OUR NAHE.-"Why do you call your paper
. whom the sugar planting interest is dead for
ever in this State." Our answer is very plain,
and we hope conclusive. Every paper necessari-
" suppressed during the war has revived under
the old name, and ws see no reason why this
one should be resuscitased underany other title
than the original one. II will show the world, at
least, that there is one Sugar Planter in West
Baton Rouge, in name II not in occupation. Be-
sides g what's in a name" 1t will do as well
