The increase in in population has been 215 per cent, during the past year and a half, and everybody’s prospering, too.” Stranger: “Indeed! Yet I don’t see any shops or factories around, and it doesn’t seem to be much of a railroad centre, either. What industry do you depend upon par ticularly? Farming?” Native: “No; we haven’t any shops or factories; we’re not on any main line of railroad, and the country in this immediate vicinity is’nt very productive; but I’ll tell you what we have got.

Memphis, Teuu., March 11.— Mississippi River registers »>4 2 teet to-night and the rise bas lie- come more rapid since yesterday. The danger line is .‘»S feet, and it is thought that the water above will run the river to 36 or 06 1-2 feet, which will, so experienced river men say, overflow Arkansas as far as Crowley's Bridge, 40 miles from Memphis. The most serious feature of the present size of the river is the possibility of it cutting out a new bed for itself through Crittenden County. Ark , and leaving Memphis high and dry, or at least leaving her ou a shallow lake. Should this happen the $3,000,000 bridge which stands across the Mississippi will end at the new Eastern bank of the river. About five miles above Memphis the Neely plantation is partly over flowed because of a break in the levee. The current through the plantation is very strong and rivet- men say that unless the heavy timber along Four Miles Bayou breaks the current, so that it can not eat out a uew bed for the riv er, that the Mississippi will change its course and run through Four Mile Bayou, coming into the main river again about eight or ten miles below and leaving a long narrow island between Memphis and the river. The high Raters have already reached a yerv, criti cal ) stage. Tte ferry sjteaffier Brvan uow makes jlaily trips to Marron, Ark., which ordinary is three miles inland. AH along the route to Marrou submerged houses can be seen aud some stock has beeu drowned. There has been a rise of seven-tenths of a foot since yesterday morning, the height at this point now being 42.3 feet, which is 4.7 feet above the danger line. At Vicksburg the water stauds at 38.4 feet, a rise of five- tenths of a foot within the past. twenty four hours. The danger line at this point is 41 feet. DISPENSARY PROFITS. Bokrd of Control Wll Beiflu to 1'ay Money Into the Treaanry. Beginning with the first of next month the State board of control hopes to pay into the State treas ury from $10,000 to $15,000 month ly. This is to go to the general fund for government expenses. It was not long ago that the dispen sary paid in installments of $25,- 000 the $100,000, leaving still to pay $92,000 to the general fund before any of the dispensary pro fits would go to the school fund. This, then, is but a beginning of the payment of the amount still due. At the rate of $15,000 a month little over six mouths will b» re quired to cancel the obligation to the State treasury. The profits then it may be said, will begin to go the school fund in October. In other words, in the fourth year and the second mouth since the establishment of the dispensary the State will have received $192,- 00D or $48,000 per annum —The State. Advertising pays.
