The one great neglected part of the occupation of farmers in this country is the selling end. This presents an Economic part of our business which cannot be handled successfully except by concert of action. by combination of effort, under well managed co. operative associations. In no other way can our products be standardized and their distribut- ion be systematized. To under. take to correct the economic CT TOT of the individual selling sys- tenn by scattered individual eff fort is like trying to stop a flame by pouring oil on it; it is as futile as trying to dam back the wa ters of the Niagra with a pitch fork. The only way out is first through distributive co-operat- ion, and then possibly through productive cooperation. Pro gressive Farmer.

We have ne yer understood some things about human race.
 Why is it easier to be mean than kind? Why does a man have Co make an effort to be pleasant when he has to grip himself to keep from being mean. It is one of the things that cannot be explained. Kindness pays such big dividends that one wishes it was inherent. Meaness makes trouble everywhere and 0 n e wonders why' it is more natural to blurt out a mean word than to speak a kindfone. It is all down in the blood and we must make the best of it. The thing to do is repress the bad. The world

Special to The Nel1S.
Jackson, Miss, April 22.-Gov Breer
did not hear of the break in the levee
at Shipwith until last night and he
Immediately sent Adjutant General
Arthur Fridge to Vicksburg to take
charge of rescuing the people who
might be marooned. The Governor re-
lieved Walter S. Sillers, of Rosedale,
from acting as relief agent for Missis-
sippi. The Governor has appointed
State Senator W. H. Clements of Roll
ing Fork as relief agent.
According to the estimates of Gov
ernor Brewer the break at Shipwith
will flood a large area of land. The
whole of Issaquena county, the south
ern half of Sharkey, the delta portion
of Warren and a small part of Yazoo
probably will be flooded in very short
while. The War Department, it is said,
will send ample funds for relief pur-
poses and there will be no occasion
for Governor Brewer to issue dis
tress appeal.
Crevasse Wldens Rapidly.
Vicksburg, Miss, April 22.-At 1880
Monday afternoon the main levee on
the Mississippi river protecting the
Woodlawn plantation, three-quarters of
a mile from Shipwith and about three
miles north of Mayerville, broke in
a 2OO-foot crevasse and during the aft
ernoon widened considerably. The ef-
feet of the break will be to flood near
ly all of Sharkey, Issaquena, the lower
end of Washington and part of War
rem counties, flood the main and
branch lines of the Yazoo & Mississip-
nj Valley Railroad and flood the towns
of Mayersville, Rolling Fork, Grace,
Cary, Smedes, Valley Park, Kelso,
F1oweree, and as far north on the
Kelso branch as Potosi.
Immediately upon information of the
break, Capt. W. w. Brady, U. s. A.,
who was stationed here, sent out the
steamer Nakomis, which, in charge OF
Lieutenant Blaine, win operate both in

SHIPMENT OF

CITY OFFICERS coNFIscATE SHIP
MENT DELIVERED AT FOUR
O'CLOCK THIS A. M.

At four o'clock this monring Officers
Beverly and Messer observed Ben
Jones hack with all curtains down
making its way down Mobile street.
Following closely they noticed the
hack stop at the house occupied by Eli
Powell, on Mobile street Just as they
came up Jones was in the act of un-
loading a case of goods and noting
that the officers were near he hur-
riedly threw the case on Powell's front
gallery, jumped into his hack and start
ed on the run, needless of two pistol
shots fired for the purpose of attract
ing his attention when he ignored the
officers command to halt.
After Jones made his escape certain,
the officers made an inspection to
learn what goods had been delivered
by the hackman and were rewarded
with a find of two 3-gallon cases of
whiskey, one case containing three
dozen large bottles of beer and one
gallon Of gin. All of this liquor was
taken to the city hall where it is now
stored.
In connection with these express
shipments the officers say their work
Of apprehending the blind tigers is
made all the more difficult because of
the practice of the local express office
in delivering liquor in the early morn
before daylight. The shipment men
toned was removed from the express
office between three and four O'Clock
this morning. Most of the recent seiz.
ures of liquor have been reclaimed
fof the reason that a recent decision
of the Supreme court throws upon the
Municipality or the State the burden
of proving that the liquor was intend
ed for sale. No claimant has yet had
the nerve to file claim for the large
haul made in this instance.

all aliens, who have not declared their

the privileges of land ownership they
can do so along lines already followed
