Underground Water Resources of
Mississippi.

A paper describing the underground
water resources of Mississippi, by
State GeOlogist A. f. Crider and l.
Z. johnson, has just been issued by
the United States Geological Survey
as Water supply Paper No. 159. The
underground waters OF Mississippi are
derived from two diverse sources.
The salt Water encountered in some
OF the deeper wells represents in all
probability ocean waters that have
been returned since the accumulation
OF the Sedmentary rocks beneath the
sea, while the fresh waters in all OF
the shallow wells and in large proper
tion of the deep wells are derived from
the rainfall. In this paper, which
may be obtained on application to
the Director Of the United States
Geological Survey, Washington, d., c..
are discussed the geologic and other
conditions that affect the occurrence
of underground water Each county
is taken up separately and there is
given a short account of the wells
that have been sunk and Of the under
ground water conditions The paper
includes also the principal items of
information regarding most of the
deep wells in the state, a discussion
OF the sanitary aspects Of wells, and
analyses of many of the well and
SDring waters.

States.
CONVOCAT|ON OF SHRINERS IN GRENADA
One Hundred and Fifty Strong-rIany
. Towns Representative Street
Parade-Their Work Done
In the Court House.

The rain and winds of the past few
days have not been confined to this inn
meiate section but have been general
throughout the gulf states. The wind
has been blowing at the rate of about
forty miles per hour sweeping over
the gulf coast from the West Indies.
The rainfall has been unprecedented
for this season of the year and has
unquestiOnably damaged the cotton
crop several million dollars, as it has
been general throughout the cotton
belt. The winds have wrought much
obstruction along the gulf coast and
at many interior points the telephone
and telegraph wires are blown down
and communication much interrupted.
At this hour, Friday morning, the
rain continues with no immediate
prospect of abatement. On the coast
the tide has been driven to an unusual
heighth by the winds and in number
of towns the water has risen to a
point which has forced many families
to move.

In Memoriam

On Last Friday evening at o'clock
Aug. 3lst., 1906, the flower of the
Ursy family was plucked by the ruth
less hand of death, after an illness of
about a week, and friends and loved
ones were left with broken hearts.
Yes: death lies on her like an un-
timely frost upon the sweetest flowers
of all the fields. Nellie was kind,
loving and gentle in her disposition, of
a sweet soft voice and of modest, lady
like manners.
The world has been made darker bv
her going away, but heaven has been
made brighter.
She was so young, only nineteen
years old, life was all before her.
