Drainage OF Yellow Creek.


l was much pleased to read the

age Of Yelle~, Greek bottom. This
is progressive age in which we
live and those who lie down to
sleep while the march of improve
ment goes by will awake to fin I
himself out-classed and a back
number, SO to speak. The idea
that the people of this community
shall sit tamely down aud allow
the frogs, snakes and tadpoles to
monopolize and occupy the best
and richest agricultural lands in
the community is absurd and un-
worthy. 1t forms. at present,
the breeding place of myriads of
mosquitoes whose business it is
to spread malaria through the sur
rounding country, but when once
thoroughly drained Mr. Mosquito
will be put out of business and
his place occupied by crops of lux.
uriant corn and other products.
oh" but you say; it will
cost something" That it will,
and it would not be worth having
if it didn't. Whoever heard of a
great and beneficial project being
carried through without cost? All
things worth having cost some
thing. The only question neces-
sary to be asked is. will it pay?"
To answer this properly and cor
rectly it may be necessary to make
little trip either to Prentiss or
Lee Counties or to portions of Ar
kansas. and Missouri where the
drainage system has had several
years test. =. You will find there
evidences that cannot be disputed
and they all point to the great
{ success of the drainage system.
You will find that land which sold
at from S. to $40 per acre before
the drainage system was institut-
ed is now selling at from SIS to
SIPS per acre. when it does sell,
but you will find precious little of
it.for sale. The land is better
in estment than the money it will
bring. | know there are some
people who are SO contrary and
SO narrow that they would object
to going to Heaven by any Other
route than the one they have Sc
lected and blazed out, but we
must struggle to overcome the
prejudices and inertia of this class
and pull them along. We cannot
afford to have the progress of our
community hampered by such peo-
pie. Constant dripping of water

The Abandoned Home.

Some three miles east of Iuka,
surrounded by a forest of second
growth timber, is an abandoned
farm. There is a dim, old road
that leads to the place and there
are ruins of old chimneys where
there once stood happy home,
some half century ago. Briers
grow in the old garden place and
choke up the way to the spring
from whence came the supply of
water for the family years ago.
This is the McKeown old place.
From this home stalwart son,
Isaac by name, went forth to the
great Confederate war and follow
