State Officers.

We feel constrained to congrat-
ulate the state upon the reelection
of her state officers, by the Legis-
lature. They have made records
that have withstood the most
rigid Investigations, by the CON-
lnittee appointed for this purpose,
thus proving as lies every charge
that has been brought against
them. The triumphal march OF
James A. Harris shows him to be
one of the shrudest men in the
state, and a victor over what is
known as the ring of bosses. He
is to be admired as man of honest
convictions and of fearless spir-
it; true to his opinions and un-
daunted by that of others. Secre-
tary Morgan's election over Hon.
John w. Morton shows him to be
a man Of political strength as Mr.,
Morton is generally admired and
liked throughout the state. Sec
rotary Craig was elected by ac-
climation. 1t appears that he was
the candidate of all parties.

Serious Loses.

The gravity of the situation
with some of the river men is but
slightly known by many of our
people, men who had large amounts
invested in ties and lumber and
have lost them, are to be sympa-
thized with. A number of merch-
ants have been compelled to move
their stocks of goods from their
stores. Many barns and houses
that have, hitherto, withstood all
former rises have been moved
away or torn from their founda.
ton.
Different ones have lost large
lots Of corn and some have lost
stock. Edgar Cherry's barn OPP
posite Savannah, and the war
house from the lower landing were
drifted away. 1t is said that the
lower end of the river is filled
with lumber and ties and wrecked
buildings. But few boats have
been able to reach our landing for
several days, owing to the fact OF
being detained by assisting the
people on the lower end Of the riv-
er in their effort to save peanuts
and corn and other stuff that was
being lost. They report much
distress among the people.
The whole valley is an mum
dalton that rivals the highest ev.
or known by the oldest river mer
some claim the high water mark
of 1882, which is the highest OF
record, has been surpassed a
least ten inches. Great exposure
to mems lives in trying to save
their stuff has been encountered
Much expense has been occasion
ed in moving freight that was ex
posed and in trying to save an(
protect buildings. We would sup
pose Savannah merchants to hav,
spent at least $4,000 in all.

To disabuse some peoples minds
who have placed a misconstruc-
ton upon an article which appear
ed in these columns some time
ago relative to Hons. L. d. Patter.
son and AttOrney-G General Boyd,
we will say, that there were no
reflections, whatever, intended
upon them. We simply said that
they and their court were charged
with being expensive, and at the
same time referred to the reports
of the chairman Of the county
court for our authority. We only
observe these things as other
citizens should. We don't think
there is another circuitin the state

High Waters.

The surging and roaring torrents
of the mighty father of the waters
have become terror and has even
delt obstruction to some people.
The whole valley has experienced
great foundations, but from Cairo
down it has been for several days
entirely submerged, drowning
number of people and much live
stock, destroying many houses
and bringing devastation upon the
country. Many sections that have
been protected by levees have eX.
perienced the worst by breaks or
the levees being cut by miscreants.
Many times great rivers have been
turned into unprotected neighbor-
hoods, drowning women with their
infants clinging to their necks
and ON different occasions whole
families have been victims of the
madened waters. Mississippi
county Arkansas, Lake County
Tennessee and Pemiscot county
Missouri, are almost wholly under
water while other Arkansas cOun-
ties are suffering greatly. 1t is
said at one point from Memphis,
out acrossCr ittenden county back
water extends 125 miles. The
levees on the lower part of the
river appear to be standing better
than those higher up, notwith-
ing the more immense volumns of
water. The Governor of Arkansas
has been compelled to call.out the
militia to guard the levees to keep
them from being cut by miscre'
ants. Many towns on this great
river are wholly protected by lev
ees; being much lower than the
river when in an overfo wing state
then when the levees are broker
they are much endangered.
