kirkviIIe.

Kirkyllle, June 30.-It may interest the
friends Of the West View cemetery asso-
citation to hear of one particular part of
the work accomplished since it's organiza-
tIon in September. 1901. After obtaining
the old part of the cemetery and finding
the great need of it's enlargement, three
acres adjoining on the north and west was
purchased, surveyed and laid out into bu-
rial lots. The money for the payment of
this was borrowed and it has been the
earnest effort of the association to pay off
this debt so that greater improvements
might be made After little over year
and a half OF hard work and careful plan-
ming this WAS done June 81, 1903, and
principal and interest was paid in full.
Although the injunction laid upon the old
part has stopped the work there, the new
is being well cared for. and now the wom-
en feel that the work can go forward, max
4 ing the grounds still more beautiful until
every one may feel proud of the place
where loved ones are laid to rest.

CITY ALMOST SUBMERGED.
Backwater from Mississippi River Flood
Has Paralyzed Business at Greenville,
Miss.-Thousands of Acres Covered

Greenville, Miss, March 3o.-The
backwater from the La Grange
crevasse is slowly rising and nearly
all of the city is submerged. Bust
ness is paralyzed and people are NOV
ing about the city in the southern
section in skiffs. The sensational
reports sent out from here that the
city is in danger of destruction are
highly exaggerated, and the facts
do not warrant such statements.
while rumors of great loss of life
are absolutely without foundation.
so far as is known. Relief parties
with boats have been at work rescu-
ing people in the path of the food
and the refugees are brought here.
The flood situation outside of
Greenville remains practically I'M
changed. The waters have covered
thousands of acres of the fine delta
farms and is sweeping south to
Vicksburg. The loss will be heavy,
but it is impossible to give anything
like a correct estimate of the dam
age wrought by the flood.
1t was said by some of the relief
parties yesterday that since Friday
many of the negroes have been on
the top of houses waiting for boats
to get out and during that time they
have had nothing to eat. Arrange
ments have been made to rescue the
cattle in the flooded district, as they
are suffering for want of food.

DEWEY "EXPLAINS.n
che Admiral Puts an Misrepresentation on .
Recent Interview That May Appease
the Wrath OF Germany.


Washington, March 3O.-Admiral
Oewey's comparison of Americas
naval strength with that of Ger
many, while fattering to the Ameri-
can navy, and, coming from such a
source, very gratifying to American
pride, in the Judgment of army and
navy officers, could not have been ut
tered at more inopportune time.
Under the surface here in Washing
ton for several months there has
Deen talk of the possibility of war
with Germany.
At the instance OF the president,
Admiral Dewey called by appoint
ment at the white house and made
full explanation of the recent news
paper interview in which the admiral
was quoted as saying that the Carib-
bean sea maneuvers were an object
lesson to the kaiser more than to
any other person. The admiral as
sured the president that he had no
intention of rejecting in the inter
siew upon Germany, its emperor or
ner navy, and that while the state
nents credited to him were substan-
tally what he said, he neglected to
caution the interviewer against
quoting him. The admiral declined
to make any statement for publica-
ton. At the white house it was stat
ed that the admiral's explanation was
satisfactory to the president. 1t is
not believed that further official no.
tice will be taken of the incident.

WIDE AREA FLOODED.
Ezississippi River Has Broken Through
Another Levee-Oyster Beds win
Ne Dnmaged.

New Orleans, March 2S.-With the
water roaring through the break and
spreading over wide area, the ends
of the crevasse near Lucy are re-
ported to be slowly crumbling. Lum-
Der is scarce at the scene but a
special train got away before day
light with large consignment of
material and planters have hurried
hands from all directions to the
scene. The crevasse occurred in q
bend of the river and that will add to
the difficulties of the repair work.
Several square miles have already
overlooked. Oyster beds are likely
to suffer but there is absolutely no
danger of loss of life.
Levee Near Greenville Breaks.
Greenville. Miss, March 2s.-With
q tremendous crash the levee four

Maj. Sears, in charge of the govern
ment engineers Office here, says it
is the worst break ever experienced
on the Mississippi side and he states
that the whole delta from Greenville
to Vicksburg will be flooded.
