LETTER FROM OLD ROZZURI."
PINEywooDs, NORTH srDR.)
Nov. 10, 1879. {
q DEAR DEMOCRAT

DEAR DEMOCRAT
l am rejoiced to he able to greet
you and your readers once again.
am just over an attack of rumatics-
a very common complaint among the
"able-bodied' during The war, if you
recollect.
The rains have come and started
things growing pretty pert. Cotton
picking is about through with US,
and We will soon be bringing in the
fieecy staple, encouraged by the
good prices at present prevailing,
and the prospect of a rise in the riy-
er, and consequently lower freights;
and then look out for the Christmas
tricks we'll buy for the little ones.
l must say word here about pol
ltics. The ticket nominated by the
Democratic Convention of this Par
ish gives entire satisfaction through
out this neck of the woods. 1t is no
use for me to particularize in names.
They are all good and honorable
men, and we are gwine to elect them.
Independent is a poor subtertuge for
a party name, but we can't be fooled
by it. Let man be a straight for
ward one thing or another. For in
stance, if he is Doesticks' honorable
friend, damphooI, let him say SO; for
ii he don't, his acshuns will show it.
We are all getting ready for the
Barbecues to be given in our section
OF the country next week. And we
want particularly to see Col. Hatha-
way, our candidate for Representa-
tive, who, we learn, is from the ives.
tern Pineywoods. We want to en-
brace his rozzum old soul. You
know Iozzum sticks to rozzum, and
the more perlitical heat you throw
into it, the more it'll stick.
We was all glad to hear Avoyelles
had dun the noble thing in endors-
ing the Democratic nominees for
Judge and District Attorney. All
hail to our sister Parish, and here's
an honest old hand extended to.
grasp the hand of the noble old Ro-
man, Ludger Barbin, whose influence
ana recommendation brought about
this endorsement.
Well, I've nothing more to write
about in particular, SO I'll do the |
best thing I've done yet-I'll stop.
Yours fraternally,
OLD ROZZIJM.

Mr.. Ryan read q fine impressive poem
entitled. "rhe Biyouac.nF
Miss K. Holt gave IN original article,
an ap"Stroplle to Autumn, Which tho
in prose. was full OF poetic thought.
Mr.. Xavier Ransdell delivered an
original address, 'Thc Effects of Study
1t gives us real pride and pleasure to
see young man voluntarily choose
such a theme, and deliver it with az
emphasis, a vim, which shows it comes
from the heart. 1t is such a spirit as
this that leads a youth OH TO fame, and
makes Il man of him in it's highest no
biest acceptation.
Mrs. Adeline Luckett, who, on this
occasion was voted for unanimously as
an honorary member of the clnb, gave
reading, poem written for her bv
Mad. Sompayrac, of Natchitoches, a sis
ter poetess, for Mrs. Lnckett herself is
sweet rhymist, and full of fine litera-
ry traits. The subject of Mrs. Luck
ett's poem was taken from a tradition
IN the Talmud, the sacred book of the
Hebrews, and related by Leckie in his
History of Civilization in Europe"
giving the derivation OF the word 'lul-
laby' as being taken from 'Lilletti
ADJ" who was supposed to be the first
wife OF Adam. But Lilletti was spirit
Was a syiph who left the skies
To taste the joys of Paradise"
She bore children unto Adam, and
sang them to sleep wish "lullaby.n
from which they never awakened, and
in their upward flight she followed
them to Heaven, deserving Adam.
Then came Eve, the Earth mother,
who also sings to her children, a sooth-
ing LULLABY"
(Which has floated down the ages
Heard by poets, priests, and sages-
NOW when some young mother sings,
Angels come with snowy wings,
And they whisper in the ear
OF the sleeping nursing dear
Tales OF worlds. SO fair and bright
That it smiles in fond delight
Bnt tits that deep MOTHER love
Which wins guardian from above"
Mrs. Flower read paper, headed
Awakened from Follyn" an alleeory
from the graceful pen of one who has
once before done the Minerva Club, the
honor of bestowing upon It an original
under the nom de plume of
ga Drone."
1T was maxim of prominent
Democrat of the old school THAT the
party must be "either mad or scaredn
in order to do its best in campaign.
The recent crayfshing, croaking and
mingling with the old enemy, the past
ten days here, have insured these con-
titions in the regular ticket, and we
predict, that the result is sure to as
sonish those who count on disastrous
from the detection allu-
ied to. There will be no list of indif-
ferent, lame Or lazy Democratic ab-
'entees or skulkers on the I'd of De-

OUR LUMBER INTERESTS.

Since the completion of the South ern Pacific railroad to Maricopa, a sort of competition in lumber and other articles seems to have set in- Not that we would decry tho railroad :, for it is benefit to us and tlIe Terri tory at lsgge Still there are its dis advantages. The lumber merchants of San Francisco and particularly those of Los Angeles, see a large field for the sale of lumber in this Territory. and srS using every cndea- ver to have the trade go to them. So anxious are they to secure this trade they have caused a reduction in the prices of lumber in the hopes that it will be an incentive. for those de- siring to purchase to transmit their orders to their city to be filed To build up country in wealth and af- fiuence, is to patronizc home indus : tries, and by SO doing keep the money in circulation here. To the north of us is vast timber belt, eompris- ing pine, walnut, fir, ash, etc, which will take years to diminish. Men brought machinery there years ago, when it was wild country, and when they had to guard their mills with armed men, lest the savage Indian would destroy them. They lave fur Rished this country at rates as low as was possible, and we are confident that they will do by us faIrly, and it is our duty to purchase ot them in preference to California, for they arc the principal consumers of our products. Our wheat, barley and flour find q steady market in their re- zion. The population of Northern central portion and is steadily in ereasing, and tl1s greater number they haze. the better and more prosperous we become. Lumber may be Pur- chased a few dollars cheaper from California, hut do we gam by it? Cannot our neigEbofs buy their bar lev, their four and other products pc culiar to this valley, in California, thus cutting of oar market: These arc things which should Le looked into and not take leap in the dark Lum Der purchased in California must be for cash, while that from Prescott is exchanged, for the most part, in goods; the money is kept here, i'm provemenfs arc made that would not tse done if it were sent away; the country becomes better off by virtue of tho improvements, and both the purchaser and manufacture Ter are ben efifed.
