:
Now the question is do we need
an agricultural college separate
and distinct? Can we afford it?
This is n large subject, and | am
going back to some of the changes

We learn from the Louisiana Farmer
published at New Iberia, that DIR.
VIM. Richardson, of Jeanerette, con
templates moving at an early day with
his family to Florida. The farmer
deplores the loss of such a public
spirited and useful citizen. The
Doctor is a brother of our DIR. Glenn
Richardson and the father of Miss Aiollie
Richardson, who gladdened our town
by her handsome and smiling presence
some time ago, while on a visit TO Der
