crop He says he thinks with good
seasons, Vernon will make at least
ten Thousand bales of cotton. Corn
crops good /; health of the good people
never better for the season. The

Owing to change of schedule
on the Louisiana Western Railroad,
and the Withdrawal Of one of the
trains, we will hereafter receive our
mail on the morning of the day after
their departure from New Orleans, as
10 former days, the want of business
necessitating this move on the part of
the management of the road, We are
sorry for this, but, as a matter of
course, the railroad company knows
it's own business best. So we will not
grumble, as 1t might be worse.

think these certain individuals of whom

lowed to infringe upon the rights and
