The pavilion erected by the Frisco

of the World's Fairis surely a place of
no little interest, in fact, it is one of
the many attractions.
Visitors to the World's fair are cor
dially invited to inspect the Frisco-
Rock Island System building. Here
will be found a place of rest, d urteous
attention, besides, there will be distrib-
uted, free of cost, souvenirs and de-
scripiive literature of the great Sou'h-

overlook a very important attraction

Pest in Cornand Cotton. QyER THE COUNT V.
\\ e were surprised to hear reports |
that some kind of pest has done d- in-!
age in many of the corn fields. Ti:
stalk dies as the resu't <.f the attack.
No description has been t iven the Re-
view of the pest. It's damage ie not
extensive yet, but we hear of it both
in Comanche county and in the Chick-
asaw nation.
The cotton pest is a webb worm. It
first at peais on the careless weeds and
then attacks the cotton. In a fi-w places
it oempletely destroyed young cotton.
Mr. N. J. Fenn of West Rush Springs,
says that J. H. Tugglc has lost a tei -
aere track of young cotton. Every leaf
has been stripped. He also said that
the larger cotton has not been affected
yet.
Surely I ugs, worms, etc., can't cheat
us out of our fine crop prosp' cts. The
Review is hoping to announce next
week that the danger has passed and
that the damage is only nominal.—.

Wayne was attending a school taught

chronic about the country, and was in-
formed that the count y was very poor,
that th° price of land was too high,
that the people hail begun to find out
that it wasn't any account and that
prices would be a great deal lower.
The investor told him that if that was
the case he wouldn't buy, and the
chronic said, "Well that would be my
advice." At that poin' in the conver-
sation they came to a pretty good farm
and the investor told him that he be-
lieved he would stop and see if he could
buy that farm and unloaded the calam-
ity howler #vT topped to see the owner
of the place. The investor came on to
town and was relating the above to

opinion of the "chronic'' which by the
