We have received the proceed
ings of a meeting of colored citi
zens. held at Indian Village, on the
24th of June, upon the subject of
the recent lynching of Mealy How
ard. an account of which, together
with his diabolical crime, appeared
in last weeks FARMER. The pro-
ceedings are too long to publish in
full. The meeting was called to
order by Rev. Jos. H. Dowery, and
committee of ten was appointed
to wait upon Justice Gusman and
investigate the case. The commit
tee, having done so, reported that
the evidence Yas amply sufficient
to commit him to Jail. A number
of resolutions were then adopted
deprecating the summary manner
in which he was treated by Judge
Lynch. and hoping that such a
crime" will not again be commit
ted in this parish for a century to
coma The proceedings are signed
by Jerry 7. Jones. Secretary, and
the committee of ten, as follows:
Rev. Elijah Lewis, Samuel R. Por-
ter, Joseph Taylor, Alfred Badly,
Hiram Jones. Thos. Crandle, Simon

Judging from the following e9-
tract from the Galveston Netcs, the
crop prospects are unusually bright
in orr sister State CT Texas:
Statistics show that so far this
season the South has drawn on the
North for wheat to the value of
$50, 100000; corn, $50 0O0, 900; pro-
visions, Notwithstanding an
aggregate of Sl77,00O. 900. The
sum above indicated will make
very large hole in the net value
of the South's cotton crop. The
lesson of the past season, it is salts
factory to know, however, has not
been without some excellent re-
suits in inducing the planting of an
extended acreage In breadstuffs
during the present year. As far as
Texas is concerned, at least, the
prospect for crops is simply the
best that has ever blessed the State.
From all quarters and in all dirac-
tons reports come In that the pros
pect for corn, wheat, oats, barley,
miIlet, etc, was never better than ut
the present tune. and that the State
is fairly grooming under the abund-
ance. The oat and wheat crops
are the largest ever grown in the
State, the question now being to
find markets for the product. Both
these cereals are assured, subject
to the contingencies of harvesting.
Fruit of all description Is plentiful
and assured. Corn is in fine con-
dltiqn and we'll advanced, while fat
cattle and splendid grass are the,
universal rule i'll every portion of
the State.

Ok DR1v1Sa-In a country like

Ok DR1v1NG-In a country like
this, where OK teams are SO gerer-
ally used, we believe that any in
| formation as to the proper way to
drive and manage them will prove
interesting to our readers. We
therefore give the experience of MIR.
H. j. Smith, one of our rising young
merchants. Having loaded his
wagon with lumber at jays mill,
one day last week, he gave his whip
Il few preliminary pops and started
for Covington. Unfortunately,
however, he came in contact with
one conner of the saw Mill, and
snapped the wagon tongue in two.
In case of an accident of this kind,
the only way to do is to unload the
wagon and have new. tongue put
IN, and this was promptly done,
after which he made a new start.
When he lad proceeded about half
a mile, the wagon ran foul OF u
stump, which held it hard and fast.
In such contingency some people,
inexperienced III the business, would
probably haze set tire to the stump,
and after it had been reduced to
ashes, quietly and serenely move
along. But the proper way, ac-
cording to Mr.. Smiths plan, is to
get under the wagon with an ax
and chop the stump away. 1t will
readily be seen that this is the
quickest aud safest course to pur-
sue. A little further on his team
ran into thicket of pine sapplings,
which broke the coupling pole, and
one of the oxen lost horn. When
a tritiing little mishap of this kind
occurs, the first thing to do is to
make clearing. by chopping down
all the sapplings in the vicinity;
then take out the broken coupling
pole. unhitch the team, and leave
the wagon in its tracks until the
next day. when you can return at
your leisure, with assistance, make
the necessary repairs, take another
new start, and be ready for the
next emergency.
1t will be seen by tbe above rules,
which are the results of actual exy
perience, that our friend Henry has
reduced OK driving down to sci.
ence, especially when we take into
consideration the fact that the team
was principally composed of young.
oxen, some of which were inclined
to be unruly under the yoke.

As q general thing. St. Tammar

AS a general thing, st. Tammany
is a quiet and peaceable parish, and
the people abide by the established
laws of the land. But whenever a
fend in human shape, such as the
late bnt not lamented Mealy How
ard, makes his hated presence felt,
our citizens, by large majority,
have no serious objections to turn
ing him over to the tender mercies
of Judge Lynch. Such devils have
no claim upon society or the laws
for protection, and hanging is too
good for them.

CoTToN SEED On.-Refned cot
ton seed oil, for cooking purposes,
is quoted in the New Orleans pa
pers ut 60 cents per gallon, ard yet
one of our citizens, who purchased
a small quantity ip the city last
week. was charged 90 cents per gal
Ion for it. At this rate refined cot
ton seed oil will scarcely be able to
successfully compete with lard. We
have tIied the oil, and find it fully
equal to lard for frying fish. beef
steak, etc, and we would like to
see it introduced here. But the
people will hardly make the change
SO long as one gallon of the oil costs
as much as six pounds OF lard. Be-
inc a puEely vegetable product, it is
certainly cleaner and healthier than
lard, and il it was not So costly, We
believe it would soon come into
general use. We have our doubts,
however, as to there being any
economy i'll using the oil, So long as
the ente.pris.ns % city merchants
insist on making from 80 to 5n per
cent. profit on the gallon. 1t looks
very much as though they were in
league with the Northern and
Western lard refiners, to prevent
the introduction of cotton seed oil
in the South for culinary purposes.
