A short telegram clipped from the
Memphis Avalanche, dated Helena Ark,
February 3, 1861, signed by C. P. King
and directed to Messrs. Galloway &
Clusky, no doubt Of Memphis, reads:
The Yell Rifles and the Phillips
Guard, siXty-five in number, left on the
N0trebe to take the arsenal at Little
Rock"

that 1900 men are already organized

time that DeSotO was also in the dis,

not related to the family of that name
now residing in Shreveport. so the
writer is told. He was among the early
settlers at Bellevue, but removed to

War. selling his home place to Mr.. J. L..
Biggs. father of Mr. L. c. Biggs and
Miss Ann Biggs, still living in Belle

as the Biggs home. Judge Looney, so
our informant thinks, was defeated for
the Office he sought by Judge Roland
Jones' of Shreveport.
Just sixty years ago the late editor
and owner of the Banner was in Baton
Rouge, where he had then been for
some weeks, remaining for two months,
or longer, it seems-as we learn from
the, files of his paper. His primary OBJ
jecf in going to the capital was to see
Louisiana go out of the Union, but we
do not mean to infer that he attended
the Secession Convention as a delegate
from the parish. Under date of January
2S, 1861, he wrote from Baton Rouge.

Since our departure nothing Of

Help the Blind Child.

Have YOU not often pitied the blind
child in your neighborhood and longed
for chance to help him?
The Louisiana State School for the
Blind can help every blind boy and
girl in the state by supplying good
education which will enable him to be-
come Il useful, self-respecting citizen,
capable of becoming partially or wholly
self-supporting. The blind child who
is allowed to grow up in ignorance and
helplessness will sooner or later be-
come burden on the parish in which
he lives We all appreciate that every
seeing child should have an education
in order to get on in the world: let us
not forget that the blind child is in
even greater need of instruction. for he
must fight the worlds battles with four
senses instead of five. In order that no
sightless child may be neglected, we are
asking citizens of the state to send the
names and addresses of all blind and
partially blind children to J. j. Murphy,
superintendent of the Louisiana State
School for the Blind, Baton Rouge.
This school boards and instructs
mentally sound blind children during
a term of eight months each year.
1t maintains primary and high school
departments, and, in addition. gives
special courses in industrial work and
music. Good food and daily physical
culture are provided. The grounds are
extensive and afford splendid opportu-
mites for outdoor life. There are no
charges of any kind. the school being
supported entirely by the State. The
management of the school will greatly
appreciate any information concerning
any blind child who is not now receiv-
ing the advantage of IL free education.

superintendent Louisiana State
School for the Blind.

 Stadium Ball Park

New York, February 5.-Pur- chase of n site for the home and playing grounds of the New York American baseball club on which will be erected S2,00O, 900 stadium to seat 7JyO00 fans, was announced today by Col. Jacob Ruppert and Y. l.. Huston, owners of the club.
 The fnot of ground, cAvering 10 acres, and located just across the Harlem river from the Polo Grounds, the home of the National league club, wns purchased from the William Waldorf Astor e~- state. Although located in the Bronx, quite distance from the business center of the city, the stadium will be easily accessible through virtually all rapid transit arteries of the greater city. The official name of the park has not yet been decided upon.
 Plans, drawn up by a firm of architects in Cleveland, O., call for stadium similar in design to the Yale bowl at New Haven. The building at ftrst, however, will not carry out the plans completely. Colonel Ruppert said. The club in- tends to build on only three sides of Inc home plnte. This structure and bienchcrs will provide a ca pacfty of JJ,OOO.
 The closing of one street is re- quired to complete the plans, but as all the adjacent property is owned by the Ast0r estate. 1t is be- Heved that no objections will be made.

COTTON STATES LEAGUE MAY BE ENLARGED INTO AN EIGHT-CLUB CIRCUIT.

Meridian, Miss, February 5.-(Special) ) The Cotton States league. permanently organized at meeting held here We'd nesday, with a six-town circuit practi- callv assured to make the season, may yet be enlarged to embrace eight towns, Clarksdale and Alexandria insisting on being given berths, while word comes from vicksburg and Monroe that efforts wilt be made by them to get in. which makes it practically certain that eight towns can now be secured if schedule can be drafted that can take care of some pretty wide jumps. The question of enlarging the league will be left to the board of directors as soon as that body is called together for meeting One man from each of the present six towns comprising the league are to com pose the board. The towns are Meridian, Montgomery. Pensacola, Jackson and Selma. the latter town sending word that the necessary funds are being made up to secure entrance. The board of trade andi cotton exchange here has pledged itself to finance the local team, but it is thought the Pensacola plan or forming a stock company of 200 shares at $50 each may be also adopted here as a better means of creating greater interest.

Hanlon-Kennedy Scrap Should Be a Thriller From Start
 to Finish

With two star bouts billed for tomor- Tow night, the Athletic club is offering Birmingham fans one of tine best fight cards ever staged in Birmingham, when Eddie Hanlon veteran ringman of Bir- mmgham and Atlanta, will attempt q comeback in Hereunder with Sailor Kennedy, better known in navy fighting circles than out
 Freddie Boorde meets Tommy McGinty in the semifinals on tine same night and rattling good scrap between the tive Irshmen should result. Irlshmen is not said in irony, either. for both lads bear the mark of Old Erin on their faces as plain as the ink on the pages of q mod ern love letter.)
 Eddie Hanlon has been working out at the $. A. c. in anticipation of q bout here, and when it was announced that he would neA Kennedy tomorrow night, he was already in trim for the battle. However, he has not let up on his train ing. but has been finishing off training properly and now is fit for any struggle.
 Like all navy men, Sailor" Kennedy is always in trim for a fight. He is III good physical condition and should be able to stand up under many rounds of hammering, although he is not ex- pecting to do all the receiving in this department.
 HANLON CAN HIT
 Eddie Hanlon can hit; that is a gener- ally admitted fact. When he lands solid blow on his opponents countenance something is liable to drop, usually his opponent-at least this is the way it was in the old days when Hanlon was in his prime. As far as appearances go, Eddie is still in his prime, but whether the old fighting qualities are still there. or not will be demonstrated tomorrow night.
 Hanlan is also a fast man on his feet. He will need all his shiftiness and foot work if he intends to avoid the rushing, slugging Kennedy for the navy battler Is of the aggressive sort of scrapper, who tries to drop his man as soon as pos sible. It will be an exciting scrap, probably not as scientific as some Of those staged at the E. A. C. in the past, but every lit as interesting. It would not be at all if the affair results in knock | out for either onep of the two battlers, for both possess the punch necessary to | send bis opponent into dreamland. :,
