Richland Beacon: little negro boy
on the Hbler ~ Mcdonald plantation
threw lighted match into the lint room
of the gin mouse on that place last Sun
day evening, which set fire to and de-
stroyed the building, together with
about five bales of cotton. The machi-
merry of the gin was new, the engine
having been used only in ginning two
crops we think, and the loss was conse-
quently very heavy. The boy is per-
haps unfortunately too young TO be
prosecuted for his crime.
Lake Providence Herald We have
conversed during the week with parties
who have visited different portions of
the parish, and they assure Us hat the
cotton crop is FROM three to four weeks
later than at the same time last year.
The outlook is not encouraging, but
with Il continuation of the present IN.
tensely warm weather, it may be placed
in such condition as to yet come ont OF
it's backward state. II is to be hoped
so at all events, for if ever there was a
necessity for good crop, now Is the
time.
