The weather this week has been a
fair sample ofwhat generally prevails
during the wintry season. The varia.
lions in the temperature have ranged
from ~ down to %, which has proven
rather severe on tie frail members of
the human family in this section.
There has been but little plantation
work doae. the ground being some
what frozen and the weather too Sc
we're for the tropical colored laborcrs,
but on the whole plantation progress
may be reported favorable and the
work well in hand.
Bad colds, influenza, lagrippe or by
whatever name the nuisance may be
called, prevails 10 considerable ex-
tent. Like Brady's bitters "every
body takes it."
Business has been decidedly fiat for
the past few days. The high price of
meats and the neighboring levees be-
ing about completed, dollars, dimes
and even nickles are becoming distress
ingly scarce ; at least SO say the deal
ers in merchandise and sundries neces-
sary for human subsistence.

We learn that our highly esteemed
fellow citizen DIR. f. r. Bernard has
bright outlook for the position OF
Naval officer from the incoming

host of friends will be more than
ready TO congratulate him on success
full result to bis aspirations. The Doc
tors ability to fill the position he as
pires to cannot possibly be questioned.
His experience and intelligence can
rarely be surpassed. He is in every
way prominent citizen, straightout
Democrat, well deserving of any favor
within the gif, of those in authority. if
party fealty and unfinching fidelity
counts.

Col. Buckner returned several days
ago.
Mr.. Constant is just back from a
flying trip to Vickshurg.
Mr.. E. w. Constant is spending this
week in New Orleans.
Mr.. C. B. Buckner has left us only
for few days though.
We are minus young man this
week, who has gone above town 10
hunt, so he says.
The last callers from town were
Mrs. Cherry. Misses e. aud N. Mont
gomery, to say nothing of Messrs. Nc
Culloch and Davis.
Miss Benjamin's entertainment was
decidedly the most enjoyable Of the
New Year. After a delicious supper
a german was danced until the "wee
sma hours" Among the guests we
find DIR. and Mrs. Long. Col. Buckner,
Mrs. Cherry, Misses Davis, Lanier, N
Montgomery, Routh, j. and r. Keeue,
Messrs. McRae, Moore, Donovan, Ora
ham, Richardson, Buckner, Keene,
Dicken, McCulloch, e. w. and f. L.

and W. Ii. Davis.
The second warders were out in
force on Sunday before last, TO well
come our new Minister and give devo-
tional expression to that latent or
active piety SO loug pent NJ. The
occasion was also one of very pretty
aud interesting ceremony, the christ
ening of the infant son of DIR. and Mrs.
w. 4. Long. William Mcfarland bore
himself nobly through the trying Or
deaf like true little soldier of the
cross, that the united efforts of bis
very responsible sponsors shall en-
deavor 10 make him.
The young folks having run aground
for amusement, or run in the ground
all other amusements, that resourceful
genius Mr.. Robert Moore, suggested
as diversion, s.hay ride" to Lake
Providence. The motion was eagerly
seconded, aud ON Wednesday evening
carried out. AT the appointed hour
Mr.. Harry Graham drove up in his
coach aud six gaily caparisoued and
prancing mules. The party was soon
"all aboard" aud TO the enliyening
strains of our impromptu-the band
string, strung and unstrung and the
merry jingle of the mule bells, night
was made hilarious, ard we set off.
Though the drive was a long one, the
jollity and all-pervadiug spirit of the
occasion was well sustained to the end.
AS the best is always held in reserve
for the last, the piece de resistance of
this affair was the dance that awaited
our coming. Iu going through town
our party was considerably augment
ed, and the "coach" pulled up at the
mansion of Mr.. Vail Mont
gomery. Miss Nellie made a charm
lug hostess and treated her guests TO
their fill of dancing and other good
things. L'INCONNUE.
