parauvely few disasters OF the kind are report

It's sufficiently in check and to keep herself
solid and solvent
Here is pointer for capitalists who
desire to invest in the safest field. The
resources of the south are unfailing,
and what is more the people have an
abiding faith in these resources. There
is something substantial back of our
industry and financial system. There
is no room or demand for any other
kind. The south possesses in abun-

wish for and there is less risk in in

In spite Of obstacles we have gone

Fortunately the levee board had built a new

the consequences would have been serious,

or stay the food The levee board claims con-
siderable credit for the building OF the new
levee, which was only constructed Ave
months ago. For several years the city
surveyor fought the idea OF the construc-
tion OF the additional protection, holding that
the old levec would hold for az least nve
years. The board did the work over his
head, obtaining the consent OF the state en-
gineers, and they claim that the work has
saved the city. The break will serve a les
son, and before the next high water there will
be double line of Nlevees all along the upper
part of the city. The board has also contract
ed for the building of levees along the lake and

not been either borrowed or stolen was very
clearly apparent during the naval rendez-

young lady visitor was delighted with
what she thought was an international
compliment, for she imagined the bands
men were playing America She was
not alone in her error. Hundreds of others
then ia that vicinity did not know that our
greatest OF patriotic hymns Is sung to a
stolen tune, aud that tune the most royal-
istic Of all airs

lifted bodily across the Atlantic, and that

nearer to be generally recognized as our
