Men and women, here, there, every

during life. All tears after death,
but no smiles before. The health OF
wives and daugters is shattered, and
their lives imperilled by some chronic
female complaint, which is permitted to

is broken down. Don't procrastiDate

IMMIGRATION.
Editor DEMOCRAT:

So 81
A committee, on the part of the Inn
migration Society OF st. Landry Parish
has petitioned the Police Jury to make
an appropriation to aid in establishing
and sustaining such an association
within the parish.
In view Of this fact, it is proper that
the public should understand the pur-
poses and intents OF this society.
This ASSOCIATION proposes not only to
invite but to induce immigrants to our
parish. We propose to offer every fair
indllcement in our power to immigrants
to come and locate here. We propose
To aid them in location on State lands,
and we also propose to advise and as
sist them in all entries OF United States
and railroad lands, under the respect
i've regulations. We propose further to
advise and council in such matters free
of any charge whatever, and to furnish
and explain the laws and requirements
in each separate case, according to the
class of lands.
In so far as we can, we offer to aid IN
the location and survey OF all such en-
tries of lands, secured or made through
our inst,nmentality. In short We pro-
| pose not only to invite the Immigrant
10 come and dwell with us, but we
promise our friendship, our welcome
and our aid and advice.
The most important and essential
feature our organization is the rec
ord, to be kept by the Secretary, of all
lands of the State and General Gov
eminent, within the District subject to
entry. These lands are to be described
BY township and section, and their To-
cality is to be given as far as possible
This book is to be kept opeu to the in.
spection of all persons at all times, and
information is to be given, gratis, con-
corning the lands and the laws relative
| thereto.
In addition, another record book is to
be kept, in which may be entered all
private lands offered for sale by the
owner. The location and description OF
such private lands, with the terms OF
sale, will also be given, For the entry
OF such private lands fee OF fifty cents
only viii be charged.
We do not fear to assert, in case only
a few hundred immigrants can be
brought to the parish through the ct.
forts of our Society that the parish will
be more than repaid for the appropria-
ton we ask, by means of the increase
ct taxable property brought within the
parish, and by means OF the increase In
value of all lands on the parish tax
roll, and this increase in value will
not cease at the end of the year; blu,
having once received an impetus, the in
crease in value will advance with each
succeeding year, and must finally en-
nance. the work OF all classes Of prop
erty.
We see these results in many Of the
other States, why should we not ex-
pect like results here? Let us only
make an earnest effort, and success
must surely attend US.
&C. SWAYZE,
Secretary, etc.

IMMIGRATEON.

Our inimi gration friends into a called meeting
went,
To hear the odds and ends from their Vice
President.
C. C. Swayze was the Chairman by aeclama-
s ton told
The Secretary, Joe Houston, with ssfist', both
swith and bold.
The speaker of the evening, who seemed on
business bent,
Spoke out with truth and reason, OF lands for
sale or rent.
He told us of Rayne station, and his country
men out there
The snartest in creation, ..yos de Yerman la
borar.''
He said they built new bridges, regardless OF
their price,
Flowed up tlieir mellow ridges, and made
shuse'' crops of rice
That the raising OF less cotton, and our crops
more nice and fruitful,
Seemed not by half so rotton, but s'yas a heap
more beautiful
That if our planters did less gambling, and
worked MP with a vim,
There would be no Use of scrambliug-where
F everything was trim.
That our lawyers and our doctors was anow
annoter ting,
Who stuffed six monts shopping, and diplomas
pack you'd pring."
That others did to please us, SO they
suffered not a loss,-
Sell Jesus Christ-then leave us, with theil
money from the cross.
That we ought to have beer gardens, and
churches where we'd bring,
Our robust dolly yartens'' to "eat und drink
und sing"
