In Our issue of last week we
published an article from the West
Baton Rouge Sugar Planter, in
which the name of Col. HYDER A.
KENNEDY Of our parish was sug-
gcsted as a suitable person for the
position of Secretary of State, but
owing to a pressure Of work, we
had no time to make any com
ments upon the suggestion Of our
esteemed contemporary.
Col. Kennedy bas been a citi-
zen Of our parish since 1868 and
his many friends in this and adjoin-
ling parishes heartily endorse the
suggestion of the Sugar Planter,
land although the Colonel docs not
carry an ''empty sleeve" he fought
through the late war as a brave
soldier and a gallant officer in the
10Th La. Regiment Of Gibson's
Brigade, and at the battle near
Atlanta, Ga, July 28th 1864, re-
ceived a wound in his left arm
which has disabled him for life.
Upon tho close Of the war he
was elected to the office of Clerk
of the District of Claiborne parish,
which position he filed with cred
lit to himself and satisfaction to
his friends until the death Of his
father, which caused him to resign
the Office of Clerk, and make his
home among us. Since he has re-
sided in this parish he has sought
no Office within the gift Of the peo'
pie, but has devoted his time to
the cultivation of his farm, except
for short time in 1880 when he
was appointed Supervisor Of the
Census for the 18th District Of this
State, the duties Of which he dis
charged with entire satisfaction.
We feel assured that should the
Democratic Convention place his
name upon the State ticket, it will
meet the hearty approval Of hi
IN any friends in this section Of thu
country, and we arc equally con
ident that should he be elected te
the Office Of Secretary Of State, hi
will prove a faithful and eficicn
oficer.-Lafayette Advertiser.

We were very much pleased
with a short but very sensible
communique in one Of our ex.
changes, which wonders at the
great fuss and feathers over the
relative merits and demcrits of
McEnery and Ogden, as if the sal
walton of the State of Louisiana
depended necessarily upon the
nomination and election of one Of
these two men. Louisiana has
many other sons native born, who
are, to say the least, as able as
either of these gentlemen and to
whom the people are willing and

The greatrefinery mill Of our
enterprising parishioner J. Henry
Putnam is now the point Of at
traction and the favorite rendez
vous of the young folks Of our
town and the surrounding country.
The refinery is in fine working Or
der and turns out sugar, that will
favorably compare with any on
the New Orleans market.
