house the surrounding citizens Gall
colored peOple) had come In skiffs and
were waiting there for the high water
10 go down. | here got into one OF the
large skiffs tied to the coal barge, and
being somewhat of an Oarsman, pulled
mp alongside OF our boat, where my
vile and three other ladies and the
always and ever pleasant and agreeable
ladies' man, Col. &. o. Grimes, got
into the skiff and | rOwcd the boat =,
with them in it, over TO the gin house,
where they got out and went in and
inspected the "cullcd" persons present
abode. We found them comfortably
situated, somewhat crowded, but all
happy and contentcd. We saw and
talked with one little old woman who
had lived here ever since the war. She
told ns this was the highest water she
had ever seen. ] am writing this at 4
p. IN. Col. Grimes is up in the pilot
house, just now, accompanied by the
good looking young widow. lie de-
votes great deal of attention to her
However, this is quite natural. We
now come TO Greenville, Mississippi,
and it is nearly dark. This town has
about ten thousand inhabitants, mostly
colored people. 1t is surrounded by a
leyee to keep the water out of it. 1t
has two railroads, but both are com
pletely cut off by the high water which
surrounds the town. This being Sum
day night, Just after leaving this town
all the passengers having been out on
the guards to see the city, we now go
into the ladies' cabin and sing old
fashioned Sunday school hymns. You
ought TO see Col. Grimes sitting up by
the side OF the widow singing. You
would take him to be about 81 years
old. After enjoying the singing awhile
we retire for tho night. Monday morn
ing, we find ourselves still journeying
along, meeting steamboats, now and
then. We find the trees all along here
with their green foliage Oh them. We
pass Vicksburg without landing. The
town looks beautiful with its church
spires and new, as well as old, build
ings, tall water tower, (very much like
ours) and beautiful green hills. On by
we go. You can have no idea of the
width and devastation OF the river
down here. With our field glasses, W G
can see the people camped out on the
levees; others on rats of logs; some OH
flat boats and resorting to all manner
OF ways to escape temporarily from
their houses, which are flooded with
water. We are now approaching

A Farm Idy'.

ThrO' the barn lot, TO the meadow, singing
sweetIy, Katie came,
TbrO' the fragrant hawthorn hedges that out
lined long green lane,
To the spring oi running water, where the
cattle come 10 drink
Where The blue forgetmenOts grow and nod
upon the bIiuk;
Katie came with pnils a-swinging,
Calling up the cattle, singing
"CoO-e, coO-e, come up Brindle, come up
CoO-e. coO-e," like a flute the notes ring
clear,
While Listening finger hoping more of those
sweet notes To hear.
Now / wonder II. with pencil. her imsge
could portray,
So thai II you chanced to meet her you would
know her any day;
All her pretty airs and graces. and the color
of her eyes.
That need not tell you-you can see II in
the skies
When the day II bright and clear like the one,
with pals a-swinging
Katie came to call them singing,
"Coo-e, coo-e, come up Brindle, come up
Sukoy,
Coo.e. COO e." like flute the notes ring
clear
While the wild birds listen, wondering II
some strange bird IL not near.
There she stands, pretty picture, with her
curling golden hair,
While It's rings and taDgles almost hide her
forehead fair;
Like u peach her cheeks are blooming, and
her mouth IL like rose,
Holding pearls In rows full even; with a
slight tip tilted nose.
| And q chin. soft. round and dimped like u
bsbY's, holds a charm,
While her sleeves tucked un to elbows. show
her softly rounded arm.
This Is Kate, with pals winging,
Calling up the cattle, singing,
l"COo-e, coo-e. come up Brindle, come up
| Sukey,
Coo.e. coo-e." like a flute the notes ring clear,
And the cows come slowly up, knowing milk.
| Ing time IL near.
As the cattle come up to her, Katie pats them
| with her hand,
For she knows Il little petting makes them all
| the gentler stand.
Now she stOOps; the milk IL flowing In n
| steady stream and white,
While the pail is swiftly alling, with foam
| like snowdrift light.
All the while Is Katie singing,
Soft the Aute-like notes are ringing
Out upon the air: "Coo-e, cOO-e time il 1y.
| ing,
10 their nests the birds are hleinR,
Robin soon will come to carry
Back the pals; we must not iarry,
COo-e. coo-e, Robins come, and my work I,

Then she leaves the cattle standing, as sb,
quickly turns to go,
stoops and picks little daisy, laughing says
"MY fate I'd know"
Robin leaves the pals TO help her count tn,
leaves AZ down they fall.
First, he loves me, loves me truly: last, h,

For all answer RObln taS es her unresistIn:

Mingling notes like sweet bells ringing,

the county, and TO the party to be filed
this year are those of judges of the
county court, representative and asses
sor. IL il not necessary to mention the
special reasons why these offices arc of
peculiar Importance at this time. But
suffice IL To say that the judges of the
county conrt are of vital Importance to
the county from business standpoint, ,
and 10 the party from a political view.
The Importance of these offices is 40
great that no man can afford TO allow
his personal feelings to influence his
actions in tho selection of men for the
county court. Al llpersonal considera-
tions should be laid aside, and those
known to be the very ablcst and truest
men selected for these places. Some
have probably not thought of the seri-
BUSINESS OF this matter. In saying tins
the Times docs not mean TO cast any
reflections on the present Judges or
anyone else, or TO favor anyone further
than to impress upon democrats the
Importance at this time of selecting the
very ablest men to be had for the
county court. II is too important Il
matter to be tritlcd with or to deter
mine hastily. SO be thoughtful. and
if you have any prejudices, or axes to
grind, in the name of patriotism lay
them aside.
Editor e. G. Buchanan, of the Pike
County Post, remarks:
"The Post-Dispatch is the only re-
publican paper in Missouri that favors
tariff reform; but singularly enough,
1t always tavOrs the election of con-
gressmen who will vote against any
reform whatever. lt reminds us oI
the Kansas politician, who said "that
he was in favor OF prohibitory law
but was opposed to the enforcement
of it,
Editor Bob White, of the Mexico
Ledger:
GAS our readers are aware, the Led.
ger has not heretofore been an ardent
supporter of the Hon. Richard Ii. Nor
ton in his contests for the democratic
nomination for congress; in fact, W.
have uniformly preferred some one
else. We have reached the conclusion
however, that Mr.. Norton is making
an able, industrious and painslakins
representative, and that it would b.
for the best interests of the peopl
generally aud the party particularly
to give him another term In congress.
