The electric light plant in this place,
which has been out of operationfors some
time past, has been purchased Through
Capt. George Baylor and Col. B.
d. Gibson, attorneys for the Messrs.
Shepherd,) by Messrs. John A Livers
and a. Errter, of Gettysburg, and
Henry S. Riley, of Hanover Pa. These
gentlemen are men of means and enter
prise, and propose to put the plant
in first class order and have it in full
operation by the first of November next
We trust, therefore, that they will meet
with liberal encouragement. They are
also largely interested in other valuable
enterprises in the Shenandoah and Page
Valleys, and it is not improbable that this
investment here may be the entering
wedge to bring to us larger and much
more important plants. We give them a
cordial welcome, and trust that they will
do well here, and they and our town and
all other interests may move rapidly for
ward in the line OF successful advance
ment.

THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH.
Situation Between VicksburS and
New Orleans Causing Apprehension.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 15.-While the
condition Of affairs in the Overfiowed Mis-
sissppi delta is reported brighter tonight,
the situation between Vicksburg and New
Orleans is causing the greatest apprehen-
sion. The river continues to rise in the
Louisiana levee district, and weak spots III
the levee are being strengthened and
watched day and night o. c. Stubblefeld.
the country correspondent of the Agricul-
tural Department at Annapolis, Miss. says
the suffering in Sunfiower county,
which forms part of the delta, has been
greatly alleviated and that most of the
country is now dry. Farmers are busy
plowing and planting cotton and If matters
grow no worse that the county will re-
quire any, assistance from the government.
Statistics of the number of flood sufferers
in Bolivar county have been compelled by a
committee appointed to look after the dis
trIbution of the government provisions
They show $4,000 people who are now or
soon will be fed by the hand of charity in
addition to 1000 head of live stock. The
water at Rosedale has not receded.
The first train that has entered Clarks-
dale for many days has arrived there
Trains are also being run from Clarksdale
to Minter City and Phillip and from Lulu
TO Jamestown. The officials of the Yazoo &
Mississippi Railroad are doing all that can
be done TO open the line farther to the
south and il is thought trains will be run
as far south as Cleveland within short
tine.
At Greenville the river remains station
airy, the gauge tonight reaching 446 feet.
The weather throughout the delta is clear
and pleasant
Hon. A. j. Aldridge, of the most
prominent planters of the overfiowed delta,
who resides near Arcola. says nearly all
the laborerS OF his section will be cared
for by the local landowners and he IS
strongly Of the opinion that the government
relief will tend to demoralize labor. The
river reports at GrcenVille for the past
three days have given the people new hope
and courage. The water may possibly re-
cede by May 10 and If so good crop may
| be made
| At Helena the situation is unchanged. AT
| q large meeting of the property owners of
| the city to-day ii was decided to begin the
| erection of a new levee around the city.
| At Memphis the river rose one-tenth of a
| foot in the twenty-four hours ending to-
| night. An additional slight rise is looked
