THE PRESS CONVENTION.

Hon. John McGrath. president ol
the Louisiana Press Association, has
named the Sth Of May IA the date
for holding the annual convention of
this body. As he fears this date
will not afford sufficient time for del
egates to the National Convention to
reach Chicago by the 10th inst, the
place and time of holding the Con
grcss of the superior body, he desires
the members Of the State Associa-
ton to express their opinion as to
the advisability of waiting and hay
ing them elected or have the presi-
dent appoint the representatives.
On this point The PRoGREss shall
have little to say as it is new in the
cause and has never met the press in
convention and consequently its edi-
torial force is known to but few
members thereof, but it shall not
hesitate to express It's opinion in In
vor of the prc-ilonts naming the del
egates. We know nothing of Mr.
John NicGratb, personally, but what
We know Of him by reputation makes
Us nothing doubling but that he wlll
not only do what is right, but that he
will name those who will represent
Louisiana TO some good. We would
like to suggest one name, however.
which is Mrs Addie 3lcGrath Lee.
or course we should feel more than
proud to have our own Myrna go but
rs her name is not yet enrolled on
the roster of the Association. and rs
THE PRooREss is but a Aedgling among
the galaxy of eagles, we certainly
would not have the temerity to even
mint at such an honor.

THE PRESS RESPONSIBLE.

The press is responsible for much
of the immortality, dishonesty and in.
ebriety which exists in Louisiana. II
il would cease its laudation of men
whom the editors know are not lit as
sociates OF their wives, mothers,
daughters and sisters, whom they
would not intrust with the care OF
their business, whom they would hes
itate to recommend to another, and if
writing about them at all, would tell
tho whole truth, lechers, drunkards
and immoralists would soon cease to
be such, or ostracised and practically
branded men whom il would be ad-
visable for virtue to shun.

BAPTIST SERVICES. - Rev. w.
$. Penick, tho talented pas
tor of the Baptist church at Shreve-
port, has been preaching every day
this week in the court house, this
city. Services have been held mt IL
a. IN. and 1880 p. m. The Attendance
at the evening service has been fully
~ large rs could be expected Mr.
Penick's sermons are very strong. and
have been heard with a great deal of
pleasure by macy OF our people. The
Baptist congregation of Alexandria
are trying to raise money to build a
uouse of worship here, and all our
people should give them helping
hand. Mr.. Penick will preach again
tonight at the courthouse, and we
would like to see q crowded house.
With billions Of foet
of the best long leaf pine to the
north, west and south; with thous-
ands of acres OF rich alluvial soil
surrounding, which will produce su-
gar cane, cotton, corn, oats, rice, to-
bacco, all kinds of vegetables, and
many kinds of fruits, what is to keep
Alexandria from developing as rapid
ly as any city in Louisiana.
Fifty FAMILIES CoMING. - Mr.
Milhas, n Sweed, arrived
here this week from the State of Ne
braska for the purpose Of spying out
the land with view to locating He
is much pleased with this section OF
the State, and is trying to find homes
for fifty Swedish families, who are
tired of Northern winters and want
to settle in the South.
IL North Louisiana would hold hel
own convention, as we have been urg-
ing her to do for some time, we would
soon have all of our now untitled
lands occupied by a class of small
industrious, frugal farmers, who
would make blossoming fields of the
now idle wastes.

Bartup have recently come to our
city and established themselves at
No. II Grand street, up stairs. and
do house ami sign painting. Mr..
Allen is the son of n. :. Allen, an
architect of Shreveport, who has had
charge of all the best and largest
buildings III that city. These gen
tlemen have entered into business
under the style Of Allen IL Bartup,
and for references they refer to any
merchant or banker of Shreveport
Mr.. Bartup is also an expert sign and
house painter, and comes from
st LOUIS.
They are both clever gentlemen
and artists in their line, and deserve
the patronage OF the citizens of Mon
roe. The PRoGREss thinks it can AS
sure the people of that progressive
city that they need have no fear of
being duped if George Allen receives
their contract on bid.

REMArSs OF A CHILD FoUsp.-Alex-
andris 7 Jwn Talk: On last Wednes-
day coffin containing the remains
OF a girl, aged about IL years, was
found floating in Red river, oppo-
site the Texas and Pacific transfer.
The coroner, DIR. Luckett, was noti-
fed, and went and examined the re-
mains, and came to the conclusion
that the coffin had been buried near
the bank Of the river, at some point
above, and had caved into the water
and floated down stream. The coro-
ner was unable to tell whether the
child was white or colored. He esti-
mated that it had been at least eight
months since the body was inferred.

that he will eventually have to have
them around him and in his COM

Natchitoches Enterprise: As an
other reason why we should plant
less cotton and more corn, we would
call the attention of the farmers to
the fact that on the 10th Of March
Mexico removed all duties on the i'm
portation Of corn. The result has
been q tremendous rush Of grain
from the United States into Mexico.
As Mexico uses an enormous quanti-
ty OF American corn, IL behooves our
people to make enough for their use
and not depend on the West for cheap
corn. The demand being greater,
the price will necessarily increase.

There can be but one way

more corn and truck pate hes, and
raise hogs, and then he will be in a
way to defy hard times But until
he learns to let so much cotton alone
he will be the "uuder-dog.'
Nashville Christian Advocate: Mr.
Spurgeon's direction about preaching

Preach the gospel, and then preach

lament over empty pews, will be

The self-denial, diligence
