Indiana Farmers suffer from Flood.

Evansville, Ind, Feb. 23.--The Ohio
river here has reached the 4c-foot
mark and river men expect 1t to &C
three feet higher. The low land is
under water and the waterworks are
surrounded. The loss to farmers is
already heavy, much stock having
persisted. One hundred thousand
dollars worth of corn has been
swept away. Many people have beer
driven from their homes. Below
here and in the neighborhood Of
Mount Vernon the river is ten miles
wide and families have been forced
to take refuge on higher ground
Steamers are running, but are having
difficulty in stemming the current.

another white and black. with tur

Chickssba, l. T., Sept. "a, 1908
Mr.. Editor:
In continuation of fair eulogy to
the women of Dixie, l shall cndcavor
to make my remarks as briefly as
th> occasion will admit. While it is
true great deal has been said al
reidy, yet the press of the country
has made failure. The plain Cos
sip of the country has been more
than failure. The historian down
the ages will be failure. There
fore it is truly befitting that all honor
and praise-worthy accounts should
be accredited them; and who can saw
that her energies ever grew less?
Her endeavors never lost its holding
and her courage never gave place to
the bitter disappointment of the hour.
They were ever up and ready to
meet the one and ten thousand diff
culties of the day, and in due season
she met all of the sore trials that
were apportioned her common lot.
But these did not retard the prog
ress of her natural faculties. In all
of her every day walk, in all of her
business pursuits, which were then
marking out her future destiny, she
never gave vent, she never murmur.
ed, all of her few fleeting hours told
lasting story. There was no sound.
ing brass or tinkling symbal kind of
business in the matter, all meant
something in the upbuilding of the
new born nation. But with that
fixed and steady purpose of mind
she stood out in bold relief. Though
Ill her humble cottage she was not
only the idol of the boys who wore
the gray, tut she was the minister
ing angel. She was first to soothc
the bleeding wounds, she was first to
dry the fallen tear, she was first to
bathe the cheek of the dying boy,
she was the first to cheer the aching
heart, she was first to shed that com.
forting influence that embraced the
dying soldiers; and with those hal
owed attributes she never lost sight
OF that valorous and patriotic senti.
ment which she admired 80 much in
the boys in ranks. What an ex-l
preston by the boys:
When l close mine aching eyes,
Sweet dreams my senses fill,
And when from sleep / rise
Her bright smiles haunt me still. |

the world no lack of bravery. The
word coward is not in her vocabulary:
and never in single day from 81
to '65 was she known to shirk duty.
How we'll do we remember her in
that all to be dreaded hospital, when
L lay there, my life's blood ebbing
away. Oh, cnchantment. thou art a a
Jewel. When that good Samaritan
came with a low, sweet, trembling
voice asked my name and what |
would like to have. / informed her
OF my condition, and with the tender
est care and patience of a mother
she dressed my bleeding wound.
She gave me all the attention that
was in her power. And kind reader,
ten thousand times were those good
women there to supply the needs of
the suffering soldiers. They de.
prived themselves of the comforts in
order that that they could do some
thing for the brave boys at the front.
They took their table linen, tore it
into shreds and carded it into lint to
make bandages for the wounded.
They utilized everything that gave
comfort to the men who faced the
bullets. And while the saddened
events of the day crowded her men,
tai powers, and seemingly her future
stamina would dwindle into insig-
nificance. nay verify, the greater the
depression the stronger the courage.

i..!.r,' "a Girl Promises.


Whole Il, Il. ed affection is, in the ma
jority Of r.9rs. absolutely essential to
married happiness, but it must be con
binrd beforehand with practical COM
mon sense. which will enable a girl to
cain Il clear insight into the character
Of the ma She proposes to marry.
Girls nowadays are apt to think that
a handsome. attractive and fascinating
lover must necessarily make q goo3
husband, whereas it frequently hap
pens that he is totally unfit for the re
SponsibiIitiCS Of married life. Before a
woman promises to be the wife of a
man it is Il duty which she owes to
herself TO learn everything about him.
1t is not in4uisitive or mean, as many
girls seem to imagine, to inquire into
his private life and affairs. The time
to find out if your fancy for a mans
looks is indorSed by his life's history
and whether his habits are good and
his tastes %congenial is during courtship
days. Each girl should scrutinize her
prospective husbands character as
carefully as she would a new hat OF
gown, and then she should be able tc
decide fairly easily as to whether he
! is the right man for her to marry.
