We have all heard talk of the weevil for many years, and a few of our folks here and yonder went down in (eor gia and Mississippi to see them, and returned and said that they did hurt the cotton crop "some," but if any man will look our' fields over now an'l see what they are doing I believe the average man would say you cannot make cotton if you hnve the boll wee vil. Yet some say this will be the worst. year we will have an(d if we make any cotton this year it will be al right to plant allotier year. Well iaybe it will but we 'are from Missouri." Mayor C. . Davis with the co operation of his co-workers has just, about completed a general clean-up wlen it comes to w 'ork inig up our streets and this good work just at tilis timtle has iamde quite an improve llent ill oir town, when it Comes toI looks of the situation.

It is understood that all the churches will get together 1 and tryv to get one omong oir best preach ers that call be found in this State, and a l-elmuine old time revival is hoped I'or. And if the whole people I will throw themselves into the Iove-i ment, we Know great thin"gs nall be accomplished. While we may think wC ar1le t Mighty good people yet I am vcry much of the 'opinion that a sphiitual awakening will make us a better people, and g'ive u1s a better town to live in. A.
