For the benefit of those who desire to attend
first tclass private school where the cost is re-
duced TO Il minimum, feel it is Il duty to them
to say, Babbs Bridge is near the center of the
State, about one and half miles from the Kan
sas City, Watkins s. Gulf Railway, in an intell-
gent, moral community, free from the contam
mating influences OF large towns and cities
1t is located in the pine hills where we have
the best water, and good health prevails the
whole year round. Evans private Commercial
School is worthy of patronage, and in my opin-
catiOnal factor well-known throughout our
State for its tLOrOughness in all its varied cur
r1culum. H. F. LONG,
Supt. Public Educat ton. Rapides Parish

eu To ill out any order for bill heads,

in the job printing line, at short notice
aud al fair aud reasonable prices. Our

A Lesson.

The signal failure Of the cotton crol
this year should serve to teach oul
| farmers and planters that subsistence
| does not SO much depend on il as Oh
other crops. With their cribs we'll filled
/ with corn, and their pumps piled high
with sweet potatoes and their barns
| with oats and hay, they have much less
to purchase. The cotton is not needed.
1t has long been the habit to raise cot
ton to buy corn and meat, two necessi-
ties that are easier to produce than cot
ION and with far less outlay. Many
are in debt to tie merchants and be-
lieve they must produce cotton to pay
with. But the question should he we'll
pondered, how can they pay debts with
that which annually sinks them further
in? We would not, by any means, dis
courage the cultivation of cotton alto
gethcr; on the contrary we think it
should he continued to a limited extent.
There should be sacramental rules
aud principles with farmers, as there
are with persons engaged in other pur-
suits. If the merchant will not give
credit to the man who will not, or who
he knows cannot pay, so the farmer
should not cultivate that Elich he
knows full we'll does not pay.
Has it not been made apparent that
the wholesale cultivation of cotton does
pnt comnensate the farmerp It an
pears to us he should reverse his custom
and instead Of planting t'ro thirds of his
land in cotton. az he has heretofore been
doing, put it down in corn, potatoes,
oats, peas, rye or barley. These are
easier produced, and with plenty of
theM. horses, mules, cows, pigs, sheep
and poultry may be raised. With an
abundance of an assortment oi tkese,
he can live with but little use for
money. The limited quantity of cot
ton thus produced would command
better price and the road to prosperity
would be kept in good condition per-
petually. The merchant would be
vastly benefited, for every one mast ;
know lie can not prosper 10y simply |
parting with his goods, and that he |
