A. F. Maxfeld and family left last
Saturday for an outing at the seashore.

By way of diversifying labor, We sug-
gest that our planters set out several
acres in peach and nectarine trees.
This climate and soil particularly the
bayou lands) is admirably adapted to
the peach. For the first two years, and
beforeth shade prevents, Irish pota-
toes a be raised proftably in the
orchard. Good drainage is necessary
to success, and a fair profit is certain.
We take pleasure in reproducing from
the Baton Rouge Capital Item the fol-
lowing tribute to the heroism Of Bump
Campbeil, who was injured in the des-
truction of the P~enitentiary at Baton
Rouge by a cyclone:-
BY an oversight, in hurriedly making
up the report of the cyclone disasters, a
heroic circumstance escaped our atten-
ton which, we think, III the interest of
Justice and fair play, should be mem
TONED yet. Captain d. z. Gayle in
forms us that among those prisoners
who worked manfully and faithfully to
liberate their wounded companions
from the wreck of the factory building
he noticed one D. A. Campbell whose
left arm hung dead by bis side while he
struggled hard with his right to help in
the good work. Captain Gayle walked
over to where the ma was working and
him what was the matter with his arm,
and was informed by Campbell that it
was broken in two places. He was at
once ordered to the hospital where the
broken limb vas set and dressed by DR.,
Jones. Campbell was sentenced from
Lafayette parish for ten years for pass
ing counterfeit money and has been id
prison about ten months. Here is an
instance where a poor friendless man,
had forsaken the true path of manhood
in hope Of illegitimate gain, displayed
a heroism and devoted sympathy for
his fellowman rarely excelled in peace
