points in this Roca site came from the
above described source.
One specimen is very interesting owing
to it's apparent age. The white or
creamy colored flint of which it is COM
posed is yellow with age and not few
spots have deteriorated until holes are
left in the body of the flint; it looks
very fragile and I handled it with care.
1t is about an inch long and has notches
Clipped in the head. The Kansas speci-
mems have almost invariably straight
head that is there are no notches Clipped
in them but small shank to extend into
the arrow-shaft of wood is Clipped for a
head in some instances this would cause
quite pronounced barb to appear on
the arrow if wound neatly on the shaft.
wish to make mention here of a
very fine specimen of drill found near
Fullerton by Professor Nickerson of that
place and presented to me. 1t is brown
flint and so small that it will rest on the
thumb nail and not cover it. The form
is different from anything I ever saw
illustrated and is very perfect in work
manship. The head has notches by
which to fasten it to shaft. have
this with seven other diminutive speci-
mems which came from the head waters
of the Missouri. They are made of
Obsidian from the extensive beds found
near the National park. These beds are
worthy of an extensive study which we
may give them in the future. The sub
stance is clear like glass, in some cases
smoked and in others of red tinge
making the arrow points made of it very
pretty. I have seen a few specimens
found in this state which came from
these beds, but 1 have no such speci-
mems.

row at the American League Park The
Giants are team OF coiored profession
nj ball tOascrs and have Travelled all over
the United States, defeating some of the
best teams in all parts of the country.
They will stop in this city Tor four days
and endeavor to defeat the two best
teams in the city.
The Census team is the best uine in
the Department League, in which they
won first place with hands down. having
hut three defeats against fifteen games
won Tho nine has been strengthened by
the addition of several new players.
among them being 4. S. Wolfe, OF the
Southern League. and Blewett. of George
town. The latter will probably do the
laborious box work for the statisticans.
The Capital City nine is a contingent OF
colored ball players OF this city, who
have Travelled n great deal and have
many games to their credit.
The Giants have a great record through
out the country and hope to land all of
the games here. but the two local teams
have been prscticing hard for the past
few weeks and are prepared to show the
Giants some new stunts in the line of
playing the national game. The best
game that is looked forward TO by the
local fans is the first game with the Cen
sus Office lads. as the statisticians are
expected to take the Giants down peg
or two and spoil the laIteTs record for
a time at least. The Giants are en-
route to San Francisco. where they will
play throughout the coming winter.

For the first time in the history of
Coushatta she is without q saloon.
There were only two saloons in the
parish last year; one here and one at
East Point, under a $4,000 parish
license. The police jury recently
fixed the license at $4,000 for 1901,
and the result is all saloons are clos
ed, and will so remain, In the parish.
Without comment on the action of
the police jury, it is at least "a very
novel condition and something en-
tirely new for Coushatta to pose as 9
''dry town." The result remains to
be seen. n.-Citizen.

tributing it over the whole territory.
To arrange this the South. has been
divided into four sections, as follows:
1st Section. Virginia, North
Carolina and Florida.
End Section. Tennessee, Alabama
and Mississippi.
3rd Section. Georgia.
4th Section. Louisiana, Ark
ansas, Texas, Indian Territory and
Oklahoma.
This making abb ut an equal number
of subscriptions according to The
Constitutions list as it now stands.
THE CASH PRIZES ARE

Jan. 1st to April /, 1901, from whole
territory, $4oo.
From the biggest list in each of the
above four divisions from Jan. 1st to
April /, 1901. After the above 1st

The subscribers to be renewed for
three months covered by this contest

run the list up appreciably in every
section. Every newspaper reader in
the whole South will be given an OPP
portunity to get on our list.
The Constitution wants good agents
everywhere. Men who will get out
and canvass and hustle for new
business. Many who have to 60

on business can take The Constitu-
ton along as the best side line.
Country doctors, tax collectors, rural
route mail carriers, nursery men,
farmers and good workmen. could all
realize among these prizes and make
their commission besides. A fair
salary proposition for any man.
The Weekly Constitution makes
special feature of its agricultural
page, which is presided over by
Colonel r. j. Redding, director Of
the Georgia experiment farm, and a
man who is recognized as an expert
on all agricultural topics. He gives
a full page every week on agricultu-
raj matters. A page is devoted to
the women and page to children,
these two departments being presided
over by Mrs. William Ling.

The last Legislature Of Louisiana
passed an act prohibiting first cousins
from inter-marrying. The law has
been tested before Judge Paul
Earche, of the 23rd District Court
in st James parish. A young
Acadian wanted to marry his first
cousin and the Clerk of the Court re-
fused to issue the marriage license on
the ground that such marriages were
prohibited by that. law. The ardent
lover employed able counsel and a
mandamus issued to compel the Clerk
to issue the license that would make
the young couple supremely happy.
The Attorneys for the lover took the
ground that the law was never pro-
perly passed and never became law
of the State. The Judge, who no
doubt had been lover himself in the
long ago, decided the case and held
that the law had never properly pass
ed and he ordered the Clerk TO issue
the license. The decision OF the
court was the most highly appreciat-
ed wedding present the couple re-
eived.-Tensas Gazette.
