Ex-senator Hill since his retirement from

Mr. Hill returns to the practice of law and
to political field where for so long time
he was easily the central figure. OF the
future he speaks with reserve. But none
of his friends counts him out of the run

early and potent temperance as the lead

AID FOR FLOOD sUFFERERs.

AiR r VI T isOOlJ DIt ElNlLiAc.
 
 While discussing plans for alleviat- ing the distress of the worthy poor and destitute, feel that it will not be amiss for me to call the attention of your Honorable Body to the great distress and destitution prevailing in the eastern counties of our State by reason of the unparalleled flooded condition of the Mississippi river. The fair city Of Helena, and many towns and villages situated in our eastern tier of counties. have been inundated for many days, and the res ources of local relief committees have been taxed to their utmost, yet have proved inadequate to even par italy alleviate the vast amount of suffering, sickness and sorrow caus- ed by the relentless flood waters that have broken past all human barriers and are sweeping away the earthly possessions ? of thousands Gf our once happy and prosperous fellow citizens and their families. ssiY worthy pre- i decassor, some two weeks ago, when
 the cry fur relief wiis notas nrgent as now, called meeting of citizens for the purpose of deyising means to
 aid the flood sufferers, but his own unavoidable absence from the city
 on or about the day designated df,uhflacs, raotIta1 ;v, o et;r., ,+4o.,<I
 ance and the formulation of no plan to carry out the laudable purpose
 for which the meeting was called. l would suggest. as a speedier plan
 to attain the desired end, that the ] Council designate q general relief or subscription committee, consisting
 of not less than two citizens of each ward, to cooperate with them in
 making an immediate and thorough canvass of the city for contributions i of hioiiG35sr saad and clothing for the
 Arkansas flood sufferers, and that
 such contributions be forwarded, without unnecessary delay, to the
 local relief committees at Helena and
 Memphis, near which latter city
 thousands of our homeless people are still in camp and dependent up-
 on the charity of strangers for their daily sustenance. l believe. further,
 that the great emergency and the
 excellent financial condition of our
 city. as shown by the annual report
 of the City Clerk, would justify the
 City Council ill making an appropri-
 ation for the relief of flood sufferers,
 thus smulatiDg tue worthy example
