The cotton season has opened quite
lively In Monroe with bright prospects
Of eclipsing all former records. 1t is
confidently expected that 10000 or
$4,000 bales of tho feecy staple will be
pressed and bought here this year.
Twice as much cotton has been re-
ceived up TO date as was received for
the corresponding time last year and 1t
IL believed that this record will be made
for the entire season. There are six
cotton houses open for business, money
Is plentiful, tho top of the market Is
being paid and a general feeling Of
confidence and prosperous times pre-
walls. In fact Monroe is the best cotton
market in North Louisiana and she
proposes to demonstrate 1t beyond the
question of doubt during the coming
season. The first shipment East was
made Thursday and Messrs. II. o.
Alexander & Co. had the honor OF
making 1t.

ANOTHER INDUSTRY.

That Monroe and West Monroe are
steadily forging ahead, not only COM
but as industrial centers, is
an established fact. Those industries
already established are being constant
~ improved and enlarged and new
ones are rapidly being established. In
this connection it a6ods the TELE,
GRAPH pleasure to chronicle the estab-
lishment at West Monroe by Messrs.
Wright & McGrath of a sash, door and
blind factory which will be in opera
ton about October lst. Their building
has already been erected, their lnachi-
merry ordered and on the way and Or
ders are being filtd with them. Tho
building is opposite Voilmsn's saw
mill, Is commodious and ample aud
the machinery is of the most approved
and modern style and the factory will
be able to meet all demands upon It.
Both Messrs. Wright and McGraih are
practical skilled mechanics and gen
tlemen of live, progressive Ideas, With I
an ample supply Of pluck, energy and
II
capital and under their able manage
ment We predict fattering success
for their enterprise. 1t Is hardly me-
cessary for the TELEGRAPH to remind
our people that 1t Is to their in.eres. TO
encourage industries of this character
by giving them substantial support.
All money sent abroad for those .hiues
that can be had at home Is money sent
away probably never TO return while
on the other hand when spent with
home institutions It Is kept constantly
circulating in our midst. But patron>
age is not solicited on that score alone.
Our home industries will give the full
moneys worth every time and as good
goods as can be had elsewhere and Ms
cheapiy. All things, therefore, being
equal, the preference should always be
; given home Institutions. The impor.
lance Of so doing cannot be TOO often
and too forcibly impressed upon our
people and we feel that what we iavs
said in this connection will be apr. ci-
ated and not without effect.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat :,
which has always manifested great in-
-terest In the material development of
the many resources Of tho State, and
North Louisiana In particular, has re,
doubled its efforts Ia that direction and
the people Of this section should cheer
fully give It a substantial patronage.
Mr.. Joe c. Gaulden, well known
throughout North Louisiana, has been
commissioned as its special agent aud
correspondent for this section with
headquarters In this city aud he IL now
making a tour Of the parishes in the
interest of the paper. The TELEGRAPH
lakes great pleasure In commencing
both the It'd. aud Mr.. Gaulden TO the
kind and favorable consideration OF
our people. The subscription price of
the Weekly Times Democrat has been
reduced from 81 so to $500 per year but
notwithstanding this reduction the pa
per has been greatly improved and
still further improvements are being
constantly made and contemplated.
Special talent has also been employed
In the various departments of the pa
per, placing Il ON a par, both In point
of price and ability, with all the great
weeklies OF The North, East aud West.
In addition to other improved features
It will contain an ably edited depart

The death Of George Melee, the re-
cult of a wreck on the Vicksburg,
Shreveport & Pacific Railroad, again
attracts attention to the deplorable
condition Of the roadbed and track of
this railroad on its eastern division be-
tween Delhi and Delta. There are
laws which condemn unsafe steamboats,
and houses and there should be a law
to condemn unsafe railroads. The
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
Railroad should DO compelled 10 put
its track in reasonably safe condition
or its charter privileges should BIO for
feited and the road put in the hands Of
some company who would do go. We
are informed that where tho accident
occurred the track is In mis-
cradle condition, the ties being
rotten aud the spikes easily
pulled out, and that the track is
liable to spread, as it did in this in
stance, at any time. Death resulting
from such accidents IL directly attribu-
table to the gross carelessness and neg
ligence of the company and our courts
should mulct the company in heavy
damages every time case comes be-
fore it with such attendant circumstan-
ces. When this Is repeated several
times the company will probably be
taught to set some value upon human
life and the track will be put in o
safe condition. Tue company has been
tinkerIng with the road pretending
to raise the track and lay steel rails and
put the track In arst class condition
for these past several years and the
job is not yet complete. Wonder
what has became of all the money and
dirt they have thrown into the swamps
between the Ouachita and Mississippi
river? They have been long enough
"fXing" the road bed and track
between these points to have built a
firstclass RAILROAD from Monroe to Delta

The editor of the TELEGRAPH takes
great pleasure in recommending to
the travelling public the Illinois Gem

During our recent visit to Detroit and

that for frst-clsss service, polite atten-

commentator to acquit an obligation
or by request but we do so as a matter
of simple justice to these companies.
