We are pleased to note the return to
Donaldsonville Of Mr.. Jacob Lemann and
his sou Myer, who have been visiting the
Hot Springs and other pleasant resorts.
They will remain here about two weeks,
then HE away again for the summer.
Mycr IS the picture of health and ap-
pears to be in his usual happy frame Of
mind, and his respected father doesn't
seem to have turned a hair in the past
ten years.
Mr.. Harris Heath, manager Of Mr..
Ben Gibson's rice plantation opposite
Donaldsonville, sent to the CHIEF office
this week q sample Of the splendid rice
growing on the place, and we must
confess to being surprised at the ad-
vanced state Of the grain and the prom
Use which it gives Of prolific yield.
We trust that this promise may be am
ply fulfilled, to the credit Of Mr.. Heath
as cnltivator and the profit Of his cs-
timable employer.
A sack Of the sisters and the cousins Of
Ned I'sley's large sample potato made its
appearance 1T the editors residence last
Saturday, in the custody of young gen
tleman Of color, who brought word that
none Of the aunts Of the big 'tater could
be found. We didn't miss the old ladies,
Ned; the young'uns are powerful gold
company, and we're much obliged to you
for the pleasure Of their society.
OF the pumpkins virtues some may pirate, or
Fill our ears with tomato racket,
But give to US old Ireland's later,
With or without his shining jacket.
