thoroughly convinced that we will
meet with no difficulty in getting a
bountifui supply of pure artesian well
water.
| The little town of Itta Bena, Miss,
not near so large as Providence, has
an artesian well $50 feet deep with a
flow of 250 gallons per minute of per.
fectly clear soft water. The water
rises from this well forty feet above
the surface. Water pipes are connect
ed at the mouth of the well and this
pure healthful water is carried by its
own force. without the use of pumps,
over the entire town.
Greeayile. Miss. has two artesian
wells 400 feet deep, the water rising in
the wells to within sixteen feet of the
surface, and is then pumped into
tank on a 75-foot tower. The Green.
vile wells furnish also clear soft water
suited TO all uses and the supply is in
exhaustible.
An analyses made of the water in
the two towns mentioned, shows that
it is very healthy, and the people of
those towns say the medicinal proper
ties alone-to say nothing of convent
ence in bathing. sprinkling, etc., and
the protection against fre--as evi.
denced by the lessened sickness and
death rate, are well worth the cost.
Now in view of the fact that those
nearby towns have been successful in
getting artesian water, and at such
moderate cost (the cost OF the Itta
Bena well was six hundred dollars),
! further failure on our part to make
'ome effort at utilizing what nature
las provided for our good, will be lit

A most absurd mistake was
made last week in regard to
two bales OF cotton wrapped
in new bagging, which was ship
ped by Mr.. George Kennedy,
of this parish, by the Natchez to S.
Gumble & Co., New Orleans. MIR.
Morris, the landing keeper at Hard
Times, told the Natchez he had two
bales of cotton wrapped in new
bagging for Geo. Kennedy and the
officers of the boat decorated the
bales with blue ribbons and swung
them up on exhibition, thinking it
was new cotton of the crop of 1898.
The cotton was taken to the Cotton
Exchange and sold at auction as
new cotton and brought eight cents
a pound. The mistake was only
discovered after the sale. This was
rather rough on the sampeler who
could not tell old from new cotton.

between Cavite and Manila. The
Spaniards chose dark night for the
attack, hoping to turn the Americans
