The weather continues unfavora-
BILE to planting operations. Cold
wet and windy, outdoor work OF
any kind is rendered unpleasant
by the changeable weather. The
late Spring indicates late crops, and,
should we have prolonged drought
in the summer, the chances are that
this will be a disastrous year to
planters in the South. Very little
corn is planted yet. We hope how
ever, that grim Winter will soon
wilt into genial Spring and that the
gloomy prospects that now over
r pated by III lux p fields Of corr
and cotton, all over the parish ane
State.

A. l.. BUSSEY.

The announcement in tins town
last Monday morning that Alex
Bussey is dead,'' sent thrill OF
anguish through the hearts OF every
body. The sad tidings spread
rapidly over town, and in q short
time the faces of many Of our peo-
ple wore marks of profound sad
ness In 1873 we met Mr.. A. l..
Bussey on the ferry boat at Vicks-
barg. We were alone and had just
set out to cast our lot among the
people CT the Far West. He ap-
nroached us, told his name, his resi-
dence and we were soon acquainted.
He seemed to take a kind interest
in our welfare; gave US some good
advice. and to some extent, lntlu-
enced our first visit to this place.
Ever since then there has been a
warm place in our heart for Mr..
Bussey. His pleasant, suave, frank
address won our highest respect
and admiration.
He was universally popular. He
was beloved by all that knew him.
His warm, tender, sympathetic
heart drew around him friends from
all classes-rich and poor, white
and black. His liberality was lin
tied only by the extent Of his means
For a number of years he has beer
| in the drug business in this town
and we have heard it said that ht
never refused to supply on credl
the most INDECENT with medicine
He was a good citizen, usefu
man. and a kind friend. No othe
man in the parish would be so sadl,
and generally missed by the public
as Alex. Bussey will be.
| A tremendous concourse OF PEG
ple followed his remains to tbel
last resting place last Tuesday. ii
was buried by the Masons OF who's
Order he was an honored member
May the cl DDS rest lightly upon him
and his name be kept green in tn
memories of his many friends.
