1t is natural to say 81 never saw

every summer some calamity befalls
the crops that hasno parallel "within
the recollection of the Oldest inhabi-
tants. Notwithstanding such lamen-
tations there is generally a fair yield
OF cotton, and enough corn made to
supply the demand in this portion of
the State. But the 1hree extremes
which this section has successfully
experienced, viz: The extreme cold
winter, the unusually cold spring, and
the extraordinary hot and dry sum-
mer, have wrought fearful devasta-
tions, and the country is indeed in a
deplorable condition. In some places
where the corn was planted early and
well cultivated, the harvest will be
moderately good, but the general
weld Will fall far below that OF any
wear within the range of my recollec-
ton. The cotton crop had not be-
gun to suffer until recently, but in
consideration of the disadvantages
attending its planting, and the burn
ing sun and whitening winds to which
it is now subjected, it is commonly
believed that not more than half a
crop will be gathered. The people OF
north Louisiana are generally indus
trious, enterprising, economical and
cheerful, but the small cotton crop
produced last year, and the small
amount received for it, followed by
the disasters of this year. have damp

HE RAISES HIS OWN SUPPLIES,
Arlington Advance.


There is a gentleman living in this
county who informs US that, several
years ago, he was deep in debt, that
he thought there was no chance for
him to ever recover, and his stock
and lands were about to be sold by
his creditors. He could get credit
no where, and as he was running a
large number of plows, his chances
for making q crop were slim. He
found friend, however, who loaned
him money to buy his supplies for one
wear. but still he did not have enough
to run all his plows, so he cut down
the number, and being forced to raise
his own provisions, planted corn,
oats, peas, potatoes, ETC., and put the
surplus in cotton. Next he got a lot
of fine pigs and fattened them for
pork. What was the RESULT His
barn and smOkehouse were filled, and
he did not ask for credit the next
year. He paid part of his cotton to
his friend and the rest to hiscreditors,
and by planting the same crops the
next year, and the next, he soon paid
his debts and made himself an indie
pendent man.

they appear gloomy and'despondent.
NEW SENSATION.
In Union County, Ark, about thir-
ty miles from this place, are some
springs, which are attracting consid-
cradle attention. These Springshave
been known for years, yet it is only
recently that their medicinal proper
ties have been discovered. have
not seen the Springs myself, nor the
effects of their healing properties, but
after deductiug a liberal discount
from the reported accounts Of their
curative vualities, ] would infer that
they are not inferior to many Of the
very popular watering places in the
country. The land around the Springs
is being sold off in lots, and quite a
little village will soon adorn the To-
cality. If the healing properties OF
the waters are not overestimated, the
Springs will become pleasant sum-
mer resort for the people OF North
Louisiana and South Arkansas, and
will prove to them to be source Of
inestimable pleasure and profit.
THE RAILROAD.
Our people are much elated at the
prospect Of the early completion Of
the Monroe and Shreveport Railroad,
which will pass about twenty miles
south Of this place. This road will
certainly be great blessing to this
section, as we now have to travel
sixty miles by stage to reach either
railroads or steamboats,, and haul our
cotton and groceries on wagons over
the same long and rough distance.
Another road, running from Alexan-
dlia to Camden, Ark, is expected to
be built soon, and will perhaps cross
the former road somewhere in vicini-
ty of Vienna, Lincoln parish. This
road would do an immense business
for North Louisiana.
A VENERABLE COUPLE.
About one mile from Arizona lives
Major Willis and wife. The former
is 81, and the latter Sd years old.
They have been married % years,
and lived to see their great-great-
grand child. Major Willis is indeed
an extraordinary man in many par
ticulars. He was born and raised in
Virginia, removed from there to
Georgia, and came to Louisiana in
Is49. He was on the first steamboat
that ran the James River, was sol
der in the war of 1912, an extensive
and successful planter until the abo-
lition of slavery, and was the moving
spirit in the building Of the Arizona
Cotton Mills in 1867, in which en-
terprise he invested about $4,000
As a master of slaves Major Willis
was kind and gentle, as planter he
was industrious and extremely syste.
{ matte, as 2 citizen he is public spirit
!, ed, as a financier he is able and just
as neighbor he is affectionatc ant
