MARKING THE KINGS SWANS.
Flow the Cygncts of the Thames Are
Identified.
From the Londnn News

FROM the London News.
Last year the custom Of marking the
Thames swans was initiated, and yes
terday men under 7. r. Abnett, the
kings swanherd, were again engaged
on this years brood of the cygnets in
the upper portion of the river. Six
pair of cared skiffs were engaged in
the operation, the fulfllment of which
VIII occupy about a week. 1t is said
that the year has been a good one, and
that the cygnets are rather more nu-
merous than was the case last year.
Mi. Abnett explained the meaning
and method Of "upping," as the mark
ing is termed.
We go out in six boats, myself, two
other sWanmasters and thirteen others,
sixteen altogether, and we get around
the young birds by forming a semi
circle, h we gradually drive up,

Sometimes. The young beggars arc
very lively. But we go quietly at it,
and the old birds are very tame, and
quite used to boats and people. Still,
in catching your bird you have to be
careful you don't tumble yourself out
on top of it and into the stream. We
catch hold of them by the leg generally.
That does not hurt them. Then you
turn their legs up on top Of their wings
and they become helpless"
Then what do you nick them with
some special kind of m%achine?'
ooh, no, just an ordinary pocket
knife. We only make scratches on the

they never grow out or wear OFF"

As source of information to our
readers and citizens and to give them
some idea as to the capacity of our
city's ice plant, We will state that tie
Greenville Ice & Coal Co. has been
supplying the city of New Orleans
with from fifty to sixty tons of
ice per day for the last week. and will
continue to do so for some weeks to
come
This is quite an honor to not only
our large and enterprising plant,
when one stops to consider the ice
plants of large cities nearer New Or
leans than Greenville, but it is a cred
it to Greenvilie itself in possessing
such enterprising citizenship who are
willing to put ther money into an en-
terprise that will help to support the
other enterprises of the city by the
wages it pays out and draws money
here from other places.

manager of the plant, has lust Cause

THE SITUATION
ELSEWHERE

There are several surprises in the
fever situation this week and shows
that no city knows when they can ex-
pect to hear of the fever being de-
clared as being in their midst. The
announcement made Sunday that
three cases of fever were il Natcnez
and Wednesday thar three cases exist
ed in Vicksbnrg came to these cities
as th.ndz rholt from a clear sky.
Both cities were clcsaIv guarded trt
the fever was in their midst and they
did not know it until it was found
that several people were sick with the
fever.
At Natchez the fever was discover
ed among negroes living in the north
ern portion of the city, while at
Vicksburg an engineer of the ice plant
and mechanic on the r.iroad were
the first to break out with the fever.
The suspected case at Indianola
which was examined by DR.. Dunn. OF
this city last Wednesday, was pro
| nounced by him to be only nlaiarial
fever. This suspected case gave tue
people of that little city a very bad
/ scare, however, and many of them
left on special train Monday morn
ing, which train was provided by the
! Southern Railway.
1t has been proven that neither
men had been out of the city in 20
days and that the mosquito that bit
them was imported on railroad
train.
At New Orleans the situation CON
: tinues to improve. The death rate
ran up some the first of the week, but
to only four or FIVE deaths a day.
| At Mississippi City there has not as
yet been death and the situation
there is very bright, as all the old
cases have been discharged and no
new cases have been announced.
Gu1fport has only few cases but
these were added to the first of the
week by two new ones, making clever
in all with no deaths.
! Lake Providence, La, has in all Fl
! cases with only one death. The infec
ton is confined to the negroes ,anc
there are no new cases among tht
whites.
At Pensacola, Fla, the fever had ex
isted a week before it was announced
but nearly all are now well. Still
there is much alarm felt by the .peopl
over the announcement aud every
train that leaves is crowded by peo
pie leaving that city.

The order was received from Gov.
Vardaman by Capt. Whitney last Mon
day to take his company and guard
the levee from Greenville on south. A
similar orer was sent to the officer of
the companies at Clarksdale and In

Lieutenant W. c. Landers and squad
of IS men arrived from Clarksdale
and reported to Col Sam Montgom-
cry, who was placed full charge of

with Lieutenant John Finlay acting as
his adjutant.
Wednesday afternoon a detatch-
ment Of the Vardaman Rifles of In

This gives Col. MontgomIry about
90 men on duty on the levee front.
From the end OF his line the compan-
es OF Vicksburg, Port Gibson and

AM A VOLUNTEER
Dedicated to Camp No. Q,
By Faceta Donagetta

A banner with this true refrain,
I am a Volunteer.

sweet,
And as he passed with rapid feet.
Like silver clarion, clear and strong,
The accents of a we'll known song,
am a Volunteer.
In happy homes he saw the light,
And helped to make these homes more
bright,
By telling them where ere he went,
The adage that would bring content,
l am Volunteer.
Come back, come back, the maiden
said,
Onward fast the young man sped
Tell us the fever dope as you go by,
This was the youths sole reply,
| am a Volunteer.
Beware the chills of moonlit withc-ed
lake,
Beware the awful malarial shake
The maiden then cried as onw a !
sped,
To tell the world what has been SAID

heights,
Asked tamely if they heard Alright
A voice crying through the air,
The oft repeated potent prayer,

There in the twilight. cold and gray
Beardless, but youth he lay.
Still bearing in his hand of steel,
The banner he would never yield.
