Our compliments to W. H. Ches-
ney, the popular aud gentlemanly
clerk Of the G. III. Durfee, for la'e
files of New Orleans papers. -,
The G. Fl. Durfee touched here
asst night. She bad heavy frei lit
for up-riyer landings.
Tuesday last was Mardi Gras
day, and in the larger cities New
Orleans, Memphis, Shreveport and
Vicksburg-King Comus and CAR
nival reigned supreme. His sub
jects in the city Of Colfax feel
sighted that his Majesty did not
issue his edict to them, signed
"Rex." We are not. behind the
times in this section, and if his
Majesty only condescended to
favor us with his presence, he
would be astonished to see what n
"Mystic Krew" we could turn out
in Colfax.
"A favorite exchange OF ours,
a paper on which we worked a
long time as SOUR" came to us
last week, the editor making the
announcement in its columns that
a burglar broke into the office ons
night and stole the sum vi 50. 25
out of his drawer. You either
should not have so mash wealth

OF it you should watch ii closer
Thus. you see, what you accunlu.

"Riches will take wings!" We
sympathize with you.

proper understanding of his bust

more flames and fortunes than an,
other-perhaps, all ether thing,
put together. We would inform
our merchants, and business mel

On Monday next some of our
celebrities. will be here at count,
and a matter will be taken under
consideration that every citizen OF
our Congressional District is inter

justice bear the sway-let us not bc
cheated in our rights; let the Con-
stitation of the United States-th.
Constitution OF our own State-and
the Just laws of our land be carried
out. Political knaves have been in
power too long, and the people ap.
