At last, after q waiting for more
than ten weeks, we are glad to say
the rains have come; and obi with
what Joy was it welcomed by our
long faced farmers. One would ex.
pect to find, after such a continued
dry spell, eVerything entirely burnt
up and all hopes for the year blast
ed, hut such is not the case. Our
soil is fertile and the moisture laden
winds from the gulf, together with
the heavy dews, have sustained the
growing crops to a wondrous degree,
and where the land was we'll worked
the Industrious farmer may now
safely expect an abundant yield.
Experience teaches that a drouth in
the early spring is far better than
when it comes at the maturing OF
our grain, and we think that expert.
enee will be realized again this year.

In our anxiety our mind ever re-
verts to the subject of the railroad.
We doswant a railroad through our
section so earnestly that we would
do anything in our power to secure
it. We are afraid our people expect
too much from outside, help. If we
have the road we must work for it,
and help pay for it. Though Our
section is fertile, and we believe
would soon develop an Immense
carrying trade in garden produce,
grain, cotton, cane and stock, still
that fact has not becn demonstrated,
and before we can expect others to
put their shoulder to the wheel to
help ns cut of the mud, we must use
all the resources we can. control in
our own behalf.

GRAFTON. In looking upon our .coun.
try with this oh9ecti in view we think
Vermilion parish can proudly stand
with the foremost. The public
schools are kept open for ten months
in the year, and the school directors
are very particular in trying to
secure competent instructors. At
this time there is public school in
Abbeville exclusively for the girls,
conducted BY that raest popular and
intelligent young lady, Miss Lizzie
Edwards, whose reputation as a
teacher stands with the frat. We
would urge all who have girls to
educate 10 send them in at once, as
it depends somewhat upon the at.
tendance during this session whether
the female department shall be con.
tinued, and every one knows that
our town stands badly in need Of
such an institution.
