a VOICE from SIC WIG.

SUGARTowN, La, April 3, 1885.
Editor Lake Charles Echo:
Being silent for some time, and not
seeing any report from our part of
any recent date, ! feel little inclined
to make a brief statement of the con
ditiOn of this non-professional but
"wide awake" farming community.
Spring has come at last, and found
our people doing nothing, and unpre-
pared to plant crop. No, but found
them waiting, with almost every
necessary preparation to begin busi-
ness, for the obstruction of those long
continued freezing winds, SO unwel.
come in our cline, and eager to See
that genial sunshine, and welcome her
home again, to clOthe our bare fields
with yerdaney, and mantle the sur
rounding forest with her green foliage.
And now that the farmer in this
vicinity is well up with the times,
is very evident, when we see almost
every acre of "old land broken
up, and seeded down TO corn or cot
ton. And although stock-feed is a
scarce article in this country, owing
10 the last year'ssfailure Of crops, yet
it seems to have had but little power
TO discourage SO far.
The same lesson which teaches in
dustry teaches frugality also, without
which few ever attain TO opulence.

Judge s. ID. Read and District At
tcrney a. J. Kearuey have returned
from Vernon, the former last Satur-
day and the latter last Monday, where
they had been holding court, and we
extract the following from the Con-
deaser relative 10 the proceedings /:
District Court convened here last
Monday morning. After emPanneling
the Grand Jury the petit jury was dis
charged. The Grand Jury remained
in session one day and half, and
owing TO the heavy rain, making it
impossible for them TO get witnesses
for several days, they adjourned"
Both Judge Read and District At
torney Kearney report that much in
terest is being manifested by the
good people Of our sister parish in
farming matters, but the backward
season has operated much to their
disadvantage. Still all express them
selves as almost certain of good crops,
notwithstanding this setback, if the
season be favorable one.
