CIRCULAR LETTER
From the Monroe Board of Trade to
the People of Oak Ridge.

Al mo0tlnR Oh the Monroe bO0rO
of Trade held April LIST, we were APP
pointed a committee TO ascertain the
cost, and to take the necessary steps to
have constructed a substantial roadway
through the Coolie Swamp, in your
parish. Accordingly two members of
the committee, accompanied by l.. N.
Polk, Surveyor and Civil Engineer,
visited in person the locality mention
ed and made an accurate measurement
of the distance across the swamp, from
which Mr.. Polk prepared careful es-
innate Of the cost of building practi-
cable road; which estimate, after being
submitted to and considered by the
Board, was thought to establish the
possibility of building the road by
private subscription, provided the Mon
roe Board of Trade could get definite
and reliable promises of the assistance
and cooperation of the planters and
citizens of Oak Ridge.
Besides the desirability and conven-
fence of having this city made easy of
access to you, the pecuniary advantages
that you will derive from the construc-
ton of this road are worthy of your
careful and earnest consideration. 1t
is known that ssfigures won't lie," and
we think moments reflection will
convince you that it will be money in
your pocket and to the interest and
welfare of your community, for you to
lend your influence and all the aid you
can afford to assist in the construction
of this road. In selling your cotton
at Oak Ridge, its merchants before
fixing the price they can afford to pay
you, must calculate that to haul same
to Girard is worth 81 per bale; freight
on same to New Orleans, 81 SO; insur-
bale of cotton weighs 400 lbs, to ship
1Oc per h., would cost

Making it cost to sell ono bale s 90
or about 14c per ID to sell n bale of cot

Ridge at SIC. On the other hand, with
this road opened to Monroe, enabling
you to haul your cotton there, her
merchants figure thus:

amount saved on one bale, 81 SO (the
difference between s. SO and 50 a5)
may seem small, but on ten thousand
bales, the quantity which is estimated
as being produced annually on Oak
Ridge and the adjacent country, ag-
gregates a yearly saving of $1,000.
The above figures bear with equal
weight upon the planter who instead
of selling at Oak Ridge ships his cot
ton to New Orleans.
This calculation, as you observe, does
not take into consideration the differ
ence between the cost to you of haul
ing to Monroe and hauling to Oak
Ridge for the reason that we estimate
that more than the difference is saved
to you in the cheaper price at which
you can purchase goods in this market

A SEMI-MIIIENNIAL.- The Hunterdon Co.
Bible Society has called the attention of the
managers of the American Bible Society to
the fact that the year 1880 will complete a
semi<fnillennial of the English Bible, the

Wycfiffe having been issued in 1880. The
American Society is asked to signalize the
OCCASION Id such manner as in their judgm ent
they shall seem best An earlier date Q37S)
has been assigned for the issue of the first

and he was accustomed to weigh them we'll.
If our Professionalism is Of any value to us, we
may we'll pause for a single day to do honor to
the memory of the :" first preachers"

Last Saturday morning, Isaac Hoppoek,
of Ringoes, took his axe and proceeded to the
woods of Monroe Hagaman to cut some wood
for himself. His wife was away from home
on visit at the time, and returned on Satur-
day evening. She was surprised that her
husband did not make his appearance, but
thought he would be home during the night.
He did not come, however, and when Mrs. II.
began next day to make inquiries about him
some of the eighbors-Henry and George
Brewer-went out to the woods in search of
the missing man. They found him lying
alongside of log In an almost insensibe condi.

for more than twenty-four hours. DR.. Lari-
son pronounced it an attack of paralysis. He
is very low, but little hopes being entertained
