u b~ It khas come, to our knowl
edge that, 2 scheme has been set or
foot to cut eh:a large portion OF
the bayou BoeuR valley from the
parish of Rapides ftm the purpose
of forming another parish. This
is of course DONE like similar
schemes all over the State, for the
purpose Of creating a batch, Of off,
ees for hungry Radical aspirants.
The fact that the Radicals have
enlisted insthef scheme a few who
claim to be, democrats does not re
deem it from the iinfamy which
should attach to it.ii The people of
Rapides' are totally opposed to any
further mutilation f'the territory
Of the parish for any such purpose,
and viii hold to a strict accounta-
bility all who are parties to this
new outrage on their rights. ~

planters and others to the adyer-
tisement of T. K. Phoenix, Bloom

at reasonable prices. plants. trees,
seeds etc, His nursery is one of
the oldest and most extensive in
the country, and his assortment
comprises all varieties desirable, for

be remembered that Radical chap,
calling himself William Francis Nc
Lean, started and published only t,eo
numbers Of six by ten newspaper, in
our Town, some time last year. This
sheet was called the 'sRapides Til
bune," and published by authority the
Laws of Louisiana and all Judicial ad-
vertisements of Rapides Parish. As
we said two numbers only were ever
published, then the concern went up
the spout. We now See by the official
Journal of the State, that said Mclean
was duly allowed the snug little sum
of four thousand four Hundred and efgh-
teen dollars for publishing these two
numbers of his Radical sheet. This is
o fair specimen Of how the poor State
is robbed, and how these Radical add
venturers and thieves are made to
prosper at the expense Of d down -trod-
den and over taxed people. VIII the

III 49, We have again to harp on
our everlasting weekly theme, the
weather. The past week has been
some improvement on the last eight
weeks. The'ssuno has deigned to
peep out and shine two full days
in the last seven. But certainly,
SO far, the season has beenan awful
bad one, for the planting interest
and the whole human family.
Some stray blowing and breaking
up of mother earth has been going
on in some localities in our Parish,
but, as yet, no coed, II steady work
has been done. However most Of
our planters have completed con-
tracts for their labor and are ready
to begin. Many are yet in want
of labor and fear they cannot pro-
cure 1.-THE sugar plantations are
particularly short Of labor a""lh
