GIRARD, La, January LIST, 1889.

GIRARp, La, January LIST, 1889.
Mr.. Editor:-I desire to express
through your columns my sincere
thanks for the personal interest in
myself and family by the citizens of
Girard and vicinity, among whom We
have spent two pleasant years; and it
is with Legitimate pride that I can say
of them that they have freely met all
their church obligations to fullness
and running over for the past confer
ence year. Morally speaking, our little
town is on rising ground. And while
it affords me muchs pleasure to note
the Improvement among our people
here, it affords me equal pleasure to
acknowledge personal kindnesses on
the part of the people Of Rayville
Little Creek and Alto, and l may add
the Sims and Holdiness neighbor-
hoods; all of which have enlarged and
progressed on varions lines of church
enterprise. Last, but not least, to the
generous people Of Union Church,
who, as usual, have fully met all their
financial church obligations, and
whose thoughtfullness for the comfort
of the itinerant for which they have
been proverbial. and especially to the
ladies Of same, 1 would express the
sicere thanks of myself and family for
the nice Christmas box sent US, con-
tanning the ever appropriate, nicely
cooked turkey, meats, butter, fruits,
nuts, candies, together with variety
of beautiful cakes; all of which are
partaken of with pleasant remem-
ORANGES and best wishes for the fair
donors. Also to my faithful board of
Stewards am l indebted tor the
charge. Now by the providence Of
God, my lot for another year again, is
cast with the kind people Of Richland
Circuit. / trust that the harmony
and success Of the past year may be
repeated in this, to the satisfaction of
those who love the prosperity of
Zion.
Very Respectfully,
J.F. PATTERSON.

Senator Gibson was interviewed on
"the Southern question" by a reporter
Of the Chicago TRIBUNE, and expressed
himself in a more manfully and in
dependent manner than is usual with
that eminently conservative gentle
man. He declares that the Southern
people will never submit to such a
subversion of their liberties as negro
dominance would entail, and that
they have the means, by requiring an
educational qualification for voters,
ofpreventing such calamity.
The senator shows himself, at last,
in line with the sentiment of the
white people of the State, but it may
not be out Of place to remark that, he
now occupies the position Senator
Eustis has held from the first
Times.

Editor Mangham, Of the RIcHLAND
BEACON. is putting in some stirring
work in the interest OF immigration.
The BEACON has always baen in. the
front ranks of immigration workers Of
North Louisiana. and we hope he may
receive his reward in seeing the fine
lands Of Richland teeming with q
thrifty population.-Arcadia Ad-
vance.
immigration is the salvation of this
country. but it is hard to get the
people aroused to the importance Of
securing the portion our rich section
merits. There once lived in our
parish a man who said he was going
to leave the country when they began
settling within Eve miles Of him.
He had made his meat off the wild
bear. and when the people began to
come in the bear began to go out.
This did not suit the old pioneer.
wsfear We have too many of that
kind yet.
