Seventeen-Year Locusts Arrive.
As predicted by the United
States Department of Agricul- (
ture, the seventeen year locusts
have made their appearance.
Millions of the little pests abound
in the woods of this section and;
keep up their peculiar song i
throughout the day. It is said'
that owing to the hard condition
of the ground at present 1
only a small per cent of them 1
have made their appearance so i
far. On the wing of each one
there is said to be woven a "W,"
which the superstitious would
have us believe is a prophecy of
war. So far no perceptible harm
has been wrought by the locusts,
and probably will not be, as it is
said they live only three or four
weeks.
In speaking of the locusts the I
Charlotte Observer says:
The Prophet Joel describes the
devastion of the locusts of
ancient days thus: "The seeds
rot under their clods, garners are
laid desolate, the barns broken
down: for the corn is withered."
But this has never had a parallel
in this country.The worst periodic
pests to agriculture in the United
States has been the grasshopper,
which swept several of the Trans-
Mississippi prairie States almost
bare less than a generation ago—
incidentally enabling James J.
| Hill to buy the foundation of his
railroad empire for a song. The
locusts now appearing are rather
|
iof that moderately pestiferous j
character upon which, together j
with wild honey, John the Bap- j
tist fed. It fact, they have al
ways been much relished for
; food in Palestine: and the Chi-;
1 nese, as doubtless New York's (
Chinatown will soon evidence,
! possess a similar taste. But cer
! tainly the locust's possibilities as
food will not bring him an invi
tation to North Carolina from us.
; His best trait is that after lying
dormant in the grub stage for
seventeen years he lives the life
I of a winged insect for only three
or four weeks.
Sudden Death Of Mr Sr.uire Ven
able-
; Mr. Squire Venable, of 1007
North Liberty street, died sud
denly of heart failure last Friday
at 4 o'clock. He was found on
the floor by his wife.
Mr. Venable had been in feeble
J health for some time but had
been feeling better than usual
for the past two weeks.
The deceased was born on
April 6, 1835, in Stokes county
and was married on July 17th
1875, to Miss Columbia Gentry,
also of Stokes county. He is
survived by a wife and six chil
dren.
Mr. Venable moved to this
I city four years ago. He was
elected as clerk of the Superior
court of Stokes county twice on
the Republican ticket and also
represented his county in the
state legislature.—Winston Sen
