Is coming III, ana FllJ or sunshine is noticeable trough the clouds.
 It was reported here this morning that Rock Island trains would b. op- erated into Memphis today Traffic was opened and train service resumed in and out of Memphis over the Iron Mountain Route this morning at 10 o'clock It is a matter of conjecture, however, as to how long the railroads will be able to keep their lines open because there is no way to estimate what damage the water from the Wilson break will create.
 The flood, the food The mighty Mighty Mississippi Again it is on the rampage. People are fleeing from the rich valley country, where hun dreds of farmers had their farming operations for the present season well under way-many were proudly view ing promising fields Of young corn, al. ready from an inch and a half to three inches high, and many had their corn lands planted and their cotton lands bedded up anu ready 10 plant Now all is chaos and confusion: much of the worK has been for naught. Young crops that were already up are being destroyed. and all the people are flee ing for their lives before the encroach- ments of the relentless and onrushing waters.
 Old-time rivermen predict a repeti- tiOn of the disasters Of 1912, and pos sibly worse There Is no way Of de. scriblng the alarming conditions now prevailing ln the counties Of Missis- sippi, Crittcnden, St Francis, Lee and Philips, which comprise Ihe bulk Of the territory in Eastern Arkansas known as the area subject t0Cyerilow.
 Excitement ran high here Monday night on account Of the fact that for the blst time since flood warnings have been issued Rock Island passen- senger train No 0oj, due t1 arrive in this city & iJ0 c clock, Was annuded and no afternoon papers were circu- lated Aere. All Rock Island trains east into Memphis were also tieu up on this date between Forrest City and Hubert. Viewed from any angle. the situation IS " bilious
 Instead 0f improving, the conditions have grown from tad 10 worse as the week grows older
 News of break in the ievee which occurred in the early morning hours Tuesday reached the city a few hours afterward and spread like wildfre. People were frantic in their efforts to get news Of their friends in the low lands.
 The leveeS, levee boards and the Mississippi river have been "cussed" and discussed wherever men have gathered together throughout the en- tire week, because the coming of the floods again this year means ruin and bankruptcy 10 large number of the best citizenship of this section Of the state and the paralysis Of business throughout one of the most prolific and fertile as well as one of the most rapidly developing timbered and farm ing sections of Arkansas,
 Every man has his theory about the river, and every man has some advice to give out about what ought to be done to the levees. The situation has been threshed out from a thousand viewpoints. One man says the river ought to be straightened and dredged another says the levees ought to be dynamited and mounds built: then you'll meet a man who points out that there is certain ridge just south of Cairo that runs down to the bank

Upper rivers generally falling. Emery says recent rains over the Ohio watershed have SO far caused no increased stages in the river and St. Louis Reports no change since yesterday. The fall at Mem phis is caused by the water going through the break at Wilson.

Lobster Irvine,

A man who had wondered what lob.
ster Irvine was found the answer very
simple. 1t is fine quality, stout Irvine
an eighth OF an inch in diameter. made
OF manila hemp and originally intend
ed for making the netted part of lob
ster pots Lobster Irvine has come
also to be used on board vessels. both
sail and steam, for serving ropes, for
whipping ropes, including ropes even
Of wire. and for various other purposes
for which stout. durable Irvine OF
this size might prove useful. There Is
probably more lobster Irvine used now
on vessels than for the purpose for
which II was first made.

Ia dispose of the books of the last two
named counties i'm order to devote all
