THE Cotton Gin season is again
coming around, and to meet the wants
of the cotton planters, John A. Will
liams, Agent of Pratt's Improved
Cotton Gin, and of the patented "Re-
volving Head Cotton Gin, offers
them at present to the market
Planters can be accommodated with
either priced Gin at 81 or $3.50 per
saw; but we would remark from reli-
able information that the last patent
of Pratt's is specially worthy of con-
sideration, and that the fifty cents
extra per saw is mere consideration
considering the increased advantages
and improvements derived from it
A call on the Agent here will prove
of satisfaction and benefit to all in
need of Cotton Gins.

-FERGUsoN & ScHNAcK, whose
status and reputation are as well
known as the famed firm of Hyde &
Goodrich of old, seem to strive to
convince the purchasing public of
that fact, more and more, every day.
Aside from a model Jewelry estab-
lishment and fancy notions by the
hundreds, they make Sewing Ma
chimes pet and speciality. We
are thus reminded of all this, by the
fact that they have just received a
new and large invoice Of the celebra-
ted Wilson's Sewing Machines
They are offered on the most liberal
terms and all doubters will believe
what we write by walking in and pur-
chasing one.

FINE CLoTH1NG.-We publish in
another column the attractive adj
vertisement of Messrs. Sproule and
McCown, Nos. 10 and AZ St. Charles
street, house where liberal and hon.
orable dealings have made them a
host of friends throughout the South,
but especially in the Red River coun-
try. Mr.. H. d. McCown, the resi-
dent partner, is gentleman of supe-
rior business tact and energy, always
courteous and agreeable. That ster-
ling friend of our people, Captain
W. H. Rogers, will also be found with
this firm.
Messrs. Sproule and McCown have
now received their Spring and Sum
mer stock, all fresh, desirable and
cheap, and those who send their or
ders to them will have them prompt
ly and satisfactorily filled.

CHARITY.-This heaven-born viz
tue is once more to be christianized

made, is for the benefit of St. James
Church, and under the special gui-
dance of the ladies of that Church.
This must suffice as an incentive for
our people to help the good work.
The Democrat family are honored
with complimentary" for which
hearty thanks.

The body Of Ada Menken, once

moved in less than a year after her
death to the Cemetery Mont Parnasse
where they will repose for all time.

AssEssMENT.-The Tax Collector
and Assessor has his deputies out
making and getting the assessments
for the taxes to be collected in 1876,
which is centennial year and should
be purified and commemorated as a
good one in the tax line. To falici.
tate and aid in this matter, let every
one come forward and hand in his
list, and thus start his own assess
ment, and not after his own neglect
to do right, growl and raise old hi
hereafter, because he is down for too
much. Attend to this in time, at
tend to it in person and you will
surely be righted, and leave no old
sores behind to bandage. es

A CHANGE OF BAsE.-Field- Mar
shall Nicholas johnson, head dipper
of all the colored folks of the Baptist
''suasion" hereabouts, has gone and
deserted poor little Alexandria Town,
and last Sabbath actually transferred
his monthly dip to the Pineyille side
of old Red. His first performance
there, at the mouth of the Guadal-
culver, which classic stream flows
between the graveyard and the old
Confederate Forts, was truly cred
liable one to the old man, and re-
suited in snatching from old Nick s
grip several Maynard sisters and un-
clean brothers.

The GRAND JURY.-This body, af-
ter a sitting of seven days, adjourned
on last ednesday. During their
session they found and reported over
thirty true bills against evil doors
and sinners, all Of which were laid
before the Court. They handed in a
Report in which, among other COM
plants, they handle with rough
grip the School Board, its bad man
agement and it's omission of duty.
This is all we'll enough, but some
time since we put in the plea igno-
rance and incompetency in their be-
half and the people needed it hot,
but silently and criminally stand it.
We have no idea now that the Grand
Jury have forced the fight, that this
people who are the sufferers and the
crushed, will take any action at this
late. hour. Thsy are listless to our
whistle Of danger ahead, and snore
on the post of duty. God help the
helpless, and deliver us from our pa
triots.

-THE recent removal of Commits
sioner Douglas, of the Revenue De-
partment, and the appointment of
ex-senator Pratt, Of Indiana, to fill
the ousted vacancy, seems to have
created o marked excitement among
the big ones Of the Radical camp
Old Simon Cameron has called on
Grant and had q war chat about it,
but came out Of the White House
with a Morton flea in his ear. Evil
IDENTITY Grant indicates by this last
act of his, that Pennsylvania is no
longer a Republican State, and that
he is about to make his stand in the
Northwest, as the last ditch Of Radi-
calism. Pratt is a Morton man, a
third-termer and one of the Order of
the Bloody Shirt, and clearly indi-
Gates the old line ofpolicy as regards
the South.

Mn. KELLOGG is still on the i'm

and eminently 6tand appropriate ap-
pointment. We mean this when we
announce that he has bestowed the
office Of Harbormaster, of New Or
leans, on Captain Kennison, of the
Steamer LESSEE Taylor. Such an Of
fee should always be filled by such
men of experience in that peculiar
branch, and not by partizans and
deadbeats. We have no knowledge
of Captain Kennison's politics, but
we know the appointment is a good
one and do not hesitate to score one
for Mr.. Kellogg.

Two young men Of our Town,

ice, soda water, ice cream, sherbets

CouR1ER-JeuRNAL.-When street
car is crammed full, and the scrawny
little off mule is bleeding from the
cuts it has received in falling on the
track while straining to start the
great load of human selfishness be-
hind it, and the driver is flashing and
cursing the poor creature to make
time, there is always a woman, and
sometimes man, standing on a cor
ner square ahead, waiting to get on
and add something to the woes of
that mule. If this wretched animal
has the power to think one solitary
thought, it must be that he thinks.
how grateful he ought to be that be
is not to 60 to heaven, where men
and women go, when he dies.
