We were pleased to welcome to our sane
tun1, last Saturday, our esteemed friend
and veteran Journalist, Col. Geo. w. Nc
Cranie, of the Ouachita Telegraph, who is
on a brief visit to our city. The pen of Col:
McCranie has traced many stirring and
effective lines in behalf of Democratic
supremacy in Louisiana, and no man is
firmer in the belief to-day that her future
depends upon Democratic unity and con-
cord. The State and it's press have need
Tor the services of men of his infexible con-
victions. and we trust that his trenchant
pen will continue for many years to hew
the way for the unwavering Democracy
across tho vagaries with which tho self
constituted wiseacres of the period would
bar it's progress and permanency.-Baton
