T-,o, Feb. oath there was born i'll this
CITY social and fraternal order to be
known as the "Crawfish Club, regularly |
with a full quota of officers
and q treasury.
The main purpose of this order is to

certain regions.

eugrave upoi, the tablets of time name
that heretofore has seemingly escaped
attention, possibly being considered 100
lowly. They have seen and felt the
many good points Of this humble creature
They have seen how they stick together
how they endeavor to back out Of trouble,
how they cautiously feel their way, how
tiev fight for their rights, but when the
time comes for the sacrifice, how they
give up their small lives without woro
that others might live.
i All of which many humans could emu
late and which this organization VII
endeavor to do, thereby endeavoring t.
consecrate the name OF Crawilsh'
The crawfish is found spread over til
. entire universe and such is the ultinat
0 intent of this order Mighty oaks fror

To keep this band together and l

intention of this order through differet
~ members to have weekly outings through

Great Waterway Again
on Rampage and Flood
ing Valuable Lands.

The great Mississippi river,
which is again on it's annual
boom, will not for sometime
reach the highest point on he
lower river. Last Saturday the
first notable break occurred at
Beulah, Miss, breaking over at
a point overlooked by the engi-
neers. The area to be inundat.
ed was at first estimated at 200,
600 acres, with a population Of
hundreds of families driven to
the hills for safety. The danger
will not be lessened until Feby.,
10th, when stage of 18 feet al
New Orleans has been Indicated
this week. Much depends, how
ever, on the rainfall in the next
fortnight. The calculation OF
this week is that the area now

than that Of last year.
