STAKKVILL& MISS- FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1909.
Flatwoods Letter.
Dear Mr. Editor:
I read with profound interest
what Mr. Smith had to say about
boli weevils eating up the cot
ton. I think be is correct.
There is too much talk and too
much money spent in trying to
prostrate and destroy the things.
It is shown, as Mr. Smith says,
that if one half or one third of
the lanu now planted be planted
in cotton, It would make more
than heretofore; put the other
in corn and other stuff.
The truth is, the weevil is the
best and cheapest fertilizer
on earth and therefore an
enemy to the manufacturers of
fertilizers and the expert weevil
killer. The experts want the
people to buy more fertilizers
and increase the pay of demon
strators of how to farm. Some
of them never demonstrated any
thing in their dear brief lives
and never will unless they
change their experiments.
Use better judgement in farm
ing, and if you will just let the
weevil alone, he will get
ashamed of himself, leave in dis
gust and will never be heard of
again in two generations.
It is said that about two mil
lion more bales of cotton were
made last year than the year
before. This is staggering to
Yours trulv,
Flatwoods Farmer.

For seventy years he was a

odist church and one of its most
active officers until disqualified
on account of old age. Prac
tically, he has been deprived of
the pleasure and privilege of
leaving his home for the last

feebleness.
Mr. Hale was married in this

known as Choctaw Agency, to
Miss Nfcncy McGee, who sur

happy union was a laree family.

Janies W. Ha'e, a popular trav
eling salesman of Jackson, Miss.;

Toland of Chapelhill. Texas;
Mr. S. E. Hale, a successful
planter residing near Columbus,
Miss.; and Mr. D. H. Hale, a

Hardware Dealers Association.
The funeral services were held
at his late home at 9:80 A. M..
conducted by his pastor, Rev. R.
H. B. Gladney, assisted by Rev.
Dr. Wier. The interment took
place at Fellowship cemetery
with Masonic honors of which
order he had been a member
since he first grew into manhood.
Ail the surviving children were
present on this solemn occasion,
except Mrs. Toland, who had de
parted from here for her home
in 'Texas just a few weeks ago.
The deceased leaves a large
circle of friends and relatives to
mourn the loss of a kind hus
band, father, uncle, and friend,
and a good man has gone to
his reward.
The News unites with the
many friends of the bereaved
family in this, their hour of sor
row and grief.
