We have seen some Of the crops Of
u0rn, cotton and cane In O great many
of the parishes of the State duriRg the
past week, but none surpass Rapides,

OF cotton and corn in RapideB parish
seem 10 be better than elsewhere. the
crops cleaner, the soil more pulverized
and better cultivated than in many
parishes seen on our trip I0IDR Tail
Last Tuesday morning a small COM
pany Of regulators from the upper pOT-

A short while later Sheriff Leblanc was

Armed with rife the sheriff started in
pursuit, and after q hot chase succeeded
In oyertalIing the regulators and rescued

The st. Mary banner" made its
first appearance last week, published
by the ''Banner Printing and Publish
ing Company" Mr. Don Gallery, Jr.,
manager and editor. Mr. Oaffery is a
young man, inexperienced in journal
ism, son Of Hon. Don. Gallery, but the
initial number Of the Banner proves
that 1t will in the near future become
one of the interesting and high-toned
papers in the State. We wish it pros
perity and long life of usefulness -

Last week, We are informed, the La
fayette regulators whipped two mem.
bers Of their organization for commit
ting acts of violence without having any
authority or reasonable excuse for do
ing so. This is q move in the right di-

serve the sympathy Of the people they
must promptly stamp ont all insubordi-
