Having been repeatedly solicited
to do so, the editor OF this paper ad-
dressed letter to the President OF
the Citizens Bank, to ascertain the
conditions that will he made in case
the parish seat.sshould be located on
the Raven Camp place. The follow
ing reply has been received:
CrrrzKxs' BANK or LOUISIANA,
New Orleans, May IS, 30.
Editor Chronicle:
Your favor of Sd to hand in due
course, as also copy OF the CHRoNr-
Gle. In the matter of the new town
to be established in Grant on our
Raven Camp place. without being
able to make q definite proposal, !
ian say that the Directors of the
Bank are favorably disposed, and
would be- willing to make liberal
concession to town authorities.
As q suggestion, subject to such
notifications as exigencies may re-
quire, I think something like this
To lay off portion of Raven CamE
into say forty-two squares, each two
hundred and fifty feet square, viz:
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1880-05-29

We have been panied to learn Of
serieus and unfortunate accident to
Major H. v. Mccain. of Montgomery,
our we'll known and Efficient Repre-
reseutative. On the morning of Fri
day. 2lst. instant.sssas he was on the
way from his residence to his store,
be slipped and fell, catching his en-
tire weight upon the knee OF the
same leg that he had to have ampu-
tated above the ankle on account Of
a wound received in the late war.
He fell with such force that the bone
lust above the knee was broken. 1t
is feared his leg will have to be am
putated the second time. The Major
has good war record, and is extern
sively known throughout the State
as Mason of high standing, having
served as an officer of the Grand
Lodge for several years, and deep
regret will be felt by his many warm
personal friends at his misfortune.
