The boll-weevils which were sent to

was made In the ROBESONIAN, are
typical, ' genuine cotton boll-weevils.
according, to. a letter . in response - to
the : inquiry.- The- chief; entomologist
siso aavises in nis communication that
these cotton boll-weevils are schedul
ed to do serious injury in this .parti
cular section of the country this year.
These weevils were captured by Mr.
O. O. Dukes in Gaddy's township
and Mr. Dukes at the time stated that
they were the genuine cotton boll
weevils. If a chamber of commerce
was ever needed for Fairmont, now
is the time. Destruction to the cotton
crop is very . f probable and other
chambers of commerce and like or
ganizations are doing great good in
making the result of the insect as
light as possible. A meeting was calL
ed for last Friday night for a re
organization but it was attended like
so many others have been that it
was impossible to take any action
