The Colcosieu Echo, published at Lake
Charles, compliments that locality:
We venture to say without fear Of CON
tradiction, there is no portion of the South
which can boast of a healthier location than
the town of Lake Charles, Parish of Cal
caSleu, Louisiana. Our lands are not as
fertile as some Of the adjoining parishes,
but they are productive enough and would
yield all kinds of grain by proper cultiva-
ton; and every farmer who has any energy,
VINO can not make good livelihood in this
portion OF the State must be a very planter
indeed. In word, we consider this tbe
greatest poor mans country which the sun
ever shone upon, and the time is not far dis
tant when every nook and corner will be
filled up with a thrifty and industrious
population.

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-As remarked by
one Of our citizens the other day, we
are now having splendid wheeling and
good nice winter weather."
The schools of the town have all COM
menced, and thus far are progressing
finely. Teachers as follows: District
No. 1, Mr.. Charles Easton, Nc. 2, Mr..
Eugene Haskins, No. 8, Mr.. Harlem
Woodford, Nc. 4, Miss - Creighton, No.
8, Mr.. E. B. Wildman, No. 6, Miss Sarah
Smith, and No. Z, Miss Anna Button.
Nearly every school is being taught this
winter with youg teachers.
Twice within a few days, OUT town
has been alarmed with the cry of fire.
Last week, Tuesday, the dwelling house
occupied by C. a. Brigdon, was dis
covered to be on fire. The smoke and
flames were working ont through roof
around the chimney pretty lively when
it was discovered, but by the timely
aid Of a score or more OF the "bucket
brigade the flames were subdued before
much damage was done and the build
ing saved, and wei! was it that it was
saved, for had it burned, undoubtedly
the churches would have been consumed
too, for they all stand near.
Night before last, late in the evening,
a shout of fire was heard from the honse
of Capt. A. Lyman. The of this
alarm was occasioned by the bursting OF
a kerosene lamp that stood on the mantle
over the fireplace. The oil ran down
behind the wall, between that and the
chimney, and took fire from the fire in
the Fireplace. 1t was o extinguished
and no serious damage done except a
''pretty big scare" a.
