A Parish Fair.

Mr.. EDITOR Il feel like congratulate
ing you upon the improvement of your
paper, having discarded for the present
the everlasting politics and devoting it
to our local interests. These lines are
prompted by seeing an article in
to-day's DEMOCRAT headed Farmers
Union Barbecue" suggesting steps to
be taken to organize Mechanical and
Agricultural Fair. am not q member
of the order, but am heartily in sympa-
thy with it's movements, and would sug-
gest that temporary exhibit be made
this fall, say about October, with as lit
tie cost as possible, mere nominal tee
for admission and exhibits. | would
suggest that the old Franklin College
grounds would be suitable place, as it
has gone into disuse. And, by-the-by,
let us petition our next Legislature to
pass an act to establish a fair ground,
and have an experimental farm con-
nected with it. A school could also be
maintained on the same grounds, and
those pastures near the railroad could
DO purchased and made an experiment
farm. am gratified to know that the
Union is making this move. A few dol
lars from each member would put the
ball in motion. feel disposed to con-
tribute (and hundreds of others would)
to it's support.
I hope that the gentlemen on the
committee will push the matter through.
Call meeting of all who may take an
interest in the move, and devise plan
of operation.

Plaisance, July 18th, 1889.

The following special from Ocean
Springs, which we clip from the City
Item of the 4th inst, shows that ga
prominent and well known merchant
of our neighboring town of Washing
ton. was cup to snuff in regard to the
late fistic encounter:
"a very animated and Interesting dis
cussion arose here between prominent
and well knoYa merchant of Washing
ton, La, (who is spending few weeks
at ono of the hotels at Ocean Springs,
with party of friends from the same
city, and a we'll known dry goods
drummer of this city, who is also spend
ing q few weeks vacation at the same
hotel. In relation to the respective
merits of Sullivan and Kilrain, the for
mer is a very enthusiastic admirer of
Sullivan, as likewise the latter of Kill
rain. The gentleman from Washing
ton was very anxious to back his choice
with few dncats at seven His adj
versary would not accept. Finally odds
of 100 to so, then 100 to 20 and so down
to 100 to 10, which the city chap would
not take. In order to make bet of
something, the merchant offered to bet
one case of calico 600 bolts5 against ore
bolt of calico. This, too, the city chap
would not take. Finally the merchant
in desperation offered one case against
one yard, which created tremendous
uprOar in the crowd.

who possess good, comfortable homes, make
good crops aud give an assured basis to the
commerce and prosperity Of the place. The
books of Mr.. Saint, the efficient agent at the
Grand Coteau depot, will bear ont this as
sertion.
The lands around Grand Coteau are highly
fertile and yield splendid crops Of corn, cot.
ton, sugar cane, oats, miilet, sorghum, sweet
and Irish potatoes and fruit and vegetables
of all the leading varieties. Lands can be
bought at $40 to $50 per acre, according to
improvements and proximity to town or rail
road. Rents range from 90 to IS or one-third
of the crop produced. Where planters fur.
nish lands, houses and team, one half of the
crop is allowed the laborer.
The adjacent bayous furnish good fishing
and small game of all kinds is abundant. The
health and climate are unsurpassed by any
section of the state.
The citizens are sociable, pleasant and hos
pitable alike to the native born and to stran-
gers. A cordial invitation is extended to all
immigrants of a solid and worthy character,
without reference to political parties or reli-
g:ous creeds. In visiting Southwestern Lou

Weather Crop Bulletin.
FOR THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY JULY
Is, 1889.

Owing to the almost daily local rains
IN the State during the past seven days
the cotton andcorn crops have been in
juriously affected by the prevailing
weather conditions.
The amount of rainfall reported is
not generally greatly in excess for the
week, the average for the cotton grow
ing section OF the State being about /. 80
inches, and it was therefore more in the
number of rainy days and deficiency of
sunshine received that kept farmers
from cleaning the crops of grass.
Cotton is reported as growing too
rapidly to fruit well, in the northern
parishes, and the occurrence of local
d0Wnpours has also worked some injury
by washing up the corn and cotton.
Worms are reported as being general
in Catalonia parish, but no great DAM
age has yet been done. There is fear
expressed by planters in other parishes
that il the rains continue worms will
result.
ln the cotton growing parishes Of the
southern section OF the State the condi-
ton OF the staple is generally reported
somewhat better than north except that
the complaint of grass and too much
rain exists here also.
Heavy local rains, badly distributed,
have occurred almost daily in the sugar
region and ID the sections visited by
these excessive showers the cane is suf-
fering and crops are generally very
grassy. There are GaOWever a number
OF correspondents who report less than
an average amount of rain i'm these To-
calities and the weather conditions were
reported very favorable, cane growing
rapidly and laying by nearing compile
The great Improvement in crops in
the past few weeks has given rise ia the
nope that an average crop will be made.
6eneraily, however, farm work has been
greatly lmpeded by the rainfall in the
southern portion of the State, thei
amount averaging 1874 inches.
The prospects for rice Continues good
neIter than could have been expected,
the daily showers being very favorable.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.

On Tuesday next the voters OF
Massachusetts will vote on the
amendment to the constitution pro-
hibiting the sale and manufacture OF
Intoxicating liquors. The most ar
dent temperance workers dare not
hope for the passage of the amend
ment as so many people have signi-
fed their intention of voting against
it, believing that the entire question
ought to be kept out of the constltu-
ton. Able speakers have spoken on
both sides of the question and Kate
Field and Mrs. Livermore have been
Pitted against each other the past
week. The latest advocate of the
amendment IS the attorney general
of the state who is working hard for
its passage. The question will not
be decided on party lines as num-
Der of democrats will vote for it.
One can safely assert that against
the amendment will be arrayed all
the brewers, liquor dealers and to-
pers who consider the amendment
as an infringement of their personal
rights
