblance to tha hum
ming bird, is frequently called the’ hum
ming bird moth. Every boy is familiar
with it.
I have not bad aa opportunity to verify
if; but e!o Biologists agree that the tomato
worm is the Fame as the tcbaceo worm,
the great enemy of the tobacco plant. Ia
the Northern arid Eastern States, they
have another ‘ligutly different tobacco
worm, called Maerosila qii'nqucmaculala
Remedies—Hind-piukiug the worms.
Professor Glover recommends that
little cobale or fly poison iu sweetened
water, be dropped into the flowers of the

THE BOLL-WOBM.
Occasionally, a green tornaio is eaten
ay a reddish, tawny caterpillar, one and
a half inches long. It is the boll-worm
hcliothis armigera. It is a pernicious
feeder, attaching cotton bolls, the silk
and young grains of roasting ears of
corn, beans, pumpkins, etc. It is proba
bly known all over the world. If one
be fed with tomatoes, in a covered vessel
holding damp soil, it will, on attaining
its growth, go dswn into the earth, and
become a chrysalis, whence in three or
four weeks will issue a moth, with pale
yellowish wings, each with a dark spot
and a black transverse band.

CONCLUSION.
This concludes my sketch of the in
sect enemies of the cabbage, the squash
and the tomato. Let me nrge upon all
who have gardens, to bestow some attec-
tion upon tho insects here desoiibed.
This will easily lead to the observing and
destroying of other enemies of oar gar-
dens and of our orchards. Especially
get your boya to take an interest in these
matters. Give them this report, should
it be printed, and let them seek out and
study out tne cabbage-butterflies, the
squash-lover, ihe tomato-norm, etc., etc
and, if »h(y have a taste for such thing
tbe work of one year will greatly devel
op them. They will find out what eyes
are made for; that the little
insignificant insects around U3 are
full of tbe greatest wonders ,
and that in them they can And a lifetime
of investigation both interesting and
profitable. Just such work of your boys
will give us, in a few years, intelligent
amateur entomologists; and, mayhap,
(what we have not, to toy knowledge, in
tbe whole South—be it said to our shame)
a native skilled entomologist. Aa a help
in these home studies of home insects,
I am glad tbat there is a good book to be
gin with. This is Harris’ “Insects Inju
rious to Vegetation,’’ illustrated edition
by Fiin f . It was written as a report on
noxious insects to the Massachusetts Leg-
i-Uture ia 1S43, intended mainly for far
mers. Flini’s edition is enlirged, and
has about 300 beau'iful engravings. In-
■est $4 in tais work, and, my word for it,
ibis horticultural society will feel the in
fluence ofthe investment before five years
have rolled around.
state Fair.
The prospects of the State Fair are
constantly brightning. The Secretary,
Mr. Malcolm Johnston, is workin- along
steadily iu its iaterests. The drouth at
cna time threatened tbe prospects,
but the recent rains throughout the State
have so much revived the farmers' heart
that no longer is the cry of pcor crops
heard, but even the farmer who guards
bisuiterances, says that the yield will be
“a pretty good average any way.”
The catalogues are out and have been
generally distributed throughout tho
Statu.
Tho special attractions of the Fair will
be annennoed in afew days. They will
be the best that oan be procured any
where.
The racing feature of the Fair wilt be
unusually fire. The indications are that
there will ba more fine racing stock
through the South this fall then there
ever has been before.
From all we can now know, we feel
safe ia sayiog that the'Fair of ’79 will be
one of tbe mo3t interesting snd attrac
tive fairs ever given by tho Association-

IN MEIU.ORIAM.
The announcement of the death of Council B
Wb out just oue week ago today* though not
entirely unexpected, * vercast our whole com
maaity with the dark shadow of a great sor
row.
To thota to whim he more immediately be
longed, to that inner circle privileged to enjoy
his social companionship in all the unrestricted
intercourse of intimate friendship his loss will
be realized ms a mournful personal bereav-
ment.
He was indeed a most lovable man. Thc»e
who knew him bed loved him most. \7e would
not, li we coaid, lift the curtain of sacred do
mestic life, or peer within the portal of that
altir now shrouded in deepest f orrow It is not
for us to speak of that home, which was the abid*
in* place of joy. of confidence, and of affection
as pure and be*utiful as earth ever poste'Sed.
As a friend we would only hooe to pluck from
arrow’s crown some simple flower .which per
chance may exhale a perfume to embtlm tbo
memories of him we mourn and quicken our
hearts with a new impulse toward a bettor, a
nobler life.
The character of our deceased friend was one
of rare and beautiful symmetry, with all of the
more refined and omlUd virtues in well ba'.-
anted and harmonious adjustment. He was
honest, truthful and sincere, llo wa* bright
and cheerful in the social circle. md< a J, lie was
the light an J life of the household. As a friend,
lie whb unselfish, obliging, sympathetic and
steadfast: as a brother, tender ami devoted ; as
a husband, trusting and loving. In the home-
bivd charities ot the heart, in the sweet seclu
sion of domestic endearment, tho character of
our deceased friend *b?ne with its sweet* st,
tendc re st radiance. Hu was one o* natuie*i
almoners of gentle deeds and kindly offices.
His personal integrity was never questioned
Ho was prompt and earnest in his convictions
and outspoken in their utterance. Devotion to
dul v with him may be said to have been the
leading paramount consideration of his 1*
\Vh?n but a delicate, stripling boy, in re-tpouse
to that watchword, ho donned his .musket and
knapsack and enliited iu the service of tho Con
federate States. His coram voder could pay him
no highar encomium than when ha testified that
“though young inyesrs. he alwavs did his duty.*’
In after years, when charged with positions of
I rust and responsibility, he was always ferupu-
lously exact and conscientious in the faithful
l»eriormance of every duty. It was with the
greatest and most painful relu tauce that be was
induced t) relinquish his post even when grim
disease had kin its cold linger upon him and
admonished him that L-e would In* roon called on
to pass “into the dark valley with its weird and
solemn shadows.” Time speed* on with its
noiseless an 1 rapid flight toward the grave.
Whatever ma/ be said of us w hen we too may
bn summoned to pass beyond the dark curtain
out of tbesuulight und starlight into tbo shad
ows of the great unknown, may we. to?, be per
mitted, like our latr-eniod friend, to leave be
llied us tho heritage of a sp »U**n8 name, and
may it be said of us, as truly as it may b>* said
him. “He tests in peace ” A Fbiknp.
