Our party left Bryan at sunrise yes'er-

toms, and to point about three miles
from Millican. Everything is under wa
ter from 2 to II feet. 1t looked on all
sides like great lake, and the water was
SO high that for vast area it completely
submerged the telegraph and telephone
poles along the line. In truth, portions OF
bottoms are even now perfect sea. ex-
tending four or five miles wide at certain
points.

built boats and sent them through the
flooded districts to render assistance to

breadth of probably SO miles, and in all
this vast space damage incalculable has

Good manners show ones raising, as
bad manners show the neglect Of prop
er training, or elise the failure to prac-
tice what one has been taught. Good
manners give degree Of responsibility
and honor to the one who uses them,
which is lacking to the one who does
not. And 1t is 50 much more cheerful
and pleasant to commune with or come
in contact with the gentleman or lady
that has good breeding and kindness of
heart than with those who are without
either or both Of these.
