1t was the writer's good T uune To-
be present al eof the most pleasant
entertainments II was ever his good
luck TO participate IN, given nj tie
hospi'able home Of Mr.. j. B. Coivin,
Is miles below Monroe, on Friday
evening the 9th inst. The entertain.
ment was given in honor of four
charming young ladies, cousins of the
hostess. AT about $3.50 O'Clock the
guests began to arrive, until the
spacious porlors were well filed. Dane
ing was the chief amusement of the
evening, and was INDUCED in by the
lovers Of the art until the "we sma''
hours of the approaching day. At11
O'Clock supper was announced and such
supper fit for A King. The writer
who has fondness for the good things
of this life can, in his Imagination see
the bountious repast. The tables was
elegantly ornamented with flowers,
etc.
Any attempt to describe the
costumes worn by the fair sex would
be failure, for the writer has very
limited knowledge in such matters,
suffice to say that in his estimation as
to style and elegance, they where par
e:rcelence: Mr.. and Mrs. Colvin will
ever be kindly remembered by those
whose good fortune it was to be pre-
sent. The write1 will always remem-
ber with pleasure that he was

The site for the new cotton seed oil
mills, which are to be built and COM
pleted in time for the next seed crop
has been selected, and embraces the
square Immediately north of the Mon
roe ice factory on the river front in the
northern portion of the city and
almost Immediately opposite the West
Monroe oil mills. A better site could
not have been selected and Mr.. Mere
dith who acted as agent is to
be congratulated. A suggestion
has been made that the Monroe Com
press Company arrange to build the
compress in as close proximity to the
new oil mills as convenient, which
suggestion seems to meet with general
approval. 1t is quite probable-in fact
almost certain-this suggestion will be
adopted and that the compress will be
located in the upper end of the city,
where there is always good steam.

Elsewhere we publish a sh0lt COM
munication from the pen of Mr.. w. B.
Sublett, stating that he has received
letters from prominent citizens, whom
ne names, endorsing the proposed
North and South railroad and giving
assurances of their hearty corporation
to wards the consumation of its con.
struc,iop. There is but little doubt that
work on this road will shortly begin;
and the sooner the people realize that
by theirlcion they can hasten the work
the better it will be for all. North and
South of Monroe the people are clamo-
rous for the "iron horse" to speed
through their fields. The advantages
of the road have been so often and
repeatedly set forth, that it would be
folly for us to again enumerate them.
