SLEMoNs don't believe in bondholters,
but, we are pleased to say, SLEMoNs does
believe In hell. In speech on the sIl-

livered although it is printed in the Con-

ghosts along the waiting shore to read

Another good wheat crop will tend to
keep gold down. Wheat, in fact, is q

To all those Of our own party who
have heretofore responded SO readily
to similar calls upon their patriot
Fisfn and party feaIty, the Executive
Committee feels that it can confident
ly give them the assurance of the
success which awaits us in Novem
Der, and tits only necessary that we
should ask you to be united, active
and vigilant, and the victory is ours.
We feel we can safely trust the in
terests of The party and people to
you, and in conclusion we ask you to
beware of counterfelts and recollect
that there can be no compromise
with radicalism; he who is not for
US is against us, whatever name he
may assume. Whoever seeks, under
any name, or for any purpose to the
defeat of our candidates seeks the
defeat of our party, and our defeat
means the triumph of RadicaIism.

THE YELLOW FEVER.

We, are once more glad to an
nounce that the health of our Town
remains excellently good, and With
the exception of a few cases of inter
mittent and bilious fevers, which
are the exceptions to our general as
sertion, all of which are mastered by
our Physicians. Not single death
from any cause, the past week, and
this fact alone in a Town of 1900
souls endorses our mention Of per-
feet health in our midst.
In. this connection we are reluc-
family forced to acknowledge that
the restrictions and precautionary
measures adopted, under the Quar-
antine Ordinances of the Town,
though they have been very we'll
enforced by Mayor Paul, who is do
ing his utmost to do his duty, have
been in many instances trified with,
and that the Quarantine Station has
been too frequently visited, and if
Yellow Jack is not here now, we
must attribute it to the best of good
luck. En- PEASANT our friends in
Pineyille have certainly managed
theirs rather loosely, aud our gene
raj luck has thus far outwitted the
plague, and we have escaped. We
venture the opinion unless change,
and a strict change, is made, and
that at once, we must be prepared to
have the plague in our midst. The
Ordinances of the Town are good
ones, and if enforced strictly, with
out fear, favor or exceptions, the
chances are greatly in our favor that
we will escape. But another week s
continuance of visitors and sight
seers at the Quarantine Station, and
we are not prepared to answer for
the consequences which may follow.
ForewarnedSis forearmed, and we
trust. our people will act in unison
and aid the authorities in enforcing
the, Quarantine Ordinances to the
rigid letter of the law. q f'i%
We close with the continuation of
the march of the plague in New

Saturdays Primaries.

The voters of the Democratic.
Conservative Party of our Parish, or,
in other words, all opponents of Ra.
pides Radicalism, under it's many
new names, are invited to meet at
their various Precincts, on next Sat
urday, and select or elect Delegates
to the Parochial Convention Of that
same. party to assemble inrAlexan-
dria on Saturday, the 7th day of
September, in the Town Hall. In
other words again, it is family
meeting of the members and voters
of that party, called together to Sc
lect some of that family to represent
them in the general family meeting
which follows it one week thereafter.
The supporters of Governor Nichols
in 1876, and the ticket headed by
his name, are the ones entitled to
mingle and participate in the meeting
Saturday, whether they be registered
or not, and whether they be white or
colored men who supported that
ticket. The apportionment Of the
Parish Executive Committee has
been made on that vote, that appor-
tionment is published, and it is on
easy matter for the interested parties
to understand it.
We hope and expect that these
Primaries will be fully attended, that
the very best men will be selected to
compose the Convention and that the
proper spirit and utmost harmony
will reign at the various Precincts.
At this present writing we are toler-
ably well posted in this matter, and
are glad to anticipate fruitful results
from the Primaries, and from the
Convention. Above all, at this Pre-
cinct, the banner one of the Parish,
let US hope that these good omens
will be fully appreciated and con-
summated, and we predict in ad-
vance good nominations, a lively and
aggressive canvass, and as crown
ing cap to all our good intentions,
good wishes and honest work, victory
will grace our Parochial banners.
