not that some people, Of the good town

The condition of the corn and cotton
crop from Homer west TO the Webster line
is better than we expected 10 find il. We
passed through that portion of the parish
lately and were pleased to observe many
evidences of prosperity. The people seem
to have laborcd assiduou,ly. The fields
are clean, free FROM grass and weeds, and
all damages caused by heavy rains seem to
have been repaired. With good seasons
and other favoring circumstances We may
reasonably anticipate bountiful yield Of
corn and cotton.

The following which is clipped, from the
Shreveport Times, Will be pleasant reading
for our people:
A short time since Mes,rs. Duncan and
Moucurc received letter from Mr.. Taylor,
an attorney at Pittsburg, Indiana, pr"pos-
ing, in the interest of parties not mention
ed. To bnild the road to Monroe, without
asking any franchises OF assistance from
any quarter, provided hc could secure the
charter of the Red River and Mississippi
company. The proposition WAS submitted
to the directory OF IA" company, aud an
ntimation given. probablya pledge, that
the charter could be- had, prov ldcd gnardn-
tees were made that the road would not
discriminate against Shreveport in freight
aud passenger rates, and provided, further,
that the machine shops be located here.
We believe this was the substance of the
conditions.
Yesterday the attorneys above mentioned
received letter from Mr.. Taylor, To- the
effect that he ur others would come on and
close the contract ON the terms specified.
Prospects are certainly frightening for us.
