TO show that it is not necessary
for black ran to 60 to Kansas TO
get rich, we refer to Gabe Parker, a
freedman Of this Parish, and as an
example Of honesty and industry
worthy Of communication. Gabe Par
ker is, in appearance, genuine spe-
cimen Of the African race. He was
born aud raised slave, and freed
with the balance Of his race 10 the
South. He is now the owner of
fine farm and hrickyard on the Abita
river, and two schooners, one Of
which carries wood, brick aud sand
to New Orleans, and the other is in
the trade from New Orleans to Mo-
bile. On a recent visit to his place,
we were surprised at his crop Of rice
and cotton, especially tie latter,
which can hardly be excelled in the
Parish. He is out Of debt, is repu-
ted honest, and known. as a man of
wealth. [st. T@mmany Farmer.

We were very anxious to hear who
was the nominee for President at the
National Convention i'm Chicago. The
cause of our anxiety was that our town
representative. il U. S. Grant was nom-
mated, claimed a third term as our
representative but as Grant was not
nominated, we suppose he will with
draw from the field. Good bye.
The people of this place who had
lightning rods put on their buildings
last year, have had a visit from the
parties holding the notes for said rods,
requesting their pay. Our people kind

were not in that business now, and
consequently the rods were of no value
to them. OCCASIONAL.
