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.
