Prohibition Convention,

The convention Of non-partisans Pro-
hibihonists at the Alexandria meeting
last year decided to hold the next con
vention about the middle Of August, but
left to its Executive committee to deter
mine the precise date, the locality and
basis of representation.
Having duly considered the matter IL
has been determined to hold three days
session in Monroe on August q, o and
"a. and that each parish shall be entitled
|ts'txlce as many delegates as it has men,
bers in the house OF representatives In
addition each member of the State and
parish executive >epmmittess shall be ex-
oficio delegate, and every church. Sum-
day school and tempe ance organisation
in Louisiana is entitled to representation.
A cordial invitation is extended to each
union of the w. G. T. q. to send one or
more of their members as delegates to
this convention.
A committee selected from the leading
citizens OF Monroe will have charge of
the entertainment of delegates and the
well-established reputation Of this beau
tiful city for hospitality is full guarantee
that they viii leave nothing to be desired
in this direction.
Such arrangements as are possible will
be made with the railroad companies for
reduced fares and timely announcements
thereof made.
Every possible effort will he made to
secure a full attendance and distinguished
speakers from this and other States will,
it is believed, render this occasion one OF

Hon. Put. Darden, worthy mas
ter of the National Grange, died at
his residence at Fayette, Mississ-
'fppi, July 18th. He was ffty-two
years of age, and leaves wife and
family and a large circle of rela-
tons to mourn his loss. He was
the captain commanding the JEFF
ferson Artillery during the late
war. The fact of his short illness
and almost sudden death was quite
shock to the community. ~
Reduced rates of one cent a mile
each way will be given by the rail
roads to all who attend the immi-
grafton convention in New Orleans
on the 7th of August. This makes
the cost of a trip to the city SO small

the State. AS three or four SUBJ

That "boycott" of DR.. j. F. kel-
~ and Henry Bernstein, of WinAr
field, by the union farmers of Win1M
parish, and which several of the
State papers were gulled into COM
menting upon in very grave terms,
turns out to be an error. We felt
satisfied from the first that there
vas some mistake about it, and for
hat reason never made mention of
he circumstance. It is all faux
pas made by the secretary of the
lnion. A resolution was intro
iuced to institute the boycott, but
motion to table the resolution
prevailed, and the secretary made Y
he mistake of supposing the reso1
ution was adopted, whereas tHe
'ote was to lay it on th9 table. All
