The gnat swarm was driven away by strong winds. But now, according to the Associated Press, the gna+s have returned, and they seem to be worse than ever. School children are obliged to wear netting over their faces. The bite of this gnat resembles the sting of a bumble-bee, and several pupils were bitten so badly they fell ill, Polks in the South are wondering what they can do abou4, the new plague; and they are hoping and praying that someone will tell them how to get rid of the pesky nuisance.
