The DUNBAR CHILD.

Julia Anderson, the woman
whom w. C. Walters says is the
mother of the Dunbar child went
to Opelousas on Thursday last for
the purpose of Identifying the
child as her son. She failed to
recognize him as being her boy,
Bruce, whom she had confided to
the keeping Of the man Walters,
now in Jail at Columbia, Miss.
She examined the child's body
carefully to see whether the birth
marks which were on the body Of
her child claimed by the Dunbars.
She failed to find them; they were
not there. This must have con-
WINGED her. She said, "My boy
is not In this ROOM"
This m othcr's failure to identify
the child, whom she so earnestly
hoped was her boy, and the ply
sical facts showed by the person
of the child, taken together, make
it reasonably certain that Mr.. and
Mrs. Dunbar have found their
baby which was lost. The BAN
NER r-joices wish them. that all
doubt of his identity has been
dispeiled.

The weather the past week,
while being rather cool fol-
the crops, is nevertheless most
favorable for the levees on the
Mississippi river. 1t is calculated
to keep that part of them above
the water dry, and the north wind
will harden them, and enable
them to better resist the pressure
of the rising water. The rest of
the flood is fast nearing our levees,
and its heaviest strain will soon
be on them. Let us hope that
this favorable weather will CON-
tinuc, and that the great work
being done by the government
and the people, will so strengthen
our levees as to cause them to
successfully resist the food and
save this already stricken country
from utter destruction.

The District Court has been
busy for the last three weeks in
the trial of criminal cases. The
business Of the court has been
weary, but it has been dispensed
smoothly, effectively, and with
the result of enforcing the law
fairly, but firmly. The Judge
has presided with ability, firm
ness and fairness, and with the
valuable assistance of the we'll or.
ganized forces of the Sheriff's Of
fee and the Clerks Office, the
business of. the court has been
transacted without any embarras-
ing circumstances or hitch. The
District Attorney too is to be con-
graduated on his work. This is his
first term as a prosecutor, and he
has acquitted himself ably and
successfully in the performance OF
his duties which of necessity are
arduous. st. Mary should be fully
satisfied with her officers.

The Flood In North Louisiana.

The breaking of the st. John
levee in Concordia parish is a
great and appalling disaster. 1t
will result in almost absolute ruin
to q great number of our people,
who suffered immensely last year
from q similar disaster. 1t is es.
timated that the water running
through this crevasse will spread
over and destroy the crops on
about nine hundred square miles
of the richest land in Louisiana,
and will render homeless thous-
ands of it's best citizens. 1t is
horrible to contemplate the loss,
the misery and suffering caused
by the merciless waters of this
mighty river.
We who live down here in the
low lands of Louisiana, who are
frequent sufferers from overflows,
and who have felt to the limit
their devastating and desolating
effect, can we'll sympathize land
do most sincerely sympathize)
with the people of Concordia,
Tensas, Catahoula and Franklin
parishes in this. their day of
stress, ruin and intense suffering.
