as the wheat crop. or the hay crop

BIG WATER COMING.

Present indications are that the
Mississippi will be ON a rampage be-
fore many days. The prospect is
good for about As feet ON the Cairo
guage between now and the middle
of next week. The river has been
rising rapidly for several days, and
bottom planters are taking measures
to protect their families. stock and
property.
This will doubtless put Mengel out
Of business as well as inundate the
western section of the town.
We hope the water will get about
ten feet deep on the property of the
fellows who would not offer to help
the proposition to build a levee in
West Hickman last fall.
At any rate. it's coming; get ready
for 1t.

languages were tried on the Hlnou,

acquainted. .u.,,.o.
Railiffs scurried around the building
in search of an interpreter and finally
found Solomon S. Khlar, who said ne
could talk a Hindu language, but did
not think the defendant would be able
to understand it. He was preValleu
ON by Judge Davis to try 1t, and IL
was found to work.

peared, and he declared he was not
guilty. He further stated that he had
used a stick of wood on Serry solely

Friday morning at $3.50 o'clock, and in
