MI Edi'Or
noticed few weeks since, a commu.
nicaton in the INDICATOR, from an cX-
pcrirnced writer OF this parish, "VoX
Populi.' expressing the sentiments IT the
majority of our citizens on the political
situation. felt highly gratiiitd at hay
ing such an able writer, a person of such
mcrited talent and unostentat'on to elu
cidate the sentiments of the people of our
parish. | felt assured that in the future
"VoN Popnli" would be, to the parish of
Sabine, what EIearscy is to the State Of
Louisiana, the true asSertor of the pco-
PIES rights, increasingly welding his
trenchant pen in behalf of an oppressed
and presented people but alas find,
"Vox,' is silent and the sentiments of
the people of Sabine, are no longer pub
lickly expressed.
Can it be possible that r. X. Goodloe's
epiStle in the N1NDICAtOR was too en-
ptatic and truthful to be refuted or be-
cause his assertions concur with the
views of "Vox Populi." l assure you l
know not but am truly sorry that Sabine
should sustain such a serious loss as his
silence in the VINDICAToR.
|, with MY very limited thlcnt. feel
constrained to communicate on this oc-
casion IL few remarks sincerely hoping
that "Vox" will again devote his talent
to the advancement Of the parish. by dis
cussing all questions concerning its vel.
fare, in the columns of the Nindicator.
The transformations writer's re-appear-
ance will be hailed with eclat.
Mr.. Editor--1 regret that your valu-
able journal is not more literally patron
lied by the people of Sabine. We, in
general. manifest great deal of indit-
ference towards reading, which is to he
regretted it accounts for the great want
of information noticeable in our people.
We have in the "Natchitoches Vindica-
tor fearless, able and Independent pa
per; it's columns are open to our people
for the discussion of all questions con
corning the parish yet there arc not in
the parish twcnty-tve..who subscribe and
pay for it.
Discussing politics in this section is Il
may say obsolete, the people being now
fully satisfied that thievery is at an end :;
that there will be protection for life and
property that the laws will he proper
~ administered; that the terrorism and
lawlessncss which pcrva1el our State
will now cease and that peace, happi-
ness and prosperity will be again res
tored to our once beautiful Louisiana !;
have settle down to work to live in peace
under the Nichols government.
Court was in session last week i; the
logic and cloquence of MeSsrs Smith and
Presley WAS listened to only Gy few as
there We're not many in attendance.
There was a bloody rencounter in Many
on last Saturday week between W. H..
Holloway and Chap Cole, the latter re-
reived some very severe blows, one
breaking the bridge of his nose and two
bad cuts with the jaws of II knife on the
lower lips Holloway had a preliminary
examination before Judge G Armstrong
and was placed under a bond of one
thousand dollars. The following night
the Jail door was broken and Holloway
set Il liberty.
Crop prospect at present is flatterins
corn a little spotted but improving fast
and now has beautiful color; cotton
doing we'll. We had a very nice rain on
Saturday.
