St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1885-03-14

James D. Backus, of Hartford, Per-
auimans county, North Carolina, wants
information of his uncle, or of his fam
lily if he is dead, who was born in Chow
an county, North Carolina, about seven
ty-four years ago, and Went when a
young man, with Gen. Richard Brown
rig, to Columbus, Miss. He left the
latter place, in 1916, with a person
named Lock, for Louisiana; since
which time his relatives in North Caro-
lima have lost trace of him. 1t is stated
that be came to the prairie part Of
Louisiana. If any of our readers knows
any person or family named Backus, we
hope they will report to us.
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1885-03-14

We publish the bill making an appro-
priation for fifty thousand dollars for a
public building in our town. 1t is evil
dent that Hon. Mr.. Lewis must have
been greatly favored by the friendship
of the speaker and members of the
House or he could not possibly have
gotten the bill through as he did.
There were near thousand bills before
Congress many Of character similar
to the one in question and to have sec
ured favorable action upon that bill r.
that particular time and secured prefer
ence for it is q feat of which Mr.. Lewis
may wall feel proud and of which our
town people have reason to congratu-
late themselves.
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1885-03-14

Court is in session and the Grand
Jury have done very efficient work.
We learn that all matters brought be-
fore that body have been thoroughly
sifted, so as to cut out work that will
stand the test of trial before the
petit juries, and thus save expenses to
the parish. John N. Ogden Esq. our
efficient District Attorney is actively
and vigorously attending to his respon-
sible duties, and will no doubt ably
supplement the work of the Grand
Jury in behalf of the State before the
petit juries during the pending term
of court.

GUMMY POINT, PINE PRAIRIE !
March 9th, 1856. {

}
Editor Democrat:
Early corn planting this season has
not been generally successful as most
of that planted ten days and two weeks
ago about here, is being plowed up.
Farmers are preparing to plant full
crops of corn and cotton increasing
their cultivated acreage over last year.
The new fences discernable in this part
of the parish indicate determined and
healthy improvement. For at least a
full month the wind has been from the
North and weather unfavorable for
farming purposes and much against
stock, some cattle dying from the want
| of feed and shelter. like your news
paper for the sound democratic views
expressed on political questions and for
the general information it contains and
wish every family in the parish took
copy of it for general reading. On the
subject of immigration cannot see the
danger you seem to think possible from
prOmiscuOus and unlimited immigra-
tiOn." 1t is difficult to believe it pos
sible more Objectionable immigration
can come into Louisiana than her peo-
pie and laws can govern and keep in
lawful order. The constitution of the
United States, if | remember rightly,
was adopted in 1890 when the State of
Virginia had, in round numbers, 100000
people within her borders and the State
of New York about $4,000 population.
These States are nearly equal in area,
Virginia having the advantage in eli
mate and fully New York's equal in
rivers harbors, minerals and agricultu-
raj productions. New York encouraged
immigration. am not aware Virginia
held out such encouragement and both
were then slave States. Slavery was
not l think entirely extinguished in
New York until 1926. In 1860 seventy
years after the adoption of the consti-
tuition Virginia's population had doub-
led and reached over 1 100000 while the
population of New York had increased |
to nearly 100000 and with population
came labor and labor produced wealth |
and greatness.

very Remarkable Recovery

Mr.. Geo. V. Willing, of Manchester,
Mich, writes "My wife has been al
most helpless for five years, so helpless
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. She used two bottles of Electric
Bitters, and is so much improved. that
she is able now to do her own work"
Electric Bitters will 90 all that is
claimed for 6ham. Hundreds Of testi-
