Terrehonno Notes.

The Terrebonne Republican, which is
deeply interested in the welfare of the par
ish in which it is printed, gives an estimate
of what can be produced on an acre of land
by careful cultivation. Il says If planted
in cane an acre will yield $3.50, corn $50,
cow peas and hay $50. potatoes s35. cab
bages SIS, garden vegetables $500. rice $l35
broom corn 500. tobacco $3.50, and so on. In
this and other parishes where agricultural
labor would probably pay as well, there are
hundreds Of broad acres lying idle and
rnnning to waste. These facts are before the
people OF this great city where thousands
are unable to get work and are on the verge
Of starvation. Shit: the surplus labor of
the city to the country. az the Relief Assc.
citation is attempting to do. and town and
country vii! gain alike by the operation.
The men disposed TO work need but little
encouragement to better their condition,
and this the large land owners eau we'll
afford to give.
There is another pha.e Of country life
which the Republican touches llgh tly upon.

shaky in his displays of skill. This may be
due. however, to change Of climate and
fatigue Of travel.

first game of Frank Maggiol;. Tho New
Orleans boy won the string and started off
with run of .6. He made many brilliant
spurts. scoring runs Of S. and so. but the
Chicago player closed with him by steady
play and won the game II 200 points by

30 81; Maggio!i's average. 7-3.
The winners creates. runs were II, Sc,

by careful nursing and brilliant round. the.

champion is not diminished, regard for the
skill Of the Chicago player has taken for
