The Helena Herald Is authority for the
statement that the great Manitoba line
that dropped in upon US as such sud
den and grateful surprise, is going
through to the Pacific. We hear of it at
various points west of us and it is no less
fruitful of projected branch lines as nee
essary feeders to Its trunk. 1t is going
east into the Judith from Great Falls,
and west up the Sun or Dearborn rivers
to a crossing of the main range, and
north to connect with the Canadian Pa
citic.

Weare glad to learn that our Courts
are enforcing the Sunday Law of this

Grand Jury Report.

To the Hon. j. Z. Boone, Judge Of
the Second District Court IN Session
at Bellevue, La: We, the Grand
Jury of Bosaier parish respectfully
beg to report to your Honor that, in
accordance with your Honor's charge,
We have duly inquired into the vari-
Gus crimes and offenses committed
in Bossier parish for past twelve
months, and only find two true bills
for murder and only "a true bills for
all other and minor ofenses.
We report, with pleasure, a general
disposition among hepeople to obey
and enforce the law.
We further report that we have
inquired into the condition of the
public roads, and find that many of
them are at present in bad condition,
but regard it as almost impracticable
to keep good roads in all parts of
this parish at all seasons of the year,
under our present system of road
laws.
We have examined the books of
our Parish Treasurer, the offices and
books of the Sheriff and Clerk, and
find each and all of them in excellent
and creditable condition.
We have examined the condition of
the Court house, and find shat the
foundation is sinking in places, some
of the inside walls are out of line aud,
in our judgment, the structure is in
a dangerous condition.
We also notice the fact that the
expenses in conveying and keeping
prisoners outside of Bossier parish
will, in no great length of time, cost
Bossier parish enough to build a
substantial jail, and we would here
respectfully say that we regard the
fact of the parish being without a
jail, and the present condition of the
Court house as reproach to the good
people of the parish of Bossier, and
drawback to their prosperity.
In conclusion, we return thanks to
your Honor and the officers for cour-
tesies during our session, and beg to
make this, our final report, and be
discharged by your Honor.
Respectfully submitted.

II is gratifying to note disposi-
tion on the part of farmers to diver
sify their crops moro than has been
the custom heretofore. They are de.
voting more time and attention to
increasing the acreage of corn, small
grain, peas etc. Farmers are also
taking more interest in raising stock.
These are encouraging signs, and
mean better times for the farmers.

There is no reason why the agricul-
tural associations in this State should
not prosper. Farmers should meet
and discuss the best modes offarming
and thereby be of great benefit to
each other. The idea-if it has any
prevalence anywhere-that the mer-
chants and professional men of the
country are opposed to the farmers
should forever be discountenanced by
every good citizen. It takes all classes
of mon and professions to make o
good community. Let us have good
farmers and men to consume the
products of the farmers. Let us have
some manufacturers to manufacture
the cotton raised in our community
into cloth, thereby giving employ
mont to more laborers and giving a
homo market for the products raised
by the farmer.
