Thousandth Woman review praises Hornung mystery tale
A nostalgic late 19th century review discusses The Thousandth Woman by Ernest W. Hornung. It lauds vivid scenes and a loyal heroine, praising Hornung as master of detective fiction and noting the plot’s tight, convincing mechanism reminiscent of Poe. The piece emphasizes suspense, character depth, and clever plotting that sustains doubt about the hero.

How to Get Rid of the Corn Weevil in Georgia
Georgia State Board of Entomology outlines fumigation with carbon disulfide as the sole practical remedy for corn weevils. Gathered corn should be stored and fumigated in airtight cribs using 15–20 pounds of liquid per 1 000 cubic feet, with 24 to 48 hours coverage, repeating every few weeks if needed. Heavily infested ears may require shelling or separating infested from uninfested corn for effective control.
