THE FLooD-DEC. 1919.

The flood tide on the Chickasaw-
hay river sent down bv the great
rainfall about Meridian and Enter
prise on the 9TH. to 10th began TO
show up at Leakesville the latter
part of the week overlooking the
swamp on the other side and creep
ing up and up and on up-until late
Saturday evening the Highway be
gan to show blowouts at the end Of
two of the slough bridges and by
Sunday morning the Highway bad
been completely covered and the
flood waters were running pretty
near over the banister rail of the
first slough bridge from the river
and was up on the lower end of the
wooden portion of the river bridge
for quite a space The crest of the
waters reached here that day It's a
little hard to ascertain just how it
compares with the FLOOD of 1900 as
there were two marks made by that
Flood, the one in April which was
the highest and the one in June.
Anyway that flood got over the
bluff about waist deep on this side
where the J McInnis old ferry land
ing was and also about the same wash
over the log landing on lower side
of the cove there. This time it just
came to the edge Of the said bluff, So
it lacked something over foot and
maybe two feet or more. The re-
ports from Enterprise and in that
section state that IL lacked IA inches
of reaching the highest water-mark
of 1900, and in one place possibly
Basic City, it went two feet above, |
due possibly to local rain conditions.
Leaf river as near as we can learn
got up correspondingly high BY
Monday morning the flood waters
we're receding and have never check
ed and at this writing Friday morn
ing, foot passengers can get over the
highway bv walking planks over
some blown-out places and the road
crew will be gotten to the scene pos
siblY tomorrow and begin WORK to
get such highway in temporary pas
slble condition. Owing to the gov
ernment warning sent out ahead
there was scarcely no loss to STOCK
or damage otherwise done. except
to interruption to traffic by cessa-
ton of crossing the river for the
several days involved. Tram service !
into Leakesville over thef river
bridge was resumed today friday

AROUND THE WORLD
WITH THE AMERICAN
NARED CROSS. .A
WR2 In Roumania. IAN

Soon after the entrance OF the
United States in the war the successes
of the Central Powers in Roumania
had reduced that country to a most
tragic condition and in the summer
of 1917, the American Red Cross des-
patched its first Roumanian relief
contingent. Two hospitals were at
once taken over and operated by the
Red Cross, canteen for the starving
refugees established and food and
clothing distributed over large area.
Transportation was one of the
toughest problems with which the Red
Cross workers in Roumania had to
deal. Here is seen an oxcart used
by the Red Cross to carry its relief
supplies up into the mountains.

Washington. and she was spoken of
by both white and black as Aunt
Charity" DIED, at their home near
LaakesvilIe. Miss. on Saturday
morning, December ID, 1919, after a
lingering illness of several weeks.
Ye edit tor has known Aunt Charity
for about twenty years and we have
always been impressed with her de-
sire to deal right and get along with
the white folks; principle which so
many of those of her race are devoid
in these days and times. She and
John have lived happily together all
these years and he has the sympathy
of his white friends along with those
of his own race in his sorrow.

RED CROSS NEEDED.
Gives More Ah Than Ever to Serv-
ice Mems Families.

More than double the amount of
money normally spent per month for
the relief of families of service men
was spent during the month of Au-
gust by the Gulf Division of the
American Red Cross, according to a
statement made Saturday by Harry
L. Hopkins, director of Civilian Re-
lief. Up to August, 1919, total of
$114,624.76 had been spent for this
work in Alabama, Louisiana and
Mississippi. During August $12,-
264.25 was spent for the same pur-
pose in these states.
"This makes total" said Mr..
Hopkins, "of $126,889.1O expended
for the relief of families of soldiers
in the Gulf Division, of which sum
a tenth was spent during the month
of August. The reason for this is
primarily the fact that most able
bodied soldiers are discharged by this
timeaan are fully able to take care
of their families themselves. Those
who remain are to a large degree
those who are still in the hospitals
and who can do nothing 1or the per
aons dependent upon them.
"a very significant feature of this
report is the striking manner in
which it emphasizes the need for the
continuation of the Red Cross work
even in times of peace. Obviously,
If we are spending more for the re-
lief of soldiers families in August
nearly year after the ending of the
war-than we were during the war
itself, our work is far from finished.
incidentally, this Home Service
work is only one branch of the ire
mendous Peace Time program which
the Red Cross has mapped out for
itself. The other departments are
fully as important to the welfare Of
every community in the Gulf states.
1t is for this reason that the Red
Cross is holding a third annual roll
call this year, November 2 to IL.
by the way, it may interest your
readers to know that the Gulf Divi-
sion, which includes Alabama, Louis
lana and Mississippi, is the only divi-
sion in the entire country in which
a Home Service Section has been e.
tablished for every single chapter.
There are 1,271 Home Service work
ers in the division, and they gave aid
and information to 1892 families
during August of his year, which
makes the total of families these
workers have helped up to date,
165,160.
"Of the $12,264.25 distributed dur
ing August in extending relief to the
families of soldiers and sailors in this
division, S4;110.92 was distributed in
Alabama, S5,68458 in Louisiana,
and S2.468.75 in Mississippi"

The Flood As 1t Struck New Augusta.

Perry County News. Dec. II, 1919.
The great overflow has reached
this section IN earnest. Many va
ried and interesting were the expe-
riences of New Augusta folks as well
as those of other places. On Thurs
day morning telegram sent to the
postmaster here warned the people
that the highest water on record was
on it's way and would reach here
soon. From that time on to late
that night many were busy with
getting of cattle, hogs etc out of the
wav of the floods and to places Of
safety. But they could not move
their houses and many of them we're
water soaSed. ln.some instances the
muddy water reaching considerable
depth in their rooms. Quite num-
Der of families found it necessary to
abandon their homes and take up
temporary abode at some neighbours
house. The water rose much higher
here than it has in many years, tho
it is said that in the spring Of 1900
it rose more than two feet higher
than at this time.
