Such is the invitation that our
rich lands, magnificent rivers and
streams, inexhaustable resources,
and warm-hearted people extend
to the Industrious, the frugal and
honest Of all countries, climes and
nationalities. The invitation, we
fear, will not be needed until our
unfortunate political complica-
tions are settled. God speed the
day when this may be done, and
harmony and kind feeling re-es-
tablish those relations by which
alone prosperity will dawn upon
us. Our duty is to ourselves and
those dependent on us. Immense
bodies of land are uncultivated.
Offer them for sale in small tracts
and cease to try to cultivate the
immense area, so profitable before
the war. The little cultivated save
and enrich, and make more profit
able and attractive. There is no
trouble about making something
to live on and grow rich ON in
Louisiana, if a people so about it
right. Every young man who
loafs about the streets of cities
and villages can, by his own work,
raise enough to supply one or two
families. Is it not better by fan
to do this and benefit himself and
neighbors than to lounge about
the year around doing nothing
Very true, young men in many in
: stances before the war, didn't have
to work. Let them show that they
