HISTORIC FLAG RECEIVED.
Department of Archives and History
Now Has Valued Trophy.

Now Has Valued Trophy.
Jackson.-Dr. Dunbar Rowland OF the
department of archives and history has'
received another historic flag, a relic
of the war between the states.
1t was presented by Capt. S. B. Watts,
the last captain OF the company. 1t was
made by the ladies of Brandon, and
presented to the company in 1861 just
before the boys in gray went to the
front from old Rankin. A
Capt. George N. Miller was at the heaS
of the company at that time, and alwas 4
took the flag with him ints battle. Just
before the opening of the engagement
| at Shiloh he folded up the flag and
| placed it in his breast inside his blouse.
| Shortly afterward he was killed, and a
| Capt. Hoskins of an Illinois regiment
procured the flag the body OF the Con-
federate solder.
He sent it as a trophy to his family
who afterward moved out to Colorado.
Years afterward a party of excursionists
stopped off at Vicksburg, and one OIL
them in conversation with Mr.. Hams Oh
that city concerning flags, described tn
one out West that had formerly bj
longed to the Rankin Rifles. I
This started the search, and after some
interesting correspondence between those
interested, the trophy was finally SEM
back to Maj. Pat Henry and turned ove1
to Capt. Watts.

is promising. The farmers are finding
about one-tenth as many boil weevils az

"The corn crop has been seriously in
jured by the grass worm. Many feids
have been destroyed. However, replant.
ing is being done, and a good crop OF
corn will, no doubt, be made.
thousands of acres of over;iowed and
wet land remain unbroken. The farmers
seem to be at a loss to know what &c
plant on this land. | desire to offer just
one suggestion at this time. The soy
bean is a good late crop and can Dc
planted after it is too late for corn and
cow peas. This crop is far better than
COW peas on rich, moist land, as they do

the oyster commission of Mississippi, re-
ceived a telegram from jackson saying
he had won in his fight before the SUI
preme court in the case of the State OF
Mississippi VS.. the Barataria Canning
Company. This decision of the supreme
court has a direct bearing upon a num-
Der of other cases brought by the state
through the board of oyster commission
era against Gamers and shippers Of oys-
tiers. The point involved is the right OF
the commission to collect the special tax
of three cents per barrel on oysters
brought here for canning or shopping
purposes or from other states.

reports that conditions are somewhat de-
pressing as a result of the floods, the
cotton that has been planted is coming
up fine.
The planters are turning strongly TO-
ward corn planting this year, and are
having good success with it. This re-
duces the cotton acreage considerably.
Mr.. Stovall says that it is not a
pleasant sight to see so much idle land
as one observes in the delta this year.
MANY acres that had been planted In
cotton this time last year are now to-
