How Dead Soldiers Look.

A British army surgeon is authority for the statement that the cause of death is clearly shown in the expression of the face of corpse on the field of battle. He states that those who have been killed by sword thrusts have look of repose, while those killed by bullets usually have pain of an intense nature clearly depicted.

Today has. been one of the busiest ever
known in the Delta, not in the ordinary
avocation, but in arranging and directing
forces for work upon the leveesI The
citizens of aGreenville and surrounding
country realized yesterday that quick
and rapid work was necessary to prevent
an overflow, as the, water was steadily
rising and was already near the top of
the levees in many places. The presence
of Governor McLaurin, Railroad Commits
sioner Evans and Warden of the Peni-
tertiary Walter M. McLaurin and prom
inent railway officials gave encourage
ment to the people, and they promptly
organized forces for the work today. The
planters of the levee districts were noti-
fed last night that the services of their
laborers were needed for work on the
levees. Special trains from the south
brought to Greehville 4SO able-bodied
men, while the trains over the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley, brought more than 100
from Leland with another load from
above Greenville. These men will be d.
yided into squads and put to work under
competent engineers. The water shows. a
rise of only one-tenth here during the
past forty-eight hours. There are prac-
tically no weak spots except Australia,
which is now said to be safe.
