J. w. Hewitt, editor of the Ottawa
Qllinois) Globe, made tour through
the South last spring. He says:
The South offers the immigrant a
milder climate than we have here,
with less sudden and severe changes,
especially south OF Birmingham and
Meridian. Cattle require to be fed
but two or three months instead OF
six or seven, and the expenses of q
family for fuel, clothing, ETC., are
much less than here. It is also in
general q healthy country.
Second, a fertile soil in the good
sections.
Third, cheap land in general, NOT
far from market.
Fourth, it offers great opportuni.
ties for the investment of capital
with the almost absolute certainty OF
quick and large returns.
For fruit growing, truck farming
and cattle raising the South offers ad.
vantages possessed by no other sec.
ton Of our country; the best section
for these purposes being the gull
coast region of Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana and part of Texas
All fruits except apples and cherries
attain great excellence there.

From the Boyce Headlight

From the Boyce Headlight
The convention which assemblies
at Shreveport on Tuesday, Sept. 25,
will nominate candidate to fill the
distinguished position now occupied
by the gentleman whose name ap
pears at the head of this article
Unless some sudden and unforeseen
opposition springs up, he will be re-
nominated unanimously, which re-
nomination would be the best act
the convention could do, taking into
consideration faithful and efficient
guarding of the peoples interests.
He has had more postofices estab-
lished, and secured more appropria-
tions for his District than any Con-
gresham we have had since the war;
He is in thorough accord with the ad-
ministration of President Cleveland
which has given eminent satisfaction
throughout the country.
Mr.. Blanchard was elected to Con-
gress for the first time in 1880, and
has served continuously since that
time; he has risen to the position of
Chairman of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee, in which capacity he has
done much towards having the South
erp and Western waterways improy-
ed; hence his defeat would be, not
only a great loss to this District but
a calamity to the State, and the en-.
tire South.
A mass meeting of the Democratic
party of Webster parish was held at
Minden last Saturday, which adopted
the following resolution:
We heartily indorse the course of
our Representative in Congress, the
Hon. n. G. Blanchard. We honor
him for the faithful and efficient SER
vice that he has rendered to the peo-
pie and especially his own constitu-
ents. We are justly proud of the
national reputation he has made as
Chairman of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives. We recommend that the
convention to assemble in Shreveport
on the 18th instant renominate him
by reclamation to the position he has
honored for four successive terms,
and our delegates are hereby instruct
ed to carry out this resolution to the
letter.
The following resolution was adopt
ed by the Democrats of Rapides par
ish at Alexandria on last Saturday:
| We indorse the course in Congress
of our efficient Representative, Hon.
N. G. Blanchard, believing that in all
respects he has proved himself worthy
of the trust reposed in him by his
constituents, and our delegates to the
Shreveport convention are instructed
to support him for nomination as
long as his name is before the con.
vention.

Moss gathering is an inexhaustible
industry in lower Louisiana. The cy-
press tree moss has the longest fiber
and is the best. At the factories the
moss, unginned, commands a usual
price of d cents pound. Ginned
it can be shipped to New York and
sold at Z cents pound. It takes
ten pounds of green to make one
pound of black moss cleaned and
cured.
