OUR FLOYD CORRESPONDENCE.

FLOYD, April 18th, 1877
Dear Beacon Floyd is wearing her holiday

good PEOPLE having decided on tins as an oc-
casion for "wholesale" congratularion over the
happy event, and also for the endorsement Of
Gov Nichols, and an expression of loyalty to
his government.
1t is well known that for eight long years,
the country west of Bayou MACON has occu-
pied strictly tributary position 10 the richer
and more popuous part of the parish. Not
only are we entirely sepcrate in interest from
the eastern portion of the former parish, but
cur relative geographical positions have rem
dered intercourse between the two sections
burdensome in the extreme. A mere glance
at the map Of Carroll parish will readily
show that the location of the seat Of Justice at
Lake Providence was a hardship to the people
west Of the MACON, ina>much as the inter-
vening distance included twenty miles of
uninhabitable swamp. Considering The fact
that this distance is overlooked part of the
year, and always invested with all the horrors
of other deserted regions, it is not a matter Of
surprise thar the division should be celebrated
with universal joy and aladness. The ladies,
with their usual enthusiasm, met soon after
the arrival Of the news, 10 rejoice over the

THE LADIES OF FLOYD TO SEN4-
TOR WHEELER.
FLOYD, March 3lst, 1877.

JUDGE WHEELER:
We, the undersigned ladies of
Floyd and vicinity, beg leave to express to
you our earnest appreciation of your zeal in
behalf of the bill dividing our parish into East
and West Carroll, and our unbounded JOY in
the knowledge that the people west of Bayou
Macon are no longer tributary to district so
widely separated by nature as to make us two
distinct peoples, with aims and intere. u
diverse and social organizations as definitel
marked as natural barriers could make them
The urgent necessity Of the division has
been inevitably forced upon us by the frequent
dangers 20 which our husbands, brothers and
friends have been subjected, in the long and
perilouS journey to the former seat OF justice,
and we were ever enthusiastic advocates of
the measure that would enancipate them from
the compulsory allegiance.
Accept, therefore, our heartfelt gratitude for
your manly defence and persistent advocacy
of this Just measure. Should you honor us
by visit to Floyd, it is our earnest desire to
welcome you by more substantial evidence
Of
