IN MEMORY OF DECORATION DAY
 BACK HOME.

Many years ago Talmage drew for the men and women of the North, a picture of their return ing armies. He told how in the pomp and circumstance of war they came back home, marching with proud and victorious tread, reading their glory in a nations eyes.
 Further on this day we honor them who came, a saddened rem nant of a mighty army, home, it's banner furled in defeat and not in victory flung to the air, in pathos, not in pomp and circum- stance; from general to drummer boy, each knowing that he would find his house in ruins, his farm devastated, his slaves free. his stock killed, his barns empty, his trade destroyed, his money worthless, his social system swept away, his people without law or legal status, his comrades slain, his very traditions gone, without money, credit, employ ment, or training. Right well did Henry Grady honor them in the tongue, not of men, but of angels, when he told their tre- mondous story to listening peo- pie years ago, and right well have his prophecies of them been made realities.

Surveyors Are Now at Work Locating on the Above
 Mentioned Road.
From Saturdays
Special to the Picayune. )


 Fordyce, Ark, May 23. Judge J. B. Jones of Little Rock spent the latter part of last week in Fordyce looking into the railroad proposition.
 Judge Jones says that this rail road will certainly be built and that now there is no doubt about it, and since Judge Jones gave this statement out last Saturday your correspondent has been re- liably informed that surveyors have been put in the field, and three routes will be run from Fordyce to DeQueen. One of the routes will be through Pres colt, and one through Hope.
 The building of this road will add new impetus to all towns along the line, and will tend to open up thousands of acres of good farming land, as we'll as make possible the marketing of one of the finest belts of timber in the state.

according to the New York Press,

on:
1.-THE red-haired have an excess of
iron in their blood. This causes

She smiled, and smoothing her
rudy locks with slim white hand
she added;
cat any rate, it is palpable fact
that the red-haired girl never gets
left. AS a rule she is married at
twenty. A red-haired old maid is
a greater rarity than millionaire
anarchist. Leap year began Jan /,
but we red-haired girls have no need

WARNS AGAINST WESTERN SEED
On Account of Boil Weevil Georgia
Farmers Are Urged to Be Careful.

On Account of Boil Weevil Georgia
Farmers Are Urged to Be Careful.
Warnings are being sent out by
State Entomologist e. L. Worsham
to planters in Georgia in regard to
the shipments to be received this
spring of cotton seed for planting
from the western states. The first
of these was sent to o. p. Meares
of Baconton, Ca, Tuesday.
Mr.. Meares wrote inquiring If it
would be dangerous to purchase cot
ton seed from Yazoo county, Missis-
sippi. Entomologist Worsham wrote
him that the Delta of Mississippi had
many fields infested with the boil
weevil, and for that reason he
thought that it would be, and warned
him against any such Importation.
Professor Worsham states that on
account of the prevalence of this in
sect in the west, especially in Texas,
there is a lower price placed upon
cotton seed and cotton seed hulls
than in this state that tempts many
to buy. He warns them against this.
