Col. bennett, of the Planters Banner. intends
shortly to make trip to the West and North
taking with him maps of such plantations in St.
Marys parish as the owners wish to sell. He will
also visit emigration and labor houses in order to
see what may be done to turn immigration and
labor towards that portion of Louisiana, Col.
bennett also intends to visit his editorial brethren
IN the North and West, and to write articles set.
