at a late bour on Saturday eveuin:
last, and after two hou,s' hare
riding, ina heavy rain, reached TIL,
hospitabe mansion Of that prince
of hosts and good fellows, Dave
Rowland and passed the night be
meath bis shelter;ng ROOT. Mr.
Rowland and his excellent lady
, have phced us under obligations
for thek kind attentions, which will
not sos be forgotten.
Abot noon next day we passed
throug the little village of Benton,
which is tea miles east of 1azoO
City, md which we found still as
the gave, it being Sunday. On
reachbg Yazoo City we had the
good fortune TO be detected to the
Moul Street Restaurant, an ele
CANT 1tt'e tavern VIII ich is well kept
by Mesrs. Kent & Kline aud their
atteu6ve clerk, MIR. 4. Z. Villa mson
This establishment we made our
head ua.ters during our brief stay
in To city, and we can freely say
suchan institution Is credit to any
tow5 even much larger than Ya1oo.
O Monday mos ling we found the
strets well peopled aud much bust
nestlOing, though we wee told it
waia dull day for YazOo, as most
of De country people were keening
at 'me during the holidays. Low
