TIGER BEND, La, Sept. 18th, 1889.
Cotton picking progressing slow.
The weather is anything but agreeable
for gathering the crop, and consider
able cotton has been washed
out and rotted during the last week.
The prevailing opinion now among
the planters is, unless the rainy weather
clears up in few days, the cotton crop
will fall Oft, when compared with last
years crop, nearly or quite one half.
Corn is damaging every day. Should
the season continue wet, the corn,
though good, will be so much injured
that it will be next to no crop at all. |
would advise every one to try to grow
turnips, cabbage and irish potatoes for
winter and early spring use. Now is
good time to SOW seeds for such crops.
The new town of Bunkieyille, onthe N.
O. Pacific Railroad is growing fast,
there will soon be three stores there
doing business while several others are
in contemplation. We learn that
some of the merchants of Evergreen
will build at Bunkieville and transfer
their business to that place. | was in
formed day or so past that few pre-
JUDGED discontents,. belonging to the
"old slaverocracy," the Louisiana be-.
1Utc UIlc Ndl, hCIuOu pun htiuoAOlio,
had contrived to get up some sort OF u
petition headed by some of the old
stock, who, like Rip Van Wrinkle, have
slept ever since the war-twenty long
yeays-on that same "Dore," now wake
to find that times have changed. These
petitioners want IA branch road construc-
ted from some point on the "Dore" to
Evergreen. They propose to donate to
the N. O. Pacific twenty acres Of land
located somewhere on the ''Dore' in a
mndhole. Only very few, so we learn,
are permitted to see this petition. And
why, its hard to say, unless it is so rid
iculous. If this branch road is ever
built, shall surely be on hand to give
you the dots.

Mr.. j. j. Klaus, who has been the book
keeper at the Bend for the past year, left
us few days past for Washington, La.
We hope for Mr.. Klaus success i'll all
he may undertake, and bright future.

Your correspondent observer" is
opening the eyes of those who read the
DEMOCRAT. We hope he will keep the
good work he is doing for the people
rolling. The DEMOCRAT and Mascot
are the only democratic papers we have
SO far seen bold enough to criticise the
odious laws of this State, and particu-
larly so the late election laws. The ex-
cursion train passed yesterday morning,
arriving at Haas station at half past
nine o'clock A. NJ. We recognized
many familiar faces. Yours,

French Brandy.
ICltY Item. ]

IClIy ICEm
The United States consul at La Ro-
chelle, the French Port whence this
country derives its cognac and the bulk
Of its imported brandy, has made a re-
port to our State Department to the
effect that "the greater part of the
brandy Of to-day is prepared from al
cohol obtained from grain, potatoes or
beets." The expectation is however.
46 per cent greater than it was in 1880,
bfeore the failure of the white wine
crop, which is the only basis for pure
brandy, yet some of our French friends
complain that we send them sandy cot
ton.

St. Patricks day was celebrated at this
place in grand style. The dinner and at
ernoon and night entertainments were
held in the Total Abstinence hall and every
one appeared well satisfied. An historical
discourse delivered by P. d. O'Phalan
was well delivered and worthy of praise,
'Irrland as it Was and is" was the toast he
responded 10. Although the weather that
day was rather unpleasant, the gathering
at the celebration was mostly composed of
farmers and some of them from quite a
distance. . Land hunters are now COM
mcncing to make their appearance and

. the furics of the severe storm.

1t is with feelings of satisfaction, not
perhaps wholly uumingled with a regret.
that the Peep e of this state have received
the findings of the high court of impeach.
ment in the case against Judge E. St.
Julian Cox, of the Ninth judicial district.
Judge Cox was found guilty on several of
the articles of Impeachment, and sentenced
to removal from office aud to be disquali-
fed from holding Office for the term of
three years. 1t is II source Of satisfaction
that the senate should have maintained
that drunkenness on the bench was an I'M
peachable ~otfense, and that they promptly
punished the offender. AS Senator Camp
bell well said: The claim, that a judge
should be allowed for years to stagger up
to the bench in II drunkcn condition, and
there be no remedy for it. was monstrous.
Yet such a claim was continually pressed
forward by the defense; and the court in
adjudging Cox guilty performed "a just and
proper act which will meet with general
endorsement and hearty approval. The
only regret is. that such q worthless sot
should ever have been placed in such all
honorable and responsible position, and
that the bench uf the state should have
been diSgraced by his beasllincss- For
Cox himself there is nc sympathy. he
merited the punishment he received.
