Seed Distribution.


The committee on distribution of
seed to exhibitors in the February
Seed Show has decided to allow ex-
hIbitors to select their own seed,
such as they may individually de-
sire, at any seed store in town they
may choose, for which the Secretary
will give an order on application.
This is the only solution of the
questionable amount of funds
being so small that it would nearly
all be consumed in postage if we
undertake to distribute by mail
and in many cases parties would
receive such seed as they would not
want.

With the exception OF few cases of

there are some few preparing to haul.
Everything in general seems to be in a
dull condition in this section. The
election being over, the bowling of
candidates is heard no more. Some
we're badly beaten but I was lucky
enough not TO lose one of my votes.

On Monday, the 10th INST, s. d.
McEnery was inaugaratea Governor
Of Louisiana, IN Baton Rouge, for The
next four years, in the presence Of an
immense assenblage Of Isouisiana's
most Intelligent citizens. Much inter
est was felt and great anxiety existed
in our people, accustomed BY the De.
euliar campaign waged against the
Governor previous to the election.
hence close attention was given to
what he said IN his address, with the
result and open expression Of not only
the great pleasure afforded them in
listening to an eloquent address, bnt
one bristling and sparkling with solid
statesmanship from beginning to end.
Yes, for craftsmanship, sound politi-
cal and neral expression Of sentiment
his address has never been excelled in
Louisiana.
His views on the many subjects of
Legislation, and suggestions deiss eff
fective adverse criticisms, and will
operate to stimulate an enthusiasm in
unifying our people and Legislative de-
partment of State in their desire and
effort to elevate the official conduct of
officers, do away with the Bitter Past,
create confidence in our financial af-
fairs, establish a good and substantial
levee system, educate our children,
higher tone Of journalism, bring to
notice the great natural capacities of
our State, populating the State with
industrious and healthy immigrants,
and in general purify our National
misfortunes which carry distress, want,
sorrow, and shame to innumereble
homes.
The only remedy, he says, "for these
vices lies in self-restraint, and it is be-
yond the reach of government proven
ton. The functions of the State are
confined to the health and public
morals, the advancement of what are
termed the material interests Of the
State and the development of its
natural resources. 1t cannot carry
happiness to the family circle nor feed
the hungry or clothe the naked"
"With The rigid enforcement Of the
criminal law, just and impartial ad-
of the civilian, the pro
lection of public health, jndicious
laws in the interest of public morality,
the advancement of the three vital in
terests, levees, finances and education,
the State, with the assistance of pri-
rate and corporate enterprises, will
obtain an era of prosperity, quicken
ing all branches Of industry, destroy
ing the vices which spring from idle
ness and want fthrift and enterprise"
