tered its second volume with every
evidence of its continued success

edited and neatly printed, and we
hope Mr.. Porter and his paper will
receive at the hands Of his parishion-
ers the support 50 richly deserved.

parish has rs good land as can be found
in the State, and we are proud to say
that, for the most part, it is free from
overflow. People elsewhere, whose
property has been destroyed by the
foods, would do well to come here and
invest in our lands. Our people have
plenty of fine land that can be pur-
chased at low figures and which was
high and dry during the recent high
water.
0pelousas Courier. The weather
for the past week has been warm,
cloudy, and more or less showery, but
not enough to retard farm work. Our
planters have been hard at work striv-
ing to clear their crops of the grass
and weeds which grew so luxnriantly
during the flooded season; but it is
safe to say that young corn has been
damaged at least twenty per cent and
the rice crop forty per cent by the
late prolonged rainy weather. Yet,
the rice will be replanted, and with
favorable seasons may make good
crops.
Iberia Star We cannot bestow
too much praise on the action of Onr
town authorities in passing an ordi-
nance prohibiting the carrying Of con
cealed weapons, which has become
too extensive of late. r X
Constables are fully empowered to
search or ransack any person suspect
ed of being in possession Of weapons
and, if any found, conduct them to
the Mayor for fine or Imprisonment.
The ordinance is certainly much need
ed, and it is our sincere trust that it
will be rigidly and indiscriminately
executed.
St. Martinsville Observer While |
some people in this parish seem to
lake pleasure in raising scrub " stock,
it is a positive relief to find others,
who, understanding the fact that it
axes but little more care and expense
20 have fine stock, are putting their
aith into execution. A COW that will
give a pint of milk a day, without any
ARE whatever, when compared TO one
living six gallons a day, with some
title care, may look to some as econ
my, but snch men as DR. H. NJ. Ne
'lett do not see it in that light. This
Gentleman has COW, which cost few
ears ago $40. Since then he has
old two of her calves for 500, and
is cow has never failed to supply his
,miIy with all the milk that they
eeded, giving daily 6 gallons of
lilk. Where is the profit?
The AbbeyilIe Meridional, in speak
e of the projected Louisiana West
n Railroad, very wisely says: 1.-THE
1rtion Of this road between Lafayette
Id Baton Rouge is now being sur
'Yed and the prospect of its speedy Z
'mpIetion is good. The portion be-
'een Abbeville and Lafayette, q dis
nee of Is miles, should be surveyed
once, and completed at an early
y. The people Of the parish ought
be stirring in this matter, and be
aking arrangements for the right of
", and depot grounds. This road
'ens up the rich and fast growing
IRISH Of Nermilion, to Baton Rouge b
d the Mississippi river, and the en-
C railway system of the United
ates. The Abbeville end Of this
ad is short and over good ground
r construction, and runs through
e choice region Of the Attakapas q
untry. Many people think this, the
ost advantageous connection by rail,
at Abbegille can make with the
ter world. The local traffic on this
e would be good from the BEGIN
