The initial number Of the
Natchez News, the new
evening paper just launched
in Natchez, came to us yes
terday and we must express
our pleasant surprise at find

the telegraph service is full

of going to press.
The editorial columns are
pregnant with clear, ringing

Sheriff and Mrs. f. P. Camp
bell of Vidalia have gone TO Hot
Springs for a few weeks. Sheriff
Campbell is suffering from rheu-
matism and goes to Hot Springs
in hopes that the baths will re-
lieve him.
The intense heat Of last week
seemed the last heavy volley from
Old Sol, and the backbone of the
summer appears to he broken.
The temperature Monday strong
ly resembled fall and the nights
are pleasant.
The river is falling rapidly and
is'now getting SO low as to serious
ly interfere with rice culture in
some sections of Concorda par
ish, where water for irrigation is
drawn from the river, the pumps
being unable to pull the water
so far up the banks, about 100
feet.
n BY resolution Of the Police jury
bf Tensas parish the Sheriff is
required to enforce the collection
of the road tax from non-proper-
ty holders by October 1st, and
which is much earlier than has
heretofore been the rule. The OBJ
ject Of this resolution is to en-
force the collection before the
migratory population to whom
this clause specially applies can
leave the parish, after which it
is practically impossible to locate
them. Some 2600 notices have
been matted and delinquents must
pay up or suffer consequences.
A change of route it is under
stood will soon he made in the
New Light mail, Newellton instead
of St. Joseph being the objective
point henceforth. The change of
route will take place soon and
the arrival and departure fixed
for different days than now OBJ
served. While regretting exceed
ingly to loose this star route from
st. Joseph it will doubtless prove
more convenient to the New Light |
people, as Newellton is consider
ably closer, though the roads in
winter are not so good, and rider
can then await the evening train
mail, thus giving our friends Oh
the Tensas one mail later than
they now get.
Hon. J. II. Mcclellan returned
Monday to Tallulah from an ex-
tensive overland trip from the
Arkansas line down to the mouth
of Red River on an inspection
tour of the levee system of the
Fifth I.evee District. Maj. Nc
Clellan was accompanied on his
trip of inspection by L, S. Engi-
neer Hoffman. These officials state
that in all probability it will
be necessary to construct several
"run-arounds" in places where
the rapidly falling riverhas caused
caving banks, and where portions
of the levee are seriously threat
ened. Taken as a whole, how
ever, the levees are in splendid
shape, as evidenced by the long
and continuous strain to which
they were subjected and which was
successfully withstood without a
single weak spot developing. i
