We are very much encouraged ovel
the prospect for the proposed coll
show next month. We see from the
papers that q number Of them have
been held In Georgia, this season,
and they all proved successful and
satisfactory. Our idea about the
show to be held here is to Offer a
premium Of flty dollars Tor the best
colt, twenty-five for the second best,
and ten dollars for the third best.
Entrance fee to be about a dollar and
a half. Zone but Grenada county
stock allowed to compete, and the
list to be confined to colts foaled
this year. While II will be conduct
ed under the auspices of the Alliance
it will not be confined to Alliance
members. Anybody a enter a
colt by paying the entrance fee
provided they live ia Grenada coun-
ty. These ideas, however, are sim
ply over ideas, and are not final.
The committee may adopt some Of
her rules and regulations.
The base bali park will De a good
place to hold the exhibition, and is
large enough for a small circular
track, though we 90 not suppose a
track will be needed on this occasion.
The committee may decide to also
offer q premium for the best mule
colt. This will be discussed and de-
cided upon at their next meeting.
When the preliminaries will be ar
ranged, Judges, appointed etc.
We hope to see a lively interest
taken in this matter, and we also
hope to see the colt show grow into
an agricultural and live stock exhib-
ition Of mammoth proportions.

voted for Mr.. Duson and the Republi-
cans with whom he had apparently
combined. But the course pursued by
Mr.. Duson himself tends to break down
the Democratic party and place the
parish of St. Landry under Republican
rule. He ian for The Senate, but did
not apply to any Democ, attic body in
the district for nomination or indorse-
meDt, but became a candidate in OPP
position 10 the candidates of the party,
was nominated or Endorsed by the Re-
publican convention of St. Landry par
ish, body consisting of eighty mem
bers, of whom were about half a dozen
whites, | am told. And if he gets into
the senate he will occupy his seat
through Republican Endorsement and
Repubical votes, seat for which the
Hon. Louis Stagg received the unani-
convention OF St. Landry parish. |
may also properly add if he succeeds
ia his contest with Mr.. Stage
it will be much worse blow to the
Democratic party of this district than
could possibly result from the creation
of the new parish, because it. would
demonstrate that combination be-
tween Republicans aud an independ-
ent having personal followers can dis
organize and defeat the Democratic
party in this district, aud especially in
st. Landry, where the two parties are
close. This is what the Democratic
party of this parish and district has to
fear much mole than the creation Of a
new parish. 1t thus appears that it
does not become Mr.. Duson to cast re-
proach against Democrats or to claim
credit as the champion of the Demo
cratic party.
AS it may be presumed that Mr.. Du-
son alludes to persons residing in this
town when he says that it was intima-
ted to him the candidates to the House
and Senate opposed to him would be
withdrawn, if be would join in the
movement for a new parish, lie should
name the persons who gave him such
intimation in order that we may know
who they are. Certainly they were
very presumptuoussi individuals to as
sumo authority to withdraw gentlemen
nominated for the senate and house by
a regular Democratic convention, and
Mr.. DusOn is more cledulOus than he is
genrally supposed to be if he puts that
forward as a serious statement.
Respectfully,
Y. VIDRINE.
