the Army Worm Peril NATION OF SLAVES
arises:
Wriggling along through the
grans, imumg uiuir way uiwiuiy
nmid the stubble of grain nnd
hav fields: drnwing their sin
uous trails in dust oi the beaten
roads, dragging themselves
through the oil that covers the
highway, and eating their way
through every bit of green veg
etation that confronts them, the
army worm goes marching on.
Worse than a fire demon in its
destruction of the fields and gar
dens and orchards; worse than
the nlaguos of Egypt in their
fetid, nutrifying state where
they havo at last succumbed to
1 1 .7 r i ii a
incir iaic; worse man a jjeai-
Hence while tney remain m
sight either alive or dead they
leave a horrid nightmare of
memory when they are gone.
This j ear they have come only
in spots; that is, they are to be
found only in a few places so
far, but they may yet become
a dreaded pest in many more.
The locality spoken of last week,
down on the Sandy roud a few
miles west of Fairview, is the
worst afflicted and the people
there are at their wits' end to
rid themselves of the curse. A
large area has been devastaed by t
the creepy, crawling things,
leaving nothing green in their
ruthless journey.
So numerous are they that
they invade the dwellings, .and
no place is too private or saorcd
for them to enter. Into the par
lor, nantry or bedroom they
crawl making themselves the
disgusting companions of the
people and all but driving them
irom tlioir homos. A continual
warfuro is being waged and
millions of them are offered up
as wriggling, seething masses
of living bodies in the destroy
ing ilamcs that have sent forth
tlioir fierce, red, forked tongues
to receive them. Other millions
havo found a martyrbm in shal
low ditches, smothered with
cartli or oaten alive by strong
concoctions that would eat the
very soul of an immortal. Thoy
have died by millions but there
are countless millions survi
ving, who will leave their shin
ing black lengths strewn along
tho surface of the earth when
they have donned tho bright
plumago of tho buttorlly and
soared away into the empyrean
bluo; beautiful winged creatures
of tho air, to deposit more mil
lions of fertile eggs, from which
will again come tho larvae of the
nlaguo when the cyclo of time
has marked their appearance
onco moro among tho living
things of earth.
Numerous stories nro told of
tho infliction as it is seen and
felt by tho human victims of the
army worm down on tho Sandy
road. Ono, which is horrible
and could only bo surpassed by
a tnlo of having oaten some of
them, is tho story of tho invas
ion of a bed room.
In tho worst infected district
a woman was nwakoned from a
reverish sloop by a stinging sen
sation on her arm. She knew it
to bo tho bilo of an army worm
and brushed it oir. Then she lit
tho lamp and made a search of
tho bed for her tormentor.
She found eight of them which
woro sacrificed in tho kitchen
Htove.
Think of it! Living, eating
and sleeping witli a pestilentian
curso tramping them under foot
nt evory Btep- guarding every
crevico against thorn and pray
ing for tlioir disappearance.
Scienco cannot guard against
them nor exterminate them.
Thoy come at groat intervals,
tho most horriblo, nauseating
and fearsomo pest that a fertile
brain can imagine.- Gresham

The usual anniversary sale is omitted this time owing to the Mer
chandise Conditions; we cannot tell where we will get manyof the things
handled in the Dry Goods line, nor what we may have to pay for them.
The same condition has created an unusual Supply of Remnants; we
have priced these at a reduction that will compel you to buy.
School will soon be open and we have prepared our stock of Hosiery
and Shoes accordingly. These are now in stock and were bought before
the war time prices.
We give you the benefit by not advancing our prices.
At the Men's Toggery the Clearance Prices will interest
you, and include Men's Suits, Hats, Shoes and Shirts.
