Blaine to Take E1escise.

Mr.. Blsins is to take athletic exer-
else, and he is to follow the advice of q
professional trainor. When the idea
was first broached to him, Mr.. Blaine
was rather chary about foil owing #,
fearing that his action might be misuL.
derstood. and that it would be said he
was training for the presidential race.
But finally Mr.. Blaine's fears in that
connection were overcome, and he con.
sented to see an athlete and obtain his
advice.
When William Muldoon, the wrest-
Ter, was here Mr.. Blaine summoned him
to see him at his home, and so Muldoon
called on the Secretary of State, and
they consulted together. Mr. Blaine
asking The eia Mt what his diet was, and
what exercise he took.
Muldoon kindly told Mr.. Blaine what
his habits Of life were, and then pro-
ceeGed to write out directions to be fol

was much impressed with Mnldoon' s
views on physical culture. and he in
tends to follow them Gut, and to sec
what the result will be.

BY THE HUNDRED
We're Negroes Drowned in
the South.
Horses, Mules, Cattle, Men and Wo.
men Swept Away By the Waters
From Swollen Rivers.

COLUMBUS. Miss, April l3-The lat.
est advices from the low lands. just
south Of here, indicate that over one
hundred negroes have been drowned
II will be weeks before anything like
a correct estimate of the loss of cattle
Gun be obtained. The bodies OF horses.
mules and cows are constantly floating
down the Tonbighee. For miles on
both sides of the river there remain
nothing but poverty and desolation.
DR.. J. D. Hutcherson, one OF the
largest planters in this state, has just
returned from one Of his plantations in
the northern portion of the county, ,and
reports great destitution from the over
aow. He lost seventy-fve head of cat
tie, and one o: his laborers. A, K. Keith.
living few miles south. saved his
mules and cattle by putting them in
the parlor and dining room where the
water was only two feet deep. His
family and 6!ty negroes were 10 the
same story of the residence.
The waters have receded about seven
feet and continued to fall slowly last
night. Most OF the county bridges have
been swept away. and if will be weeks
beiore ordinary traffic will be regularly
resumed. Every available craft here
has been used day and night relieving
the sufferers. carrying out food and
bringing in the destitute people. On
one small mound there were forty peo
pie, and as many more cattle and
mules. On another there we're Sc venty
people and cattle by the hundreds.
The negroes Of all the lowla.ds have
lost everything on earth they had, and
there are hundreds OF them here being
fed by the city. The white p.ople have
been unable to get negro to do any.
thing or any kind Of work towards res
cuipg other negroes without paymenr
in advance.
Twelve negroes have been drowned
within three miles Of this city. At
points on the river below here the loss
of life is very large. The railroads
have abandoned all trains westward,
anu there are many washouts. Their
tresties are swept away and all the
roads have large forces repairing dam
ages, but it will be week before the
trains will he running. There has been
no Communication before today with
the outside world since last Wednes-
day. The waters ale receding, bnt it
is again raining. One rescuIng party
was upset and three negro boys were
drowned three miles above town. All
the others climbed trees and were
found. Another rescuing party we're
upset and spent twenty three hours in
the trees.

Mr.. Will Whitcraft, represent.
ing Col. Rempel, was in Columbus,
Wednesday.
Sunday morning April II. There
will be a parlor car attached to
train for Columbus; seats only 25
cents. These cars are very fine
and no doubt will be appreciated
by the excursionists going to Col
umbus on this day as the rate of
fare will be only sl.OO round trip.
We intended to continue pub
fishing the Cows Arbor Day proc
lamation until the date named,
April 80, but to continue its pub
lication in the face of the 'pruned'
trees on the school grounds would
be an insult to the Governor and
sarcasm on the programe for
that occasion.
The Prohibitionists of Hooking
Co. will hold a convention at their
hall in Logan, on April, 30, 1892
at p. m. for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to the State Com
vcntion to be held in Columbus,
on May, 25, and 26, and for such
other business as may come before
the COW .ntion.
When the children on Arbor
Day march around in the beautiful
school grounds dedicating trees to
the memory of the good and the
great, singing, "woodman spare
that tree," they should be halted
in line, and directed to study the
art of ''pruning" as displayed on
the naples before them.
Governor Mckinley in his Arhor
Day message directs the attention
of school superintendents to the
property of impressing on the
minds of the children the care
that should be considered In not
mutilating and ruthlessly destroy
ing trees. Our superintendent
need not waste words. He can
point to the "pruned" trees in
front of tie building.
Squire Hutchins, of Gibson
vile has disposed of. his property
and removed to Baltimore Fair
field county. We much regret
the going away of Squire Hutch
ms. He is one of our best citizens
and man of public affairs, always
on the front line OF progress.
He was a lighthouse of Demo
cracy on our western border, and
a leader in every campaign. He
takes with him and his family, the
hearty good wishes of his many
friends.

OLD STRUCTURE.
Should bs Sent to the Columbian
Exposition.

The old buildings are being re
moved from the John Brow cor
ner, preparatory to the erection Of
the elegant l. o. o. F. temple.
Upon removing the weather board
ing from the old frame it was dis
covered that it was built of huge
logs, roughly daubed with mud.
1t presents an ancient appearance,
rising as it does in all its massive
strength, & fit barracks for Gre
clan phalanx. Now speculations
are IN the breeze as to the time of
its erection. Some had it the
home and dwelling of the daunt-
less Chief Logan, when In his old
days he sat outside the massive
front door on the rustic bench, and
with eyes cast far away in either
direction, raised his mighty arm
with the full assurance, 81 am
monarch of all l survey" And
even did some, in this belief,
search about tor the huge pipe
used in the luxury of the old chief
and suggested a chemical examin-
alton of the soil, that ashes of the
same might be discovered. con-
vinclng of the authenticity of the
speculation.
Others were not 80 ancient in
their ideas. They put it at "a
years old, being the third house
erected in Logan. The timbers
were cut to the rear of the build
ing near Hunter street. Main St.
at that time was national road
drilled throuth the dense forest.
The redskins were not SO numer-
Gus then, having been pushed far
ther west by the whites who were
fast telling the massive oaks
through the forests and convert
ing them into habitable dwellings.
Logan, the chief, had long since
passed away and only was his
name still lingering, as it were,
among the forest trees, whispered
bv the breeze and echoed back by
the huge rocks that over-hang the
bubbling streams. The settlers
caught up the theme of ripping
waters and twitterlng birds and
planted an eternal monument, (the
City of Logan,) to the name of
that brave chief, who loved the
white race, though they smote
him on the cheek with the foul
hand Of deception.
This latter speculation may have
some foundation. The house has
the appearance of the hasty and
massive structures erected IN those
DAYS when, in the dense forests,
they were to serve as both home
and barracks. In viewing this
ancient hovel it bears to ones
mind that old quotation, "Not
many gen erations ago where we
now sit, embellished with all that
surrounds civilized life, the rank
thistle nodded in the wind and
the wild fox dug his hole unscared." "
We suggest that the log struct-
ure be moved to the public square
and allowed to remain few weeks,
and bathe itself in the glare of our
electric lights. Then it'll. have seen
the growth of our city from the
spine knot to the "glaring
electric"
