supply of their admirable household
necessities, which our confrere of the
Courier, who has tried one, RECON-
mends in the following style:
We take pleasure in directing the at
tention of onr readers to an article un-
der the head of "A Gard" in another
column, aud in doing so we desire to
state that we have u 'Home Comfort
Range, manufactured by the Wrought
Iron Range Co. of st. Louis, III use for
several days, and have no hesitation
in asserting that it comes fully up to all
that is claimed for it, which is saying a
great deal, bat which We are satisfied
will be the unanimous verdict of all
who will give the Home Comfort "a fair
trial. The gentlemanly representatives
of the st. Louis Wrought Iron Range
Co., Messrs j. e. Massengill and his
able assistants, are now here with a
full supply of their celebrated ranges,
and viii take pleasure in demonstrating
their many advantages to all interested;
and as no well regulated kitchen can
be complete without one, and the terms
on which they are sold are extremely
liberal, we say get one at once aud you
will never regret it.

The Water Question.

Mn. EDITOR I'll am informed that we
have assteam fre-engine in Opelousas,
and m organized company to operate it
whenever fires occur III the town. /
have looked in vain for the water reser-
voirs to supply the engine. What will
the company extingnish fires with? Has
any one patented the use of dust for
such o purposeg The idea of having
an engine and no water reminds one of
going into battle with guns and no ann
munition. Your engine unsnpplied with
water is not likely to afford any security
in the hands of the company against
the destructiveness of the fire fiend.
To an outsider il would appear to have
been more business-like to give atten-
tion first to the water supply. Who
would think Of building q fine boat
with no water to set it afloat in. In a
town like this it seems short sighted on
the part of the citizens not to make all
the necessary preparations to combat
the flames and to save themselves from
confagrations. They may as well sell
the engine it no water can be provided
TO make it efficient with. More anon.

We live in the most inviting country
upon which the sun shines. From its
entire extent aa invitation goes forth to
the overflowing North, come and till
where the South wind blows softly.
While the North has its billiards., COW
ering the earth with snow, filing the
streams with ice and the air with an in
fluence chilling as death itself, we never
have cold reaching much below the
freezing point, and seldom lasting more
than twenty-four or forty-eight hours.
1t is therefore delightful country.
Stock of all kind can be raised almost
without expense. Here let the stock
raisers of the West and Northwest come
and amass fortune almost without la
Dor. No such country can be found for
fowls as is ours. The traditional FUR
key, the chicken, whose eggs would al
most enrlctl the man from the North,
these aud all domestic fowls can be
raised almost without expense. Here
then is the place for the small farmer.
In q few years he will grow rich, and
with but little severe labor, or any great
self-denial.
The South halls all industrious men.
who with their families will not only
grow rich themselves, but will add
largely to the wealth of our common
country. A more noble, warm hearted
people than are found in the South can
not be found anywhere on this broad
earth. They will receive the immigrant
from the frozen North with all gener-
osity and kindness. There is room here
for thousands and employment for all.
With the most delightful climate, the
richest soil, the greatest variety OF oc-
~, rnlt F<r,
small farmers, with large fields for su
gar and cotton, we extend a cordial in
vitation to all Industrious and frugal
people to come to Louisiana and help
us aud help themselves.
As to politics, we receive a white Re-
publican from the North with most
cordial hospitality. The color line ia
nothing. 1t will settle itself and will
as surely turn the most radical Repub-
lican to Democrat, as truth at all times
is more potent than falsehood.

We find the following, relating to ON
neighboring town of Washington, in
the City Item of the 10th inst, and hope
the parties having the project in hand,
will boom the matter and bring it to an
ultimate success:
"a gentleman from Washington, St
Landry parish, informs the Item that a
movement is on foot to start a class
cotton mill in that place, Senator Pres
colt and other public spirited men hav-
ing the project in hand. The supply Of
raw material is grown in the vicinity,
the climate permits of all the year round
work under the most favorable condi-
tions, and white labor is abundant and
eager to learn new occupations. IL the
factory should start out on cotton bag
ging manufacture the farmers would be
delighted and take stock in the COM
pany. The ITEM hopes all the brightest
anticipations of the promoters may be
realized
