FROM OVER OUR GREAT STATE.

Bachelor, Oct 2.-This section of Pointe
Coupee Parish has been visited by almost
continuous rains, day and night, for ten
days.
New Iberia, Oct 2.-Three weeks' Of
continuous downpour OF rain, the heaviest
in the historyof this section, ended to-day.
The results are disastrous. The hay crop
throughout the parish has received the
worst damage, the loss being figured at
fully so per cent. Pea hay is total failure.
The local Weather Bureau reports that
during the rainy period in September 0.93
inches fell. The week beginning Septem-
Der 25, 1885 inches fell. The heaviest
rainfall was Saturday, 9th, when II
inches fell.
Lake Charles, Oct. 2.-Losses from the
flood in the Calcasieu River, which at last
began to recede to-day, will aggregate
from 81, 0OO, 900 to So, 900, 900, according to
the best estimates that can be made. The
rice acreage affected by the flood is reck-
oned at 5000, on which an average Of
eight sacks an acre should be produced.
Rice men to-day figured that at the present
outlook 50 per cent loss might be ex-
pected, though very favorable weather
would reduce this. Railroads will suffer
the next greatest loss. Sawmill men, log
gers and the public works of the parish
have suffered heavy losses. Reports here
indicate that half the bridges on the public
roads have gone. The heavy current from
| the Calcasieu swept across the country
from Oldtown Bay to English Bayou and
flooded the east part of the city to within
five blocks Of the lake. Business in the
city still is practically suspended and it
will be several days, under the most favor
able circumstances, before the boats will
disappear from the city streets.

were lost in the Texas floods of the past
two weeks.

houses, covering two miles of territory next
to the sea, were wrecked. No lives were

erty damage was heavy.
San Marcos, Texas, Oct. Flood dam
age totalling at least s250, 900 has resulted
in this section during the last twenty four
hours, due to an unprecedented stage in
the San Marcos and Blanco rivers, which
now form large lake. Several costly
steel bridges have collapsed, and railroad
traffic is practically suspended.
San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 2.-The San
Antonio River, which overlooked its banks
to-day, flooding portion Of San Antonio
and playing havoc throughout Southwest
Texas, is falling rapidly Tonight. Train
service still is crippled and wire commune
cation interrupted to number of towns.
Ia San Antonio it is estimated that the
damage to property and stocks Of goods in
the district inundated, will reach $500, 600.
It Is not believed that the damage in the
smaller towns and plantations along the
stream will fall short Of ST ,OOO, 600. A
woman and three children were drowned
near Hot Wells and two women and two
children lost their lives near Georgetown.

The Mansfield Enterprise of last Thurs

the roads and bridges Of the parish, is not
less than $4,000. damages. The model

printing Office by the Vermilion News, on

. bricks came down with terrible crash
tearing away the ceiling of editor Scan
lands bedroom and came within an ace oil
killing him. He was injured about the
head and chest by the falling bricks. Had
he not changed his position few moments
previously, he would have undoubtedly
been killed as he was sitting upon the edge
of the bed examining some Police Jury
records and had just gotten up and gone
to his desk q few feet distant when thu
chimney fell. The mass of brick ane
wreckage falling upon the bed crushed j
like an eggshell.'

Two Touching Tributes.

Monroe News-star October eth.]
The sweetest features of the Confederate
Reunion just held in Monroe were two
touching tributes paid by the State sponsor
and maids Of honor and chaperon of the
Louisiana Division Of the United Confed-
crate Veterans to the old soldiers.
just before the close OF the reunion Sat-
urday morning, while all the Veterans were
in the Auditorium after Gen. Booths elo-
quent remarks, Miss Fannye Ringgold of
Alexandria, first maid of honor on behalf
of the sponsor, maids and chaperon, step
ped forward and thanked Gen. Shaffer and
his brave soldiers for the honor that had
been bestowed upon them, assuring them
that it was very much appreciated, and the
reunion of 1918 would be one to be long
remembered, and cherished in their hearts
and the pleasure it had afforded them TO
be with the Veterans on this occasion. She
also thanked the people Of Monroe for their
gracious hospitality, which made their visit
in the city one of much pleasure.
In the afternoon General and Mrs.
Thomas j. Shaffer were called to the parlor

little silver tray, on which was engraved
With love and affection from your official
family, Cornelia Thornton, sponsor; Fannye
RihRgold, first maid Of honor; Matte Belle
