The insects that have appeared In Buford township, and other parts of the county, are nothing but red "lady bugs" and should cause little concern, Mr. Broom says: "I feel safe in asserting that there is not a boll weevil in I'nion county." Relative to the aiiearance of the army worms, Mr. Broom has Issued the following statement: "The Federal Department of Agri culture sent out warning a few days ago for farmers to be on the watch for the fall army worm and to fortify themselves with the necessary poison to combat them. Mr. Hall Wilson discovered them on his farm near town yesterday morning in large numbers and immediately look steps to check them.

The enemies of temperance and prohibition are members of a bloated the Brewers Association. Their members sympathized with Germany in the world-w ide effort to suppress autocra cy. They had spies t- wateh every military movement, and were largely responsible f ir the horrors of subma rine warfare. They are repugnant to our government and its institutions, and were fi"'i7.:c by war-time prohi bition.

His field Is the World, and he has made the trans gressors of many states realize that Jordan Is a hard road to travel. To hear such speeches is trttlv refresh lug, and ,t reminds one of the minor ity report of Caleb and Joshua.

Nearly three hundred dollars worth of silk shirts were worn nt a recent party given at !h home of a colored woman in Monroe, according' to re liable parties. A prize of 12 had been offered for the prettiest silk shirt worn at the affair and all those pres ent, numbering between twenty-five and thirty, were contestants. A ne gro in the employ of the Heath-Morrow Company was the winner with a shirt costing $12.60. Shirts, it Is said, were worn that cost 115, and none of them sold for less than $10. The Heath-Morrow Company negro won the priie by the beauty of the niatrlal, and not on account of Its high cost. A committee made a mi nute Inspection of each shirt before making the award. Many of these negroes worked an entire week for their lone shirt. . IN.
