and it is supposed that she was a!
slightly shocked. There was no dam
age to the house or anything else' in
the locality. The funeral. of Mr.
Adams occurred the following day at
Mars Hill church, a, large concourse
of sorrowing relatives and friends
attending. The services were con
ducted by the pastor, Rev. Williarii-
son. ^
Farmers throughout the county
are now face to face with the menace
that has been held up before them for
so long as an evil that they would
he oner or later have to combat—the
boll weevil. And if reports are true
all the previous warnings have not
been in vain for a strong fight is be
ing put up by the majority of gAsc
whose fields have been invaded.
The various meetings that have
been held for the purpose of aiding
the farmers in the weevil fight have
been'decidedly > advantageous. Mr.
Culpepper, county agent, is keeping
in close touch with developments and
giving whatever assistance possible in
the way of advice, and instruction to
the farmers generally.
The situation is being handled in a
practical, common sense way. The
,t nearly all the cotton that
attacked had reached a suf-
advanced stage to prevent
from dol4^1ta worst has
been a big advantage. This with the
careful attention that is being given
to the finding and destruction of the
pests encourages the-belief that a
fairly good crop will be harvested
from the season’s planting.
