At last we have had a season of rain, the
18th inst. was showery throughout the day.
ing.
Some of the farmers Of this vicinity are
anxious to start blowing, breaking land for
cane planting. The sorry crop of cotton
grown this year together with the low selling
price of the staple is convincing proof that
something else must be done, and other crops
planted to take the place OF so much cotton.
From what your correspondent is able to
learn, it seems the rice growers of Bayou
Bout should feel congratulated over their
success for this their first year in the bust
ness, while in some instances and respects
all the bayou crops were not up to the stan
dard, yet when all things are fully considered,
the rice growers have done very we'll with the
lessons learned, the future may expect to see
many and valued improvements in the rice
industry.
The late rains was an advantage to the
gardeners.
TIL sugar mills and refineries will during
the next ten days be in full blast. Messrs.
Firth & Smelling set their mill in motion on
the 10th inst, others will start up this week.

very good, except cotton which is short.
The pea crop has matured we'll this season,
affOrding an abundance of nutritious hay.
The yield of corn has been excellent.
Sweet potatoes are abundant, and are very
fine this year. Garden work has been delayed
this fall; it has been SO dry for the past
month or so, that it was out of the question
to think of stirring the soil to any advantage.
We hear very little one way or the other
relative to political matters. The SUPPOSE
ton is that Grover Cleveland and Demo
cracy will win.
A considerable quantity of lumber and
wood has been shipped during the past two
months from Stewards switch to the city of
Opelousas.
Your scribe heard it stated that a possible
change in the schedule time of both the pas
senger and freight trains would take place
shortly, on the Morgan road.
Wa hope the editor of the Courier will en-
joy the trip to st. Louis, and the pleasures of
the Fair grounds, the hospitality of the
grand old city founded by the kindred people
of Louisiana.
Yours, ILLINOIS.

YSGLOMON, HIS TEMPLE AND
THE QUEEN OF SHEBA.
A Colossal Biblical spectacle.
Presented By John Robinson's Great Worlds
Exposition.


The era of Solomon, the Israelitish king, has
ever been fraught with an interest that will
last through all ages. There was so much that
was grand, SO much that was sumptnous, SO
much that was prophetic, SO much that was
sacred, so much that was divine, attending and
consequent to his reign, that history furnishes
no parallel, Art has now been called into re-
QUESTION as adyentitious aid to biblical lore,
and the glamour and glories of the past are
reproduced in the present. The eminent art
fist, Mr.. John Rettig, has devoted a year or
more to personal research in Palestine, Jerusa-
lem and the Holy Land, and has studiously
mastered the history and traditions Of the
Bible, and returning, has produced q grand
temple, the walls and city Of Jerusalem, the
Judgment of Solomon, and other notable
scenes, incidents and events during the regal
administration of the great Hebrew sage, pa
triarch and king. In connection with the big
gest and best circus Oh the road, the largest
and best menagerie, and the vast royal Roman
hippodrome, the management of John Robin
sons Great Worlds Exposition now present
this transcendently beautiful aud impressive
spectacle for the qualification of their patrons.
The consolidated exhibitions will be given
at Opelousas on Tuesday, Oct. 25th.

With a good road the wagons viii last
much longer, and the labor-of the teams les
-sened. The cost Of transportation from the
farm TO the railroad is a heavy expense on a
bad road. When the team can haul a heavy
load over a good road, instead of half a load
over a bad road, it is not only a saving of
labor but also a great gain in time.

found in various countries of the Asiatic
continent, and some are in Europe. There
are about 1000 in California, and others
are constantly arriving there to work in
the vineyards. In the city of New York
