City Boll Weevils.
“In Spring n boll weevil’s fancy

Friday when ,7. A. Queen ir., of Ca

weevil netiling on his ai*m like a
bride on ner honeymoon. Now** Mr,
Queen is familiar with the type of
weevil that keeps its domicile in the
cotton patch but he was rather curi
ous about a concrete-walking, city
pet-.t. Yes. it flew on Mr. Queen’s coat
sleeve while he was walking up one

Probably if we were living back in

of a destructive weevil year. Better

Combination Radio and

the radio has been invented. This
double instrument ha been receiv
es! by W. A. Pendleton at his music
shop and )k quite an innovation in
instrumental entertainment. A prom
inent phonograph manufacturer re
cently reported that the growing pop
ularity of the radio has caused a
slackening in the sales of phono

has not found this true. As a matter
of fact his phonograph business is
continuing as briskly as usual and
since he has added the radio instru

gratifying Mr. Pendleton says the ra
dio is a most wonderful instrument,
but. will never take the place of the
phonograph.
