During the coming week legal pro-
ceedings will be instituted against
the persons whose names appear upon
the delinquent lists for State taxes,
and besides the penalty imposed by
law, those proceeded against will he
compelled to pay the costs of suit.
It would be great advantage to
delinquents to come forward at once
and settle their back taxes, in order
to avoid the additional expense en-
tailed by judicial proceedings. The
Tax Collector and District Attorney
have deferred suit as long as they
can possibly do SO, and this warning
will be the last we shall have OPP
portunity Of giving delinquents.

WEATHER AND CROrs.-The wealth
er this week has been very favorable
for the cane crop. Sufficient rain has
fallen, and the growing staple has
received a new impetus, that will add
to the encouraging prospect FORE
Swallowed in our article Of last week.
Since last issue VIC have been in
formed that perhaps the very best
crop of cane in the parish is that upon
the Hermitage plantation, belonging
to Mcssrs. NJ. ID. Bringier Il Co. It
is splcndidly cultivated and makes a
very fine showing.
There is a tirst-rate crop upon Mr..
John A. Stevenson's plantation also,
and good yield of sugar is expected.
