of capitalist have just purchased 40,
900 acres of land in Florida lying
north of the Pensacola and Atlantic
Railroad. The price paid was $780,.
900, which is at the rate of 50 so per

Baton Rouge Advocate: The bru-

Monroe, La, March 11--The cit
liens of our town have subscribed
S125,000 and Vermont capitalist have
subscribed a similar amount, for the
purpose of building a cotton mill of
10000 spindles here. The land has
also been donated and our cotton
factory is an assured fact. Electric
lights only recently put up, together
with water works now being erected,
will make city of our pretty town.
Shreveport Times: Despite the
fact that journals devo:e valuable
space to prize fighting and that con-
tests are made prominent news items,
public opinion is opposed to these
exhibitions. There is nothing eleva-
ting, refined or instructive in such
sport. 1t panders to the animal in
stinct; is deleterious to good morals;
debases the higher attributes of in
telligence and partakes of the gladia-
torial contests of ancient days. It's
tendencies are evil and hence it is
reprehensible.
N. o. States: Mr.. VIM. Winter,
shrewd, level-headed business man,
who was born and raised in Shreve-

few months ago was stricken with
a violent attack of Seattle fever. He
made disposition of his property, and,
with his family, journeyed northwest
ward to the promised land. A brief
experience taught him that he had
made mistake, and, acting promptly
upon that conviction, he returned to
his old home as "good enough for
him."
New Orleans Picayune: "Here is
to be found a soil of incalculable fer
tility, vast acres of which have never
been turned by the pillow. Here is a
healthful and genial climate which,
with the rich lands, furnishes extra
ordinary opportunities and advanta-
ges to the agriculturist. Here the
immigrant from any of the other
States can grow at the least possible
cost every farm and garden product
with whose culture be is familiar, and
many more that are Of greater value
than those he has had experience
with. Here lands are abundant and
cheap, and by reason of the great
generosity of soil and climate the
costs of production and the expenses
of living here are greatly smaller
than in any of the old States where
lands are worn out or high priced
and the climate is rigorous. Here,
too, are vast virgin forests of the
most valuable sorts of timber for
every purpose, and they are all con-
tiguous to natural waterways by
which logs may be foated to mills
and to markets"
