That the floods alongthe lower
Mississippi have not been sc
destructive as was feared a few
weeks ago, is shown by the fol-
lowing paragraph from a recent
issue of the New Orleans Picay-
une:
Cali the crop indications are IA
vorable. Even in the portions of
the Mississippi Valley which
have been under water there is
now a prospect that the water will
recede rapidly enough to permit
a crop being planted. Elsewhere
in the valley cotton, though
slightly late, is doing we'll, with
every indication of an increased
acreage. In the territory imme-
diately tributary to New Orleans
the crops all promise very well.
The sugar cane prospect was new
er better, as there is not on
ly a larger acreage under cultiva-
ton than last year, but the cane
IS making excellent progress
Rice is doing well, with a larger
acreage planted in the river sec
ton, which always furnishes the
most reliable CROP"

JUDGE ROBINSON AT HENDERSON.

Judge VS.. OBJ. Robinson
held superior court at Henderson
last week, aud the Gold Leaf, of
that place, has the following to
say of him, which is high praise,
indeed;
Court is in session this week,
Hon. W. S. OBJ Robinson,
Judge presiding. Solicitor Ber-
nard is representing the State.
His Ronor's charge to the
grand jury was one of the best
that has been delivered in this
court house. In calling attention
to the various crimes and miss
demeanors of which that body
was to take cognizance, and ex-
planning the laws governing the
same, Judge Robinson laid
especial stress upon offences
against society-acts in them
selves not a crime against any
particular individual, but which
affected the entire citizenship of
a community-a blot and blight
upon the body polite as deadly
as the upas tree. The law against
cruelty to animals received pro-
per attention also, aid while
there are open violations of this
statute it is seldom that even the
most shameful abuses of it are
punished. Where the laws are
certainly, swiftly and humanely
executed, society is always bet-
ter, said Judge Robinson, and he
could not understand how honest
men and good citizens could close
their eyes and stop their ears to
such things.
Business has been disposed
of rapidly but without undue
haste. Judge Robinson does not
believe in wasting time and
thereby running the tax payers
of the county to unnecessary ex-
pense.
This is Judge Robinson's
first court in Vance. He has
made a fine impression upon the
members of the bar, court Of
fcers and spectators, and shows
himself to be a just, humane
judge in every respect"
