A WarnIng-Don't Use Big Words

A Warming g-DOn't Use Big Words.
In promulgating esoteric cogitations or
artitculating superficial senti mentalities
and philosophical or psychological obser-
yations, beware Of platitudinous ponder
osity. Let your statements possess a clari-
fed conciseness, compacted comprehensi-
bleness, coalescent consistency and con
centrated cogency. Eschew all sconglom-
erations Of fatulent garrulity, iejune bab-
Element and asinine affections. In trying
to impress upon others the superiority of
the Wisconsin Central Line, and why YOU
and SO many others use this thoroughfare
from St. Paul and Minneapolis and Duluth
and Ashland to Milwaukee, Chicago and
points east and south, it is not necessary
to use jaWbreakers. Let your extempor
aneous descantings and unpremeditated
expatiations have intelligibility and verac-
lous Yivacity, without Thodomentade or
thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all
polysyllable profundity psittaceous va
Guilty, ventriloqual Yerbosity and vandiIo-
quent vapidity, shun double entendres,
/ prurient jocosity and pestiferous profanity,
obscurent or apparent. In other words,
talk plainly, naturally, sensibly, and
truthfully say the Wisconsin Central Lines
is THE route, and that ends it.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Machine Works Beautifully.
The Third Party machine" got
in it's work all o. K. at the Natchi-
toches convention last week, and
Greasy" Guice has been duly
named as Congressional candidate
by the committees" appointed for
that purpose. Talk about 'cut and
dried politics" and machine meth
ods," but that committee business
of our Third Party friends takes
the cake. They are little clumsy
about it, but with practice they can
beat either of the old parties and
give them two in the game. We
don't know whether it is because
their leaders are smarter, or be-
cause the rank and file are more
stupid and callous as to the meth
DDS employed to whip them into
line, but the success of the Third
Party bosses is enough to make the
old potato nosed politicians turn
green with envy.

The other three parishes are not
in bad school condition, but have
shorter terms, and need a more
thorough support in financial re-
spects. rs
In Grant there is a white teach
er four months for every 62 white
children, while in Catahoula there
is white teacher three months for
every Ssh white children of schoiZ
astic age. A small addition in ev-
erything would make these parish
es enjoy a standard school system
for their white children: Parish
finances constitute an element OF
interest to home-seekers and for
such a careful compilation is given
below. In 1880 the parish taxes
were uniformly 10 mills and yield
ed nothing to support the schools
and left debts hanging over the
marshes as follows:

the Texas and Pacific Railway will
inaugurate the, sale of Sunday Elk

The next question to the home
seeker is the condition of the pub
lie schools. In three of the par
ishes, Morehouse, Ouachita and
Rapides, the public schools are
in q fairly good condition, for Rap
ides has a white teacher nine
months for every 733 white chill
dren in her borders, while Qua
chita has a white teacher four
months for every 57s of her white
children, and Morehouse has a
white teacher for over FIVE months
for every 56a white children in her
limits, and extra good schoolhouses
throughout the parish.
The enrolment of white children
in these parishes represents in per-
centage of school age as follows:
Rapides, 80, Morohouse 90, and
Ouachita IS. If Rapides would
employ a dozen more teachers, and
Morehouse and Ouachita lengther
their terms two months they would
enjoy a standard school system
nearly equal to any in America
This good showing is the result o
a thorough agitation and apprecia
ton by the people, and a conse

The Conshatta Citizen gives an
account of tilt in that town on
the Goth inst, between Bro. Bruce
and Gushing Guice ON the one
side, and Hon. N. G. Blanchard on
the other. The result was amusing
and edifying, Bro. Bruce was
shown up and candidly admitted
that he didn't know anything at all
about politics, while the labyrinth
of figures and statistics, that Mr..
Guice so loves to hide himself in
bamboozle the ordinary rustic with,
was torn into shreds, and his pre-
tensions to learning and informa-
ton met with merited ridicule.

COTTON AND LUMBER.
It is not possible for any road to

Joint cotton crop of 10000 bales,
while the lumber interest in these
several parishes is immense, hav-
ing pine lands equal to 10000
acres, besides cypress and oak
lands for other lumber shipments,
and there are now fifteen to twenty
mills on and adjacent to its line,
and shipping large amount of lum-
Der daily.
The amount of lumber cannot be
given, but, as much of the pine sec.
ton is virgin forest, the amount
of actual supply can be approx.
mated from the acres in the long
leaf pine lands in the parishes:

country, by Mr.. H. H. Hargrove,
the talented correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune. is SO vivid
and faithful, that we make extern
sive extracts for our readers:
improvements, whether in rail
road building, new towns, increas-
ed population, or in an agricultural
way or other added wealth sources
anywhere within the borders of
Louisiana, should be extremely
gratifying to our people. Partic-
ularly is this true when nearly all
of these conditions are realized in
a given section in term of two or
three years.
The section Central North Lou
isiana," of which this report treats,
largely represents all of these i'm
proved conditions in less than three
years. While many factors have
entered into this result, the prime
and largest inspiration in this
awakening comes from the build
of the H. G. A. and Northen Rail-
road through Morehouse, Ouachita,
Caldwell, Catahoula, Grant and RAJ
pides parishes, a distance of 145
miles, from the Arkansas line to
Alexandria. The section penetra-
ted by this road represents: cotton
and corn in the hills and bottom,
and prairie with cane added in
Rapides, while timbers, both pine
and cypress, are in great abund-
ance, and no day of the year will
leave the road unsupplied with a
large amount of freights both north
and south.
OF course the road runs north of
Louisiana into Arkansas, Missouri
and Kansas, and is a part of the
great Missouri Pacific system, but
