ROUGH DOINGs I'm WEST FELICI.
ANA.

ANA.
Through an editorial in the Felici-
ana Sentinel, the startling informa-
ton reaches us that some of the West
Feliciana people have gotten it into
their heads to prevent wealthy mer-
chants from purchasing lands and in
vesting their means in planting on
an extensive scale; for the alleged
reason that such men having ready
means at their command will attract
to their places the pick among the
laborers of their parish.
This deplorable idea has led some
parties to inaugurate reign OF ter
Tor, the effect of which will be to
cause moneyed men to invest their
surplus capital in localities offering
better guarantees for the protection
OF life ana property.
The Sentinel tells us that few
nights ago, q lot Of lumber for build
ing purposes was deliberately burn
cd on a place owned by Nh. Freyhan,
a public spirited merchant of ST.
Francisville, who had intended to
apply his earnings towards the devel-
opment of the agricultural industries
ofthe parish in which he has amassed
a considerable fortune.
Strange to say, that instead of be-
ing applauded for the good example
he is setting to that too numerous
class of men who "pull up stakes'
from q community, when they have
gathered suficiency, Mr.. Freyhan,
is set upon and deferred from the
praiseworthy object of turning idle
'dcIeS lut0 productive nelQS.
We can't believe that the good peo-
pie of West Feliciana are going to
give countenance to so destructive a
movement, which must soon result in
driving away from it's limits not
only capitalists, but the laborers, who
will feel themselves under a subiec-
ton which does not permit them to
select their employers.
It's no use to talk about attracting
emigrants to any section where their
property is liable to fall prey to the
torch ofthe incendiary, SO soon as the
natives of the soil perceive that they
are acquiring wealth.
Such movements are absolutely
suicidal to the development of the
resources Of our State, and go to JUS
tify the many ISLANDERS which have
caused the current of emigra-
ton to pass right through us
and settle itself in the comparatively
sterile wilds of Texas.
Louisiana can't afford to bear this
stigma, now that she has freed her.
self from the rule of the carpet-bas-
ger.
The patriotic people of West Fell
clana, We are sure, will not allow the
car of Jugernaut to be thrown across
the pathway of the Chariot Of Pro-
gress; which, at last, is moving down
upon the South and Louisiana, freight
ed with a prosperity never before
equalled. Let them bear in mind
that its heralding lights always turn

MASON CITY, Ia, Aug. 24.-Business is
dull, farmers busy, weather rainy, and the
combined intellect of ITO school marms' is
now aggregated in the city. The Normal in
stitute commenced on Monday last. Prof.
Hart, principal, of Mason City schools, is the
conductor. Associated with him are a full
corps Of able instructors. This Normal irsti-
tute bids fair to be the best one we have ever
had in the county. The enrolment of the
first day was nlnety-two,the largest attendance
ever attained at the beginning of any normal.
Mr. Klnefelter, our county superintendent,
is sparing neither care nor money to make the
institute beneficial to ALL
Many OF our citizens are soiourning at Clear
lake during the hot weather. We have passed
two or three days with them at their tempo
rary homes, and, judging from appearances,
they are having a jolly time.
Small grain has been an almost total failure
do, of last four years.) Many farmers de-
clare their intention of raising no more small
grain, and 60 into stock raising wholly. This
section is decidedly corn growing one, while
for several years past the wheat crop failed,
we have always had good corn crop. This
is certainly sensible movement, if all farm
ers were to adopt this plan.
There was rumor few days since that the
B. G. K. q n. r. r. had purchased the track
of the @. r. r. of l., from Mason CITY to
