Splendid OYSTER Reefs.

Biloxi.-That the oyster reefs in Mis-
sissippi are in fine condition and that
there are enough young oysters to run
all Mississippi factories for the next ten
years is the opinion OF the head OF one
of BiloXi's leading packing Industries,
who, with another member OF the firm,
has lust returned from a on OF inv"s-
"tigation and inspection of the state reefs
at Waveland, Pass Christian and Deer
Island. He declares that, while many OF
the oysters are comparatively small and
will not be marketable until l~91+-l5,
that the reefs are in excellent condition
and that this crop Of young oysters Is
so great that after next season, they Will
be ready for the market and should last
for the next ten years without any
trouble.

CROPS VERY MUCH
IN NEED OF RAIN
PROLONGED DROUrH VERY DETRI-
MENTAL TO CROPS.
Very Little Moisture Has Fallen This
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Suffering, as
Well as Cotton, Vegetables
and Flowers.

Jackson.-Crops in this section of Mis-
sissippi are beginning to suffer heavily
because OF the prolonged drouth, and
rain is badly needed at this time.
Less rain has fallen during this month
than in any June for many years. In
fact, the rainfall has been practically
nothing, and flowers, vines, vegetables,
etc, are drying up 8 per cent for lack
OF sufficient moisture.
Watermelon and cantaloupe vines have
suffered greatly, and farmers in some
sections predict that if rain does not
fall in plentiful quantities at an early
day the watermelon crop will be a fail
ure. At present the melons are very
stunted in their growth, and there will
be few native melons on the market by
the fourth OF July.
The drouth is now i%njuring cotton. For
some time the dry season was hailed
with delight by farmers, because OF its
effect in stopping the propagation OF the
boil weevii, but the drouth hae been ~
prolonged that the good it did in dimin-
ishing the number of weevils bids fair
to be more than ofi.et by lack OF moist
ure for the plants.
Rain is what the farmers want right
now. and the appearance OF every cloud
is the signal for much hopeful specula
ton regarding the prospects for a long
and steady d%ownpour.

BATTLE FLAGS ELIMINATED
Old Confederate Says Decision is .
Wise One.

Birmingham, Ala.-"I think that the
decision OF the federal government that
no old battle flags shall be brought to
Gettysburg at the reunion next month
Is a wise one" said a confederate vet
sran. "The coming reunion is planned
to obliterate all feeling between the
North and the South. 1t would be ex-
tremely unfortunate should any unto
ward incident mar the occasion, and in
my opinion the surest way to produce
one would be to allow the battle flags
to be brought there.
There is nothing which a soldier re-
CARDS with higher veneration thsn the
flag for which he fights. II symbolizes
all that he loves. All the Confederate
commands by federal regiments by which
they were captured, and if these were
brought to the reunion it might easily
lead to i'll feeling.
Il remember one incident Of the fight
around Chattanooga that exemplifies, |
think, the generation with which a SOL
der regards his flag. An Alabama regi.
nent had been offered to hold a slight
eminence near Orchard Knob and was be-
ing outflanked. In addition there was a
heavy fire from forces in front with a
CALLING crossfire. Men were falling thick
and fast and our commander, seeing that
the situation was hopeless, gave the or
der to retreat. The color-bearer was in
the val encouraging the men and he
was Ioath to leave the position. When
the men fell back, as they did suddenly
he was left alone on the top of the emf
nence. Just as he started to follow III
a ball passed through his body and h'
fell dead.
INSTANTLY there was a cry of Saw
the flag from our fellows, and abou'
q dozen rushed back, seized the color
and succeeded in rejoining the regiment

in the face OF that fire, but a dozel
men had risked their lives to save tn
flag from capture"

New Weeyil Catcher.

Yazoo City.-Mr. J. 4. Newsome, Il
farmer, living in the eastern part OF the
county, has invented a boil weevil eN-
terminator. 1t consists of a heart
shaped pan with a long handle attach
ed. The pan is hooked around the stalk
of the cotton and the plant is shaken
and swept by a broomlike thing and boil
weevils fall into the pan and are killed
by the oil therein. The invention prom
ises to be a very popular one, owing to
its simplicity and the benefit received
from it. All who have tried it have
pronounced it a success.

Story Of the Famous Battle Of
Gettysburg, Fought Fifty
Years Ago.
LOSS OF LIFE WAS FEARFUL
Both Armies Struggled eraveiy, and
the c~onfederates Were Conquered
Only After Three Days Of
Bloody Conflict

Fifty years ago nearly 165, 900 Amer
deans met on the field Of Gettysburg.
and for three days fought one Of the
greatest battles of history. Gen. Rob
'ert E. Lees army Of some $4,000
southerners which had invaded the
north was met there and overcome by
about $4,000 Federal troops under the
command Of Gen. George G. Meade,
and the tide Of fortune in the Civil
war, which up to then had often IA
"yored the south, was turned. There
after the C~onfederacy vas on the de-
.fensive.
Though the south lost the battle,
there was nothing to choose between
their bravery In the conflict and that
of the northerners. Both armies
fought with valor and stubbornness,
and the losses in dead and wounded
were tremendous.
Commanding the corps Of the Union
army were Generals John F. Reynolds,

George Sykes. John Sedgwick. o. o.
Howard and H. w. Slocum. Lees
corps commanders were Generals
James Longstreet. Richard s. Ewen
and A. P. Hill.

enemy, arrived at Gettysburg the eve

succeeded him. was forced back to

and then had to abandon that posi-
ton. 80 that the Nrst day Of the bat

entire Union army to, Gettysburg. and
by next moraing the two armies were

WILL SUE TRUSTEES.
Gov. Brewer to Make Effort to Recover
From Guaranty Companies.

1AOAA SObNtaS
Jackson.@Gov. Brewer will instruct
the attorney generals office during the
week to file civil suits against the Of
fetal bonds OF Messrs. c. G. Smith, W.
A. Montgomery and Leroy Taylor, and
apply the sums recovered to the shortage
in the ~count OF Lawrence Ie:ger, the
defaulting secretary.
Gov. Brewer holds that the trustees
are liable on their official bonds for the
full amount OF the shortage: that they
neglected TO comply with the plain pro
visions of the statutes requiring them to
personally pay into the state treasury
all moneys derived from the sale Of pris-
on farm products; that they allowed
these moneys to pass through the hands
of the prison secretary, who had no au-
thority in law to handle funds, and 1t
was therefore due to the careiessness and
negligence of the trustees that II was
possible for the secretary to embezzle
such a large sum.
Il am going to see that the state gets
what is coming to il, or know the reason
why" says the governor.
The trustees are under guaranty bonds
In the sun OF 100000 each, and the gov
ernor believes that the legal authority
exists to recover on these bonds for the
entire period of the shortage.
