The Fourth. of March.

As proposed by the Fire Department
the 4th of March was duly celebrated
here. At about $50 o'clock the Assoc
citation, composed of Steam Fire Com
pany No. and Hope Hook and Ladder
No. /. repaired to Court Square whore
highly decorated engine and truck
awaited them. AS the companies took
their respective positions, side by side
in front of the engine house, Mr.. Sol.
Firnberg, the Grand Marshal, mounted
on chestnut sorel, ably assisted by
Messrs. S. Block and II. E. Estorge,
on the grey and black, assumed their
position in the lead. At the ringing OF
the last bell and the command "For-
ward" the procession left the courtyard
with floral wreaths and banners streams
ing to carry out the line of march form
ing tlel route. The column moved
down Court to Landry and, turning in
to Main proceeded to Bellevue street
where they were joined by w. A. Rob
ertson's Brass band, thence on up as far
as the Catholic Church where they
entered Union street and proceeding
ON to DR.. Hadden's extended the route
to B. F. Meginley's residence, corner OF
Court and Jefferson streets. Here they
entered the yard and received not only
the approving smiles of the fair sex,
but partook Of refreshments which tend
best to sustain the inner man. The line
returned up Court to Landry street
and went into Main, up that street to
DIR. Robertson's, and crossing to Court
up that street to Mr.. Sol. Firnberg's
where several tunes were played. They
then passed by cross street to Market
and stopping a few moments at Mrs.
Labyche's, they kept time till they
reached North street where they played
awhile at Mr.. r. Mornhinyeg's and
again entered Court and going down
returned to the engine and truck house.
Putting up their engine and
truck they marched down to Main and
Bellevue, where they smiled at the
BUoun and went on their way rejoic-
ing to corner of North and Union,
and drank heartily to the health of
Messrs. Christ and Anthony Dietlein.
Going up Union as far as Jack
Sandoz's, they crossed to Mr.. Firnberg's
where a substantial lunch awaited
them. This over they repaired to
Mr.. E. Pefferkorn's Eclipse Saloon
and accepted an invigorator at
his hands. Thence they marched to
Court Square, where after hurrahs, con-
gratulations, ETC., the celebration of
the 4th of March was at an end.

Hunting Quails i'm Georgia.
ATLANTA Constitutional

The Marietta and North Georgia
road is the great route for quail hum
tiers. The other day there was $4,000
worth OF dogs, cash valuation. In the
coach was $140O worth of guns and $50
worth of hunters. On the return trip
they had $5 80 worth Of birds, and they
ate a $40 lunch.
Some Of our Opelousas, sportsmen do
not go out SO we'll equipped, in regard
to tho value OF the dogs and guns but
they have the happy faculty, by eating
hashesh or imbibing some peculiar
fluid, Of finding large covies of quail
that seem to number five hundred, and
when they shoot into the covey the birds
seem to fall by the score. The only
difficulty about the matter is, that the
best retrieving dogs cannot find the
birds after they fall /; but they do fall
before the raking fire of these inspired
sportsmen, for they see it. The two in
dividnals who are mostly possessed of
the mystery of seeing one hundred
birds where others can see only one,
are young disciple Of Esculapius and
Court street lawyer.

observation-disclosures Of Amer
leans seek health during the summer
months by quitting the crystal.waters of
some fashionable springs while just
as many sufferers remain at home
through sheer necessity. The Baden
Baden Springs, of Germany, are per-
haps the most noted in the world. The
water of these springs is aperient acting
pleasantly and gently upon the stomach,
bowels and kidneys. The active
principles Of these celebrated springs
have been combined, forming a beauti-
full white salt, has been bottled up for
family use, and is now offered the
American people under the name of
Bailey's Saline Aperient, at so cents
per bottle. The salt posses all the
qualities of Baden Baden water, is very
pleasant, efferyescent and sparkling, re-
lieving constipation, sick headache,

The Fire Monday Night.

On Monday night last small fire oc-
Cured in the north end of town which,
though twas perhaps no little loss to
the occupant or owner of the premises
afforded an opportunity to in part test
the expediency of our fire department..
Notwithstanding the fact that the fire
bells were not rung long enough for
many of our citizens to hear the alarm,
the fire boys smelt it in the air and were
soon making demonstrations to that
effect on Court Square and at the en-
gineahouse door. They found it locked.
but soon overcome this and got hold of
the hose carriage and steamer. In the
meantime Hope Hook g. Ladder sue
ceeded in getting out and just behind
the hose carriage when near the scene
Of action. The noise and hustle Of the
department as it moved hurridly along
so rent the air with discordant sounds
as to disturb the blissful slumbers of
one of Court streets lawyers, causing
him to break bis said~to- be- pleasant
dreams and HE him to the spot. We,
cannot forebear mentioning, however,
that as usual he woke up hungry, and
started for the fire with a piece Of
cheese in one hand and a pound of
crackers in the other. As we hear it,
the hose carriage was there first, Hope
Hook and Ladder next, and it conse-
quently got to work first. The steamer
was soon on the spot, and after a short
delay on account of the hose went to
work and put out what was left of the
building, which was very small and
burned SO quickly as not to allow fair
test. In giving these details, we allude
to the companies composing the Fire
Association. Liberty No. 2 was, Of
course, there and did efficient work con-
sidering the disadvantage it labored
under in the scarcity Of hands and the
lack Of buckets to furnish water.

hand, corn is SO per cent. and provis-
ions 80 per cent. above the average.
Thus are you losers both ways.
With the production of enough pro-
visions on each farm, cotton would be-
come a surplus, and soon the incubus of
debt would be lifted from your people,
and each year would record rapid strides
in wealth.
Decreased production of cotton, and
increased production of bread, meat
and other necessaries will bring about
a more prosperous condition of affairs
for the South, and instead of sheriff
sales to satisfy the mortgages that the
poor laborers must now give, we would
see grinding poverty banished forever,
and plenty would pour in upon you.
We ask the merchants and planters of
each State, by calling convention, or
in some practicable manner, agitate this
question until the influence is felt
throughout the entire cotton belt.

