more fertile and yield more per acre,
either in corn, sugar, cotton, or garden
truck, any other in Louisiana. Alex

liveliest burg In the South-invest-
ments pay more, and its natural ad-
vantages are greater than any of its
rivals. Progress and enterprise are
seen on every side, and natural con,

circles of Alexandria last week. He
said he was from Bitter Creek, (which

when called he showed nothing, aud

a defeated pugilist. He had a rain
bow over his left ocular, and bump
of knowledge on his left cheek, which
partially dis6gured him, to say the
