A Terrible Slaughter.

At Carrollton, Carroll county,
Miss, recently some trouble arose
between j. M. Liddell, young
white man, and some negroes, in
which Liddell was seriously wound
cd, the negroes being arrested On
Wednesday, the 18th inst, while
the negroes were being tried at
Carrollton, fifty white men, well
mounted and carrying Winchester
rifles, rode into the town at a gal
lop, surrounding the court house,
and began firing on the negroes,
instantly killing ten, while three
others died shortly after. A few
of them escaped through the win
dows, but all were more or less
wounded, some of them seriously.
j. M. Liddell, the attorney, whose
fracas brought on the massacre, is
cousin of the late Gen. St John
Liddell. one of the principals of
the famous Liddell-J Jones feud in
this State, which is yet occasionally
revived in Washington in the dis
pute between Hon. j. Floyd King
and Cuthbert Jones. The negro
men, Ed. and Charles Brown, who
began the quarrel with Liddell,
and we're slain by the mounted
riders, were SONS of Adam Brown,
who was killed by the editor of the
Carrollton Conservative in 1870.

HOMES FOR IMMIGRANTS.

We doubt if there is q parish in
the State that offers superior in
ducements to immigrants than
Grlnt does. Just at this time the
opportunity to secure a home on
rich Red river alluvial soil, above
all overfows that have occurred
for forty years. is most propitious
and inviting. Over two Thousand
acres of land, the great bulk Of
which is now in q state of cultiva-
ton, or may be made SO at little or
no expense, are offered for sale on
the most reasonable terms. It will
be sold in forty-acre tracts, or
larger amounts, to suit the con-
venience of purchasers. For par
ticulars the reader is referred to
the advertisement of McNeely 4
Cameron, in another column.
The Bienville New Era of last
week says, "seven families from
England were at Mount Lebanon
prospecting for homes for their
families-not az impecunious hire
lings. but purchasers of farms
permanent homes for an industri-
GUS and intelligent class Of people,
with sufficient means to purchase
and improve the lands--just such
an addition to our population as
the country needs"
To such a class of persons as
those mentioned above, Grant
parish probably can offer more
satisfactory conditions than any
other locality in Texas or Louis
lana. Soil and climate unsur-
passed, the variety of vegetation
and farm products greater than at
points north and south of us, while
the range for cattle is magnificent,
and all animals thrive the year
round, with the exception Of about
six weeks in mid-winter, when a
little feeding is necessary to keep
them in good order. But in many
instances both hogs and cattle live
through the winter without being
fed mouthful.

Editor Collar CAronicse
With spring now upon us, farm
ing operations are being actively
carried on, many farmers having
finished sowing oats and conf
menced to plant corn. Fall wheat
is q failure this year owing to the
extremely dry fall and winter, and
the severity Of the cold wave which
swept over this region early In
January and sent the thermometer
down to six degrees below zero.
The winter, except during that
cold wave, which prevailed about
three days, was o very mild one.
There is great evil which pre-
walls in this, as well as In many
other frontier communities, the
wholesale Dissertation of the Lords
Day; hunting, fishing hauling, and
in some cases, farm work are en-
