A few days since Mrs. Pender, in hauling

disposed TO regard them as worthless paper,

MEMORIAL DAY.
AN IMMENSE CROWD THRONGED
THE TOWN.

Last Monday was Federal memorial day.
The town was literally crowded with some
two thousand colored people, men, women
and children, from Atlanta, this county
and adjoining towns. to participate in the
ceremonies of the occasion. 1t was the
largest crowd we have seen here on me-
molial day.
The a. m. train brought the G. A. Z,
men and their wives and the Fourth Ar
tillery Band from Atlanta, and they march
ed at once to the cemetery.
The grand stand was occupied by the
speakers. Music was disconrsed. Prayer

of Boston, delivered en- address. A poem,

of Atlanta.
The graves were decorated with small
United States flags, after which the floral
decoration took place.
In the afternoon another train Of seven
coaches arrived from Atlanta, bringing
three colored military companies, and
another large number of cOlored people.
They repaired at once to the National
Cemetery where speeches we're delivered
by the Captains OF the companies Nose
Bentley and Jackson McHenry. 9. C..
Wimbish also delivered a speech The
speeches were conservative and counseled
the colored people to be orderly and prove
themselves upright and law abiding citi>
zens.
The immense crowd thronged the park,
filed the streets and sidewalks Lemons
ade ice cream, meat and cake stands were
located on the streets and the crowd pats
ronized them literally.
There were evidences that whisky had
been brought along with them, as some
we're seen under the influence of it.
By half past six the last train carried
them back to Atlanta and once more the
town resumed quiet, peaceful condition.

Both of the wounded men will doubtless

HUMAN SKULLS.
And Relics Of Race Before the Advent
of the Indians.

Inc Atlanta Constitution has the follow
ing: There is a merchant in Marietta who
is very fond of old relics. His store 'front.'
ing the public square is almost filed with
old war relics, gathered from old battles
fields by himself. The sign over his door
is enough to attract attention. Over the
door is the head of some large bird show
ing only its BILL then large r, followed
BY pair of names, such as are used on
pillow horse. His name is Bill r. Hames.
and it is never forgotten when his sign is
once seen In front of Mr.. Hamess store
is showcase filled with relics OF race
said to have lived in this country before
the Indians. Mr.. Hanes was out fishing
lew days ago on the Chattahoochee river,
and found these old relics, where the river
had washed away the banks. One of the
most peculiar of these is what could we'll
be termed giant cigar holder. It is of
stone, and has several different figures cut
on its surface. 1t will probably weigh
half pound.
Large crowds gather to look at these un.
common curios. In his store Mr.. Hames
has large boxes filled with large shot, she'll
and canister, and old swords. pistols,
guns, bayonets, which he gathered on
Kennesaw mountain, now owned by him.
Another very uncommon sight is box
filed with human skulls, which have been
gathered on different battleGelds. These
he purchased.
/ A large section of a pine tree stands in
the store, in which is embedded shell
which sank deep into the hard wood, but
did not explode. The tree grew many
years with this shell almost il it's heart.
For these old relics and An old confederate
suit many old United States coins, dating
as far back as 1888, he has refused large
sums repeatedly. Mr.. Hames says that he
and several Others made a living after the
war picking up bullets on Kennesaw
mountain, and selling the lead.

TERRIBLE FLOODS
RAGING ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER.

The st. Louis Republic confirms
the rumors Of an awful destruction
in Arkansas Valley. The towns of
Chicet City, Pendleton, Redtork and
Hellendel have been literally wiped
of the earth. Not only are the
houses gone, but the very earth on
which they stood. Ten thousand
people are actually famishing. In
the four towns named 900 houses
foated out to sea.
The river at Arkansas City, Ark,
rose higher than ever KNOWN. The
water has cut all kinds of queer
capers. Bayous and sloughs that
have hitherto run down stream dur
ing flood times rushed up stream at
lightning rapidity, regardless of all
laws OF gravitation, taking not only
the farmers fences, bus actually tax
his crops by the roots, soil and all,
carrying it no man knows where.
Whole fields are reported from
Which every particle of lose soil has
been swept away. The backwater
at Arkansas City is $40 below that
of 1890. Six miles west it is report
ed up to 1890. and up about the
Amos Bayou country it is way above
1890. The water from the Arkan-
sas passing through Gum Swamp
and other places is now pouring over
the banks into Bayou Bartholomew
In a number of places and overflow
ing that stream, damaging the plant
ing community along its banks.
A trip through portion of the
submerged Districts of the Arkansas
and White rivers reveals the fact
that the stories of suffering have not
been halt told. Without any att
tempt at exaggeration it can be said
that the entire valley is in a con>
dition bordering on state OF horror.
In Desha county, Ark, one of the
richest farming counties in the
south, there are not 1000 acres Of
dry land to be seen outside Tacoma
circle. Not farm has escaped, and
OF. the entire population, with the
exception of few negroes who are
roosting in second stories Of out
houses, not u human being is 10 be
seen.
ARKANSAS Cry, May 30.-This
city to-day is under eight feet of
water. There is no dry land any>
where within two miles of the town.
Everybody is living on the second
floors of buildings. There are one
hundred villages in the valleys of
the Arkansas, Red, White and st.
Francis rivers which are depopulat>
ed. They have been swept away
and never will be rebuilt. Only
200 of the 10000 residents of Chicot
and Desha counties remain.
