He replaced the letter, closed the
diary, took up his pipe and began
smoking. The early part of this day
had been fine and mild, but toward
the afternoon the sky grew leaden
and the wind shifted TO the north
east. Now the wind was rising and
the rain was falling-a cold, penetra-
ting, impetuous, determined rain.
For want of something better to
do, Seten began to write letter; but
he made slow work of it. For min.
utes together he sat holding the pen
listlessly, leaning his arm wearily
upon the table, listening, as we all
listen when alone, to what sounds
may be going on near US, from feel,
ing that is not curiosity, but more
overpowering.
Suddenly what must have been a
very light vehicle dashed swiftly
down the road and drew up at the

ing the freight on corn and bacon
from % to 80 per cent higher than
the card rates they agreed to abide
by three years ago. Why they should
be guilty of such bad faith just at
this time it is hard to surmise, but it
does look as if they were attempting
to make the most of their present OPP
portunity, in the fear that after the
railroad shall have commenced oper-
atoms they will never have the same
chance. 1t appears to us, however,
that this is suicidal policy if the
steamboatmen expect to retain the
confidence of our Red river shippers.
We hope the river men will look at
it in this light, and make their rates
within the bounds of reason. The
people of Alexandria and Pineville
are getting up protest to send on to
Capt. Truslow to get the company to
annull the order raising freights on
corn and bacon. Our citizens and
merchants should do likewise.

We have received copy Of the
Western Farmers Almanac for 1882,
published by John P. Morton & Co..
of Louisville, KY. This is one of the
most valuable almanacs to farmers
that is published. Itpublishes sys-
tenn of weather forecasts that ia be-
coming feature among progressive
farmers, and should be in the hands
of every wide-awake tiller of the soil.
The usual amount of statistical in
formation and valuable receipts, in

tute large portion of this interesting
almanac.

At meeting of the citizens Of the
parish of VIM, held this day, for the
purpose of raising funds to defray
the expenses of Mr.. H. D. Walters
while in attendance at the hospital
in New Orleans, Judge r. d. Bridger
WAS elected chairman and Charles v.
Porter, of Natchitoches, secretary.
BY request Hon. G. A. Kelly ex-
planned the object of the meeting in a
few remarks to this effect: MIR. n
ID. Walters, an ex-C Confederate soldier
and most worthy citizen of Winn
parish, received wound in the thigh
at the battle of Bentonville, N. c..
At this late day, the wound being so
troublesom, it becomes necessary that
his leg shonld be amputated.
On motion the chair appointed a
committee consisting of the following
gentlemen G. A. Kelly, s. NJ. Bri-
an and DR.. j F. Kelly, to solicit do
nations for the above purpose set
forth.
The chair appointed D. B. Gorham,
George Wear and l. NJ. Brian COM

Of sympathy with the wouded ex-
Confederate soldier and his family.

DR.. Deal, secretary of the school
board, has kindly furnished us with
the following facts about the schools
of Grant parish, taken from his re-
port for the year ending December
81, 1881 All told there has been
5000 "a paid out pro rata to the
seven school wards of the parish.
There remains in the treasury the
sum of $273 Is, nearly all of which
is appropriated to pay for schools
now running. Thirty schools have
been taught during the year, giving
employment to IA male and IL fe-
male teachers at an average salary of
$24 As per month. Seven of the
schools were for colored children,
six of which were taught by colored
teachers. There are 2O98 schoolable
children in the parish, of whom l043
were enrolled in the schools. The
average daily attendance at the pub
lie schools was 1852. In addition to
the above facts, the Doctor stated
that the school board is not in debt
to the teachers employed, as has been
frequently the case in this and other
parishes when schools are established
and there is no money in the treasu-
ry to pay the teachers. Another i'm
provement in the parish has been,
that in a number of instances after
the public money had been exhaust
ed the schools have been continued
by private subscription, the same
teacher being retained to teach them.
This is an excellent plan and should
be generally adopted.

call for assistance.

THAT MAIL ROUTE.

Our young Congressman, Hon. n.
G. Blanchard is wide awake to the
interests of his constituents. Du-
ring the past week we have received
a letter from him in reference to the
Black Greek mail route, which we
mentioned some time since on the
visit of Mr.. Goddard, the post office
inspector for this dirtrict. Mr.. Blan-
chard writes to say that he will give
his personal attention and endorse
ment to such petitions as our people
will forward to him on this subject.
For the definite information of Mr..
Blanchard and those who may not
understand what is wanted, we will
state that the Black Greek mail route
runs due east from Colfax about IF
teen miles, where it stops within four
or five miles of the Alexandria and
WINFIELD mail route. 1t this gap OF
four or five miles was closed it would
give Colfax mail facilities to large
scope of territory lying east of US, and
afford the people of that section d.
rect communication with the parish
seat. We hope our people will see
to this matter Immediately, and we
will make it our business to get up
the petitions and have them forward
ed as soon as signed. During court
week persons desiring to give us their
signature will find copy of the Pc
tition in the CHRONICLE Office.

The SIM of 1868 was newspaper of a
new kind. 1t discarded many of tie forms,
and "a multitude of the superhuons words
and phrases of ancient journalism. 1t un-
dertook TO report in a fresh, succinct, I'M
conventional way all the news of the world,
emitting no event of human interest, and
comment upon affairs with the fearlsssness
of absolute independence. The succs rs of
this experiment was the success of The
sun. 1t effected permanent change in
the style Of American newspapers. Every
important journal established in this coun-
try iu the dozen years past has been mod
elied after The sun. Every important
journal already existing has been modified
and bettered by The Suns example.
The sun of 1882 will be the same out
spoken, truth telling, and intesesting news
paper.
By liberal use of the means which an
abundant prosI Gritty affords, We shall make
il better than ever before.
We shall print all the aews, putting it
into readable shape, and measuring its I'M
portance. not by the traditional yard-stick.
bnt by its real interest to the people.
In politics we have decided opinions !;
and are accustomed to express them IN Ian.
guage that can be understood. We say
What we think about men and events.
That habit is the only secret OF The Suns
political course.
The Weekly sun gathers into eight pa
GEES the best matter of the seven daily
issues. An Agricultural Department of
