THE JACKSON HUSTLER JOHN JAY DICKEY PUBLISHER JUNE 12,1891 ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR IN ADVANCE EXCERPTS Here is said to be a certain, safe and speedy cure for cabbage worms, cucumber and tomato bugs, and all such pests: Two quarts of coal tar are put into an open vessel, which is set in the bottom of a barrel, and the barrel is fillled with water. In forty-eight hours the water is impregnated with the odor of tar, although the tar is not dissolved in it. The water is then sprinkled abundantly on the plants and the odor penetrates every portion of the plant, killing or driving away the worm. As the water evaporates no stains or odor remains on the plants.Excerpt. The grand jury will have no more important duty than looking up those who are responsible for the condition of our roads. The reason is that the " New Era" is a failure without roads. The business of the country, increasing as it is daily, can not be done with the roads as they are. The condition of our roads is an incubus on our prosperity. If these men will stand by their paths there will be a forward movement in road making. Will they do it? J.H. Wardroper, representing Lexington Roller Mills, C.W. Miliken, representing Thos. J. Duncan & Co., and R.H. Bryan, of Lexington, came over from the depot Thursday night. The severe wind and hail storms the past week in Ohio and portions of Kentucky, did considerable damage to fruit and vegetables. In some places in Ohio the hail stones were as large as hen's eggs. Some women at Peger's Station, Ind., disguised as men, went to a house of bad repute which had long been a nuisance and taking out the inmates gave them a severe whipping. The Illinois Legislature has refused to pass a bill making eight hours a day's work in that state. ANNOUNCEMENT James K. Roberts, of Lee county, is a candidate for the State Senate, in this the 34th Senatorial District, subject to the action of the Democratic party. John S.
