WHY Norp-We suggest that q
grand ball and entertainment,
with refreshment tables. etc., be
given in the new Courthouse. AZ
soon as it is completed, for the
benefit Of the Courthouse fund.
The amateur talent Of Covingtou
would doubtless be freely given for
such . laudable object. and if the
ladies, who know no such word as
''fail," will take the matter in hand,
We predict that such an entertain
ment would prove q most enjoyable
event and . financial success.

DIscoNsoLArE HYPOcRITEs.-The
President, last Sunday-the first
Sunday after his Inauguration
failed to attend divine worship. A
Washington dispatch, of the Stb
inst, Sunday says:
president Cleveland remained
quietly at the White House to-day.
much to the disappointment of the
largest congregation assembled
this winter for public worship at
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church. The edifice was crowded
in every part, chairs were brought
in and placed in the aisles. and
every foot of standing room was
made available. The immense as
semblage listened to an excellent
discourse. but the cOuntenances
of many, as they emerged from the
church. showed but too plainly that
the absence of the President had
left void which even the eloquent
sermon had not filled"
The Presidents action, in stay
ing away from church on the above
occasion. caused quite "Aurry" in
Washington society. In our hum
BILE opinion he acted wisely and
showed his good sense by staying
at home. He doubtless knew the
church would be crowded. and he
was certainly also aware of the fact
that large majority of the congre-
CATION were there not for the sake
Of worshipping the Almighty, but
in order to say they had "seen the
President" It was u gentle but
Just rebuke to those who sought to
con vert the house ct God into a
place for hero worship. and for this
reason we must say that we admire
the good sense and modesty dis
played by President Cleveland in
not gliding. BY his presence.

at this term is quite large, which
state of facts is in a great measure
owing to the short crop harvested,
and the low price for which it sold
thereby curtaiIing the planters re.
ceipts and preventing them from
meeting all of their obligations in
full. Some Of them have gracefully
given up or sold their places to
their merchants in settlement Of
debts, while others defend them
selves the best they may in the
courts.-Ierrebonne Times.
There is a vast amount of flood
in the above extract-not food 70,
man or beast, but food for reflec'
ton" The planters so called
owe their merchants for supplies
and not being able to pay. Mr.
Merchant steps in and seizes every
thing in sight! For what? Why,
as matter of course, for hay,
corn. oats. pork, and other farm
products, which the aforesaid
planter (?) could have made. but
lie didn't. Tie only excuse We
know of-and it is doubtless the
only one that can be presented-is
that credit comes easy, and there
is no necessity Of raising the neces-
saries of life, when you can &c,
them by merely taking it easy in
life, and giving your merchant a
mortgage on ali you possess, to be
foreclosed. on the day specified,
in case of non-payment. There i,
no earthly excuse for such a state
of affairs. not even in the poorest
parish in Louisiana. Take st. Tam
many parish. for instance. This
is called the ''piuey woods" conn
try; and yet there are planters
here who make their own ''hog and
hominy," and always have enough
of the. "needful" on hand to pay
cash for their coffee, dry goods,
etc, and are consequently able to
buy where they can get the best
bargains. and snap their fingers at
lawsuits, lawyers, liens and mort
cages. When the contrary is the
case, it is not the fault Of defective
laws, natural "hard times" or an
impecunious creditor, but is at
tributable entirely to improvidence,
laziness, bad management and ig-
norance.

SAD NEws.-On last Monday morn
ing Mr.. and Mrs. NJ w Dickerson re-
ceived the sad intelligence of the death
Of Mrs Dickerson's beloved mother,
while visiting in Ri1geville, Illinois.
The rews was all the more distressing
to Mrs Dickerson from the fact that
she was not wen cognizant Of her
mothers illness until she received
new on Monday which appraised her
of her demise. This is the second
time that the death messenger has
called a loved one from earth to the
abode above, from among her relatives
within a few weeks, her father having
departed this life recently. Certainly
her cup of sorrow is overfowing and
in her sad bereavement Mrs Dicker.
o has the sympathy and consolation
OF the entire community of Red Cloud.
