new School Law, which requires that every parent or guardian assess his chil-

less this is fully complied with, such child or children will not receive their pro

bring their deeds or tax receipts.

LaGrange, January 29. 1903.
BURN THE STALKS.
T. B. Stone of Sealy came up to
LaGrange Thursday and purchased
100 head of cattle from Joe Rey-
nolds. Incidentally, in forming
the acquaintance of some of our
citizens, he imparted the informa-
tion that the farmers in his neigh-
borhood are now busy paying their
respects to the weevil, while that
destructive pest is feasting on the
cotton stalks. The information
furnished by Mr. Stone should l>e
read by every farmer who has ac-
cess to the columns of this paper.
Mr. Stone says that the farmers
near Sealy and San Felipe have
had a new cutter made by their lo-
cal blacksmith, which is nothing
more than a 4x4 scantling about
ten feet long, with about five blades
twelve inches long, fastened at the
bottori of the scantling, at an angle
of forty-five degrees. The usual
appliances for fitting a double-tree
is added and a span of horses or
mules attached. These blades plow
about two inches under the surface,
cutting the roots of the cotton
stalks at the proper depth. The
stalks are then all gathered togeth-
er and burned. In this manner
the average farmer can clean his
entire cotton field in about a week.
Mr. Stone says that all the farmers
who tried this remedy last year
were much in the lead of those in
his neighborhood who did not.
The Journal has all along con-
tended that the burning of the
stalks was the best remedy known.
Reference to our files will show
that our first remarks in this con-
nection were made in the winter of
1899. At that time Henry Meyer
of Swiss Alp brought us several
stalks and requested that we split
them. In each stalk was found four
to six weevils in the larva state,
very much alive. Little attention
was paid to the matter then, and
later every one believed poison
would kill the weevil. Actual ex-
perience has exploded the latter
theory. Consequently, it is up to
the farmer now to burn the stalks.
Another experience with stalk
burning is related to the editor by
J. L. Morgan of Plum. A Mexi-
can tenant on ®ne of his farms
burned all the weeds and stalks on
the farm, and, to lie complimen-
tary, had the place looking like a
garden ready for vegetable plant-
ing. Although somewhat opposed
to the idea of destroying the stalks,
on account of their fertilizing prop-
ties, Mr. Morgan permitted the
Mexican to use his own discretion,
and the outcome was that the Mex-
ican produced almost double the
amount of cotton, as compared to
the other tenants. This presents
an important fact for the doubter
to contend with.
Wednesday evening, January 21,
at the opera house, LaGrange chap-
ter Daughters of the Confederacy
celebrated the anniversary of the
birth of General Robert E. Lee.
The evening was cool and pleasant,
the attendance good, and the entire
audience heartily enjoyed the priv-
ilege thus given them of assisting
these loyal Southern women in do-
ing honor to the memory of the
South’s peerless son.
The first number of the program,
a Confederate Medley—“Dixie,”
“The Bonnie Blue Flag,” “My
Maryland,” etc —was rendered by
Prof. Wilson and two of his pupils,
August Streithoff, jr., and Frank
Reichert, jr., two lads of about ten
years of age, the boys with violins
to Prof. Wilson’s piano accompani-
ment.
J. M. Byrnes introduced John T.
Duncan, who delivered an eloquent
address laudatory of the life and
character of Lee, which was hear-
tily applauded.
Misses Gertie and Jeannette Al-
exander rendered an instrumental
duet, violin and piano, which was
well received.
Mrs. Hattie Lillard read selec-
tions from the poems of Father
Ryan, the South’s beloved poet
priest, which were tenderly appro-
priate to the occasion.
Mrs. S. G. Wilkins sang the
beautiful old Scotch ballad, “Annie
Laurie,” in splendid voice.
Miss Lou Holman recited a poem
written by Miss Conner of Eagle
Lake, which was first read by the
talented young authoress at the U.
D. C. convention at Fort Worth,
where it was awarded the prize as
the best original poem. The poem
and its superb rendition were hear-
tily applauded.
Misses Beatrice Shaw and Lizzie
May Holloway performed a most
pleasing piano duet, followed by an
appropriate song by Mrs. Joseph
Koss.
Little Edeline Franks recited
“The Sword of Lee,” which reci-
tation touched a tender chord in
every heart.
Prof. Wilson favored the audi-
ence with a song, which closed
the evening’s program, with the
exception of the presentation of the
crosses of honor to the old Confed-
erate veterans by the ladies of the
U. D. C. As the names ot the
veterans were called they came for-
ward and received their crosses,
cast in nearly the form of a Mal-
tese cross, from the metal of the
cannons used in the war of ’61-5,
containing in bas relief various Con-
federate emblems, appropriate gifts
from Southern women to Southern
soldiers.
Major J. M. Byrnes, in behalf of
himself and comrades, returned
thanks to the Daughters of the
Confederacy for the crosses.
At the conclusion of the exer-
cises the veterans and guests were
invited to partake of a splendid
lunch prepared by the Daughters
and their friends.
