Died

At Bellevue, La, February 4th,
1878, at sunset, II. j. b. LOWRY,
second son of j. A. w. Lowry, ST.,
aud Sarah A. Miles, in the 33rd year
OF his age.
The deceased was born at Belle
vue, La, on the 7th day of Novem-
Der, 1S45. In his 18th year he join
ed the Confederate Army-Wyche's
Battalion-was taken prisoner near
Harrisonbnrg, La, in fall Of 1868;
was confined as a prisoner at Camp
Morton for several months; was
then removed to Fort Delaware,
where he remained for thirteen
months and until near the close of
the war. His constitution was nev-
er strong, and the confinement and
hardships of prison wrecked his
health. He returned to his home
after his release, walking the great
er portion of the distance, aud has
been a citizen of Bossier Parish ever
since. LII 1876 he was the Democrat
ic candidate for Recorder of Bossier
Parish-having received the nomi-
nation by decided majority at a
primary election.
Such is brief outline of the prom
nent events in the life of one who
had many traits of character which
caused him to be loved by his rela-
tiyes and kindly esteemed by his
many friends. So far as the writer
knows, 10 Lowry for by that name
he was generally known) had no
enemies. His unwaverirg kindness
to all with whom he was associated,
displayed amid years of ill-health,
speaks loudly in his praise. None
that knew him can withhold the
tear of regret at his death-fail now
to speak kindly Of him-and not
wish that the earth may rest lightly
upon his grave.

FINE STOCK FOR THE SOUTH
It is with great pleasure that we see
d growing interest in live stock
matters in the Southern States. A
great deal Of fine stock is going
every week south wards. We have
daily inquiries almost from our
readers and others in the Southern
States for some of the improved
breeds of stock. AS the South re-
gains its prosperity, the demand
will increase. In no section of our
country can stock be raised at as
great profit as in the South. With
proper Intention to pasturage, stock
will thrive without hay or grain the
year round. The Southern people
heretofore have mainly depended
upon bacon for meat, which has
mostly been purchased in the west
ern States. They are getting tired
of buying everything they have to
eat, and are going to work to raise
enough to supply their own wants.
They want as good, fresh mutton,
beef and pork as anybody, and are
going to raise it. Hence they are
ordering our best breeds.-[St. Louis

W- We have published but
one article on the subject of a
Constitutional Convention, hav-
ing at the time very little faith
that one would be called. We
have since been watching the
current of public opinion, and
are satisfied hatfully thirds
of our people are in favor of such
a Convention; but their wishes
will not be complied with. The
so-called leaders have determin-
ed otherwise, and we will have a
batch Of Amendments submit
ted to patch up the remains of
Radicalism in the old one left
us, as an heirloom, by the miser-
able crew that well-nigh ruined
our State. But to our mind it is
very much like patching up an
old garment that originally was
worthless-every additional
patch renderingit more unseen
ly. We need a new Constitution
suited to the new order of things
in our State, and our people
want it, and are willing to foot
the bill Of expenses. Then why
should we go on at the tinkering
process, and be compelled at
last to remodel the whole thing.
It is admitted, even by those
who are opposed to calling a
Convention now, that it will be
a necessity in the future; but we
can see no necessity for defer
ring the matter. There will nev-
er be a better time than the pres
ent. The affairs of our State are
in the hands of honest, compe-
tent men, and who can tell how
long such may be the case; and
if the hands Of highwayman are
ever again at our throats it will
be no time to make a Chart to
steer by.

One of the best moves we have
seen made by any member was
by Hon. A. H. Leonard, of Cad
do. His motion was that the
mileage and per diem of mem
bers be drawn and placed in the
State treasury to defray the ex-
pense Of a constitutional CON
vention, and that after the call
ing of a convention their body
adjourn. They all voted for it

Business Failures.

Mems minds run in grooves at
periods, and when the times get
hard, and people get to talking
about it, and the newspapers dis
cussing the matter, and legisla-
tors shaping the legislation of
the country in the same line, this
general outcry, all running in
the same groove, makes the re-
suit inevitable. Hard times,
general distrust, contraction and
no business, with many failures.
These dark business waves
swoop down upon the country as
do tornadoes, and the cause for
the same is not half as easily
accounted for as is the cause for
the tornado. But as remarked.
when the minds of men run in
one channel, without a why or a
wherefore, and continue in the
same for years, Notwithstanding
the outlook for a change is du-
bious, yet it will come, for the
force that started the stampede
will spend itself in time. The
end of this blue time is near al
hand. The human mind will re-
act, and when it is all over we
shall wonder at its folly and its
causelessness. Of course the
government has cared little, by
its legislation, whether the peo-
pie sink or swim. 1t has not
needed the walls of the hungry
or the sighs of those sent from
affiuence to poverty by the
shrinkage of values. It has been
both blind and deaf; neverthe-
less the country will shortly
emerge from this slough of des-
pond, to a state of prosperity
This is inevitable, for it is young
and vigorous, and no amount of
bad legielation can bind the peo-
pie.
