Happy Homes. Musicial Homes.
There may be many happy homes
in the county, and we know there
are, but the home where a good
singer with a splendid organ or
piano *s in the family, everything
seems brighter, happier and to be
enjoying life. Nearly every house
that the singer and \Vliilden. the
music man, Tanner Hotel block,
has the instruments. He sells them,
too, and he sells them cheap and
consequently fast.

It is immense and a very costly one,
an ornament to any parlor. It is
to be given to the lady who re
ceives the highest number of votes,
married or singje,—each cool drink
sold at the fountain calls for a card,
you write her name on it, and after
2000 cards are exhausted in this
way the lady who receives the
highest number of votes has the
rug. The ladies name and number
of votes will be published in the

COTTON LOUSE ENEMY
One Insect That Proves to Ba
the Planter’s Friend.
the convergent lady-bug
Instead of Being Injurious to the Cot
ton Plant This Little Bug Is
of Inestimable Benefit to
Same.
Every one knows that the cotton. In
common with nearly ail other kinds of
plants, isflUlbject to the attack of in
sects, but -very few realize 1 lie im
mense variety of them that depend
more or less upon this staple for food.
The cotton worm, cotton boll worm,
Mexican cotton boll weevil, cotton
louse, etc., are but a few examples of
the most common, but. fortunately only'
a few are at all apt to appear, in serious
numbers, and these are very variable
in their appearance. Sometimes they
occur in such abundance* as to appear 1
to jeopardise the eutjL crop in a
more or less area, while
again their numbers arc op insignifi
cant as to pass unnoticed.
This striking variability is due. i\
part to a great many causes, some of.
them easy to understand, others niert*
obscure in their nature. Nothing is of
greater Importance, though, than the
yveather conditions at certain seasons ol
the year. Most insects thrive on a dry
and warm season, while tne opposite
is true of fungous diseases. Last year
the excessive rains and long continued
periods of cloudy weather made tlis
conditions very favorable for the latter
mentioned, and the result was an out
break, quite serious in some section It
of the fftngous disease known as cotton
anthj aapiosc. This season tile dry and
hot weather which has continued
throughout May and June, will, unless
July and August am extremely wm
render a recurrence of this disease
extremely improbable, but it has been
very .favorable to the insects.
Lu :kily rnost of the insect pests are 1
restricted to a Lvf generatttms per'
year, and it will -on! that, account re
quire more than ou*iy favorable season
for such varieties to'Jncrease to alarm
ing lumbers. A fewjtafe, however, dif
ferent in their nature anew
generation every teifls days or two
weeks, and these sorts will, unless
soitie other natural cause intervenes,
increase many thou/sand fold in the
coarse of a favorable season.
The cotton lo#6e Ipelongs to the lat
ter class. This inwe'et only requires
about ten days to develop from a new
ly . born young t.a -iili adwit capable of
producing youhgmn' its oVm account,

found crawling about over the leaves.
Both the young and j
tlie adult are very
voractious, and devour
immense quantities x/
of lice. Figure 3 is of the inter
mediate resting stage known as the
pupa, enlarged. This Is bright orange
iu color, with black spots, and may
be found attached to the leaves and .
steins of cotton, or other louse in
fested plants. The specimen from
which tlie drawing was made was at
tached to a leaflet of locust growing)
beneath a large plum tree which was
covered with lice. It is specimens of
this form which are more commonly j
sent us for determination, oftentimes ,
15,.0r 20 being attached to the tip of a
cotton stalk, and nearly always on
arrival some of them will have liatchf-1
into active individuals like figure 1
The eggs, which are not represented
in the figures, arc pale orange in color,
and are laid in little clusters In situ- j

very strong anad active from ths*!

food. Two or three weeks, If tlie !
weather is favorable and food abund- i

transformation, and they will pass sue- j
cesslvely through larger and larger \
stages of active crawlinsp larvae, then !
through the resting stas^or pupa, and j
finally becoming active again, they ao*)

'Vinter, but with courage unabated.
As an illustration of the queer places j
which they choose for winter quarters.
I once found a large colony, perhaps
numbering hundreds, snugly ensconced
amongst the bases of the leaves which
thickly covered the twigs of a young,
long leaved pine,

Every one of them represents the- ■
