How Some Talk.

To reason, one must reflect and
weigh well his words. Conversing
with friend the other evening, he
asked us how we Were getting along,
and Went on to say, that many lcok
upon our undertaking, as n thing
shortlived, that is, similar to many
erz,cyi,aents, which were started here,
and did not succeed that many
would assist us, who are now holding
back, for fear we will not succeed.
This is poor argument. The reason
Of failures is, the lack of patronage,
people should not entertain such
views, if they desire the prosperity OF
any thing. To our citizens who
| think thus, we can assure them that
any patronage extended to us will be
thankfully received; they need not
fear losing anything through us, for
we are fully capable of doing what
ever we say, and carrying out any
project that is undertaken by us, as We
hope to prove. What are they to
lose, we ask :? Nothing. Advert
sers do not pay for advertising until
at the expiration of the time the ad.
vertisement is inserted for. Sub

doubts regarding the success Of ou
undertaking. Job work is delivered

Not to be Disputed.

We had made preparations to put
in ina a bid bid fea:+l cit J. printing Of ShreXe-
port, and were anxiously awaiting no
tification in some way, to enable us
to do so, but it would appear in this
we were to be disappointed. We Ia
bored under the impression, that tins
contract, as all others, was given to
the lowest bidder, that the Board made
it public either through the paperst
published here, or by sending notlfn-
cation to that effect to each and every
Office in the place. The contract has
been giveno ont, we understands II sueh'
be the case, unless we are greatly mis-.
taken, the proceeding is illegal. It's.
supposed that all public work must
be bid for; that the Board give no
tice that they are ready to receive
proposals, etc, and that to the low
est bidder is allotted the task of per-
forming SUCH Coiiil0St.
We do not wish to find fault with the
doings of our worthy Board "t lrus-
tees, but must say, that in our opln-
ion, the News Office has been treated
very shabbily. We expect from the
town authorities, as well as from the
nrivate citizens, all the encouragement
and assistance that lays in their
power
The Board may be compared to a
guardian over child; it is their duty
to guard and protect the interests OF
our city, and to do this, they must get
as much funds in the city treasury as
they can, and pay out as little as pos
sible.
Our informant may be mistaken,
and we think he is, when he tells us
that there mas a disposition on the
part of the Board, to give us the print
ing, Lm they did not know our politi-
cal creed. This must be mistake
for we strongly believe that at the
present time, there does not exist
amongst us such a thing as political
party. All Of us now, profess to be-
and if any do not they should-what
just what we advocate, as every
man knows who has made ita busi.
ness toread the columns Of the A.c1rs-
in, body and soul, for Southern rights
bevoud this we know of no bone fidt
party, and have yet to learn Of ths
existence of such. If the Board hay,
not given out the contract, we Will bt
pleased to put i'll our bid.

in candor, gentlemen, what do you

in candor, gentlemen, what do you
fear? There is not an advertise
ment in our paper, for which we have
asked pay, nor do we intend so doing
until the money is due. Let us hear
no more of this, when we desire the
assistance of any one, we do not ask
for their money, but for their patron.
age. We have good list of City
subscribers in Shreveport, who have
taken our paper by the year; our
advertised terms are, an 0acance, yet,
not one of our subscribers, can say
that we have rendered our bill with

bill" Bear this in mind, fellow citi-
zens, and if you really wish us sue
cess, do the right thing. We intend
publishing our paper, for we can do
it, but if the people of Shreveport,
do not want such thing, let them
tell us so and we will be much oblig-
ed to them.
As we stated in eul first number,
we are no experimentalist, and we
here repeat it. However, we are
above forcing our paper upon any
community, that would rather dis
pense with it. If the majority do
not want daily paper published in
the city of Shreveport, by the pre-
sent undertaken, let them out with
the truth, the sooner, the better; il
they want it, they shall have it, des.
despite all opposition and obstacles
that are being thrown in our way
We have succeeded in making ar.
ranSements to receive the latest in

der than we have liking for, still
we will continue doing so. In thi:
