Tie weather for the past week has
been just the kind wanted for growing
crops. The rain on Sunday came IN
good time, and has done a great deal
of good, allowing anumber of planters
to 90 in their fields on Monday. The
frost of some weeks ego killed very lit
tie cotton and in consequence very 1T
tie had to be replsnted. Both cotton
aud corn are looking well. On the front
places whore seepagewater has been ieii
the crops are not go good, but we learn
have improved in the past few days
by the fall in the river and the percep.
tble drying out Of the land. 1t has
been many years before since the crop
prospects looked any better than they
do at the present time.

About the checklist thing that has

took place on Monday evening last,
when a negro named Henry Smith,
stole skiff from the levee in presence
of several people aud made across

man on the barge, discovered that he
was making way with the boat and
gave the alarm, when five men were
put in The large skiff "Boaz," with
Sheriff Dunn and Mayor Hamley, who
set out to catch the thief. He had
nearly half of the river the start, but
the five oarsmen soon gained ION him

Both boats landed about the same
time, and Sheriff Dunn commanded

We have several articles from the

Our whole community thought that
the levee had given way on Tuesday
morning when they were awakened
from their slumbers by the ringing OF
the fire bell. The night marshal did
not understand ringing the bell and in
stead of q rapid pull of the clapper il
was very slow. The people hated to
see one of our citizens loose such q
valuable piece OF property, but they
were much relieved when they found
out il was fire instead of water.

A small dwelling house near the
corner of second and Scarborough
streets was set on fire on Sunday night
last about one O'Clock. Coal oil was
sprinkled on the back part of the
house and the fire started, and burned
almost 10 the roof before the occupants
woke up and discovered the room full
of smoke. By hard work the fire was
extinguished with very little damage.
The house is occupied by two woman.
one of whom had trouble last week
with some parties, and suspicion points
to them, although there is no evidence
that they are the guilty parties. II is n
terrible thing to take revenge in such
an awful manner, and tits to be hoped
that the guilty person or persons will
be found out and punished. Hanging
is not too good for the person who

The Fifth Distric. Levee Board
should build storehouse to store
their plumber in. The Board has sew
eral hundred wheel barrows, dozens
of spades, shovels and axes, and several
fats and skiffs that should be gotten
together as soon as the high water
fight is over and kept for the next fight
that is to come, instead of being
allowed to be lost. The Board should
also have the revetment work taken
down and the lumber piled up at some
point. There are several hundred
thousand feet of lumber that can be
saved, and ii will not be right TO see
this lumber taken away by different
ones. Lake Providence is at the head
OF the system and we believe that il
should be built and the material stored
here.

The citizens of our town were awak-
ened on Tuesday morning by the ring
ing of the fire bell, and by its slow
ringing a great many thought that the
levee had given way either above or
below town, and instead of coming out
TO see, hurriedIy commenced to get
their belongings together. Those who
did 90 out soon found that it was not
the levee, but that it was the gin house
of Mr.. r. j. Walker that was on fire
and fast being consumed.
The engine and hose carriage was
gotten out, but there was nothing to
do but to cave the buildings on the OPP
posite side of the street from burniug
which was done.
The fire was of incendiary origin,
and was started near the center ..utes
building, and in a vs,.y 5aames. 1t
