Mrs. Ward, living on the Farmer
vile road about nine miles from Tren-
ton, left home alone last Saturday even
ing to visit a neighbor three or four
miles distant, expecting to remain over
until Sunday evening. Failing to re-
turn at the appointed time, Mr.. Ward
started to learn the cause of her stay.
In crossing the Choudrant bridge he
saw her body in the bayou. Her throat
was cut, there were several knife
wounds in the breast, one on the thigh
and one eye had been put out. The
body showed signs of having been de-
Toured. Up to Tuesday no clue to the
perpetrators of the hellish crime had
been discovered. The neighborhood
is greatly excited and every possible
means adopted to find out the guilty
parties.
Mrs. Ward was the daughter of Mr..
Carmichael, of Tuskeege, Ala, and
much beloved by her friends and &C.
quaintance.

Our energetic Board of Trade is and
has been doing everything possible to
advance the interests of this growing
we all know, and their efforts and sue
cess are deserving of the highest COM
mendation. Now, of course, it can't
accomplish everything at once, and
nobody should expect it to do so; but
would suggest that it would not be
amiss at the present time for them to
renew the collapsed effort of erecting a
compress in this city. I do not mean
to stcrowd' them, but merely suggest
it for their deliberation, and hope that
should they act favora0ly on the pro-
ject they will be successful. Let the
compress question be again agitated.
And in conclusion, a hearty congratu-
latiOn to the Board.

The following extracts from a letter

clerk of the Little Bob, dated Column
bia, 14th inst, may be of some interest
to our readers: .sThe river is lower
down this way than it has been known
to be for years. We pulled one whole
day in going through the mouth OF
Red river. The dredge-boat is at work
In the ssmud hole" but can do very
little if any good. We left the Fanchon
fast aground. The Stein came through
after much pulling aud hard work.
The Tom Parker went down to meet
her and brought up portion of her
freight. The Stein was unable to
reach Harrisonburg and had to put
her freight out ON the bar. We have
stored our Monroe and Trenton freight
at Columbia, being unable to come up
any higher.''

Monroe merchants received during
the cotton season of 1876-'77, 1926 bales
cotton. For the season of 1877-'7s we
have nothing official, but there was
not more than 5000 bales received.
For the month of September, 1876,
there were III bales received, and for
the same month this year over 1900
bales-a striking contrast indeed. Some
who know whereof they speak, esti-
mate that Monroe will receive this
season 49, bales cotton, exclusive of
that which is consigned for re-ship-
ment.
