GRENADA MISS, SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1884.

The Yazoo Valley Flag of April 26th,
says that they are now suffering for the
third time from the consequences of high
water. About half of Lefore county was
planted when this last and third rise
came upon them. AS to where the water
came from, the Flag speaks very indefi-
nitely, but the fact it acknowledges in
rather melancholy tones. With all these
setbacks, they will go to work and make
big crop, not such as might have been,
but enough to attract the attention Of the
outside world to the fact that if the Delta
could be secured from overhows, there is
no other such agricultural country on the
globe. Between gnats and high water,
our fellow citizens of the swamp country
have hard time; but they have faith in
their soil, and it never deceives them,
even in the last chance. The pluck OF
these swampers seems equal to any de-
mand Of high waters.

sible for one tenth Of the taxes, the cost of

agreement provides that no associate can
sell or rent his apartment except to per-
son approved Of by . majority Of the asso
ciates. So that, besides securing pleasant
neighbors, an associate in such building
company pays only Just his share Of the
expense of erecting the building and the
running expenses. He pays neither the
first profit Of the speculative builder, nor
the profit of The subsequent landlord, nor the
rent of the tenant who fails to pay, or
Of the apartment which remains empty.
This system has been found to work so
well that these home club cooperative
apartment houses are to be found all over
the city. There are several of them facing
on the Central park, and one enormous pile

Of which the crdinar, rents would be from

bought. The actual building measure. l75
feet front by 80 feet in depth, and is IL
stories high. Each floor is divided into 10
apartments Of four TO nine rooms each.
Every room in the building opens on the
outer air. -Four elevators carry people up
or down-one for servants and tradss-peo-
pie, one for furniture and trunks, and two
for tenants. The ground -four is divided
into four large stores on Twenty-third street,
and a restaurant, 80 feet BY 80. The re-
frigerators are a novelty; altogether there
are 81 Of them in the building. and each is
kept cool By coil which receives current

The plan Is the same exactly As that of
heating by steam, only instead of heat the
refrigerator receives cold, the degree Of cold
being regulated BY a clock. as with steam
The cost TO each tenant Of running this
cooling apparatus is not expected TO be
more than two cents a day for each re.
irgerator. which Of course. is one fifth or
onr-trnth the price Of ice for the same SER

Poetry.
The Lumbermen of Maine.

There were shouts In the crowded street.
And martial music strain,
And banner, waved. and loud drums beat,
As the men of the city came out TO greet
The lumbermen of Maine.
4 thousand strong and more
From the woods and streams came they;
From where the kennebec's fountains roar.
And the swift Penobscot twists the oar.
And Passamaquoddy Bay.
Strong knights OF the axe and pole,
Kings Of the raft and saw.
In brawny limb and dauntless soul.
BY the breath OF the forest air made whole.
And the use of natures law.
They marched with steady tread
Toward the front Of death, OF pain.
Where the ,plinter,'d stumps of the trees were
red.
And the river, waited to raft the dead
~ the lumbermcn Of Maine.
And a thousand more forsook
The axe aud the setting-pole.
And the forest camp by the swollen brook.
And in squads the vacant places took
To keep the torn rank whole.
Dusty and hot and worn
The regiment came to-day.
With battle-ias all soied and torn.
And 4 dozen fooile-s heroes borne
Behind on a rumblinz dray.
Through the city double tide
slowly they marched again.
With look Of modest. manly pride.
That made them tall a they marched beside
The throng of common men.
But hundred >trou. and three
They came from the baitle-plain;
The Others will never fell the tree.
or sing and lance, when the raft floats free.
With thc lmb-rlnrn Of Name.
