WATERS CAUSE BREAK IL
TIE MISSISSIPPI ltVtE
creviee is Small One, However,
and Damage VIII Be
Very Slight

According to telegraphic ad-
vices received here yesterday,
the Mississippi river levee gave
away near Beulah, twenty miles
north of GreenviIle about mid.
night Friday night, the break
having resulted from the unusu-
ally high water which followed
the exceedingly heavy rains of
the past few weeks.
The crevice, which is in a por-
ton of tie levee which was re-
paired by the government last
summer, is a small one. and the
resultant damage will not be ex-
tenslve.

Another Opportunity.

/. Yesterday we had 10 many
phone inquiries as to whether or
not our white sale would contin-
ue another week and so many
stated that they were prevented
from shopping by the bad wealth
er, we have decided to extend
the sale through this week and
give those who were unable to
attend another opportunity to
secure some of the many big
values the sale affords. We trust
the weather will be better this
week and we hope to see many
out. The Woman's Store.

Wednesday, January 22nd.
THE splendid manhood there
assembled, with their earnest,
thoughtful attention given the
success of the entire program,

sentiment created through the

the Gulf to Memphis, the papers
entered into the support of the
affair, and while there were
thousands present. many more
thousAnds read your paper and
caught the enthusiasm of the
hour, and while we may never

continued good will and support
we feel sure that THE Tombig-
