1t is but rarely these days we hear
any one say he has good crop, but
such was the case on Monday last
when we met Eli Legrand, a young,
active, Industrious negro, living On the
Waterloo plantation near the banks of
Bayou Tensas, about three miles from
town. Eli rented rs acres of land. 20
acres of which was entirely under
water during tn. overflow. He put
So acres in cotton and the balance in
corn, pease and potatoes. He told us
that from the IS he would gather at
the lowest estimate 65 bales of cotton,
having already shipped Is ties. His
corn crop will yield about 500 bushels,
with fair quantity of provender and
other things. Legrand's crop all
around is an exceptional one for this
year, the greater number throughout
the parish being barely half average
yield.
There is another of our colored
friends named King Atlas, an indnstri-
GUS, clever, responsible citizen, who
tells us he has an excellent crop this
year, he is not only King by name
but he is q King among cotton growers
We know nothing about his peculiar
methods of cultiyating the tender
plant, but he rarely fails to realize a
full and satisfactory harvest, not only
of cotton and corn, but many other
things produced from the soil, such
as potatoes, peas, melons, cantelope;
and turnips. Atlas is one of quite
large hard working family of negroes
born and raised in old Carroll, who en-

The local rains foreshadowed by the
signal service with colder temperature
for Thursday, must have gone into
liquidation in some other direction.
We have up to this writing had a
week of dry, warm, summer weather.
Summer IN September and October
instead of July and August, but the
favorable weather is entirely too late
to benefit the cotton crop to any ma
terial extent further than harvesting
il in the best condition possible. Long
unstained lint can be safely claimed
for all the blenders" this year, and the
all don't amount to enough by a long
way to enable the planters to pay out.
Decreased acreage in cotton, with a
greater and more practical variety OF
crops has become an actual necessity
in this section, and the sooner cotton
growers, and all, realize this fact, the
better it will be for them and the
country generally.
We do not hear any improved re-
ports from the cotton crop with re-
gard to the yield as the season ad.
vances aud the stalks are denuded Of
leaves. Several of our friends tell ui
"there is much less fruit on the stalks
than we calculated on" This is, We
belive the case all ever the parish, and
the final footing up of the cotton
bales in East Carroll will doubtless
show it. Economy of the most rigid
kind will have to be practiced from
now on until another season makes
showing, which we sincerely hops
will be a vast improvement on the dis
astrous one now passing away.
There has been some sickness dur
ing the past week, especially among
the little ones; an occasional deatf
occurs, but not more than usual a
this season of the year.

On Saturday of last week one OF our
oldest and most highly respected citi-
zens passed suddenly into the next
state of existence, and his remains
were reyerently laid away on Sunday.
Oct. 16, 1892, in the Providence Gem
etery. Mr.. William Alling had been
ailing fore sometime past, and being
in the 84th year of his existence. it
was but natural he should drop of
and pass away at any moment, and SO
it was as we have above stated.
Mr.. Alling was no ordinary man.
He had figured with success in many
prominent positions, commercially,
socially and officially during his long
career. He had lived in this parish as
proprietor of Black Bayou plantation
for number Of years, quietly and un-
obtrusively pursuing the even tenor
of his way. A good citizen, kind
friend and reliable member of the
human family. We make this briel
mention as Introductory to fitting
tribute of respect to his memory
which will appear next week.

is tawdry and badly made. Switzer-
