have passed through Monroe from the

turning to Georgia and Alabama.

Assumption Pioneer: Much plow-
ing has been done and some few are
taking the risk of fall planting. We
learn that several mills will be set in
motion next week. The cane will be
short, hard and sweet, and as con-
sequence not yielding much juice. The
crop of molasses is likely to be small
in comparison with ordinary seasons.
Thibodaux Seatinel, It seems to
be the impression generally that the
yield of the sugar cane will be very
light this fall. The crop will not, in
the aggregate, exceed more than fair
half average and should the yield of
the cane be not good the average will
fall still lower. This is not pleasant
contemplation, but it has to be met.
Iberia Sugar BOwl, There is
splendid opening in this community
for a high school for young men and
ladies. The field is large, and there
are many young men and ladies who
cannot afford the expense of going
abroad for collegiate course. A good
and enterprising teacher would do well
to locate here and establish first-class
school.
NO. Chronicle The two Senators
of Louisiana will be united in support
of Democracy in the Second District
campaign, and it is pity they ever
divided in the presence of National
Democratic Administration. Presi-
dent Cleveland committed grave
error in giving ear to faction instead
of the united Democracy that gave
him the electoral vote of this State.
Shreveport Times The Demo-
Gratis of the Fifth District seem well
satisfied with the nomination of New
ton. They must go to the polls in
November and give him a rousing
majority. The party nominee will be
supported by every true Democrat,
and when so good man as Newton
is presented there can be no excuse.
Thus far there is no sign of Repub;
lican candidate.
