A BATTLEFIELD JOKE.

To look at General Jack Hays it
seems almost incredible that he could
have served for forty eight years in
the United States army, because he
doesn't seem hardly older than that,
says the Washington Post. A wonder
full career he has had, and it is better
than reading an historical novel to
hear him tell of the old days when, on
the mosquito covered plains of Texas,
he fought the savage Commanches
under Capt. Earl Van Dorm and
Lieut.. Fitzhugh Lee, though he after
words opposed these same men who
were destined to rise to high rank in
the Confederate army, and for both Of
them he cherished as warm regard
as in that heroic era, when they
fought side by side. In narrating
some of his experiences at the Ebbitt
last evening, General Hays said:
81 was in hot fight with the In
dians out in western Texas, in 1859, in
which Fitzhugh Lee received an arrow
in his side from the bow of a Com
manche chief Not one of his men
who crowded about him expected he
would live. His look was so CHASTITY,
his voice so faint, that we expected
every breath would be his last. My
heart was nearly broken, for 1 had
the same warm liking for him then 1
have every since cherished.
| while we stood in a mournful
group around him one Of the boys re-
marked at the same time exhibiting
his hat with bullet hole through the
top: They've got the lieutenant,
and if the bullet that made this had
gone two inchse lower, I'd have been
a dead man too.
"At this Fitz Lee opened his eyes
/ Just fraction, and as the ghost of q
emile played on his pallid face, OBJ
served: Jim, you needn't try to i'm
pose any such yarn as that ON MS. You
got behind a tree, and shot that hole
in your hat yourself.
"Then and there knew Fitz Lee
wasn't going to die. A man who had
life enough to joke was sure to gel

MAY BE SPARED THE
CALAMITY OF OVERFLOW.

Vicksburg, March 25.--Another
day of fair weather combined with
diminished rate of rise in the river
has raised high hopes in the hearts of
the dwellers behind the levees. While
the danger is not yet passed, it is now
believed that the rich Yazoo delta
will be spared the calamity of an
overflow. The river here came to q
standstill yesterday evening at Ola
and has remained stationary all day.
This is a foot lower than the 1897
record.
The most serious feature just now
is the danger that rail communication
to the north will be entirely severed.
For ten miles north of the Yazoo
bridge the Yazoo and Mississippi VAL
ley tracks are from foot to Is inches
under water with the tide steadily ris-
ing. General Manager Harahan went
to the overdowed territory today, but
could see no way out Of the difficulty.
If train service is suspended it will
mean much distress, as the people ,iv-
ing in that territory will have no
means Of getting supplies.
The city front at present affords a
fine market; fine chickens being offered
for sale at FIVE cents each and cows
can be had for as little as five dollars.
These cheap sales are offered by high
water refugees who need money worse
than anything else just now.
Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1903-03-26

the service Of the prisoners is no
longer needed, and all appearances
indicate that the danger of overflow
at many places has been greatly exag-
serated, the few breaks that have oc-
CURED being luridly pictured in the
press dispatches as having carried
widespread disaster on the crest Of the
rushing waters. The leyees generally
have stood the strain exceptionally
we'll, and it is hoped and believed
that the critical stage has been
passed, so far as the Mississippi
levees are concerned.

Gulf and Ship Island railroad, in
which damages amounting to $4,000
are claimed. The cotton mills ask the
fulfillment of the contract made
several years ago for a rebate rate
ON manufactured goods made prac-
tically on the basis of rebilling rate
on the raw material shipped through
the mill, converted into cotton cloth
and then sent to market. The railroad
company contends that the rate was
cancelled because of the fact that it is
violative of the interstate commerce
laws, and also the state laws relating
to railroad supervision.

Williams news., 1903-01-03

Aaron Burr being among the most thoroughly appreciated.
 The exemplifcation of childish innocence was witnessed in the movements accompanying the song, My Magnolia Maid, by Maud, Dan and Chrysanthus Phelan and Leon Jones.
 "Tell Me Pretty Maiden" from the comic opera, "Florodora," was, without a doubt, the leading num- Der on the program as was shown by the hearty appreciation of the audience. When the double quar- tette composed of Mrs. Wharton, Misses Jennie Bayless, Mabel Adams and E. Jayne Lindsay, and Messrs. Tyrolef, Ward, Preysz and Ferguson, made their appearance upon the stage, rendering the song in thoroughly professional manner, which was made more so by the ap- propriate costumes worn, the house was taken by storm, and they were compelled to return again and again, as the audience were highly appreciative of their efforts.
 A duet by Misses Irene Johnston and Maud Harrell, solos by Mrs. Mcdonald, Wharton and Simms were all appreciated
 The entire performance was a thorough success and too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the director and moving spirit through it all, Mrs. Marie l.. Simms, whose abilities are of the highest. The only thought that any had relative to the evening was that we do not have enough such.
