MEMPHIS IS MENACED.
Mississippi May Cut a New Chane
for Itself.
BIG FLOOD ON THE RIVER.

City May be Left High and Dry,
Storms Throughout the West.
The Mississippi river t Memphis,
ibursday night, registered 84.8 feet
ilia danger line is 83 feet, and it is
thought that the water above will run
the river to 80 or 30 1-S feot, which will,
bo experienced river men say, overflow
Arkansas as far as Crowley's Ridge,
forty wiles from Memphis. The most
eerious feature of the present size of the
river is the possibility of it outting out
b new uea lor itself through Crittetlen
county, Ark., and leaving Memphis
high and dry, or at leant leaving her on
a shallow lake. Should this happen the
JW,OXH,Ot)0 bridge which stands across
the Mississippi will end at the new
Eastern bank of the river. About five
miles above Memphis the Neely plan
tation is partly overflowed beeause of a
break in the levee. The current through
the plantation is very strong and rivei
mon say that unless the heavy timber
along l'onr .Mile Jiayou breaks the cur
rent, so that it cannot eat out a new
bed for the river, that the Mississippi
will change its course and run through

which ordinarily is three miles inland.
All along the route to Marron sub-
merged houses can be seen and some

returned from Klmberley, South Africa,
to a Philadelphia correspondent, "and
millions of cut and uncut stones are

the diamond companies, which, if put
on the market to-day, would flood the
world with previous stones that would
soon cease to be precious.

Carlylo and Mltlaia.
One day Thomas Carlyle went with
Mlllala to look at the latter' house,
and, after gaslng with wonder at all iu
splendors, he turned to MUlal and
asked, tn bit brusque manner: "Has
paint done ell tfcle, Mr. Mi;'rflr The
painter laugiied. and replied: "It has."
"Then," rejoined tbe dweller of the
modest bouse at Cheleea, "all I bave
to say ia that there are more fools In
the world than I thought there were."
Nothing oonld be fairer, more phi-
lantbropio or carry more joy to the af-
flioted. than tbe offer of T. A. Blooum,
U. O., of New York City.
Confident that he has discovered a
reliable cure for oonsnmptioo and all
bronchial, throat and lung diseases,
general decline and weakness, loss of
flesh and all conditions of wasting, and
to make its great menu known, he will
send free, three bottle to any reader
of the Elkin Times who may be suffering.
Already this "new scientino course
of medicine" has permaooutly cured
thousand, of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty a duty wbieh he owes to human
ityto donate his infallible cure.
a has proved tbe dreaded con
sumption to be a curable dineasa be
yond any doubt, and ha on file in hi
American and European laboratories
testimonials of experience from those
benefited and cared in all parts of the
world.
Don't delay until it is too late. Con
sumption, uninterrupted, meinsspeedy
and certain death. Address T. A 81o

Try It TonrelC
A very curious fact la the Impossi
bility of moving your eye while exam
ining tbe reflection of that organ tn n
mirror. It Is really the most movable
part of the face; yet. If you hold your
bead fixed and try to move your eye
while watching It, yon cannot do It-
even tbe one-tnouaanatn oi an men.
Of course, If you look at the reflection
of the noec, or any other part of the
face, your eye must move to see It
Tut the atrange thing Is that tbe mo
ment yon endeavor to perceive the mo
tion tbe eye U fixed. Tble Is one of tbe
reasons why a person's expression ns
seen by himself In a glass I quite dif
ferent from what It Is when een by
other.
