CeMpL1MENT.--We take the following
complimentary notice from "zAe Weekly
EcAo," published at Lake Charles, Calca-
sieu, and always a welcome guest at our
office. We appreciate the favorable notice
the more highly, because it is from a dis.
interested and candid source. We trust
the day is not far distant, when Lake
Charles and Calcasieu will have so increased
in population, as to justify our neighbor
of the Echo in charging that journal:
We now get the Opelousas JOURNAL
regularly, that We appreciate very highly,
and consider it an invaluable exchange, and
one of the best papers in the South. 1t has
lately been fitted out, and is now one of
the best printed and most interesting papers
we have. We recommend the Journal to
our friends and the community as a good
and reliable paper.
