The Water Spout.

T. A. Cherry, of District Numbet
Twelve, was business visitor in the
city Wednesday Mr.. Cherry informed
Us that that the the Sunday morning rain was
yeritable water spout; that it began
about two O'Clock and by daylight the
entire country, embracing the lowlands,
was flooded. Innumerable washes in
the roads and the destruction of many
small bridges, including a heavy dam
age to corn and hay, we're the conse-
quences. Mr.. Cherry states that many
of the farmers were heavy losers from
the destruction of growing corn. His
loss he estimated about four hundred
dollars. The Cunningham neighbor-
hood, farther down, is supposed to have
suffered most. The level of the lands
there is lower. The South Reelfoot
iron bridge was somewhat unsettled by
the washing of its foundation, and the
expense of repairs and building bridges
and restoring the roads will necessitate
some outlay by the county.

summing up the teams it is proper to
say that the fielding was somewhat
evenly balanced, but if any advantage,
Jackson had it in Wednesdays pitch

such is the two-fold character that
has given name to the chameleon
rose. At night or when it is carried
into dark room it assumes a wax
like wilderness. This does not occur
abruptly, but the petals first pass
through blush tint, which rapidly
changes into a very pale rose and fin
ally ends by becoming the purest
white. Then. if it is taken into
bright sunlight. with the greatest ra-
pidity it resumes the scarlet tint Of

When a man driving a horse or mo-

likely TO slow up or go more careful

a region where he knows he may en-
counter a floating obstruction. you
may be certain he will send a man
aloft to scan the tumbling sea.
OF course. It is more difficult to To-
cate the dangerous things afoat: at
the same time. Uncle Sam, through
his photographic Office, manages to
keep a record Of nearly every serious
obstacle in the ocean. Not many Of
the land-lubbers who go to Europe
know that their vessels skipper has
