Gov. McEnery has signed the death
warrant Of John Alexander, colored,
who killed his wife on the Stanton
plantation, Just below Algiers, last
February. The date of execution has
been fixed for December IL, 1885.
Shreveport Times The parishes in
this section of the State are doing yir-
tnally nothing towards being repre-
scented al the Exposition. Meetings in
the interest of exhibits are hnt SHINY
attended, and there seems to be
deadaess of interest. We record this
with regret and shame.
The New Iberia Sugar Boloi says
Cotton is being picked with great
energy, and with two weeks more of
favorable weather the fields could be
cleared OF that which is now open.
The sugar planters are cutting and
planting cane, and in few days more
the rolling season will fairly com
mcnce. The cane is very promising.
Sabine .Southron Our parish is
orderly, peaeeable and quiet, and en-
tirely free from all crime. The fact is
since the ordinance of local option has
been il force we are happy to state
that we have the most peacesble peo-
pie in Southwestern Louisiana. 1t is
now probable that the whisky system
will stand abolished for years to come,
If not ad minimum.
Morgan City Rerie,g: 1t is all hurry
on the different sugar plantations,
preparing for the grinding season. In
most cases the mill is ready to start,
but the planter does not ike to cut
the cane as long as lie can help it.
The stalk is yet quite green, and every
day Of this kind of weather increases
its sweetness. There will be rousing
crop this year in ST. Mary.
Pointo Coupec Banner: The crop
of peoans in this neighborhood is very
fine and We presume. there will be
nearly 1000 or 1900 barrels shipped
from this section. We noticed from
our late papers, that new Louisiana
peeans are selling for 10 and Csc. per
pound. If little more attention was
paid to the pecan growth here, in
many instances it wourd prove more
valuable than cotton and cane.
iberia Sugar-B Olcl' Thank kind
Providence, we are having weeks of
clear, cool and most favorable weather
the very kind to ripen the cane,
which will soon be rich in saccharine
matter, and to permit lice planters
and cotton piekers to finish their
work. Corn has been mostly gath
cred, and, as n whole, is a bountiful
crop hay has at last been made, and
we will yet have an abundance.
Amite City Independent: Last Tues
day night, or rather "Wednesday morn
ing about . o'clock, mob of unknown
men went 10 the Jail in this place, and
with crowbars and other instruments
wrenched the locks from the doors,
and let ont all The prisoners. Their
CHEF aim seems to have been to re-
lease Jerry Hagan, who was awaiting
trial for shooting and killing Ike
Daggs, negro, ut Hammond, last
summer.
Last Sunday JudgeJacks' residence,
at Natchitocbes caught fire, and among
those who assisted in extinguishing
the flames WAS negro, who was dunk.
After the fire was out, the negro, in
staggering along the roof, fell To the
sidewalk, distance Of over twenty
feet. He landed squsrely on the crown
of HE head, and arose with the remark
that he como very near getting hurt.
This episode is regarded as good
reason why prohibition shonldbe voted
down. =.
The Thirteenth Connecticut Volnn-
teers, on 10th inst. returned TO the ST.
Mary Cannoneers the Battery Gnidon,
captured al Irish Bend on April Is,
1868, all taitered ald torn, together
with magnificent new one. The pre-
scntation was made AT Franklin, in the
presence of a vast concourse of peo-
Die. by Mrs. Louise E. Chambers,
aponsor Of the old flag in 1861, in a
splendid patriotic address, which was
similarly responded 10 by Capt. MinOs
r. Gordy.
Terrebonne Times: Sugar making
has become general in this parish
among the planters. Tie yield in
iuicc from cane is eqnalto that of any
previous year, considering The green
ness Of thc cane and with the cool,
dry weather we arc now having, IL is
expected that the cane will ripef rap
idly, when The yield in saccharine mat
Ter viii greatly increase. As yet we
have heard ofno complaint from plan
