EDITORS COURIER When are we
going to have good settled weather, is
the question that is foremost now with
our farmers. Some little cotton was
/ planted last week, and much more will
be planted this week if the weather
permits. Lands are in excellent order
now, and in good plight for work. If
the rain keeps off for some days farm
ers may catch up somewhat. We
learn that number of people are NOV.
ing from the overfoWed districts seek
| ing homes on the more elevated lands.
They can't stand the floods every
spring. Business and everything is
dull, even some of the politicians have
a tired, weary, dull look. Judge Alcide
Barbin has announced himself as inde-
| pendent candidate for reelection in
this judicial district. Two barges
passed down last week one on We'd
nesday, loaded with one hundred and
| fifty hogsheads of sugar; the other on
Thursday, carrying one hundred and
eighty hogsheads Of sugar. Good for
| the barge line. Bayou Crocodile has
been very full for some time-cutting off
communication by wagon with saw
mills on that stream and in the pine
hills. Met Mr.. Stuart of saw mill fame
| last Saturday. He reports plenty of
lumber at mills, but roads are flooded
and boggy can't haul any lumber out
at all.
From the best information at hand /
believe plant cane is coming out very
nicely. The young corn that is up
looks strong and healthy. Our gar
dens are beginning to grow nicely.
We planted some Iron-Clad watermel-
on seed q few days past. Going to
test them. Will report you the quail
ty, etc., and donate the COURIER the
largest.
Yours, ILLINOIS.

EDIToRs COURIER IL was Indeed
much surprised in reading in your col-
umns the resignation of our friend DIR.
q. T. Yonng for Coroner, and much
more surprised at the reason alleged
by him for said resignation. II we un-
derstand his reasoning, he was prompt
ed to this action by his faithful adher-
ence to Democratic principles, where
fore, We would ask an answer to the
following question:
Had our friend, the doctor, ON the
| 9ag of the Convention of the Independ-
ent Democratic party, forgotten his
Democratic principles SO far as to ae-
cept the temporary Craftsmanship of said
Convention did he not solicit our sup
port to obtain the nomination for Cor
oner, and being present, did he not
then and there accept said nomination? /?
