Reports Of the damage by the fIooo
of last Monday continues to come in
though half of losses sustained will
never be known in figures.
Chess Wymond Co. are said to have
lost $4,000 worth of slaves which
were cut on the Guthrie & Drake
Greenwood plantation.
The Person Estate lost a half car
of lumber which had been hauled to
Hermanville for shipment. 1t is hop-
ed that some of this may yet be saved.
Many reports have been had of
damage te residences by flooding, es-
Inmates ranging from $25 to $3.50.
The east bank of James creek
sloughed badly near the bridge, carry
ing away half of the road bed. The
sloughing reached to half way of the
east approach to the bridge rendering
it useless. 1t viii be necessary to re-
move the bridge to another site.
The dumps at each end of the Two
Mile bridge over Bayou Pierre were
washed away. The bridge over Ken
nison creek at the McGilvary place
and the one over the same creek be-
tween Willows and Hanl1inson were
both destroyed by the water. Guns
bayou BRIDGE near Willows was wreck
ed the bridge between M. j. Spen-
cer's and F S. Walcott's places was
washed away. and the Dead Horse
bri'wn near the Port Gibson Oil
Works seems to have been DESTROYED.
as Was also small bridge near Rus
sum and one near Tillman. Tons of
drift is piled against other bridges.
Especially is this true of the Barnes
creek bridge, where whole trees, one
Irotrudin~ through the upper frame
work, are banked against the bridges.
The damage to the roads an
bridges of the county is variously es-
timated to be from $4,000 to $4,000.
As reports continue to come in we are
inclined to think that the last named
figures will come nearer being correct.

than 27,OO0 had been received from
distant points up to noon, some com
ing from as far away as California,
while the fund from within the STATE
IS growing rapidly. Still the amount
IS Tar short of the sumt that will be
needed before work will have been
finished. 1t is conservatively estimated
that not less than S150,00O will have
70 be donated to meet the relief calls
from the points closest to Meridian,
this city having been made the base
from which most of the work ie be-

Government and Red Cross supplies

COUNTY AGENT SELECTED
COMES FROM HOLMES

The county agent selected for Clai-
borne is Assistant Agent Kirby of
Holmes county.
It will be remembered that at q
recent meeting of the board of SUI
pervisors $24OO was appropriated for
this purpose, the board reserving the
right to reject any agent sent by the
department who did not satisfy.
Mr.. Kirby comes from the county
which has probably made more en-
vlable reputation alonp the line of
cooperative shipping than any other,
and in this respect at least he should
be admirably qualified to fill the po-
sition in Claiborne.

Dear Cynthia have noticed with

by "Disgustcd With Boys" and would

either by going to show or party. and
I want to congratulate her for her good

Please Tell Me
What to Do
"Blowlno" Writes Aoain
BY CYNTHIA

Dear Cynthia--A further expression
OF my views brought about by certain
OF "Paurs' remarks in Thursday s
column, April 10:
II was the spirit Of conquest that
led kings and empcrors to seek battle
with other sovprcigns respected as foes
III conflict, but disdained and treated
as vassal slaves when conquered. 1t Is
the gambling spirit that leads the gam
bier to play. And having won, the splcn-
dor of his spoils begins to wane. for the
feeling of ownership causes the lack
of interest.
II il the same spirit of desire of the
unattainablc that leads the man to lay
siege to the woman's heart, and,
having gained her confidence, he loses
interest his regard for her is not the
same. The first attempt ending in vain
only makes him more resolute in an or :
fort 10 break down her barriers. with
several occurrences Of kissing, after she
has succumbcd to his wlcs he loses in :
tcrcst in her. and let me say that 1t is
the girl who keeps the man where he
belongs. lets him not be too free with
her. who is the more respected.
aud except whore one is engaged. and
even then under those circumstances
she should use discretion.
In conclusion. | will say that after
Young man leaves the home of young
lady for the evening without having
kissed her after he has tried to, he
will have a better opinion of her and
those who have been through the mill
will back my statements.
