One Of our produce dealers suggests
that the people should prepare in time
to take care Of tho present fruit crop,
and that If they will do this it will
bring into the county more money than
the entire surplus of wheat, large as
the latter bids fair TO be. Peaches and
apples may be dried either in kiln or on
the scaflold in the sun. The latter, how
over, arc more valuable. There will
DO demand for all that can be saved.
Apples must not be too ripe, and should
be nicely peeled and cut in very thin,
uniform pieces through the whole np-
pie to make the slices as largeas possible.
Peaches are worth from forty TO fifty
per cent. more IL cut in regular halves
and not mixed with small pieces.
Should small, irregular pieces be found
in tho lot when dried, take them out be.
fore selling. TO obtain The best prices
fruit must be very bright, and, whether
by sun or kiln, the quicker dried the
better.
Dried dew and blackborries arc very
saloablc and amply pay'for saving. IL
may not be amiss TO give the present
eastern market prices, though they may
not be so high next season: Fancy

which some friend has aptly remarked

comes in when We read tho decision

Senator Allen Greene produced the
parish of Lincoln at the last meeting
Of the Legislature. The parish was
made up Of odds and ends from all
the neighboring parishes, and was, it
was thought, Radical.
Since the Inauguration Of the par
ish by Col. Greene, the Greene's have
been sorely treated there. They have
been totally ignored. The generous
action of Col. Greene was not appre-
GATED and rewarded by his consti-
tucnts Of the parish; indeed, other
persons have held all tho offices and
left the Greene's entirely in the cold.
The family has been without offices,
rs the following will show:
Col. Allen green, Senator, also hold
ing several other small Offices.
W. l.. Greene, Tax Collector.
ca. Greene, Parish Judge.
c. Greene, ex.RepreseMtati>e. Would
like to be so again.
j. A. Greene, supervisor Of regis
tratjon and map maker for the parish.
A few other Greenes hold small posi-
tons. The Police Jury were appoint
ed by the Governor ut the request Of
the GreeDe's.
1t will thus be seen that the Greene
family had some little influence in
Lincoln parish, yet not as much as
their services deserved. 1t was against
this family combination that the PEG
pie of Lincoln rose some months be-
fore the election, demanding that tho
Greene's should do their duty, as the
law provided, OF resign.
This was the 0ffense for which the
Lincoln arrests were made. This the
crime for which, Seelye with his troops
sconred over the country with arrests
for two hundred citizens. They had
disturbed the 1,1et and unobstructive

Our neighbors who do not take the
papers, have been taken in by some
Chicago swindlers, who advertise to
sell 6 pounds Of prime Rio coffee for
one dollar, ten yards of good alpaca
for one dollar, and all other goods in
proportion. How can people with
any intelligence, be so foolish as to
expect to get five dollars worth OF
goods for one dollar. When will peo-
pie learn to buy their goods Of legiti-
mate dealers, instead Of going around
to hunt up some scamp who will cheat
them out OF their eye teeth.
