Citizens of Dawson have taken $6OO of
the stock and a like sum has been sub

and so encouraged are the promoters of
the enterprise at this evidence of approv

A NEW COTTON PEST.
Destructive Insects Brought Across the
Rio Grande from Mexico. f
WASHINGTON, APRIL 12.—The depart
went of agriculture has just issned a
circular to cotton planters relative to a
new and very destructive insect that ! ag
been brought across the Rio Gra' de
from Mexico iuto the cottou belt of Tex
as and which, during 1894, sericusly
injured the cotton crop over ;a te:iitory
of about five thousand square mil gy It
punciures the bolls with its beak. fnd
lays eggs in the hole thus made. ‘l'ne
grubs batch and ruin both the seed and
fiber, thus destroying simultaneously
both products of the cotton plant |
The Texas legislature, at the sugges
tion of the agricultural department, is
discussing the question of uarantiniug
the cotton from the infected section and
the enforcement of the remedial work by
act of law. The department of agricuit
ure has appointed a skilled agent, who is
located at Brownville, Tex., and who
“will study the life, history and habits of
the new pest and experiment extensively
with remedies during the coming season
! under the direciion of Mr. L. O. Howard
chief entomologist of the department.
Inasmuch as the insect is new to Ameri
' can cotton plauters there is much yet to
be learned about its habits bsfore prac
tical remedies can be suggested. This
insect is now in Texas and threatens to
spread to other coiton states, and the
entire south is, therefore, interesiel in
the problem now confronting the Texas
legislature.
; HIS HAND TORN,
lA Distressing Accident to a Little Boy
' Last Saturdey.
Li.tle Willie, the six year old son of
! Mr. W. F. Locke, met with a severe and
distressing accident on Saturday. He
‘and a playmate, Rogers Carver, were
amusing themselves with a corn sheller
and his left hand was zaught in the ma
chine when he aitempted toremove a ¢ob
that failed to pass out. The livle fellow
stood the pain heroically, and told those
who tried to release his hand that the
only way to do it was to get an axe and
break the sheller, which was done. His
han 1 was badly torn in the paim and on
the back, but Dr. Goneke, who dressed |
the wound, says no bounes are broken.
The little fellow is doing well now. |
He Plays Marbles.
Tax Receiver George Cannon came in
last week from the 12th district ~f ler
rell county, and related a good one on the
champion marble player of that section,
Jobn Oxford. It seems that for
the past three or four years Mr.
Oxford had beaten all the marble|
players who came his way, and felt he
could do the same for Mr. Canoon. The
challenge was given and accepted when
10, the score at the close of a series of
games stood two for Cannon and one for
Oxford. There's not so much crowing
from the champion marble player of t\he
12th district now.
