Afraid OF no man, but at wrong agast!
Eloquent prophet to a fervid age

PICTURESQUE MILLDALE.
Visit to a Historic Spot on the
Yazoo---The Home of Ambrose
Douglas Downs.


of a hill overlooking picturesque
Milldale is the grave of one Of the
most historic persorages who fig
ured in the earliest settlement of
this Spanish territory now known
as Mississippi. The "dale' is
perhaps the prettiest spot tn this
weird, heavily wooded region Of
gnarled oaks and sylvan dells.
It is about two miles from the
river Yazoo, which takes its name
from the Yazous Indians who dis
puted the possession of this pretty
country with the adventurous
Spaniards. This beautiful and
historic spot of rolling hills and
picturesque dale, was settled a
few years after the close of the
Revolution by Ambrose Douglas
Downs, of Aberdeen, Scotland,
a descendant of the historic chief
tain, "Black' Douglas, whose
"clan'' was so powerful as to
cause the king to tremble for his
throne. Ambrose Douglas Downs
was a son Of Lady Jane,' Doug
las, the "heiress of Douglass
celebrated in Scottish song and
story. The family estate was
known as 1.-THE Downs" The
father of Ambrose Douglas was a
Baron, and upon his death the
title descended to his eldest son.
Three other sons, Ambrose Doug
las, William and Henry Douglas,
came to America. Ambrose D.
was Lieutenant in the British
Navy and participated in the
capture of Quebec. He resigned
after the war and settled in
Charleston, South Carolina. He
saw service during the Revolution,
being an officer in Gen. Morgan's
brigade. After the Revolution he
visited Scotland and, receiving
his portion of the estate, returned
to America. He located on bayou
DeSiard, near the present Mon
roe, La, and moved to the Yazoo
country, about 1890. He located
in a picturesque dale, in this
magnificent forest and named his
home "Milldale." Here he built
a commodious mansion, and
mill upon the pretty stream which
runs through the dale. Upon
hill just beyond was the little
Church building. The fine man
sion, the little Church and the
mill, were destroyed by the in
cendiary Federal invaders during
the war between the States. Only
the foundations of the old mill are
to be seen, now, and the little
stream rushes over the moss-gray
stones as Of old on its impetuou:
way to the river Yazoo.

uresque dale, in a canebrake, liz

scendants of the historic family

NUMBER "a.
History and Civil Government O..
Louisiana.

This volume is number eight ir,
a series on State Governments
under the general editorship OF
DR.. B. A. Hinsdale, author of
1.-The American Government"
who has contributed to each vol-
ume general introduction and a
concluding Chapter on the Ma
tional Government.
The "History and Government
Of louisiana" of this series, is by
John r. Ficklen, Professor of
History and Political Science,
Tulane University, Louisiana. It
has a map showing the old French
settlements on the Mississippi and
the Gufl Coast. In part 1 an out
line is given of the history of
Louisiana "from the earliest his
toric times to the present day."
Part II, the more important divis-
ion, is an exposition and discus
sion of the main features of the
Government of Louisiana. The
chief provisions of the Constitu-
ton of 1898 are explained, and
the most important of the laws
enacted by the Legislature, to-
gether with the principle and
methods of taxation, are set forth
in separate sections. The local
government of towns, villages
and New Orleans, is fully ex-
planned. The whole division on
the civil government of the State
is very full.
The Government of the United
States makes up the third part Of
the book. Its preparation by DR..
B. A. Hinsdale, is a guarantee of
it's value, correctness and utility
as a school xt-book.
This book, like the others in the
series, is intended primarily for
the use and study of pupils, but
the natives of Louisiana will find
it convenient summary of infor-
nation about their State and city
government, which has not been
before so readily accessible. 1t
is a book for the people as we'll as
Co. the schools. Published by the
Werner School Book Company,
378-388 Wabash ave., Chicago,

Meridian, Miss, Star: elm a
few years every logging road in
Mississippi will be a road for
commerce between various towns
in the State. These settlements
are building up as fast as the rail-
roads for logs are laid, and for
every 20 miles of such road-bed
will be benefited indirectly and
the farmers directly many thous-
ands of dollars. That the mill
men appreciate coming events,
and feel confident thai when they
have used up the timber their road
will be converted into a public
carrier, is shown by the care they
give to each mile of construction.