ADVICE TO.THE SOUTH.
Hogs and Hominy First-the Surplus i'm
Cotton.

The cotton factors of St. Louis have
united in the following circular in the
hope of influencing the growth of food
products in the South the coming sea-
son
ST. Louis, Mo-, February Oath, 1885,
To the Merchants, Farmers, and Ten
ants Of the Cotton Belt The South is
now on the eve of planting another
crop, and after an experience of seven
teen years it seems advisable that some
change should be made in her manner
of farming, and we call your attention
to the following facts, which are offered
with the sincere hope that the people
will give them proper consideration.
Your section possesses the finest farm
ing lands and the most salnbrious eli
mate in the world, and should be fnan-
cially independent instead of having
to borrow on crop before it is made,
should have her corn-bins and. larders
filled before commencing crop.
Compare your situation with the far
mers of the North and West. They by
systematic labor are growing richer
each year, while YOU with patient toll
and close economy are neither so thriv-
ing nor prosperous as you should be.
There is cause for these troubles,
and we, as cotton men, whose interest
is closely identified with yours, believe
we are in a position to note many Of the
evils that exist, and offer, without pre-
Stunning, the following suggestions:
/. The credit system, as at present in
vogue throughout the South, is disas-
trous to the planters and tenants, fore
ing them to pay extravagant prices for
supplies, and causing their crops to be
forced into into market with such rap
idity and in such quantities as to break
prices almost invariably below the cost
Of production.
2. After noting for years the effect of
large cotton crops we find that the over
production Of this staple is the keynote
to the situation, and we strongly advise
all parties interested in the prosperity
of the South to discourage the planting
Of large acreage this year, and devote
their labors first to the raising Of grain,
cattle and hogs, and give the balance of
their time to the culture of cotton.
This policy will bring good results in
many ways; for instance, many small
farmers, and large ones also, are SO
heavily in debt when their cotton is
ready for sale that they are compelled
to let it go, even though the price is be-
low it's intrinsic worth !; while, if they
had supplies at home, produced, and
not bought on credit, they could afford
to hold their cotton until they felt JUS
tilted in selling.
The price of cotton to-day is fully Is
per cent. below the average of the past
five years, while on the other

AS the smallpox in New Orleans is
said to be very bad those who go there
should be very particular about visiting
Spanish Fort, The Lake End and other
pleasure resorts, and also in trying to
avoid the infected districts. A large
number of persons returned on Tues
day last from the late Alexandria ex-
cursion who run double risk by COM
ing contact first with those who come
down and possibly have been ex
posed to danger at the station nearest
Whiteville, and also at the city. Some
among the excursionists who returned
and occupied rooms with private fami-
lies have been refused admittance until
specified time. Besides this is the
trouble of finding new and suitable
quarters.

DISTRICT COURT.

The regular jury term of our District
Court will begin Monday morning next.
Owing TO reported prevalence of small
pox at several localities in the parish,
the Board of Health last week, suggest
ed to the District Judge the propriety of
adjourning the trial of jury cases until
the next regular jury term. The ma
jority of the bar opposed this, as it
would have been equivalent to a con-
tinuance of all jury cases until the Sep
TENDER term. On Tuesday last, hav-
ing ascertained that the cases Of small
p0x in the parish were confined to the
vicinity OF Whiteville, on Bayou Bnuf,
some twenty miles north of Opelousas,
the District Judge ordered the Sheriff to
proceed to cite witnesses for court, ex-
cept in cases where they reside on
Bayou BGuf. The jurors from that
section, two in number, have already
been excused, and the few pending
criminal cases from there will be
continued over. The term Will be an
important one J. the criminal docket is
heavy, and the parish jail well filled
with prisoners, several Of whom are
charged with the greatest offences
known to the law.

Advertiser.
The printing house or VIM. T. Rich, 3G6

pOrtsnt and prosperous industries of st.
Paul. From a modest beginning Mr..
Rich has seen the demands upon his es-
adjustment grow until there is no print
ing Office in the city turning out more job
work than his. The reason for this is
obvicus-work is done tastefullY, expedi-
tiously, all engagements are kept, and
prices charged are reasonable. The man
who gives Rich a job of printing is sure to
90 to him whsn he has another. In addi-
ton to the large amount Of Job work
Mr.. Rich turns cut, in the way of cards,
bill heads, letter heads, circulars, book work
and all the various demands that people
have for printed matter, be also prints for
customers the following publications; the

OF the present month Mr.. Rich
began the publication OF the

of the publisher is to make the st. Paul
