BOLL WEEVIL DISCOVERED
Bug Pronounced to be Mexican
Boll Weevil Found Near Par
oquet Last Week.
The first specimen of the cotton
boll weevil ever seen in this part
of the country was captured on the
TV. A. Edwards farm near Paro
quet one day last week by John
Barber. It was brought to town
Friday by Ben Bray and is now on
exhibition at The Journal office,
where it has been examined by
quite a number of people who
have seen many of the weevils in
Texas, and all pronounce it a gen
uine boll weevil.
This is the tirst genuine speci
men of the weevil ever seen this
far north. It was reported last
summer that the weevil hail made
their appearance in Hempstead
county, but these reports were
later denied, and the supposed
weevil pronounced ‘‘sharpshooter
or something of the sort.
Ben Bray, who brought the
weevil to town spent last season in
Texas, and made a crop out there.
He saw many of the insects, and
is positive that the one brought in
is a genuine specimen of the wee
vil. Mr. Barber, also, has seen
many of the weevils and lie, too,
as well as many others who have
examined his bugship, say there is
no disputing the fact that it is a
genuine boll weevil.

WRECKED BY WASHOUT.
Pine 13luit, Ark.. May 12. A
freight wreck occurred on the
Iron Mountain road yesterday
afternoon just south of Pillar. Six
box cars loaded witu lumber and
shingles were dumped into the
ditch at the side of the track and
badly broken. One negro employe
on the train was killed outright
and another badly injured. The
