The Year 1885.

This year, with its trials, its hopes and
its disa appOintments, will soon be relega-
ted to the past. The cotton crop, In this
parish at least, has long since been pick
ed out, corn and potatoes have been hou-
sed and sugar boiling about over. Com
plaint is very general at the poor out
come Of the years labors. Owing to
the unfavorable seasons experienced, the
cotton crop has proved failure, corn
and potatoes less than an average and
the sugar yield unsatisfactory (and that
manufacturing in open kettle) of inferior
quality, with consequent low prices in
the markets.
We know of many cases of able bodied
laborers, who have realized from their
cotton less than five hundred pounds in
the seed and from other crops in prOpor-
ton.
Much suffering among the people will
consequently be the result; the obliga-
tions entered into by many, cannot pos
sibly be fulfilled and it will be a hard
struggle with them to tide over the in
terval between this and the next crop.
A few individuals In this community
may have prospered in a measure. 1t is
those, who, by iron bound contracts,
have secured, at the commencement of
the year, mortgages on the crop, stock,
utensils and all else of value belonging
to parties, who, at such sacrifices have
attained from them slight advances in
money and provisions. Such transac-
tions are suicidal and must, in the end,
prove disastrous to our planting interests
and many of our farmers will see their
places pass into the hands of these Shy
locks.
We believe, therefore, that in order to
save their property and to become inde-
dent our planters should scrupulOusly
avoid all such contracts; They should
practice the greatest economy and by
devoting more time and labor to the
raising Of food crops and less to sugar
and cotton, they could live at very little
expenses. By all means, let them
avoid all owners contracts: for such con-
tracts will in the end lead to mnch i'll
feeling and may eventually be the cause
of just such regretable acts as have
recently occurred in the parish of West
Carroll.

about 10 O'clock, the Catholic Church and
