COMMUNICATION.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT

EDITOR DEMOCRAT
Will you please inform this juve
nile how it is that the recent con-
vert(?) to Democracy, We The PEG
pile, so-called, announces itself in it's
last issue, "the official organ of the
Democratic party of the Parish of
Rapides?" Whence does it derive
it's authority Has there been a
meeting of the Democratic Execu
tive Committee of the Parish, and
delegated to this sheet the authority
to act as the mouth piece or official
organ of the aforesaid party of Rap
ides? If..not, this last assumption
on its part is quite "cheeky." 1n-
deed, this writer does not think the
sudden stop over" from ultra radi
calism to a rampant advocate of
Democratic faith, entities it to the
distinction it claims, and no doubt
every sable bodied Democrat in the
Parish will agree With me in this
opinion. The spirit of its editorials
since it embraced the faith it now
processes, as we'll as prior to that
time, is not in keeping with the prin-
clples or teachings of the Democratic
party of to day. New issues are now
presented-old ones are dead. The
carpet Dagger as n political factor in
our State and Parish, has passed
away from among US, it is to be
hoped never TO return; and the negro
politicians are "not what they used
to was" To kick at dead animal,
and to keep kicking at him till your
boots come of, is not Democratic
faith or principle, nor is it good
common sense. In his zeal, since
he has been "born again." the editor
of the paper in question rather over
shoots the mark. But, perhaps, he
is like rolicksome parsonage whom
/ knew once, who used to happily
exclaim, when he became reckless,
swell, it's no use being fellow, un-
less you are HI of fellowr'
Again, Mr.. Editor, I call for the
previous question. JUVENILE.

ness this week, and in self defense

leaving Government fractions Tor The

The Pool Liners have all done
we'll, the past week, and were al on

farm, few miles below Town, with
some 80 head of stock.s.
Charlie Thorn's beautiful blue

down, fully Is hours ahead of time,
making the run from Shreveport to

following as freight manifest: 11o
head of cattle, Sl4 sacks of oil cake,
lis barrels of oil, SO sacks of cotton
seed, 16 bales of cotton, 26 bags OF
wool and 3 bales of hides.
The Laura Lee left Orleans with
the biggest freight that has left that
City for Red River this season, part
of which was 1000 sacks of salt and
1900 bundles of cotton ties, and the
beauty of it is she reached here Fri
day inside of As hours, a remarkably
fast business trip
The Silver City passed down
Monday morning at 8 o'clock, full OF
passengers, 27l head of cattle and
10 bales OF cotton. She took in here
ten cabin passengers.
The Packet, Yazoo Valley, made
bully time this trip, reaching here
Monday at 2 2. NJ, with a $3.50
trip. Hamer, Dowty Go. supplied
us with a big bundle of papers, H
c.. Boazman with our usual one and
the Pool Line likewise. The Packet
goes down to-day at noon.
