As in the desert an oasis is occasionally found
To cheer the weary traveller; SO in the midst OF
the almost chaotic confusion which has prevailed
10 what is strictly called, the military admins
traton," it is gratifying to note the course of an
officer who has performed his duty well. Ever
since he came here, we have watched the course
of the Enrolling officer Of this Parish, Capt. J.
NJ. Taylor, Of Marshall, Texas, who has been I'M
firing in the discharge of his responsible duties
He is quite young man; he came among us a
perfect stranger, and by his attention to his
business, his patience, his impartia'ity, his firm
ness, and his thorough understanding of the law
he is called to execute, he has won tbs. respect
and esteem of all and the friendship ofFs.sany.
We have been fortunate indeed, in having such
man assigned to us; we wish we had many
officers like Capt. Taylor, in this Department,
toi we would then be certain that the laws would
be SO administered to give general satisfaction
to our people. We would like to publish his
name throughout the State, as All example wor-
thy of imitation, but must content ourselves
with paying our small tribute of regard to modest
and unassuming, but real merit.
