There may by three cornered fight
yet.
The smelter at Scammonville is be-
ing rebuilt.
The original package houses have
suspended business.
Many democrats feel that the ALI
ance folks ought to have acted with
prudence commensurate with their
zeal.
The recent rains, it is said, have act
ed as powerful stimulus to business.
People of all classes are hopeful of bet
ter times this fall than we have had
for several years. Crops of all kinds
are better than for last year, and the
advance in prices of farm products is
such that the amount of money in the
county is much greater, even now,
than in December, 1889, after large
part of the crops of that year were in
market. Southeastern Kansas has
many redeeming features, and one is
that it takes whale of a drouth to
kill it out. II man is looking for a
place in which to cast his lot, he can
readily find a large number worse
than Cherokee county. Bear this in
mind, gentle reader, and don't be dis
couraged.
From the Advocate
The state board of equalization has
lowered the valuation of taxable prop
erty of Cherokee county, both real and
personal, excepting railroad property,
8 per cent. This is a reduction of
about 100000 for the county and will
be quite relief to the tax payers.
The fax crop ofthis county this sea-
son is in the neighborhood of 10000
bushels. The crop averaged about
ten bushels per acre, and the price
realized is from $1.00 to $1.10 BUSH
ell. This will help the farmers OF
Cherokee county considerably in the
absence of a full corn crop.

With this issue Of the Echo my
connection With the paper As owner

The EcHo, with All Der interests,

our beautifal young city and the pro
gressive parish Of Calcasieu 1.-THE In

into the hands of the Lake Charles
Echo Publishing Co., who, ] trust
may prove themselves better fitted
and qualified to direct its columns in
advocacy Of the real interests of our
city, the neighboriug towns and of
Southwest Louisiana.
Above all, I sincerely hope that the
interest of the Democratic party, to
which the EoHo has ever been true
and labored to build up, will not
be less Vigilantly guarded.
To our patrons, who have so nobly
assisted US during so many long years
by their patronage and encouraging
words in our struggle to build up the
Echo to a position of usefulness, and
to piece our section of country on a
solid and sure footing Of prosperity
to those who have so materially con
tributed to identify the Echo with
the history of Louisiana, and, through
it, helped to work out the destiny OF
our own state, we are particularly
grateful, and hope that they have
been and will continue to be the
happy participants of that prosperity
which now brightens our whole couD-
try.
I cannot part with the press without
expressing my realization of the many
courtesIes extended me in the course
Of my editorial life, and to the press
generally, and to those who have had
pleasant business connection with the
Echo IN particular, l wish prosperity

Commercial Advertiser.
The ghost of the Rev. T. Starr King
married a couple at San Francisco on
Sunday night. The spirit of the once
celebrated Clergyman and lecturer dln
not appear IN person, but was repre-
scented by a spiritua!ist medium, who
assured the lovers that they were as
firmly tied together as if Mr.. King
had materialized and twisted the nup
tiaI knot with his ow, hand. Marriage
by proxy has hitherto been performed
by representatives of the principals to
the contract or by the representative
of one of them. The San Francisc"
wedding is probably the first in which
the clergyman, and he a ghost, has
been a proxy There has been al
least one spectur bridegroom, but new
er before, so far as we know, has a
ghost projected itself inIo the flesh in
order to make two lovers suprcmeIy
blessed. If such a proceeding should
turn out TO be illegal, no sheriff would
ever be able to reach the offending
ghost with 4 writ or an officer.

Reuuion o. Hlle Blue nlad T,lae
GrHy.


We acknowledge receipt Of an In
yitaiion from the association Of the
Blue and the Gray, Of yicksburg,
Miss, to attend reunion Of survivors
of the Confederate and Federal armies
Of the tate war, at which ii is proposed
to unite all war veterans of both
north and south into combined nu-
cleus Of peace, and through them TO
efface the last vestiges Of distrust
which exists between the once divided
sections Of our country, to pledge the
patriotic support of those who have
bore the bront Of battle to the perma-
nent maintenance of one reunited,
liberty-lovlug, glorious republic.
The movement, iuauguratod in the
historic city of VIcksburg, where such
noble heroism was displayed by both
armies, and by the suffering citizens,
has been selected for the camping
ground of the reunited veterans.
This movement so patriotic in its
conception, SO unselfsh, so broad
in its views, and so well calculated TO
produce harmony among the people,
has promptly received the encourag-
ing endorsement of the authorities of
Vicksburg, Warren county, and the
governor of Mississippi. The idea
has met the prompt and generous ap-
peal of the numerous Confederate
organizations, headed by Gen. Gordon,
and of many posts of the Grand Army
of the Republic Numerous Confed-
crate veteran organizations are being
found in various parts of the south
who will gladly take part in this re-
union. An effort is being made TO
secure an appropriation from congress
to furnish tents, etc, which it is feared |
may fail through the sectional animos-
ity of congressman who wore neither
the blne nor the gray. But the want
of congressional aid will not prevent
the success OF the undertaking. The
refusal of aid will only demonstrate
the usefulness of such reunions

West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter
Reports regarding the possible ex.
tension Of the Louisiana Central rail
road TO Lafayette, SO miles distant,
are again in circulation. Among the
latest Is one 10 the effect that the Hi
nois Central railroad will build a
branch from the main line of its road
to Baton Rouge, and that that com
pany will purchase the Louisiana Cen.
tral, extending the line 20 Lafayette,
and using it and the road 10 Baton
Rouge as feeders to the main line of
the Illinois Central, which passes some
fifty odd miles easl Of Baton Rouge
The extension of the Louisiana Cen.
traI as above outlined would prove a
magnificent feeder to the Illinois Cen
Ira, and be of iDestimabIe benefit to
Baton Rouge aud Port Allen. We,
therefore, sincerely trust that there is
something in the report, and believe
that our people, realizing bow much
they have al stake IN this matter
would lend a ready helping hand in
aid of such project.
My brother, don't he uneasy, the
road will be built, and Lake Charles
will rejoice with you when it is il
running order.

cess has been discovered for extract
ing sugar from cotton seed meal. The
sugar is of very super ior grade, bnt
cannot be sold in competition with
the ordinary article. 1t is said to be
inclined to ferment or sunr, and hence
better for use in preserving fruits. 1t
Is said TO be fifteen times sweeler than
cane sugar, and twenty times more so
than sugar made from beels.

The effects of the late freeze arc
now pretty clearly demonstrated. TIC
sum it up briefly, vegetables are dead,
The fruit crop is more than half lost;
only those trees which bad not
budded promising any fruit. The
late blooming early peach, late figs,
some oranges and pears, and an
abundant crop of pccuns may be eX.
pected-not much else, Corn, Of
course, does no: figure much yet in
our fields. Potato crops are ruined.
The sugar cane may safely be said to
be killed to the ground, aud many un-
sPronled eyes on or near the surface
arc killed. Those eyes beneath the
soil yet uDsprouIed will probably
spring up very quickly since the
earth is unusually warm for the season.
