soldiers who lost their lives in and
around Vicksburg during the Civil war.
Leaving Vicksburg we drove directly
east to Jackson. the capital of Missis-
sippi. To reach it we passed through
a district much different from the delta
country. The level lowland of the delta
gave way to rolling and clothed
hills. Jackson is beautiful little city,
with handsome. modern homes, we'll
kept streets and public buildings. a
city that leaves decidedly favorable
impression on one passing through.
Leaving Jackson about noon, we turned
directly south, passing through a pleas
ant land all the way to New Orleans,
which we reached that evening. A few
miles out from New Orleans we were
driving through swamp-like district
dense trees and heavy foliage on all
sides. A small stream paralleled The
highway for number of miles, and
it was there we saw one of the most
beautiful flower displays of the trip.
Suddenly this stream was covered
from bank to bank with solid mass
OF green foliage SO dense that the

up from this green mass were thous-
ands Of blossoms, light lavender in
color, shaped like tiny Christmas trees,
the beautiful water hyacinth. We passed
patches Of these for miles and later saw
them in many places throughout The
South.
We found that the Southern farmer
is sometimes provoked by the trespass-
er just as is his Northern brother. And
he also uses signs to keep unwelcome
guests off his premises. At least we
reached that conclusion when we saw
a sign posted by the highway and
reading:
No Trespassing
No Hunting
No Fishing
No Foolin'
No Nothing
We reached New Orleans early that

spent there we found it a beautiful city,

of approximately 17,500,0O0 pounds Of
