ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart of Tehan1a County, for the
parpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
mont. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land of fair average quality, aud is offered sc
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
10, so, 12O, $50 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They viii sc sold IN
subdivisions, as above indicated by the pay
nlent of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first OF i've equal an
nusl iustallments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser Is TO have five years in which TO
pay Eve equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over q period of
eight years Intending purchasers are as
Bureo that this is an opportunity to purchase
land Of fair average quality at so per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades Of land al prices to CORE
sIona between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement viii prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an ecre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre. on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body OF land was the breaking up OF a large
colding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion

TO our Friends and Patrons.

We wish to call the attention of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER to the necessity
of their being on the alert, in the matter OF
judicial publications, tsheriffs sales especial
ly), as q neglect on their part to give positive
instructions as TO where they desire such
advertisement published, is apt to result in
our being deprived of the patronage that
would otherwise be given to Us. The sheriff
Of this parish has been making himself es
peeialy jealous in the matter of securing
sheriffs sales for the paper of which he is
director and eteckholder, and several publica-
tions Of that nature have appeared in that
paper which the parties interested would
have selected to be done ia the COURIER, had
they been consulted and others have been
diverted from us at tho special solicitation Of
the sheriff or his deputies serving the papers
in the matter of seizures
To those who prefer to patroDize any other
paper in this parish we have no desire to in
terfere with their preferences, but our friends
who wish to favor us with their patronage
are earnestly requested TO see that the proper
officers arc instructed to have the publication
done in the CoURlER-and they are especially
warned against allowing themselves to be in
duced to consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper

Article v Of. the Constitution of the
Farmers Alliance, reads as follows:
SECTION l. No person shall be admitted as
member unless he has been citizen of the
state of Louisiana for six months past, and
not then unless he be a farmer, farm labor
er, etc, etc.
On Tuesday our worthy resident,
Patrick Donahey. took the oath of eiti-
zeuship, in the District Court, now in
session here. admitting that, he never
had renouneed bis allegiance to Victoria
Queen of England and Empress of the
Indias. Mr.. Donahay came to this
country al the age of twelve years, had
never taken the oath of intention to be-
come a citizen of the United States, and
consequently was not a citizen of the
United States, and consequently was
not citizen of Louisiana, although a
foreigner is entitted TO gote under our
Constitution, WAoAas taken the oath of
intention to become q citizen of the
United States. Now the joke turns on
the fact that although none bnt citizens
Of Louisiana can be admitted as q
member of the Alliance unless he has
been citizen six months Nevertheless
our friend Patrick Donahay had been
received as member, and las been
elevated By the Alliance to the dignity
OF one Of its Lecturers.
Now ne do not wish to be under
stood as rejecting on tho worthiness of
the brother, but it seems queer TO us
that the constitution of the Alliance, is
no guide to the members. Why not

The ridiculous maneuvetlng of the

most disgracefnl acts that could posi-.
Div have been anticipated. The beha-
vior eff the people of Sabine parish il
indeed shocking to the sensibilities OF
any man who has the true interest Of
tile State at heart.
] This occurrence, disgracefal as 1T is,
may yet bring its beneficial results.
pope says that out, of partial evil
sfgs 4, ys universal good, and there is lie
doubt tflag tue whole civilized world
will froWn down upssn and disapproVt
such lawless and revolutioiIrsas.r " acts.
1t would be very easy matter 20
hold barbecue ID Sabine parish, and
few. determined men could easily go
there and soon disperse the bowling
mob that a few days since, by tlleir
own acts have brought their own par
isll into disgrace.
The only question is one of policy.
Sabine parish is small and her repres-
entation iii tie State convention will
amount to very little therefore, it is
hardly worth the trouble to waste our
time with a peBple SO Insignificant and
SO harmful to the Democratic party.
Their conduct, however, deserves
some punishment, and We suggest that
inasmuch as they have acted in such
an undemocratic manner, that the
state Central Executive Committee at
their next meeting, will rule them out
of our State convention.
IF hereafter they como to their senses
and appreciate that they live in a civil
lied country and among civilized peo-
pie, they can, like the Prodigal son
return to the homes of their political
fathers, aud If they promise to behave
in the future, the Democratic party
may forgive them for what they have
done, but still watch them with grea
care in the future.
