In Gods Land.

There's healing virtue in the sweep
OF fields and woods to meet the sky;
Soul's-ease in valleys green and deep
That in the mountain shadows lie;
The little cares that vex our day,
And with mean touch its beauty mar,
Abashed and awed, they shrink away
From where these things majestic are.
And the poor dreams for which we sell
Lies gladness and its healthful zest,
How paltry they to joys that dwell
Deep. in sweet natures loving breast.
o shaken people of the town,
Worn-faced with httleness and guile,
Turn from the city and Gods frown,
And in the country know his smile.

BOARD OF STATE ENGINEERS,

Hon. J. w. Jeter, President,
and Members of the Board of
Bossier Levee District, Benton,
La: Gentlemen-In accordance
with your resolution of January
8, 1901, I have to report that not
being able personally to visit the
points named in the communica-
ton of your Secretary to me, dat
ed January 9Th, inst, requested
Mr.. F. Nj. Kerr to make an exam
ination of the points mentioned
and have to report that theressha:
been no changes in any of the
points mentioned therein since my
last inspection.
Twill report,,that / staked and tn
State let, in October last, a new
levee in front of Gordy Ogden
plantation, one mile in length AM
containing about 1881 cubi
yards. The lower end of thi
levee throws out about half of tn
Gold Point levee and protects tn
threatened point in front of Cord
Ogden's place. This work will b
completed in very few days
and finally received.
I have the following to repol
as to the upper end of your dis
trict, viz:
BossIER CITY.-Still obstructe
by tramway, saw-mill and lum
Der, etc.
BILLIARDS TO BossIER CITY,

places as compared with origin;
sections. Now thoroughly soddet

Still weedy in places and entirel

crossing. This part of the lir
has never been improved by Dis
trict but has been maintained b
Mr.. Cash. But the maintenant
of the said portion has been rattle
in negative than in positiN
way, as he has permitted it
grow up in a net work of vine
trees, etc., and shows no dispos
ton to keep his levee up as
should be. l would suggest tn
this point needs attention, al
that whenever conditions will jul
tify it, that a new levee be place

The Peanut Crop in Halifax
(Roanoke News.)

In talking with farmers in various
parts of Halifax county we find that
while the cotton crop is short that the
peanut crop is still shorter. Mr.. Paul
Garrett, who makes the best of wines
and who is also one of the largest grow
ers of peanuts in the county, says that
he planted twice as many acres this
year as he did last year and that he
did not make as many peanuts on the
double acreage as he gathered last year
Mr.. H. l.. Tillery, of Tillery, who lives
III tie section where the large State
farms are located says that the crop is
about so per cent of what it was last
year. He said the State made 80. 900
bushels last year and that this year the
State crop will not exceed 5000 bushels
Mr.. w. A. Pierce, buyer for the Caro-
lima Peanut Company, and member OF
the firm, says the acreage was about
ten per cent greater than last year, but
that this was reduced by freshets in the
river, and he thinks the crop is about
90 Ter cent of what it was last year.
Mr.. A. S. Allen, merchant and farmer
says he planted twelve acres and made
one hundred bushels, he would have made
four hundred bushels fair crop year.

In the death of the above named gen.
tlemen, which took place last week at
the home of his son-in- law, Mr.. Rich
ardson, in Wake county, the State has
lost one of its best and truest citizens.
Captain Harris had a large number of
connections in this county, where he re-
sided all of his life until few years
ago, when he removed to Wake county
He was always prominent in every
movement for the betterment of his
peoples condition and until age and bad
health prevented was very active in po-
litical affairs. He was staunch and
answering Democrat, and for four
years ably and faithfully represented
this 9th Senatorial district in the Leg
islature-the sessions of which he was
member being those of 1879 and 1881.
Captain Harris was - years of age at
the time of his DEATH He was a true
and brave Confederate soldier, as a
number of his comrades who servive
him can testify
He leaves two brothers, Messrs. A. j.
P. Harris and w. j. Harris, both of this
county, and a large number of other
relatives to whom we extend our sym
patty.
