Good Words for ST.. Landry.

lew weeks ago Mr.. Westlake, who
recently settled in our parish, wrote a
ietter to the Cincinnatl Gazette. in
which he spoke in high but Just terms
,a oi our soil, climate, and people. This
lettef mas excited great deal of inter
est IN the West, and has elected a
umoer OF letters to Mr.. Westlake in
Wnich more definite information is
asked about our country, with a view
OF buying and settling homes here.
Among other things they asked the
prices and terms of sales of land /. the
nature and variety of products of our
soil; the condition of our school sys-
tenn; the question of freedom of ex-
pressing political convictions and of
Young without molestation of the
;adaptability of this climate for estab-
lisnlng apiaries and making bees profit
able, etc.
Mr.. Westlake will answer these LEFT
ters at length, covering all the inoui-
rles made and transmit it to the same
newspaper for publication. He is a
man OF education, of wide information.
and of fine Judgment besides being
falr minded and unprejudiced he will
give reliable and truthful statement
OF all the information desired from this
section OF country. Moreover being a
Western man, and having lived here
long enough to understand the condi-
ton of our country and the character
OF our people, his report of things will
command credence and unbiased con-
slderation by the people of the West
and North.
The men who are asking information
about our parish are all thorough going
farmers, and will be valuable acces-
sions to our population in every sense
of the word. If induced to settle with
us, they will aid materially to the in
crease of the wealth of our country, put
our idle lands in cultivation, help build
up our schools, and promote the gen
eral welfare of our commonwealth.
We want immigrants of this kind. and
hope they will come.

WASHINGTON, July I9.-By the

lea, a Proclamation. While Quaran-
tine regulations are committed to the
several States, the general government
has reposed certain powers in the Pres
ident to be used at his discretion in
preventing threatened epidemic. Feel
ing it my duty herewith call upon all
persons who, under existing systems in
the several States are intrusted with
the execution of quarantine regulations,
to be diligent and on the alert, in or
der to prevent the introduction of the
pestllence which we all regret to learn
has made its appearance in some coan-
tries of Europe, between which and
ports of the United State intercourse is
direct and frequent.
further advise that cities and towns
in the United States, whether on the
coast or on lines of intercommunica-
tion, by sound sanitary regulations and
the promotion of cleanliness, be pre-
pared to resist the power of the disease
and to mitigate its severity. And !
further direct consuls of the United
States in ports where the pestilenee has
made or may make its appearance to
exercise yigilence in earring out the in
structions heretofore given, and in COM

The following from the Alexandria
Democrat fits Opelousas SO well that
we republisll it for the benefit of our
merchants:
Every now and then We hear COM
plants of the high prices asked for
both dry goods and groceries by our
merchants here-that is In comparison
TO what tue same articles can be pur-
chased In New Orleans. Now, this will
never do. Our merchants must know
and understand that to command and
encourage the trade from other sec
tions, their prices have to be low lin
fact they will have to be satisfied with
bare profit. Our merchants certainly
recognize the fact that on all sides they
have competitors. Years ago the cross
road store that now looms into promi-
nence, was not IN existence; all the
county trade came then to Town. In
dependence, On tire part Of some store
keepers was practiced to certain OK
tent at that time, which now would
work disad ageonsly to thei; inter
eat. These are Stubborn facts aaa can
not be denied 10 prove their truthful
ness would be but an easy task. Let
8our merchants heed what we say, and
endeayor By every possible means, to
concentrate tine trade that comes for
miles around at our little town.
