When to Come sontfa.

Wien tho immigration movement
first commenced, it was our advice
to cone to Louisiana in the fall,
winter or early spring. With a
experience and wider obser-
walton we have come to the concln-
sion that It is not material at what
period Of the gear immigration takes
place. There is 20 accliuation re-
CURED. or at least if there is, it is
50 slight as to be imperceptible.
All things considered the best time
to come and see what the coun-
try can produce is in April, May
and June. The lovely climate, the
orange and the winter garden can
be appreciated III winter, bnt the
wonderful wealth or grass and fruit
should be seen to be comprehended.
We trust a large number of people
will visit this section in May and
June, taking advantage OF the cheap
excursions offered by the railroad
American.

The campaign will be fought on diff

bitter than it was then. But it must
be a campaign of argument and OF

every Democrat who wishes to keep

Parish Fairs.

We arc pleased to note that
quite number Of cur State exclan.
yes arc earnestly advocating the
propriety Of having parish fairs, and
setting forth the advantages to be
derived taercfrom. Every parish ia
the State, il order to advance its
Interests and promote the welfare OF
each community, should hold annual
fairs, and with a State fair at some
central point, these parish fairs
would serve as valuable a3juncts: or
feeders thereto, thereby enabling it
to give a full representation OF the
industries, products, minerals, etc,
of Louisiana. Fairs also have the
tendency to create o progressive
rivalry among stockmeu and farm
ers, and stimulate them to such an
extent Of improvement in their
stocks and mode Of farming that
would be wonderful indeed. At
these fairs oue generally learns some
thing new in the way OF improve.
ment, or something different TO what
he was acquainted with; and it is
also made a place where practical
mel meet and have an opportunity
Of exchanging ideas on subjects
of interest to the farmer and stock
man, and as there is nothing better
than an exchange OF ideas to arrive
at satisfactory conclusions, we should
by all means encourage parish fairs.
We hope this important subject. so
essential to the interests and welfare
Of our State, will be encouraged by
the entire press Of Louisiana, and
that every parish organize and have
an annual fair, even if it is on a
small scale-for if well nursed will
grow 10 be interesting in a few
years--and by this means every par
ISL can be represented at the State
fair, where an exposition Of its pro.
ducts will be exhibited, and a fair
and impartial decision rendered as
to the merits, etc. Such a move, if
adopted by the different parishes can
not fail to prove of incalcnlable ben
eft to Louisiana, and place it in the
foremost rank, as an agricultural
and stockraising State, in our great
nation.
