Census and Crops,

Stats Registrar Of Voters Colonel Viii.
liam Wright. returned yesterday from a
visit to the river parishes in the interest of
the census returns. This work is progress.
ing slower than he expected. but tor a
creditable reason. The people are in the
fields attending to finer crops than have
ever been seen in Louisiana. Their condi-
ton demands hard work and constant at.
tention from every inhabitant. The whole
country is in magnificent state in this re.
spect. and as q natural consequence census
statistics are regarded with considerable in.
difference. The canvassers are, however.
doing very well. and though the work is
Tagging. they are not.
Another natural result Of the anticipation
of excellent crops is the state of good feel
ing and harmony existing between all
Glasses. No topic Of conversation being so
interesting as that of the brilliant prospect
Of successful harvest, it excludes all
others, and as every body agrees on that. al!
are in good humOr.
