A Proposition for Harmony.
To Messrs. r. W.. Richardson, F. G..
Hudson, w. r. Thcobalds. A. Green,
j. d. Garrctson and G. w. Hilton {:
Gentlemen-We understand that
the faction Of tho Democratic party In
this parish that you represent have ar
rived at n determination to use force
and Intimidation to control the negro
vote OF Ouachita in the interest of the
Democratic State ticket. We cannot
but regard such purpose as cloak
10 cover bulldCz;ng in the interest of
your local ticket. We do not believe
that there is any danger to the Demo-
cratic State ticket from the position
that local party affairs have assumed.
You and your faction of the party can
not be more loyal 10 the Democratic
State ticket than are we and the fac
ton of the party that has put US for
ward. Believing rs we do, that the
State ticket stands in no danger on ac-
count of the coIored vote of Ouachits,
and believing AS we do that any at
tempt on the part of your faction to
coerce the negro vote will be intended
to affect the local contest alone, we
would be recreant 10 our duty US men
and as Democrats II we were to sit idle
and see your faction intimidating the
negro vote without making an effort
to oppose such course.
We trust and believe that The Demo-
Gratis of the State at large will uphold
add justify our faction in the resolu-
ton they have taken that there shall
be no bu!ldoziug at this election. We
conceive it, therefore, to be our duty
to warn you that any attempt at in
timidation will be met by our faction
aud resisted to the utmost Of our pow
er. Ii necessary force will be met by
force, our resolution being that in this
election there shall be u free choice at
the polls between the tickets and the
policies presented by tho two local
factions of the Democratic party.
We believe there is way TO settle
our differences and TO suppress all
halshness before the polls are reached,
and to avoid the scandal necessarily
attendant upon scramble over the
negro vote. That way is comprised in
the following proposition which we
make to you, and AS good citizens re-
quest you to accept:
That the two Democratic tickets as
nominated by the two Democratic
parish conventions he submitted to
the white voters I'll Ouuchita parish in

A Journal for the Farmer.

The Western Rural, published at
Chicago by Milton George, practical
Western farmer, is the largest farm,
family and reform journal publisheo.in
the United States. 1t has pro6ciently
edited departments for every branch
of farming, and is faithful record
of every step ofprogress that is being
made in agriculture. 1t INDUCES in
no theories, but deals only in plain,
practical facts and methods that will
aid the farmer in making the farm
more profitable. A large part of it's
matter is composed of practical
questions asked by farmers and an
swered by pratical men. 1t answers
all questions and prescribes for sick
animals, free of charge. 1t exposes
all swindlers who seek to prey upon
the farming community, and admits
to its advertising columns none but
reliable advertisements. For thirteen
years it has been an un6inching
champion of the farmer in his con-
flict with the rings and monopolies
that have been robbing him. 1t
started the Farmers Alliance and is
the friend of all organizations that
aresfor the farming community. z. 1t
was the first journal to agitate the
question of government supervision
OF railroads and the first that demand
legislation to protect the dairy from
the INSCRIPTIONS bogus butter manu-
facturers. In word, it is paper
for the farmer, his wife and children
for the man who believes in justice
between class and class and for all
who believe that pure, practica
farm literature and advocate Of
farmers rights should be encouraged
Write Milton George, editor and
publisher, Chicago, ILL.,, for sample
copy.
The price of the Rural is $l.5(
per year but by special arrangement
we will club the MIDLAND JOURNAL
and Western Rural, both papers one
year for $3.50. The subscriptions
must be paid for both papers from
January 1889 in advance.

Remembering Their Teacher.

The pupils of Liberty Grove public
school remembered their teacher, Miss
Owens, by presenting her at the cl sc
of the term with an album bound in
plush with silver clasp. The gift was
quite a gratifying surprise to Mis-,
Owens, she being a comparative stran
ger smong them, having but recently
taken charge of the school. which
stamps this token of love and respect,
as thoughtful and graceful on the part
of the pupils, and adds to its value in
the estimate placed upon the gift by
the teacher.

Feeding Cattle.

The essay of the Farmers Club
published in our last weeks issue, on
the above subject, contained some
valuable information on this impor
tant subject. but let no novice sup
pose that the essay contained all OF
the most important part of the in
formation necessary for the success
full feeder to possess. AS valuable
az the lesson taught, the art of feed
ing, the knowledge to enable the pro,
posed feeder to select and buy is OF
vastly more Importance and far
more difficult to acquire. An ordi-
nary share of commonsense and
scrupulous care will enable any
farmer or person in the habit OF
handling farm stock to become a
fairly good feeder, though perhaps
not first class feeder. for there are
some nice points about the art which
require good deal of discriminating
judgement to master. But selecting
the best feeding steers requires a
special talent which is to large ex.
tent a natural faculty, though prac-
tee and close observation will do
much toward acquiring knowledge
without which to make feeding for
beef profitable is an impossibility.
An expert knows the thrifty
"stretchy"-as the droyers term it
steer at a glance. The hand is used
to prove the texture of the hide. the
round, smooth bontd, mellow" an
imal. And the animal must possess
heart and lung room or he will make
but puny eater and have little out
come. The eye of the expert buyer
must be truer than the scales. He
will not only determine what the an
imal will weigh as he stands before
him, but the number of pounds he
will gain in four or five months, il
fed to the extent of his capacity to
LAY on flesh A scrub will eat as
Nuch as one of the best feeding
eers and gain but very little. Feed
ing for beef will always be profitable
to the farmer who is an expert in the
business, but it is one Of the fine arts
in agriculture, and comparatively
few farmers master it completely
There is always plenty of room al
the top in every line of business be
cause the place is never crowded
Mankind as rule, are not given to
close atteptiVn end steady effort,
