OF news. Such being the case, it WAS not
only possible, hut probable; nay, 1t would
have been marvellous II 1t had not been 8
certainty that TIE GAZETTE would be
misinformed as to the connection OF one
or more persons with this close political
corporation. Approaching this fact, THE
GAZETTE sought to be extremely careful
and not to print the name Of any one,
whose identity with the order was not
attested by more than one informant.
This excessive care WAS suggested by the
knowledge that such An order would
neglect no precaution to conceal its tx

frequently confused by mention OF "the

At the usual hour the Literary and
Dramatic Association met at their hall
Tuesday night, and after the transac-
ton OF business, enjoyed couple of
hours i'll the may dance and social
intermingling. AS the day had been a
rainy one and the weather still threat
ening, we had about concluded not to
attend the meeting, and so expressed
ourself to representative of the Cour
Ter; but fearing that our indisposition
might cause us to miss what others
would possibly enjoy, we polished up
our brogans and hied us around. 1t
having been merely stated by Prof.
Mayer, President, that after the regular
routine we would have music and a
little "kick up" we were agreeably
surprised to see a number of ladies
coming in, and more SO, when we real
lied that they were mot alone; in adj
dition to their escorts, and in our esti-
NATION completely eclipsing them, was
the abundance and variety of cakes, re-
freshments, ETC., which were visible
soon after their arrival. Though COM
paratively few engaged in the dance,
they were none the less ardent, and all
seemed forgetful Of the swiftly passing
hours. The fact is, that from begin
ming to end beauty, smiling faces and
fluent speech graced the occasion. No
one, it matters not how ditfidcnt, timid
or indisposed could resist the tempta-
lions offered by sweet Hasic and pref
ty women to join in the dizzy Whirl.
Even to your humble servant and 9TH
ers of the press who are not connoisseurs
were induced to try the fantastic toe
till bewillercd by their many petty
mistakes i'll dancing. Well, calls well
that ends WE'LL" Every body enjoyed
themselves hugely and went home re-
jsicing. We know we did, because a
wnsome lassie had ourarm, ana in each
hand We held cake.
The following is the report Of Prof.
Stubbs, Director Of the Calhoun Ex
pertinent Station, of the work under his
and Mr.. L. NJ. CaIhoun's charge:
Since my last report, under instruc-
tions from your bureau, this station has
been located at Calhoun, in North Lou
isiana. The citizens of Ouachita gene
rously donated land, buildings and
team. The work of organization-be
gun quite late-has been pushed with
great vigor by the manager, Mr.. L. NJ.
Calhoun, acting under my Instructions
Through his energy, experiments IN
cotton, corn, forage crops, peas and
vegetables, have been successfully plant
ed. The buildings are in process of
erection, the fencing is nearly COM
pleted, and great deal Of clearing has
already been accomplished. A few
more months work and this station, it
is hoped, will become a pride and pleas
ure to every farmer in North Louisiana.

One day last week, Henry Sumach,
wiYo is far famed among the colored
people as trader and judge Of of horse
flesh, met certain tightening deal
er Of our town, and hearing that the
latter was the owner Of a mule colt,
bantered him for trade, thusly: Il
will give you my colt, sight an
unseen for yourn, an there's no
tradin back, nuther." Mr.. - told him
that he didn't like to part with his colt,
It having been raised around there, but
for the sake OF change, he would close
the trade with him on the spot, pro-
yided he, Henry, would bring his ami
NAL in and deliver him as soon as pos
sibIe. Sumach said before witnesses
that it was all right, and last Monday
morning brought in and delivered a
ragged looking colt to Mr.. The lat
ter said that it was a "ruff-looking
ching" but that the old saying was, "a
trade is trades e. On the formers
agreeing with him, Mr.. then brought
out and turned over to its new owner
what was supposed to be year-oid
mule-colt. Samach looked at it rath-
er closely, and like Little Red Riding
Uoodr asked what made its ears SO
long. The answer was, He was born
that way didn't you ever notice how
large a baby's ears are ~ Sumach
nodded, and went off dragging his new
i. acquired property down street at the
end of a securely tied hemp rope. He
was met by a friend who asked him
where he had been. S told the enquirer
that he had just traded for mule colt
and was taking him home. His friend
said sUncle Sumach, amt you got no
better sense an to trade fer eT Jaekass 2
Use kuowed dat thing fer de longest"
Snnacls realized his mistake and went
swiftly back to try and recover his colt,
nut inasmucil as the owner had not rep
resented his to be a mule colt, he had to
make the best of his bargain.
