From time immemorial dry seasons
have brought forth big crops, and
this year is no exception to the rule
Bat this year, like Its predecessors, up
set the planters, who were uniform in
prOclaiming that the drouth had en-
tirely ruined their crops. The first
crop they thought was gone was corn,
then rice and last the cane Let us
see how these predictions have PANIED
out: The corn crop is one of the best
we have bad in long time; the same
may be said of the rice crop and both
are harvested and, consequently, safe.
The sugar crop, barring defective plant
cane, will compare with that Of past
years, most faVorabIy. We say give
us a drouth for big crops every time.

The wonderful improvement in the
sugar beet industry of Germany is
strikingly shown by the new sugar law,
which went into effect in August of
last year. The irst law 1868 imposed
a tax Of $3.50 on each hundred weight
of sugar, being on the basis that it took
twelve and half hundred weight of
beet roots to get that quantity of 81
gar. When the sugar was e3RRrted,
a drawback of $2.35 was allowed,
This afterwards turned out to be very
advantageous for the manufacturers,
as the improvement in the quality of
the beets raised in the process Of man,
ufseture employed enabled them to
get one hundred pounds Of sugar from
nine hundred weight of roots.-Anaer,
icaia agrieulturist.

Railroad News.
ANOTHER ROAD TO COME HERE

From late issue of the Dallas
Texas, Daily Ne,cs, we see that a
railroad meeting was held at TYLER
Texas, a few days back, the object Of
which was to arrange for the big rail
road convention which will meet al
Tyler on the Goth inst
Tue principal object of the conven-
ton, we read, is to discuss and make
arrangements for the immediate build
ing of a line of railway from GAINESVILLE
to Alexandria, via Mckinney, Terrell,
Wills Point, Tyler, Henderson, etc.,
and penetrating the rich lumber dis
trict of East Texas.
A long list of delegates were ap-
pointed for the Convention at TYLER
on the 25th inst, and there is every
reason to believe the same will be a
success. We hope so.
How would it do for q delegation
Of Alexandrians to go to Tyler and
attend the Convention?
jay Gould has now turned up as
a factor in the North Louisiana rail-
road problem. His chief engineer,
John A. Grant, has gone over the
proposed line from Alexandria to
Trippe Junction, Ark, via Monroe,
and our opinion is that there will soon
be a railroad between these points.

Capt. Chas. Green and Col.
Grant, of the Gould system, arrived in
the city Wednesday from Alexandra
on prospecting tour with the view
to possible construction of another
line of railroad through this section.
Verify it begins to look like this Sec
ton has at last attracted the eye of
the capitalists who are seeking safe
and profitable investments, and we
that we can already see seve-
raj competing lines of railroads ira
versing this promising field. Of course
Monroe will not de otherwise than
welcome them all and it makes but
little difference to her people who
builds them-whcther Jay Gould or
any other man.-[Ouachita Telegram.

Aid for the Conemaugh Suf-
ferers.

To show that majority of the
Alexandrians have their hearts in the
right place, and that they are as chart
tably disposed as any sett of people in
the world, and that when called upon
they will always respond in the right
way, we publish the list of those who
were called upon by Mr.. Charles w.
Carruth, and who willingly and with
out hesitation gave the amount oppo-
site their names for the benefit of the
Conemaugh sufferers. Comparatively
speaking the amount is small, but
when it is shown that we were actua-
ted by the truest impulses, and that we
gave according to our means, the re-
ceivers of this, "our small donation"
will receive it with grace and many
thanks:
