OF United States men OF wal were decked out

the day that gave blrth to the first President
OF this once great and glorious Republic

The Shreveport Times says:
The jeff jump. of Monday, responds as
follows to our lnterro9atOry
1.-The Times wants to know if those who
signed the steamboat contract have stuck
All but one have stuck like mustard plaster
and that fellow has since repented and asked
for the prayers OF the church.
Must have been a late atflir, for we saw one
hundred bales at the depot yesterday from
jefferson. One dolllr through was the tariff
on it. The steamers growl like the devil
when they have to cut that rate in two and
take the least half for their share. Seven
hundred miles is a long way TO carry cotton
for fifty cents per bale, when the rail gets fifty
cents per bale for seventy miles. Railroads
are queer chickens any way
Steamers of the Blanks Line give through
bills of lading for all points on every one of
the Ouachita River tributaries. The Gov.
Allen leaves in the line this evening at 5
o'clock.
