sprung up, which continued up to to-

was cool enough to render fires necessary
to comfort.
The st. Tammany Farmer, for tho
benefit Of Harry IIyams, graciously re-
marks: If our friends don't crowd rs
too hard to act as President OF the Baton
Rouge Press Convention, We shall vote
for the sugar plum of the Sugar Planter.
MAGNIFICENT CANE.--Our friend, Mr..
J. b. Dupuy, on last Sunday, showed us
II sugar cane having twenty rcd joints.
The fine specimen comes from the plant
alton of that skillful planter, Mr.. Emile
Lctcvre, Of West Baton Rouge, one of
the most successful in that parish. Mr..
Lciovrc has many acres of such cane.
If You want something nice to eat re-

II" new arrivals at Mr.. Deals. He al
ways keeps the freshest and mos, digcs-
tible groceries on hand, with which to
accommodates consumers, and after he
receives them handles them in the neat

patch is his motto.
If brother llyamS will permit us, We
would suggest that, in his capacity Of
temporary chairman of the press convcn-
ton, he might appoint Il committee Of
prominent citizens from his parish and
our own, to provide a reception to tho
members of the press at some suitable
time during their visit to Baton Rouge.
We have no doubt that our confrcre of
tho Advocate will gladly assist him in
this 1t is useless for ns to tell him
that we are entirely at his command
The Nfindcn Democrat says: The CAP
lTOI.IAN suggests that some one should
be authorized to address communica-
tions to transportation lines for the pur-
pose of securing the lowest rate of pas
sage to the point selected. Also nom
mates Bro. Hyams, of the Sugar Planter,
being one of the oldest members of the
fraternity, for temporary chairman, with
the power to select u secretary to act in
conjunction with him. A good s,,yyes-
ton.
Opclousas Courier: That "Capitolian
Punch must be Il queer sort Of bcver.
age at least it produces queer effects;
or at any rate we guess it is the cause of
the trouble. This is what's the matter.
The last Baton Rouge CApIToLIAN pub

by u colored man and credits another

Baton Rouge"
/ THE CITY COUNCIL ANDAME PREss.-

Fathers. The tive-to-four squabblo was

addition to the adoption of the railroad
resolution, the members were q unit in
authorizing the Finance Committee to
extend what aid the city can afford to
assist tho citizens in Offering welcome
to the members Of the Louisiana press,
who have honored our city by selecting
it as the place of meeting of their con-

on the second Monday of October.
PAYING THE INTEEEsT.-A reference
to the Council proceedings in an
other column develops the gratifying
news that the Louisiana National Bank
of New Orleans, Baton Rouge's Fiscal
Agent, will be ready, on October 1st, to
