this bend in the river, and as the men
could not decide, it was left to my mo-
ther, Mrs. Harriet Byron Blanton,
to give the bend a name. She remark
ed that as there were no married man
present at the dinner except her hus-
band, all the others being bachelors,
she proposed to name it Bachelors ,
Bend, which was adopted.
In the upper portion of the county
Georgetown bend was named after
Georgetown, KY Miller's Bend just
below, was named for Mr. Miller, who
settled on it, but abandoned his place
on account of overfows. Below it on
the Arkansas side was Spanish Moss
Bend from the first Spanish moss
found on coming down the river.
Lake Lee in the early days was a
part of the river, and was named
Shirt Tail Bend, from the squatters
who sold their cord wood to the steam
boats. When the boats landed at night
these squatters would come to the
boats in their shirt tails to get their
money.
Gazing Banks.
The immense changes in the banks
of the Mississippi river caused great
loss to the planters living on them,
as instanced on Argyle plantation,
which has entirely caved away and is
now located on the sandbar above
Greenville.
When I was boy the river at War
fields point ran in almost a straight
line to Woodstock, and was known by
the pilots as "Long Reach, bearing
close upon the Arkansas shore where
there is now located a sandbar.
In time the river gradually wore
to the eastward, washing away first
in front a small island known by the
steamboat pilots as "TOwhead', then
it gradually encroached upon Island
SO, about 700 acres, wore that away,
and then occupied the chute east of
it, the name of which was Bacon chute,
from the fact that the counterfeiters
on the island in the early times swim

The river has steadily encroached
upon the Mississippi shore just above
Greenville, first occupying the Argyle
plantation, then 400 acres of Scott
plantation and about 800 acres of the
Belle Aire plantation. (see geodetic
survey of Mr.. Lamar Fontaine, now in

Topography of the Country.

The Mississippi river is supposed to
run on a ridge. When the United Sta
tes engineers a number of years ago
made a geodetic survey of the river,
I was informed that they run levels
from the bank of the river near Green
vile to the base of the hills near
Greenwood, where the alIuviaI deposit
at that point touched the hills. Tt was
thirty-two feet lower than on the bank
of the river sixty miles distant.
I do not give this as exact, but by
reference to the geodetic survey rec
ords at Washington it can be estab-
lished.
The streams of the county alternate
as to the height of their banks. Rattle
Snake Bayou, high bank; Black Bayou,
low; Deer Creek, high; Bogue PhaIia,
low; Indian Bayou, high.

Names Of Streams.

Rattle Snake Bayou gets its name
from the immense number of rattle
snakes driven to its high banks by the
overflow of the river.
Black Bayou was so named on ac-
count of the color of the water which
was stained by the leaves.
Deer Creek was Issaquena, from the
Indian name.
Indian Bayou was named from the
Choctaw Indians.
Bogue PhaGa was the Indian name

The woman's throat was cut

in the hands of Quamme, that
the woman's head was nearly

any danger of a shortage of beef in the

In addresses before the association
tlrey declared that as long as S2oosoors-
600 worth of beef lis exported from
America each year there is no danger
of a shortage.
''The price of beef in Chicago is reg
ulated by the price received for our
surplus cattle shipped abroad" said
Mr. Mackenzie "The howl that pres
ent prices are putting beef beyond the
reach of the poor man is unwarranted.
1t is true that if the consumer demands
the choice cuts he must pay for them.
but good beef is within the reach of
all.
''At present prices stockmen are
just beginning to realize a fair return
on their investments. What we would
advocate is better cattle, not more Of
them. 1t is a terrible mistake to urge
farmers and homesteaders to enter the
cattle business"

BILE Discussing the causes of high
prices, the governor says:
Combines Blamed.
There is a widespread belief that
among the causes combinations and
conspiracies to stife competition and
advance prices figure largely. This be-
lief is apparently justified by the enor-
nous differences between the prices
paid the farmers, cattle raisers and
other producers and those paid by the
consumers to dealers from whom they
directly receive their supplies.
Work Both Ends.
"It is currently reported, too, on
statements of such dealers and other
authorities that the prices at which
they sell are fixed by those from whom
they buy with threats of cutting of fur
ther dealings if prices so fixed are not
maintained"
