—The continued dry hot wea-
ther is telling on the corn crop,
sad farmers say unless we have

will be cut short, with no fodder
crop. A good rain, however, in
the next few days, will insure a
good corn and fodder crop.

the Advertiser last week, seem-

gram of the Twenty-seventh An-

B. Watson, who devotes his
leisure time to /arming. He says
in looking over the field he dis-
covered no weevils, but did find
several squares which had been
bitten by the weevil. He says
cotton in his locality is doing
well, and corn, just splendid, but
can boast of but little fruit.

nesday, the festivities continuing far
into the night. A disagreement among
some of the loaders knocked out tho

least unpleasant jar during the day or
night.

WEEVIL DISABI EARED.
PURELY PERSONAL.
John White, of the Cedar Creek
neighborhood, was in town Wed-
nesday. He reports the weevil
having entirely disappeared from
his cotton field. He says he used
two pounds of London purple,
two gallons of sorghem molasses
to the barrel of water, with which
he poisoned forty acres, and that
in a careful search over the field
he found but two weevils. He
decidedly favors the poisoning
and says planters should begin
the poisoning at once.
A CARD OF THANKS.
To the many kind he ;rtcd citi-
zens of Bastrop, who attended
our mother, Mrs. Ellen Warren
in her recent fatal illness, and
with kindly hands and sympa-
thizing hearts, prepared her re-
mains for shipment, we express
most grateful thanks. We were
strangers, but not neglected, and
the kindly acts and consoling
words of sympathy greatly con-
soled and relieved our grief bur-
den hearts. May Gods choicest
blessings ever rest with the good,
noble hearted people of Bastrop,
will ever be our prayer.

YOUNGEST KNIGHT TEMPLAR.
From Texas FrerniHnoir
In your April issue you copy from tht
Huntsville Item a statement saying that P irl't'"n granted,
Simmie Blalock was at Huntsville for
the purpose of having the orders con-
ferred upon him by Trinity Commandery
No. 29. "This makes Simmie probably
the youngest K. T. in Texas, if not in
the United States. He was 21 years old
on May 2H, 19(H), and was made a M. M.
Dec. If), and received tho degree as a
R. A. M. during the first week in Jan-
uary," etc.
Colorado Commandery No. 1 does not
like to be behind in any good work, and
has a younger sir knight than Sir Sim-
mie.
W. M. Andrews, of Bastrop, Texas,
was 21 years old August Hth, 1900. Put
his petition into Gamble Lodge No. 241,
on that day, and received the M. M. de-
gree in that lodge Nov. 2H, 1900; the R.
A. M. degree in Bastrop Chapter No.
96, January Urd, lUul, and the templar
orders in Colorado Commandery No. 4,
February 21st, 1901, and was made a
Noble of the Mystic Shrine by Ben Hur
Temple on February 22, 1901.
This, I think, makes Sir Andrews the
"youngest templar in Texas, if not in
the United States."
Courteously and fraternally,
John O,Johnson,
Recnriiur (•olonulo Commandery No 4, K T
Austin, Texas.
The above is taken from the
Texas Freemason. W. M. An-
drews is a son of Rev. Reddin
Andrews, pastor of the Baptist
Church at Hillsboro, and a can-
didate for Congress from this dis-
trict in 1890. Will, at the last
eloction of officerj in Bastrop
Chapter was elected Secretary
and at the election of officers of
Gamble Lodge will be elected
Secretary of the lodge. He is
proving a zealous Mason, fully
appreciating its beautiful cere-
monies and understanding the
great and fundamental principles
of the time honored institution,
justly entitling him to the noble
name of Mason, while his skill
and industry will qualify him as
a workman who needeth not to be
ashamed.
