The Grays and Field Flowers are to
Meet on the Diamond in How
ard County

The Howard county Press is re-
sponsible for the following para
graph:
The Hope Grays have accepted
the challenge extended by the
'Field Flowers" of this place. The
young ladies are much elated that
they accept and if the Grays will
meet them on their own field, will
promise to make the game interest
ing. The Field Flowers are in good
trim, fleet Of foot and determined
to win, Miss Florence Forshee will
act as umpire and promises "fair-
ness to all, favors to none,
Now if there is anything in the
world that will draw a crowd, it is a
sweet young lady in bloomers, and
when it comes to nine of them scat
tered over a field and scampering
arouug like young lawns, it is too
much heaven, to think about it
would look indeed like an "Adamless
Eden" We write this to extend
an invitation to the "Field Flow
ers" to make a date here on Labor
Day and we promise them that they
will all go home with their pockets
full of silver and an engagement
ring on each and every finger. We
have lots of bald headed bachelors
down here who want to marry and
a bloomer will catch them every
time, Come, little butter cups, and
you shall have all of your expenses
paid and a gentlemanly nine to bat

JAIL DELIVERY.
Charles Davis and Will Williams
Make Their EsOanA

On Saturday night the hour be-
ing 1870, Jailor Roy Nash, as is his
custom, went into the run around
of the Jail to close the doors of the
steel cages in which were confined
Charles DaYis and Williams, charged
one with grand larceny, and the
other with intent to kill, and when
in the open run around one of the
prisoners appeared at the door of
the cell and asked Mr.. Nash for a
light, as he wished to read a little.
Mr. Nash stepped closer to him and
the prisoner grabbed him, and the
other one came out and they soon
had the jailor's pistol,
They proceeded then to place him
in the cell and fasten the door with
a stick and made good their escape,
When Mr. Nash regained his lib
erty he went direct to the Sherilr's
house and they made search for
the fugitives. They heard of them
as going west and learned from a
negro woman on Rose Hill that
they would go to the Junction and
take a train there for the far and
woody west,
They have not been caught up to
this time. Sheriff billiard and his
clever jailer, Mr.. Nash, are quite
put out about it and will use every
effort to catch them, A jailor that
is humane to his prisoners, like Mr.
Nash, is generally the one that gets
the worst Of it. Too much latitude
should not be given prisoners, espec-
tally in the dead of night when
there is no one to lend assistance to
the jallor,

SWERVING A BIG STREAM.
The Waters of tho Red River May be
Diverted.

The Mississippi River Commission
has reported upon the ACCESSIBILITY
Of cutting off entirely the present
communication of the Red River
with the Mississippi River and com.
pelling the first named river to find
its way to the Gulf by the Atchafa-
laya River, The majority report
Gavors this separation and says
that natural tendency is in that
direction, Satisfactory connection
for navigation between the Missis-
sippi and Red Rivers could be afford
ed by locks on Bayou Pldquemine,
and the Improvement of that bayou
and the Atchafalaya River, The
difficulty presented would be the me-
cessity for heavier levees below Red
River, as that stream now carries
much Of the food water Of the Mis-
sissippi to the mouth of the Atch-
alaIaya River and down that
stream to the Gulf, Lieutenant
Colonel Suter, in minority report
recommends artificial communca-
tion by canal between The two riy-
ers, as the only possible solution Of
the difficulty, The canal already
authorized by Congress to connect
the Mississippi River with Bayou
Plaquemine could, he thinks, be
made to furnish all the necessary
accommodations for Red River COM
merce. lie believes the closing Of
the Red River both desirable and
necessary, but says that the
Plaquemine Canal should be pushed
to completion,

The reporter was shown a pen
sketch Of Prof G, IT, Bryant, who
is now in jail at Boston for the muir
der Of Prof Ellis, The sketch was
made by the Professor himself, ON
letter paper Underneath the pic
ture he has written a defense of
himself and a request that the re-
'cipient Of the same help him get u
fair trial, We learn a batch Of
these pictures have been addressed
to different citizens Of this city, We
read one Of these and it was a rep
etition of the trouble that existed
between ellis and himself prior to
the killing, stress being placed ON
the fact that ELLIS had written to
parties, that his mother was dead
when she was alive The Court,
we believe, excluded testimony Of
this kind in the trial, as it was not
directly the cause of the killing,
and it was testimony Of this kind
that Prof Bryant relied on to get
clear.
