A number of leading and prominent colored men and women were in Bloomington last week, brought here by the fact that the District Sunday School Convention of the A. M. E. church met on Wednesday. The visiting brethren were well cared for by their people here, the Convention was characterized by harmony, good feeling and an intelligent appreciation of the importance of the work in which they are engaged. There were twentytwo delegates present beside a number of visitors. The Rose Bug pest has spread very rapidly, and is now all over
town. It not only pays attention to the grape, but is especially de
structive to plum and apple trees.
It is without doubt the most destructive insect that has ever visit
ed this locality. It seems to be as numerous as Democratic office seek
ers, and as ravenous. we have
tried numerous remedies, including coal oil emulsion, and Persian insect powder, aud the simplest and most effective way to fight them, so far as we have found, is to douche them with hot water almost at the boiling point, and sprinkle the trees and vines thoroughly with dry unpacked ashes while the dew is on
or the trees are wet. Martinsvi He
Republican. Daviess Co. Gazette : Notwithstanding the talk of the failure elsewhere of the wheat crop, indications
in this section of the country are
that late rains have brought it out wonderfully, and that the crop will not be so short as heretofore feared
The corn is growing luxuriantly
and cannot fail to turn out well.
In these times of doubt and distrust it is advisable to look on the bright side, and not exaggerate apparent misfortunes.
