natural causes. You will alwa rs get your
own cotton for it cannot be exchanged and
you run risk Of getting a light bale for

Middling Cot on. BY the of this check
you give your merchant a KEY no ALL
ERR ORS-they are discovered at and
rectifed be fore loss is snst aimed. 1t gives
your merchant voucher to correctness very
satisfactory TO him, and you will know who is
| to blame in case of losses 1t will relieve
him from blame for another mans mistake.

IT FOR YOU to corroborate his account sales
| and the steamboat clerk can point Your cotton

| same boat, nc one can have ANY NUMBER
LIKE YOUR S, as there nc two checks
alike.
This check is made OF brass-is about the
size Of a Mexican dollar. and is a complete
fastening or lock around the tie-it costs only
! 25 cents, and will last the planter, merchant or

all planters and cotton dealers who have seen
it..

THE STATE SEM1NARY.-Thed estruc-
ton by fire of the superb building
erected for the State Seminary, near
Alexandria, will be greatly regretted.
1t was one Of the handsomest bubble
structures in Louisiana, and was erect
ed at a cost Of $l5O,OOO. The gene
raj regret at its loss will be somewha.
assuaged if some more eligible loca-
ton for the Seminary shall be chosen
than was the old one. A dispatch re
ceived by the Editor from Col. Boyd,
brings the intelligence that tho Deaf
and Damb Asylum, at Baton Rouge,
has been secured by him, and that the
Seminary exercises will be resumed
on the first proximo, next Monday.
We predict that the future of the
Seminary will be far more brilliant
than its past. Without mistake, Su-
perintendent Boyd is Eye man.

LARGE PELICAN.-Mr.J John Went
cell, living miles below town, killed
pelican opposite his place On WedpeS
day, which proved to be one Of the
largest birds of which we have eyer
noticed any account. 1t measured
eight feet, lacking one inch, from tip
to tip of the wings. and carried a
harrersachr CORNING part of the MOUTH
which we judged would hold gallon
of water. It's feathers were pure
white, except that its wings were
tipped with black, and were very soft
and fne. 1t did not carry carpet
bag.

The RIVER $50 CALLED. When
a horseman gets in hurry and wants
TO cross the river he just puts spurs to
his horse and goes over without wetting
his saddle-skirts. The ferryman has
dispensed with oars, and uses poles to
propel his fiat from side to side.
Starting at the waters edge, one gets
to "blowing' audibly before he reaches
the top of the rivers bank. And yet,
somehow, the Economist, Lightwood
and Native SO up and down. bringing
freights up and carrying cotton down.
Where they "draw" water from is
mystery to us.-Cotton is shipped
through at 81 per bale, and dry barrels
up at 81 5O-just SO per cent. above
high water rates.

DELTA-It will be seen from our
advertising columns that OF the LIST day
of december there will be a public sale
of lots in the town of Delta. which
place is tho eastern terminus of the
N. L. & T. Railroad on the Mis- 7iss;ppi.
There is general belief that Delta is
destined to be large city some day.
ENGLISH WALNUTs-We are indebt
ed to Mr.. Robert Layton for few
English walnuts, the product Of tree
growing on Mrs. Bry's place. Mr..
L. states that this variety Of the wal
nut succeeds equally as we'll on the
Ouachita as the pecan, and bears quite
as soon, reckoning from the time OF
planting.

The steamer May Flower left New
Orleans last Saturday, and came az
high up as Columbia. The Econo mist
landed her freight here on Tuesday
night, returning with all the cotton she
wanted. The Lightwood went down
Thursday morning with a full load.
The staple, however. comes in rather
slowly.

GGA Planters on the river continue
to speak in aattering terms of their
crops, and especially Of their success
IN gathering cotton and it's excellent
quality. On the uplands the dronth
was more severely felt, and the yield

already selling at high figures in por-
tons of North Louisiana ives. OF
this, in consequence of the failure OF
the mast crop and the necessary result
Of having to feed killing hogs on corn.

HIGHWAY ROBERTA few nights
ago Mr.. W. L. Amonett crossed the
river at this place and proceeded along
the road on the opposite bank toward
Trenton. He had gone as far as the
residence OF Mrs. Slack when he met
other negro. The moon was shining
brightly which enabled him to see the
men distinctly. The negro, at the
point of meeting, stepped aside to make
room for Mr.. A. to pass, when heavy
blow from the white man felled Mr.. A.
to the ground, and almost at the same
instant a pisto! was fred at him hitting
him in the region Of the stomach. The
robbers quickly searched the person Of
Mr.. Amonett, taking from him watch
and a small amount Of money found in
his pocket, and then fed. Mr.. A.
finding himself able to travel, hurried
on to Trenton. He had the good for
tune to find that the bullet Of the as
sassin had just grazed his bowels, and
that the blow he had received was only
serious from its stunning effect. The
robbers were total strangers to him,
but 1t is likely they may be identified
from his description, as he saw them
quite plainly and is able to describe
them infinitely. 1t is thought the
original intention of the rascals was to
rob some other person, but were disap.
pointed some way, and meeting Mr.. A
made victim of him.

Of Mrs. Aliens old cehouse friends
had come TO take the last farewell OF their
old companion. Only five or Elk men
were TO be seen, all the rest were girls
and women. A large proportion OF the
mourners did not appear tn manifest much
grief for The loss OF al old friend. Some
of the men and women swore eGange
oahs, while others talked and laughed
as they had done so often on other occa-
sions. The "Wickedest Man" took
things coolly, and just before The corpse
was removed 10 went ont and got drink.
Many of the women walked up 10 the
