ACROSS the Bayou L'Argent, a
high leyee was built, which has
always been considered a point of
danger. Some years ago Commits
sioner G. G. Goldman insisted that
unless BERN or banquet was built
behind the levee it would break
and overflow large section of the
country. He was opposed by the
authorities but went ahead and
had it built anyhow, and the re-
suit is that he has won the ever
lasting thanks of his people, fol
without this BERN there would
have been disastrous crevasse ct
that point. The people of that
neighborhood call it "Goldman's
Monument" which Is an appro-
pirate name for it.

In EVIDENCES OF the energy and
pluck displayed upon the levees
by the people of our parish, we
would state that. twenty miles
from the angle in the Waterproof
levee to the. Ferriday levee on
Lake Concordia was raised four
feet above the 1890 water IN less
than one week, and this was done
Just before the Yazoo flood came
out at Yicksburg. Capt. Derby
gfees the people of this district
great praise for the manner in
which they have worked on the
leyees, and there is no instance
more to their credit than the work
done on this twenty miles
For long distance up and dowr
the river, sacks of dirt stand from
three to four feet above the water
lines and presents an impregnabl'
front to the mighty Mississippi

Comstock" for aninspection of the
lower Concordia line of levees be-
low Vidalia. Mr.. Williams, the
correspondent of the Times-Demo-
crat, whose interesting accounts of
the high water in the Fifth Louis
lana Levee District have been very
much appreciated by the people at
large, came down from ST. Joseph,
but at Natchez joined the Str.
Meigs, on "trip up the Black Riv-
er and Lower Tensas on a mission
TO extend relief to the people IN
the overfiowed district of Tensas
and Madison.
On our trip down, the Engi-
neers inspected portion of the
'Cow Pen Point" levee, and ascer-
tanned that the water was four feet
lower on the Southern side of the
levee than on the upper side, which
shows that a calamity would oc-
cur if this levee should break,
which would result in the total de-
struction of the town of Vidalia
and the disarrangement of the
levee system below that town. Mr..
Geddis, the Engineer in charge of
that levee, stated that he did not
propose to let that levee break as
he fully appreciated the disastrous
consequences.
Engineers Hardee and Thomp-
son seemed we'll satisfied with the
condition of things along the Ten
sas front where they inspected,
and said that if we could, hold our
leyees for a while longer the dan
ger would pass away, as they con-
fdently looked for a fall in the
river at Vicksburg within the next
week.

There are to-day thousands Of

There ara to-day thousands and
thousands of farmers pledged to

No pbple on earth stand more

than do the cotton farmers of the
South.
Is it not well-known fact that
seven million bale crop will real
ize fully as much money as nine
million crop? Then why insist on
the surplus?
If you can't be big farmer, be
little one, but under all circum-
stances be a cash, independent

she should still be in the perfect enjoy
ment of vigorous, useful health, is eth

know of the one remedy which will
bring her back to health and strength.
Perhaps her husband cannot persuade

naturally breads the inevitable "exami-

FOR LIGHT.

o God, cannot always see thy way
In the sharp turnings of my earthly
path
At times it shines before me clear as
day,
And then, with eager steps, hasten
on
To find that suddenly the light is
gone,
AndI, in darkness, fearful of thy
wrath,
Stand trembling, waiting, hoping for
sumo sign,
Some light or vision of thy face benign
To warn me, lest my erring feet have
strayed;
To bid me; "Stll press on, be not
afraid
I do not ask that thou shouldst make
for me
The path an easier smoother one to
tread;
Nor that my burden weigh less heavily,
Nor that the biting stones hurt not
my feet
My eXpiation, else, were incomplete
But breathe upon my wearied, grief
bowed head
Some whispered word of guidance,
that thy child,
Made new of heart, may stem the tor
rent wild,
Till once beyond, l lay my burden
down
To find what seemed cross to be a
crown.
John Henry Dick.

MOTHERHOOD.

Goodbye, little boy, goodbye,

That some day I'd vainly sigh
For the baby l used to kiss.
That into his corner man would grow,
And l should not miss him nor see him
Till ali Of sudden the scales would
fall,
And one be revealed to me, straight and
tall,
Then 1 should be startled, and sadly
cry;
Goodbye, little boy, goodbye"
Good bye, little boy, good-bye!
You are going despite my tears,
You cannot, and neither can ],
Successfully cope with the years,
They fit for the burden that AL must
bear,
And then, at their pleasure, they place
it there.
1 love you too, but my heart is sore
For the child who has gone to return
no more,
And deep in nv bosom / sadly cry,
"Good-bye, little boy, good-byew
