LAND OWNERS

IN RED RIVER, SABINE. WYNN,
VERNON OR NATCH1TOCHES,
who desire land advertised for sale
to immigrants, can have the same
done in the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
LOCALITY, CHARACTER OF Soil, M
PROPONENTS, WATER, QUALITY AND
PRICE, on the cooperative plan, I. E.
we will charge regular rates for the
advertisement, and take pay as fol-
lows: ONE HALF CASH, the other
half when the land is sold.
BY this means We become interest
ed in the sale of the land with the
owner, and will give our personal at
tention to answering all inquiries re-
lating thereto.
We hope our friends throughout
the section named, will give their at
tention to this matter.
The great need of Louisiana at
this time is Capital, Immigration and
Intelligent Labor. Capital, to invest
in our Mineral and Agricalttn,ral l lands,
- U"POln0HVe ana I)6rLli-
ncntly settle thereon, and Intelligent
labor to develop our resources.
Why cannot we compete with our
sister States in inducing tho one and
the locating of the other? Our lands
are cheap, rich and productive, pro-
ducing the great staples of the world,
viz: cotton, sugar, tobacco, and all
the small grains. Nowhere on the
continent does fruit come to such per-
lection; oranges, apples, peaches,
pears and grapes, together with all
the smaller varieties, are produced in
abundance. Our climate is healthy
and salubrious; orr seasons are mild
and even. Nature has been kind to
us in all ways, and all that remains
now to be done, that our land may
prosper, is that Capital and Labor
may be induced TO come among US.
The first will find rich field to re.
ward it, and the latter will DO hearth
ly welcomed.
We conclude that all will see the
great advantage of advertising, in
order to lay before the people Of the
bleak North, and the barren Atlantic
board, the elysiuh that awaits the
hardy, industrious immigrant, in
Louisiana.
Let land owners show faith by
works and give us q trial.

We, the citizens of the parish of

sembled, hereby resolve
/. That We recognize Samuel J..
Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks as
President and Vice President elect
of the United States of America, as
expressed at the ballot box, on the
9TH of November last, by majority of
the popula and electoral votes Of the
people and as law-abiding citizens,
obedient and loyal to the Federal
Constitution and Union of our FORE
fathers, pledge them and their gov
eminent full and loyal support. "
2. That we have an abiding con-
tidencc in the integrity, sense of just
ice and patriotism of the American
people, and that Notwithstanding the
frauds perpetrated in our own dis
tracted State, by and through an in
iquitous Returning Board, the just
cause of Tilden and Hendricks alone
can restore national peace, honor and
prosperity.
3. That at the last general election
in this State, Francis T. Nichols and
Louis A. Wilt, were fairly, peace.
ably and legally elected Governor
and Lieutenant Governor of the State
of Louisiana, by popular majority
of more than 5000 votes.
4. That the State government in
augurated by them, and under their

the city of New Orleans, is the only
true, legal and rightful government
now existing in the commonwealth of
Louisiana, and to it We pledge our
full allegiance and undivided sup
port.

attempt of one Stephen B. Pack

CO. conspirators, to foist himself upon
onr people as their lawfully elected
Governor and we hereby declare
our unequivocal and unaltcrable op-

6. We further dcnounce any man

Packard's usurpatory government, as
in open treason against free Suffrage
and the liberty of the people Of Lon

resist any and all attempts to install
any officials save those who openly
and fully recognize the only true and
