tuted an international beauty tourna

number must surely be a Geographic
mistake-only ten obtained prizes, and
the first prize, a diamond bracelet,
was taken by Cornelia Szekely, aged
twenty. This damsel is a brunette,
with brilliant eyes, whose figure, sup
pie as a twining creeper, recalls the
type Of ancient Greek statues. Her
photograph will not be ready for some
days, owing to a little acct
dent which happens even to
English ladies, her dress not
having come home from the mil
liner, but it will be soon sent to every
illustrated paper in the world. and we
shall have an opportunity Of judging.
Meanwhile, before it arrives, no doubt
numerous challenges will be hurled ia

MIRA YUMA, DEER CREEK, Miss ,
September l6.-The business men OF
Louisville are probably unaware Of
the rich trade opening up TO them
from this direction. Your North
Alabama road penetrates the richest
mineral district in the world, and
Jour Chesapeake and Ohio, by its ex-
tension to Memphis, will soon place
you in connection with the richest ag-
ricultural and planting district of the
world. The Wilson road, as it is now
known, is being rapidly constructed
from New Orleans to Vicksburg, and
from Vicksburg up Deer creek,
through this county. To this extent
it is located and under contract for
construction. An engineer corps has
left Memphis to locate southwark,
and meet the parties from this d.
rection. Major Samuel Black, from
Louisville, has one half OF a contract
Of ifty-six miles north Of V~icksburg,
and is at work vigorously through ouI
fields. He is surprised at the light.
ness Of the work, until where he
leaves the creek and approaches the
Yazoo river zeal that crossing. Every
person who visits this section is sur
prised at the beauty aud fertility O
the country, and its comparative i'm
munity from overflow adds TO it
worth. As an illustration of its mex
haustible fertility, | have a large ielC
of cotton that has been in constan.
cultivation for forty years withOu
special fertilization, aud to-day Their
is a 6rst-rate prospect for an acreage
