A Commendable Home Enterprise.

We have been quite remiss of duty in not
sooner speaking of an enterprise in our
midst, which is important and creditable to
our town. We allude to the wagon and car
rage factory of w. Lanham. This gentle
man, formerly or Lockhart later of Austin,
has been here in business some three or four
months. He occupies the former stand of
Rau Bro. s, and we are pleased to learn has
purchased that property, SO well adapted to
his business. His shops, both for wood and
iron work, are complete, and well supplied
with tools and facilities of the most approved
modern STYLES. He ha' several employees,
including one of the finest carriage painters
to be found anywhere. Since he came here,
he has turned out no less than ten carriages.
and orders continue to come in. He also does
general blacksmith and woodwork, and re-
nairinp of all kinds We saw some of his
carriages, which are hard to excel IN SUBJ
stantial character and style of finish.
Mr.. Lanham is permanent fixture OF our
town. We are proud to introduce him to
the people of this region, and cordially
commend him to their patronage.

NASHVILLE, LA, lee. 4tll, 1857.
Editor DEMOCRAT:
Everything quiet on the Bgnf. Bus
mess cooling down. Cotton is selling
low making farmers feel dislleartened.
Still there is no serious reason to COM
plain. With a fair corn crop planters
will be able to squeeze through. We
hope for mild and open winter. The
Crocodile farmers seem to be making
considerable pork, that is judging
from the amount we see hauled out
every day or SO and offered for sale on
the Bayou. The new town OF Buke-
vile on the Pacific Railroad is boom
ing right along building up fast. A
good hotel is needed very much at that
place, and we believe a building wial
soon be put up for that purpose. In
fact it is a good location for any husi-
ness. AIR. William Cochran and lady
came up on the I'd inst. from Opelou-
sas. They were visiting relatives and
friends in our village, and let me add
are delighted with Haasville. No one
ever comes here and goes away dis
satisfied, if do say so. You see we
have a charming bit of country. /

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1882-10-07

The celebrated steamboat r. E.
Lee was totally destroyed by FIRE last
Saturday moning at 3o'clock. Eight
cen persons lost their lives by the
appalling disaster. She took FIRE in
mid stream about thirty miles below
Vicksburg. The officers and crew are
said to have acted nobly in the per-
Torrance of their duty, especially the
pilot, John Stout, and the engineer,
William Perkins, who stood to their
posts, until the last minute. and to
whose heroic efforts in running the
boat ashore largo number of people
owe their lives. It is said by the
passengers that the escape Of these
two brave men was almost . miracle,
as the boat was entirely wrapped in
flames before they left her.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1882-10-07

Bangl she went, and everybody
rushed to the river bank to see what
it was all about. Investigation show
ed that it was the little Susie B. of
the big I'D. firing q salute to Colfax
as she rounded to the landing last
Saturday. We soon ran up with Mr..
G. r. Knight, the volnble and efficient
correspondent and solicitor of the
Times Democrat, who showed us to
Capt H. NJ. Barnhart. master of the
Susie B, who in turn showed us the
fittings Of his little parlor boat If
anything is to be gained by the ser:
vice Of courteous and afaple gentle
men, we think the I'D. has hit it
about right in selecting the outfit of
the Susie B. Having been to the
head Of navigation on Red river the
Susie is now on her was to Arkansas,
and expects to arrive at Little Rock
by the 18th. in time to take in the
State fair which begins on that day.
The main object Of the present voy-
age Of the Susie B. is to sxtend the
already large circulation Of the
Times-D Democrat, bat in making the
