HOME MANUFAcToRY.-Messrs Tucker Il Thurmond,
agents in this city for the Claiborne Manufacturing
Company, have presented us with bundle of cotton
yarn manufactured at Arizona, in Claiborne parish
We give it our opinion that it is equal if not supe-
rior to that of any other manufactory in the United
States. The quality of the cotton used is excellent
and the workmanship superior to anything have
seen. Adopts in the business agree with in the
above assertion This yarn will be furnished in Shreve-
port ut New Orleans quotations., which is at least a
saving of five per cent to the consumer Here is a
chance to patronise home industry, and at the same
time put money in your own pocket We hope we
have seen the last bale come up the river Country
merchants would do well make note of this Sam

CoTToS CRoP.-Tbe daily showers of the past Beel
have not added any to the prospect Of full cottor
CROP though the weed and fruit look as we'll as coulG
be desired. The great bug bear now is the worm, >
which has made its appearance in various portions oil
the parish. Various the opinions of different
planters, hardly any two of them agreeing Several
have worms; others have pot. Some are confident
they ruined others that they will make from half
to average crop, in spite Of the zorm 1t is very
difficult arrive at any definite conclusion at this
tme SO conflicting the reports and opinions of the
farmers. One thing is very evident, the is about
though very small in size at this time and not able to
do much damage in its present state. 1t will have to
go through its different changes before it reaches that
and strength which enables so eectuaIlv to de-
sroy the 7eed. This, trust will give the most of
the fruit time to ripen. The crop is at least three
weeks in advance of last year, and the worm that
much behind its appearance last season. making diff
ference of six weeks in favor of the cotton this year
over last Last year gentleman, cutvating on the
river below here brought into our Office or, the 18th
of July, stock of cotton literally ridded by the
worms. The gentleman was in our Office on
Monday last, and informed US that the worms had not
hurt him any yet, though they scattered through
his crop pretty plentifully He is one of the SAN
guine ones, and thinks he will make as much as he
can pick out. Our candid opinion is that the major
ity of the planters in this parish will do likewise if
they should have anything like favorable season
from this time forward.

| THE HOMER IL1AD OFFIcE.-We publish this week
communication from well known gentleman Of Ho
mer, giving true statement of the reported destruc
ton of Blackburn's Office from which it will be seer
that great deal of Radical capital has been manufac
tured out Of nothing. We recur to this subject more
particularly to make some extracts from a scalawas
letter in the New Orleans Republican, purperting tt
have been written at Homer The writer, who sign
himself "Unionist" in speaking Of the destruction o
| the Office, says: -7@
'sThis barbarous act was committed by persons un
known as was the murder of Meadows, and the othe
acts of violence that have been committed during thu
last few months within this and adjoining parishes
little further along in his letter, he appears t.
have forgotten what he had written above, and goe
back on himself;
''The whole community to blame for these acts
for it is known by the majority of them who are the
guilty These acts are not committed by person:
of low standing in society, but by the sons OF ou'
weahiest citizens, and the fathers look on with {
smile of approval"
OF course this little discrepancy is nothing for
Radical get over, who is intent siandering the
community in which he lives. Before penning him toe
close, let what more he has got to say
| "The otfense was committed about three o'clock
the press broken the type was removed from the
Office and scattered the Streets the marble upor
which the type was placed was shivered to atoms Ii
the accomplishment of this, they compelled tc
make noise enough to awaken the entire town. After
leaving the Office, ten twelve shots fired il
| rapid succession, but they were not molested.'
| Now let the reader turn to the communication in
another column where the facts of the cor,
rcctly stated and note how " Unonist" has falsifed
the matter The BALANCE of his letter is in keeping
with the above extracts. The people of Claiborne
are slandered without stint and the Radical State
thortss urged and mpored to protect the Unionists
with the strong Of the military. The letter is
tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end, and the
| author unmitigated scoundrel.
