Nellie Lewis Carnafion.

The latest and one Of the best
novelties for 1891 is an elegant
Carnation, growing ON long stems
a free bloomer with large flowers, of
an exquisite shade Of pink, something
entirely different from anything in
Carnations. This flower is destined
to become a great fayorite among
the florists, as the ladies prize it
very highly for corsage bouquets and
decorative purposes generally. The
endorsement of the old firm of James
Wick, Rochester, N. Y, who intro.
duee this plant, is enough to assure
the public that it is all they claim
for it. The price is only SO cents
each, three for $l.25, six for $2.25,
doz. $500; but a better way would
be to send 10cents for Vack's Floral
Guide and the 10 cents can be
deducted from the first order for.
warded for seed.

Two years ago the new Executive

a frst class one, to Judge from the
tone Of his inaugural.
First and foremost he said lynch.
ing must cease if he had to remove
every sheriff IN the State. Next the
laws delay must stop. There must
be one fair, speedy trial, and that
end it. Professional inrymen and
drunken Justices must GO.
Then be took up education. The
State military should be wiped out
and it's appropriation used for a
girls school which shoaid eschew
oil painting and ologies and teach
useful things telegrap.ay, bookkeeping
housekeeping, chemistry and prac-
tees of cookery, etc. and so supply
a long felt and pressing want"
TAX dodgers" corporated and
others must be brought up with a
round turn SO as to tighten the load
by making each one carry his fair
share.
Lastly there must be . new

"carpetbag vampires, aud baser
native traitors" had harrassed the

they will be able to plant about fifty

claiming that their seed is much

The Jennings Reporter gives the
Southern Pacific Railroad a good
skinning and says it is like some
men we know they (some men) do
all they can to induce a man to have
confidence 10 them, then take advan.
tage of his confidence and steal from
him. What has the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company done? 1t has
held out, through its agents, that
this is a beautiful climate, healthy
and productive, and it will carry the
immigrant and land seeker for half
fare. By these inducements the
country has now arrived to the status
where there is no going back well
advertised, and every one who comes
is q new recruit to influence others
to come. Now, it says to a poor
immigrant, who has paid all his
money to get here, and wants to
move q car of goods, or a car Of po-
tatoes, from Lake Charles to Jen-
nings, yoG may do 80 by paying $40,
the price Of shipping a car 200 miles
over the same railroad. With all
promises and influences brought to
bear, and an interstate commerce
law saying that a railroad shall not
charge more in proportion for a short
than a long haul, our people are
charged an extortionate price for
local freight. Some Of our farmers
have shipped in corn and cotton seed
from Scott station, IS miles east, and
were charged an ex~tortionate price
-s24 a car, the price of car Of hay
from this station {iS4 miles, to New
Orleans. This We call robbery
getting a man where he can not help
himself, then steal from him.

The Morgan City Review has tho
following TO say BY way Of apology
for the Str. Barmore -:
Up 10 the latter part of December
Iof last year, the Barmore made
regular trips TO Bayou Vermilion,
hardly ever missing q day: and al
ways carrying full loads of freight
hat after that date, the extremely
heavy crops of sugar, rice and cot.
ton all coming at. once, put the
steamer TO a test and it was only
with the aid Of her lighter that she
was able to handle, Then came
great difficulty in securing labor, the
men quitting to go on plantations
as fast as they were brought here,
(the same trouble caused great delay
and Inconvenience on the part Of
the Peche Steamer.) and then the
burning Of the boilers, the stormy
weather and the low water at the
mouth Of the Vermilion, alfoperated
against the boat making her trips
with any pretense at regularity. The
owners tried to secure another
steamer to nut ia the trade bat could
not. The Vermilion trade has been
carried on by Messrs. P1larr &
Williams, with more regularity,
speed and safety, than during the
time the trade was ia other hands
and never has the interests Of the
people OF the bayou been so thorough.
ly taken care of, as at the present
time, and the merchants OF thai place
Fshould remember this and not make
such desperate efforts to render their
condition worse than ii is.

To-day the office and material of the
