completed. The map now issued

pains had entirely vanished and she

Heavy Rains.

~ fhe heavy rains of the past week seem
10 have been general throughout the
Delta. In this immediate vicinity tile
stlownpour was gladly welcomed, tho
Fighter fall would have been preferred by
our farmers. As to the probable effect
of the rains on the crops, we know
little, but the following from the Green
willie Democrat aptly explains existing
&onditions
81 The rain has arrived. Wheuithe shower
Fame it was almost food and the end
sfs not yet. The question now comes to
athe mind Of every planter "Will the
crops be benefited by the rains 70 The
answer has been given by planter in
this way: If the rains stop now the
cotton on the fresh lands will be i'm
proved; while on the oldlands where the
cotton plant had about ceased to grow
the rains will cause second growth
with the loss of the forms and blooms
and small bolls now on the stalks. Will
the forms and blooms to come from the
new growth make cotton ? That is an
Fother question that can only be answer
ed by the date of frost in the fall 1t is
very questionable, therefore, if the rain
will benefit the cotton very much on the
old lands of the Delta, and if the rains
continue many more days more harm
than good will be done to the cotton
crop generally. The rains came too late
to help the corn at all. Late gardens
will be materially benefited, while an
opportunity will be offered for planting
potatoes for fall crop. The rains will
do good in several ways, but we do not
believe that many bales Of cotton will
be added to the crop of Washington
county by the present rains, if these
rains continue long.

QUICK wrrrED YOUNG WOMAN.

Ex-Secretary of the Treasury John
q. Carlisle in speaking of his incum-
bency of the headship of the Treas
ury department told a story of his
late son, Logan, the very popular
chief clerk of the treasury department
during the Secretaryshipo of his father,
1t seems that Logan, who had the
disposal Of a good bit of patronage.
didn't believe that two members of
one family should draw pay from the
Government in that department. Ac-
c%ordingly, when he found two or
more clerks of one family, he would
lop off all but the highest salaried
one. One day a young woman clerk
entered his office. She had been dis
charged.
Il suppose" she said to young
Carlisle, Its because my sister is on
the payroll, too"
That's exactly it," said Logan.
Il don't suppose you would make
any exceptions to the rule, Mr.. Chief
Clerk
Mary an exception" Logan re-
piled.
"If that's So" triumphantiy ex-
claimed the discharged young wo-
man, show about you and your father
being on the PAYROLL"
by Jove,' quoth Logan, Il never
thought of that. Well, reckon the
old man will have to GO" New York

WHERE the aLurgor COMES iN.


There was the usual collection of
commercial travellers in the smoking
room Of the hotel, and the inevitable
quiet man was n Of them. They
had been asking conundrums, many
OF which had been received with roars
of laughter, as being particularly clev-
er. Then the quiet man lit a fresh
cigar, and spoke:
1T is easy" he said. "to think OF
such riddles as why is your hat like
a baby?' which contain one simila,
but those with two are far more diff
cult. For instance:
"What are the differences between
the son of a millionaire, an organ and
a glue pot?'
II give it up said the mustard
traveller presently.
THE son of a millionaire is an heir
to millions, while an organ has II mil
lion airs! Dye see?'
''But what about the gluepot?" in
CURED the hosiery representative.
ooh, that's where you stick" re-
turned the quiet man. And the waiter
smothered a gufTaw behind a tray he
was busting, while the hosiery repre-.
sentative howled for soda water.

KNEW WHAT THEY LIKED to EAT.

The time having come when wo.
men were selected for jury service, it
so happened that twelve of them were
locked up for many hours in the jury
room, and finally they sent out word
that they would have to be provided
with Il substantial luncheon before
they could continue their delihera-
tons.
Unfortunately said the Judge,
there is no fund on which we can
draw to furnish this under the pres
ent circumstances
IF your honor will permit sug-
gested the attorney for the prosecu-
ton, 1--WE will be pleased to provide
the %luncneon at our expense in order
to expediate matters somewhat
The Judge looked doubtful.
"If your honor will give the same
privilege to us" announced the attor-
ney for the defence. 1--WE will inter
pose no Objection
That seems to be fair said the
judge, after thoughtful pause. Gen
tlemen, in order hat the women may
not suffer and that the ends Of Justice
shall not be subverted, you may each
send in n luncheon"
Immediately two councils of war
were held.
"Ravenously hungry" said the at
torney for the prosecution repeating
the words of the message hal had
come from the jury room, well, we
must not stint them, we must see that
they have a good hearty luncheon
something that will satisfy them.
"A substantial luncheon said the
attorney for the defence, also quot
ing from the message. Surely some
among us have had enough expert
ence with women to know what that
means
Thus it happened that shortly
thereafter various large trays were
carried into the jury room and the
contents exposed to view. With the
compliments of the prosecution came
a hearty meal, excellently cooked.
There were meat and vegetables and
entrees, a pudding and coffee and
plenty of everything. 1t IA a re-
past that would have gladdened the
heart of a furnishing man. On the
other hand, there came with the com
pliments of the defence, only IA bit of
salad, some fruit, bonbons. ices and
chocolate.
For Il moment there was silence.
"Prehaps,' said the forewoman at
last, wed better take one more bal
lott before luncheon"
"Oh, yes, indeed" chimed in the
others; "such deficiency and thought
f%ullness and wisdom oh, we must
vote right away"
And the verdict wa for the de
fence Eagle.
