Plague Of Caterpillars.
The people arc waking up to the
fact that this is one of the greatest
caterpillar years on record. This
pest is usually except
the spring, but there have been
three crops this year. Along with
the caterpillar has another
pest shape of a small worm,
of a brownish red, with small White
streaks, infests certain of the
shade trees, notably the
wood poplars, by the thousands
literally strip them of leaves.
The superabundance of
worms and bugs is accounted
for by the long wet spell. Super-
Mose Thomas, of Elm-
wood Cemetery, has waged a re-
war on the pests all sum-
mer and by dint of hard work has
kept the cemetery comparatively
free from them. Asa result, the
cemetery trees look as green and
fresh as in the early spring,
striking contrast to of the
shade trees about the city. The
New York and Baltimore papers
have lately devoted columns

that nothing like it has ever been
The only way to get rid of
the caterpillars at the present time
is to bum them. The tree ill lie

Parental Responsibility.
The sermon of J. N. Booth
in the Baptist church, Sunday
morning, from the text the
Young Man was most time
and it is a pity that more of
the parent-, the community did
not hear it. pointed out many
evils that endanger the youth of
today, and warned parents of the
responsibility resting upon thorn.
One strong point made by the
speaker was that many parents
have more regard for the care of
their stock than for their boys--if
the animal has wandered off out of
place there is diligent search until
it Is found nod safe under shelter
again; but if the boy is out of
place and away from home at night
be is given no concern whatever,
bat allowed to wander wherever
his may lead.

were two offers for the bonds. One
was from Parson, Leach Co., of

the door against any marriage
