State Bee Inspector Visits County In Search of Foul Brood.

The last legislature passed a law giving the state entomologist jurisdiction to stamp out diseases among bees. He sent his inspector to this county recently to look into reports of foul brood among the bees of the north end of the county. It is reported that he found a big apiary near Virgie and another near Fair Oaks to be badly affected with the disease and ordered the destruction of the hives and bees. The law gives him the power to order such destruction whenever he is satisfied of the existence of foul brood or other diseases in their malignant form in any apiary. — l ' l ’ 1 The Big Store, under the new management, sells goods cheaper now than ever before.
