It has been a month today since we
have had any rain. Every thing has
been holding up wonderfully well, but
it beginning to show the effects of
the dry weather now. On account of
the continued wet weather in the
early Spring and cold weather in APP
ril we failed to get our gardens plant
ed early, and just as the seed began
to come up dry weather commenced,
so we haven't had any vegetables
and won't have unless it rains soon
There were good indications of rain
today, but we failed to get any.

Territory, or all the land draii d by
the Mississippi and its tributaries. Il
is however with a later French ex.
pedtion that we are more din actly
concernea in this article. In 1893
Iberyill, led French explorers to the
delta Of the Mississippi River Bien-
vile was associated with him, and
later became Governor of this colony
planted in the South. This period, is
OF curse, directly connected with the
History of Mississippi. During this
rule we have the settlement Of Biloxi,
Natchez, and other places in our state.
Meantime, in leading up to our point
of local interest, in this period, we
must consider The relation Of The
French to the Indians Naturally as
source of profit, and also foreseeing
3 he did future struggle with the
English, lberville sought extensive
trade with the Indians 1t is in this
connection that our point of local in
terest comes in. The "old cedar log
fort surrounded by entrenchments" at
Plymouth, five miles above Gblum-
bus on the Tombigbee River. Mr.. B.
H. Halbert thought there was proof
conclusive that this fort is none other
than the one mentioned BY Thcrville.
At council meeting held with the
Indians in Mobile on Marc 6. 702,
the French Commander -u to
erect 4 trading post betw err
ritorv Of the Chicassws g.. laws,
and ter speaks of the fort as having
been erected. Mr.. Halbert said, "This
fort which Iberville established can be
none other than the fort at Ply
mouth"
As the time passes, there are more
authentic records, connecting the his
tory OF or locality with National
History. The expedition Of Bernard
Romans, 1771-1772, through ,'-o cerly
Southwest, is directly connecte it'll
these parts. Romans was Dutch in
Nationality snd was a soldier of for

travelled but one hour and twenty
minutes when the severity of the wea-
Their obliges us bgain to encamp,

camp was on a piece of fine, rich,

During our stay here the water
gained nearly four feet in height. In

seven islands or rapids, we were at
the mouth of the River Oca Tibehaw.
The lower road between the Choctaws
and Chicasaws crossed the river
about two miles above this, and hav-
ing passed an island, we saw a very
remarkable bluff on the west side, ris-
ing about fifty feet out Of the present
level Of the water. This is nearly a
mile and half long. The bluff is
covered principally with juniper, ced-
ar, shrubs, and in it are two Of three
gullies, in which as many springs
come trickling down for about two
thirds Of its length A bank projects
out al its foot, having q flat and very
even surface, without any plants Ga
little grass excepted growing there
on. This surface projects about nine
or ten feet from the bluff INTO the
river, and was about eight feet above
the level of the water. 1t looks as If
