The citizens of Alexandria are max
ing active preparations for entertaining g
the State Press Association which will
meet in that city on the 1st of August.
Large committees composed of the
leading gentlemen and ladies of the
place have been appointed and are ac-
lively at work, and the Police Jury of
Rapides has already made an appropri-
alton of $3.50 towards defraying the ex-
pcnses to be incurred in the reception
and entertainment OF tho visiting
knights of the quill.
Some years ago the writer had the
pleasure of visiting Alexandria for the
purpose of attending a meeting of the
State Press Association, then in its in
fancy-a meeting which failed for want
of IL quorum Owing principally to the
lack of transportation facilities), the
only members present besides himself
being the late Judge Hyams, of West
Baton Rouge, the beloved "Uncle Har-
ry" of all the members, and Mr.. Gill
more, of New Iberia. The writer hap
pened to be accompanied by a dear
young friend, now deceased, the brother
of our present District Judge.] We re-
tain a vivid recollection OF the kind
treatment. and numerous courtesies
which our small party received on that
occasion at the hands of the large heart

ed and lamented Waters, of the State
Central Express, then published there.
Ii any incentive were needed to induce
the members to attend the coming
meeting, the recital Of these facts, assO-
ciated in our mind with so many pleas
ant and grateful, yet tender and mourn
full memories, ought to be all-sutficient;
for the personnel of the committees now
making arrangements for their recep-
ton and entertainment is a sure guar
aDtee that the nature of Alexandrias
well-known hospitality has not deteri-
Grated, and that their sojourn in the
growing central city on the banks of the
"Old Red" will be a pleasant one.

steamboat and are distributing rations
to overflow sufferers in various portions
of the State. Thirty thousand dollars
were appropriated by the legislature for
the purpose, but the destitution is much
greater and widespread than was at
first supposed, and the amount is greatly
insufficient to relieve actual suffering.
Appeals for further relief have been
made to Congress. About 334S rations

mixed than Louisiana politics. He made

one groan and started up the street. The
foreman called the tramp in and told
him that the old man had gone out
either to Tony Doherty's to borrow
Winchester or over to the corner to take
a drink, or both, "most likely both, said
he, "and the more drinks lie takes the
more Winchesters he wants, so you bet
ter get" He slid out, and the last heard
of him he was passing Zachary on a run.
When the old man got back he just
fairly howled, and swore the tramp
didn't know any more about printing
