A FINE PIECE OF. WORK.

For week or more past Mr.. T. ID.
McCandless has been engaged on a
map, under the aupices of Messrs,
RansdeIl & Ransdell for Mr.. r. T.
Ford, proprietor of the Buckmeadow
plantation.
The map is some so inches or more
square, and the scale is two inches to
the mile. 1t embraces the three north
ern townships, 81, 22.and %, in ranges
II, IL and 13, bounded by Bayou Ma
con, Chicot county, Ark, aud the Mis-
sissippi river.
We were much impressed with the
careful completeness of Mr.. McCand-
less work. Every piece of land in the
three townships is clearly defined and
properly colored with the owners
name inscribed thereon.
The map is really thing of beau
ty, perfect in all its details and a
specimen of pen pushing handicraft
that the most experienced draughtsman
might well afford to be proud of.
The Messrs. Ransdell of our town,
have done more than all the rest of
our people combined to bring the
rich aud heavily wooded lands of East
Carroll into public notice, as a matter
of profitable investment, and the end
is not yet by a long ways, nothwith-
standing the recent discouraging over
flow.
A map of the whole parish on the
scale of the three townships we have
referred to, properly colored, with the
names thereon, would be immensely
beneficial to property holders, invest
ors, the assessor and every person who
may happen to have business relations
with our people. 1t would aid large
ly in bringing the attention of capital
lists TO the many resources of wealth
within our parish boundaries now
lying unnoticed and unknown. We
think-it strictly within the line OF duty
of the Police Jury to have such work
done at an early day, with descriptive
notes as to soil, timber, etc, because
the increase OF values by investments
aud improvements that would speed.
~ follow, would more than compen.
safe the outlay, and at the same time
promote the general prosperity of this
section to such an extent that we
would soon feel that we were in line
with the march of progress.

Elder Jack Williams had big time
at his Baptist Church, fronting on the
lake short distance from Tensas on
Sunday last. There were thirteen
colored persons immersed, seven
women and six men, amid great re-
ligious excitemnt.
Elder Williams is a captain all over
in religious matters. He conducts his
religious services as far as possible
with the styictest decorum, and Sun
days baptizing was no exception to
The rule. OF course, an occasional
breaking out of the ooh be Joyful fer
vor cannot be avoided. Some of the
new members, especially the women,
viii get uncontrolably happy aud re-
lieve themselves with q few earnest
shouts that make the welking ring.
One of the men raising out of the
water gave expression TO his blissful
content on Sunday by exclaiming in a
stentorian voice, "De white folks done
beat me out of my critter, an he was
good horse, but dey can't beat me
out on dis ligion, for suah Is got it ;
Dress Goa I'se got it suah. Hallelui-
jah.n
We were pleased to find that while
there were several white persons
present, no one ventured to indulge
in the hateful practice of ndicu,ing
the colored people in the exercise OF
their sacred ceremonies.
Elder Jack has good cause to be
proud of last Sundays works 1t was
conducted with proper regard fol
the properties of religious observance
and will rebound much to his credit as
a religious teacher among bis race.
