We noticed in the Vicksburg Dis
patch Of few days ago that Mrs.
Phil Mcclure Of Lake Providence bad
arrived in that city. So far she has
failed to get to Providence.
The Police Jury at its meeting on
Tuesday placed Hon. Robt. Nicholson
in charge of the levees in the parish of
East Carroll, aud to do any work that
he deems necessary and urgent.
There were several red hot war
takers who didn't turn up on Sunday.
1t is all right with this kind of
humanity if some other fellow will do
the fighting, II any is to be done.
One of the pet deer in the court

The levee crossing Old river slough
above town, is fully two feet below
the height of the other levees in the
parish. It has sunk this much since
the last high water. Nothing is being
done that we know Of.
There is less attention being paid Il
the rising river and the levees at tht
present time than we ever saw before
II looks like that the people do not rea
Ilize that we have as large . river ~
we had last year. There is danger.
The Banner-Democrat., 1898-04-16

There is very little attention being
paid to the rising river by our citizens
or levee board, aud no doubt 1t will
be a repitition of last year if it be-
comes necessary to make fight l,
is true there is yet four or five feet oi
levee in sight, aud the news from the
upper rivers are favorable, but if a
rainy spell should come we can look
for more water than ever before
The river is now falling at Memphis
and it should only be few days when
we ought to feel the effect of the fall
but as we said before, heavy raiDi
would change everything. and IL would
only take few days for it to make
the change.
Under the circumstances we think i
is better and much safer to now have
everything necessary on hand rather
than wait until the last moment to gel
the necessary material.

The owners Of all stock running at
large on the levees have been notified
to keep them off. Now that the river
is rising it is very important that
stock should not be allowed to use the
levee as range, and it is TO be hoped
that the levee Inspector will see that
the law is enforced.

The ponds near the banquette going

Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1898-05-18

The country will sincerely regret
the loss of Ensign Bagley and four OF
his comrades on the torpedo boat
Winslow. Itlooks like a piece of reck-
less daring for such light craft to
steam under the guns of h enemy.
The Windsor is a small, unprotected
torpedo boat of 142 tons burden and
is only credited with three torpedo
tubes and six small guns. Even the
Wilmington is a lightweight COM
pared to our best fighting ships, be-
ing an unprotected gunboat of 1882
tons, with light. small guns. 1t is
not necessary to take the risks these
boats did, and it is more than likely
orders will be issued for the exercise
of greater caution. The blockade
can be maintained without it, and at
the proper time the larger ships will
attend to the leveling of the enemy's
works. The Spaniards are poor
gunners, but they can make an acct
dental hit occasionally. The Wins
low will probably be disabled for
some time. but will not be any ma
terial loss.
