has honorrL our city with n call during
the week through its representative Nj.
Gustave A. Bourquin. W. were pleased
to meet him and wish his paper aud .srlt
all success.
GINS Wright one Of our town boys and
i typ" has inst returnel to hiS old home
+" rrcuprran from the fatigneS Of the
Memphis yellow fever epidemic. He
volunteered and entered that city early
in the outbreak and remained g.ll..ntly
at his post doing noble service till al
inst, when he was relieved from duty by
Jack Frost. Gus certainly deserves much
praise for his noble charity and our peo-
ple will not BE- slow to accord it,
Bargains in remnants Of old
stock can be had at H. n.
Walmsley'S He is compelled to
close ont his old stock in order to
make room for his mammoth East
ern supply and will sell this rem
nant at any price.
Natchitoches is presented with oppor-
tunities but seldom. When she is, we
sincerely hope that in future widely
different course will be presented FROM
that in the past. We were gratifed to
zee OH our streets, wagon loads of COT
ton from Winn parish, and We have
been told that number of farmers have
been here from that section this fall,
with cotton. Vernon parish is coming
also, and now that they do, let Us also
do something to retain their trade. Good
roads and bridges are imperatively de-
handed, and we trust they are both in
such condition as to stand the winter
rains, which must shortly occur. With
fair treatment and something like enter:
prise on the part of our business men, tho
trade of the two parishes named can be
secured to us for all time.
Parties desiring to purchase
cheap and excellent goods both as
to style and quality will consult
their interest by calling early at
H. A. Walmsley's who has just re-
turned from New York with a
stock fully equal to the wants OF
this section.
Col. G. w. McCranie of tho Ouachits
Telegraph, who fought tho noble fight for
an honest constitution against "Stnbbs
and his coterie," has this to say Of the
result:
The Amendments have been defeated
straight ont, as they ought to have been,
and scarcely a member Of the legislature
who has been before the people for en-
dorsement has survived the banter. They
are all gone down, and they all ought to
have gone down. They were elected to
redeem Louisiana, and were pledged,
az men seldom are, to make Louisiana a
State of Freemen. They slept on watch,
and tho people have ordered they should
be shot.
The extent Of the shooting" in Qua.
chita was-For Stubs ii. Q. tho amend
ments) 347 against Stubs Il. 9. for the
Ouachita Telegraph 1877. That is cor.
tainly q handsome endorsement for one
of tho insignificant country papors."
J. J. McCook & Bro, the ''old
reliablen wholesale and retail mer
chants of Natchitoches, have con
tinued to maintain their prestige
They carry an immense stock
purchased from first hands fol
cash, and offer superior induce
ments to retail buyers, planters
and the trade. Merchants in thu
; interior will find on investigation
that this house can supply then
on better terms than they can sc
cure in New Orleans, St. Louis Of
New York. They not only keel
every line Of dry goods, but dea
largely in fancy and staple groce
ries, wines, liquors, and tobaccoes
Their stock Of boots and shoes i
very heavy and being offered a
reduced figures.
RIVER Nrws.- Old Red has dwindle
down to . nero "stresk" of very thi
water. Our latest from below contain
, thu startling information that there
but 10 inches steamboat water at I'll
, month. From this out there is bett.
water than from Grand Ecore to Shrevt
, port. The Willard and Cornie Brando
continue to ply between our port an
Shreveport, bringing good freights. Tt
first boat in three months from New o
It. leans arrived on yesterday, and on
cotton dealers hearts was made gla'
Freight rates, however, are high whic
= will, we suppose, not be Of long dur
,, ton from tho fact that Captain Ak
J. with his enterprise and industry wi
d with the government appropriation al
y his own means, put our river in passab
b, condition within q month whom freigh
y will sink to tho wants of trade"
= Ladies' will please call and Q
