plenty of worms in his cotton, aud that
on the Fluker place, he is informed by
tho manager, Mr.. Bumpuss, that 1926
acres Of cotton have been pretty well
ridtlled. Mr.. w. g. Kennedy and Mr..
F. III. Walker both report a very good
crop now webbed up; but Messrs. w.
P.Merrell and j. III. Mitchell say they
have not found any. Mr.. David Faulk
reports a few worms and SO does Capt.
NIarbury. Other planters say they can
find none.
The reader will be able to form as
correct an opinion from this statement
as We are. We arc inclined to believe,
however, that there is danger Of the
destruction of the cotton plant about
tho 10th of next month. The weed is
very vigorous and sappy, and the
weather has been decidedly favorable
for the increase of the caterpillar for
several days. About two.thirtls of
crop, however, may be pretty safely
relied on, with clear hot weather from
now on.

The Next Juries.

We publish to-day, without charge
and with some labor, the full list of
names of persons selected by the Jury
Commission of this parish, from hich
is to be drawn the juries for the next
term of the District Court, beginning
on the 1st Monday in November. The
juries will be drawn from this list, not
less than fifty days prior to the meet
ing of the next term of the Court, and
the Commission will determine how
many jurors will be required, fifty
being drawn for the first week, and
thirty for each additional week the
Commission may think the Court will
sit.
We will publish the Jury law in full
next week, and advise our readers in
this State to preserve the paper for
reference hereafter.

PauperisIll.

The expenses of this City for paupers
is no inconsiderable burthen on the
tax-payers-nore than that, if we mis-
take not, borne by the entire parish
besides. The reason, doubtless, is that
the paupers come to Monroe from all
the surrounding country and other
parishes to be maintained free of charge.
The City Council might enact some law
to regulate this growing exaction upon
the treasury. The poor we will always
have with us, and we are commanded
to provide for them, but the encour-
agement of idleness and vagrancy is
neither a divine nor human injunc-
ton. There is too much pauperism
entirely in Monroe.

The Cotton Caterpillar.

There is the usual anxiety at this
season of the year about the appear
ance 81 the cotton worm, and among
planters and merchants it is just now
the chief topic of talk, in spite of the
strikes, the Turco-Russian war and the
weather. The reports we have receiv-
ed are conflicting. Capt. Head, OF
Trenton, tells us that he has heard but
little of the worm in the hills but Mr..
