Letter From barns Creek.


Editor Lake Charles Echo
In every issue of your valuable paper no
tice something said about South Calcasleu,
but scarcely a word In regard to the interior.
While admitting that there are some adVant-
ages found in prairie lands over the high or
hill lands, there are others In favor of the
high lands that ought not TO be ignored.
We have some as good farming lands along
our creek bottoms as any farmer need wish,
Our uplands are not to say very strong, but
will compare faVOrably with uplands IN other
parts of the country, and are the easiest
brought in with manure 1t has been my for
tune to see. Cotton, corn, oats, peas, pota-
toes and cane thrive we'll. Cotton is the
chief money crop.
We have the finest ranges for stock of all
kinds. Do not have to feed but little II any
during the winter. Sheep do extra we'll;
hogs generally get fat on the mast. think
we can safely count on making four-fifths of
our bacon exclusively on mast,
Fruits Of almost every kind do well, such
as apples, peaches, pears, plums and grapes;
the woods are full of wild grapes and mus
cadines. Vegetables In abundance-Gabba
ges, turnips, tomatoes, eucumbers, squash
es, radishes and onions do fine, while our
streams abound with choice fish and our
woods with deer and turkey.
We have good water, good society, good
schools and other good things that tend TO
make life worth living, The denominations
are Methodists and Baptists, all well repre-
sentcd.
We extend a hearty welcome to all honest
sons of toll who desire to dOmiGile in our
midst. With these requisites, good health,
good water, good land and many other nat
uraI advantages, there surely is prosperous
future in store for us; nothing less can be in
store for a people possessed Of the mate en-
ergies that should characterize those engag-
ed IN agriculture. II, e. II,

Men Who Get Side Tracked.
Yankee Blade,

Yankee Blade.
Perhaps the most numerous class of
men who get side tracked are those
who start in lite in an occupation for
which they have no natural aptitude.
There are thousands of farmer boys
who never should remain on the farm
the loud protestations Of the agri-
cultural press to the contrary not
withstanding. There are doubtless
men who make life business of stir
ring the soil when they ought to be
stirring the senate, and, on the contra,
ry, perhaps there arc men who are
trying to stir the senate who ought TO
be stirring the soil,
Good business men are frequently
spoiled to make poor preachers; and
there are many large and heavy law
yers who would make ideal black.
smiths; and there are some slender
and unsuccessful blacksmiths with the
keen logical brain and the shTewd
masterful mind of the lawyer. Such
men are side tracked for life unless
there is some great event crosses
their track, such as crossed the track
OF Grant the teamsteF, or Cromwell
the country squire. But no doubt
there are many Grants who always
team, and many Cromwals who uev-
er leave the farm. There are many
men who start ont in life, like hunt.
ers, on the wrong trail. They never
bring down their game because their
game has gone in another direction.
They are Ike fishermen who bob for
cod in Q front brook, or start a whal-
ing on an inland pond,
There are some men who are side
tracted for life at their very birth.
They are born into o mesh Of circpm-
stances from which there is no extFi-
cation, OF course It i easy enough
to say that o man, like water, will oil.

The BAY, La, June N, 1888.
Editor Echo, Lake Charles, La;
Continued rains and wind haVe been very
damaging to the crops here, and cotton Is
badlyin the grass, however, Think all round
up to an average. Health is excellent, and
business generally up to satisfactory stand
ard The immigration boom has not reached
US yet, but we think that 1t will be large and
permanent when 1t shall come. We only
need our advantages understood to be one Of
the most desirable country places in the
parish First-We have as good water and
health as any part of the parish. I'd; We have
as good timber and Of as great or greater
variety, and splendid streams for rafting 1t,
and good mill sites on the Calcasteu river.
Third-We have larger per cent of good
farming lands than any other section of the
parish, and better range for hogs. Fourth
while we have q great variety of nutrtive
grasses, the density Of the woods growth pre-
vents our summer range for cattle being the
best, but Is superior for Wintering. Fifth
Our lands are above overflow and much Of
them State lands, are cheaper than tlmbered
lands elsewhere rs cts. per Rcreb decided
lands Of individuals from Sl.00 TO 5000 per
acre, according to improvements, locality and
the anxiety Of the party TO sell. know OF
some splendid tracts Of land with one or two
hundred dollars worth of improvements on
them, that can be purchased for $l50 an acre,
on account Of financial embarrassment Of
owners. We don't know how near the Alex
