course of business. There is no
thought OF abandoning these building
plans, no doubt MS TO tho resumption
of affairs just where they were Inter.
rupted by the overflow. 1t is mis-
take al which the people of the Delta
and Greenville laugh, to suppose that
the disaster will result In permanent
injury. Whatever may happen In flu
ture. one thing has been taught by
this experience, and that is that the
city of Greenville itself can and must
be projected from any danger in fu.
ture. The fact that It ia practically
the only dry land IN the Delta is of
Incalculable advantage 10 it. If It had
been spared from even partial over
flow the effect of tue flood ON its bust
ness aud credit would have been al
most neutralizcd.

1t Is fact which eutomologists have
long aud vainIy puzzled over that
there is some connection between
overflow and the appearance of the
dreaded buffalo gnat. The wise men
OF the Department of Agriculture
have made the question the subject of
long and learned articles in the Patent
Office reports, and ualuralists of the
Smithsonian Institution have vainly
tried 10 solve the problem The fact
remains that the pests appear in
swarms as the water begins TO recede,
and are often cause of almost as
much loss to planters rs the water it,
self by their destruction Of stock.
Already, while the genuine buffalo
gnat has not made its appearance IN
any numbers, countless myriads of
smaller gnats, the sure foreruunorI Of
the pest, have been noticed, and it
is almost inevitable that the tall of he
