A representative of the Observer
vent down in Brooke county this
morning Vt attend « demonstration

Till machine i» an invention arranged
to be worked by hand and ii run
them in trough* at the bottom
each side.
The demonstration was made
the home of W. H. Muse. Several
neighbors gathered to witness the
performance of the machine. It-de
veloped that weevils are scarce in
that particular section, and in the
field where the j arty went to try out
the machine there were no forms on
the ground and ho damage to the
cotton to indicate that they were get I
ting in their work there. After a oth.
considerable search being made with
the natural eye, and with the hands'
being used to open up the forms and
torn over the leaves, no weevils were
found. Finally it was decided
to make a hunt for them with the
machine anyhow, and soon they be
gan to fall into the troughs of the
machine. Less -than a dosen rows
were gone over witti the machine
and they yielded atgrft one weevil
to each row. The firmer* present
were greatly, impressed with the
demonstration. They Considered that
"the machine performed quite a re
markable feat and the man in whose
flel4 the demonstration was made
bought one on -the spot and will put
an operator in his cotton at on

several surprise attacks made against the French troops. The
artillery duels continue in the Cema bend.
