From New Hampshire Sentinel, 12 June 1834, p.2
Contributed by Bill Page
A gentleman writing from Cumming, Forsyth Co., Geo., to the editor of the
Milledgeville Times, says: The locusts in countless millions cover
the land, though at this village there are none, within one mile and throughout
the north and west sections of the country, their deafening notes remind
one of the plagues of Egypt. So numerous are they, the swine become fat upon
them; the native Indian gathers them by the quart, and pronounces them the
greatest.
