The Clinton and Port Hudson Railroad
has been sold to Messrs. Pipes, Lyons and
others, so we are informed by tho pa
pers. 1t is to be hoped that the new
management will see tho advantages to
be derived by connecting their road with
tho now State Capital, which will soon
be traversed by another line that will
place its inhabitants in full communica-
ton with tho great railway system of
the United States, both cast and West
of the Mississippi river. Ourpeople will
hail with delight the hour when their
Clinton friends are linked to them by
bands Of steel.

The Latest and Most Fashionable !

We would call the attention Of oul
friends, and all those who have Job
Printing to be done, that We have just
received another lot of fancy job type,
which enables us to turn out work in
more satisfactory style than ever. Those
who favor the patronage of homo enter
prise now have an opportunity to do so.
1t is no vain boast when we say that
we execute work as neatly rs the best
office in New Orleans. And our charges
are about the same.
We do not blame man for sending
his work to foreign offices when there
are no home facilities for its execution
in the manner he desires, especially if
the local charges are unreasonable but
we honestly confess that VIC have no
love in our heart for tho man who ig-
norcs all home claims and facilities and
throws his patronage where it can never
return to him or tho community which
sustains him in his business.
We present this fact for the considera-
ton of oil SO they can weigh the mat
tor until they reach the conviction that
home patronage sustains home enter
prise and builds up prosperous cities.
Mechanics, especially, should heed
this timely injunction.
