The Orphanage affords an asylum for 100

Buck Ridge GAP Closed.

Major w. G.. Caples, head of the Unit
ed States army engineers for this district,
says the New Orleans Daily States, reached
his Office in the Queen & Crescent build
ing late Monday, from Newellton, La,
where he has been for several weeks SUI
perintending the new levee at Buck Ridge,
which was necessitated by the crevasse
there in February
The break has been completely closed,
Major Caples said, though it was not
closed any too soon, for on Monday
morning the river, which is slowly rising,
reached its base. Had the water gone
through it would have meant that farm
ers in that section would be unable to
plant crops this season.
The government engineers are confident
that the new protection levee will prove
sufficient to withstand the new flood. It
was constructed to meet stage of as
feet on the Vicksburg guage.

Capt. o. X. Wilds of the ROYAL

and Hard Times this week and ar
ranged with Mr.. Dan Morris for the
lease OF the public landing at that
point. Capt. Wilds expects to in
stall a motor truck between Hard
Times and Newelton for the trans
portation of freight and will deliver
whenever possible same day freight
is received. He has met a number
of our planters and business men,
practically all of whom have assured
him business and he feels confident
he will make the venture success.
He will take charge of the landing
at once and will install the motor
truck as soon as same can be OBJ
tanned.
The many friends in this his
former home of Mr.. w. G. Hodge,
the affable and accommodating rail
road agent, now located at St. Jo-

attend the Masonic Lodge, in which
he holds his card of membership,
and also to attend the dance, where
he is also cordially welcome. Mr..
Hodge served our people and the
railroad company as agent for about
two and a half years and during bis
stay with us, made many very warm
friends, who regretted his departure
when he was transferred to St. Jo-
seph, and who are always glad to
have him visit them. In the three
years that he has been at St. Joseph
his visits to us have been a less
number of times, and his friends
would impress upon him that the
latch string always hangs on the
