Come out this way Mr.. Louisiana
planter. There are some fifteen OF
twenty voters in this parish whom you
might induce to 60 back on Beattie.
Opelousas Democrat: Our town
begins to feel the boom of the incom,
ing crops. Everything points to a
prosperous business season. Good
health, good crops, and beautiful
weather!
Washington Argus: We are in
formed that the managers of the Peli-
can Oil Mills are making arrangements
for rebuilding the buildings and works
which were destroyed by fire in July
last, and that work on the same will
be commenced at an early day.
IbervilIe South: An estimate is
published in Georgia paper, which
gives, in Louisiana, one drinking
saloon to every two hundred persons.
This, if correct, shows an aggregate
of about 1850 of these institutions in
the state. Six of the states have a
greater proportion.
Baton Rouge Press: Sixteen men
and two women were brought up Tues
day from some of the lower parishes
and entered in the pepitentiary. Am
pie accommodations here for many
more. Send them on gentlemen, rail
road and leyee contractors are now
offering q premium on just such la
borers.
Abbeyille Meridional: Cotton is
opening rapidly and picking is in full
blast. If the present cool dry weather
continues the crop will all be saved and
in splendid condition. ... We learn
that few riders will shortly start with
a herd of creole horses and mares for
Mississippi to be disposed of around
that locality.
Alexandria Express: If there is a
place in Louisiana which has a bright
future it is our little city. Two years
ago property was worth comparatively
nothing, houses and lots which could
be bought then for fifteen hundred dol
lars are now worth four thousand, then
every other house in town was for rent
at almost any figure and now there is
not one to rent.
"Ehn Go Bragh" brand of Irish
whisky can be bad at NJ. Finnerty's on
Main street. We can recommend this
article as A ], as we bave tried it and
know it to be SO. If you feel dull and
dreary, get a bottle and swallow it,
and it will make you feel hilarious and
happy as a cricket. = Washington
Argus.
Yes, and land you in the peuiteu-
tiary, or worse, if you are not careful.
Sugar Planter: Two points in our
States history are worthy Of special
closing Of the Bonet
Care creyasse and that of Morganza.
The damage they have caused since
their breaking some years since is
enormous, and now that both are
about being closed, the rejoicing
throughout the parts Of the country
overAowed by them is beyond meas
ure
ST. Charles Herald: On account
Of the fall in price Of rice, many Of
our planters have stacked their rice
IN the fields and ceased threshing,
and will await higher prices. Hon.
L. Rost, member of the ST. Charles
police jury has contributed $1,000 to
the Bonet Care fund Mr. L. Sarpy,
also a member of the st. Charles po-
lice jury has contributed $500 to-
wards closing the creyasse.
Morgan City Review: Mr.. z. Ale
man, Of Pecan Grove plantation, this
parish, is the inventor of a very val
uable improvement in plows. It is
Of the double mould board style, is a
good general cultivator, well adaP-
ted to opening cane land, and also,
useful for throwing down pea vines
and covering them at the same time.
It recommends itself on sight, and all
sugar planters who have seen il pro-
aounce it a fine implement.
