To give to this attraction, which ap.
peared at the Grand last night and is to
appear there again this afternoon and
evening, the mention it merits, would
require more space than is available for
the purpose. The house was crowded
with enthusiastic people, not n seat be-
ing vacant, md many people standing.
From beginning to end the performance
is novel, artistic and enjoyable. There
is not a dull minute from the rise TO the
fall OF the curtain; not an net reason
able man could wish were different. The
house ought to be crowded this after
noon and tonight.

EDITORS COURIER:
Cotton, the bulk of which is about
harvested, continues to come i'll slowly;
for this section of country the crop is
only IL moderate one. [ received a let
tel some days past from Mr.. Edgar De-
jean Of bayon Waxia, in which he says:
From % acres of land on which | cpl-
tivated corn, cotton and potatoes this
year, | gathered l9 bales of cotton, 1872
barrels of corn, and so barrels of pota-
toes, besides vegetables for home use. "
From all I know of Mr. d. he is one
of Waxia's foremost small farmers-
always ahead. On my way coming over
the Morgan railroad from Opelousas to
this place last week, | noticed from the
train that great many small farmers
along the line were growing small plots
of cane, which | suppose is intended to
be conSPrted into sugar and syrup for
home use. This lead me to thinking,
Why not a central sugar factory be built
at Whiteville, it is evidently fine To-
cation for large central sugar factory.
Mr.. B. Stewart, our Crocodile saw
mill factor, continues to send out many
thousand feet of rough and dressed
lamber, weekly.
The small farmers living in the Hill
country west of here, are doing u very
good business, some of them by supply
ING this and the Bunkie market with the
best of fresh pork. The late rains made
the land too wet to plow; those engaged
in breaking lands for next years crop
have had to lay off for dryer weather.
I have heard it said that there is very
good school now on Elm bayou. The
sugar mills in this parish are busy at
present; cane is reported as giving
fair yield.
Has Opelousas lost signt of its pro-
iected railroad to Dallas, Texas. Don't
give it up, your country is too great,
the soil too rich and productive, to let
slip line of railroad that would in
short while build Opelousas up to what
it should have been in the long pasta
large and prosperous city. There is
probably not spot more beautiful IN
the universe, or one better situated

try Lay out five or ten acres OF land;
donate it to the capitalist who will first

These must ha houses to live in,
