8 Mr.. Peter Matheson has agreed to
fnrnish the plank to floor the bridge
across Baxter bayou on the Cor
ban road. This is liberal contribu-
ton. II the merchants would con-
tribute as literally as the landing
keepers, there would be no trouble
watever in raising the money TO put
the road to the Hills in good repair.
So far about sixty or seventy dollars
have been collected.

The weather this week has been
fine for cotton, although corn is not
doing as well. In the lower end of
the parish worms have done consider
able damage in some places, the boil
worm doing the most. Cotton is
fruiting nicely, but corn is suffering
from lack of rain in great many
places. With a late fall pretty fair
crop can be made.

Last week fisherman j. w. Barbour's
skiff was stolen by unknown parties.
He left on the Ruth Immediately in
search of it, and caught up with them
just as the boat landed at Vicksburg.
He got off the boat and met them as
they came up the river bank to a
crowd of people, when they offered
the skiff for sale. Barbour asked
them their price, and they replied,
"three dollars" Barbour replied: III
will take it and both of you too" So
he marched them two miles up the
pike 10 the town where he turned
them over TO the tender mercies of the
law, each Of them getting the goodly
allowance of thirty days in jail and
thirty dollars apiece. Barbour re-
turned on the Ruth.

Miss. Maud Taylor returned last
Monday morning from very enjoy
able trip to the fair. She also spent
several weeks al the Valparaiso Nor
NAL School in Indiana, just short dis
lance from the White City. This
school, Miss Taylor tells us, is largely
attended in the summer months by
teachers from all over the United
States. Here they receive thorough
course, aud are subjected to almost
the same discipline that pupils are at
colleges. A teacher can take any
course he or she may chose. The
lectures are very fine aud the instruc-
ton of the most cultivating nature.
The lady says that it is quite an inter-
esting sight to see teachers of all ages
attending tits school, and studying
with as much perseverance, as If they
were taking thorough college course.
Miss Maud speaks as if she has had a
most pleasant time during the summer
months, and from the descriptions of
th&varid scenes she has been through.
we almost envy her her enjoyment.
Welcome home again.

they came through the streets some of
the boys jumped on, while the writer

they all aIighted as happy as larks,
after swallowing each at least half
