Mr.. P. J. Vincent came in from West
Carroll on Wednesday. He says the
old Corban road is all o. x. now and
ready for travel. The bridge across
the Macon and the one across Baxter
have both been completed, the former
being fourteen feet wide and eighty
three feet long, the latter sixty feet
long. The bridge over the Macon is
on the pontoon style. 1t is built upon
we'll seasoned Choctaw logs, which
float in the water and are capable of
sustaining very heavy loads. In fact,
enough wagons heavily laden could
not be placed upon it TO sink it. Thus
it adjusts itsslf TO the rise and fall of
the water and can be used at all times.
1t is due to Capt. WHY that this road
has been repaired aud made fit for
travel, and we understand he has
spent in the neighborhood of $500 on
IL out of his own pocket. Let US look
at the Insignificant sum the merchants
of Providence subscribed. Leaving
out the fifty dollars which Messrs.
Purdy aud Schneider contributed,
the merchants subscribed about fifteen
dollars--perhaps $3.50. This was
merely subscribed. Some fatty refused
to give cent, while with some who
did subscribe, 1t was like squeezing
blood out of turnip to collect ii.
Now isn't that enterprise for your A
great encouragement to the people of
West Carroll to do their trading here.
This shows you up in very poor
light gentlemen !

ANTHRAcNosE OF COTTON.

This is the name given by the
United States Agricultural Depart
ment to disease which has lately
manifested itself in the cotton fields
of Bunch's Bend, and which is CON-
parative stranger to East Carroll.
Last week we made o short mention
of it. Capt. r. N. Rea called our at
tention to the disease, which, he says,
is the first he has ever seen of it in
this parish. He frat noticed it on his
plantation and the adjoining ones, es-
pecialIy ON the sandy land. 1t comes
on one-half, three-fourth and seven
eighth grown bolls in the shape Of a
spot, looking as if piece had been
Clipped ont of the boil by knife. 1t
appears on boIIs after the first tier.
The three-fourth grown boIls turn
black half way down, commencing at
the tip end and popping open with
nothing in them. The one-half
grown boIls dry up entirely.
Capt. Rca considers it quite a dan-
gerous disease and should it spread,
very serious consequences might re-
suit therefrom. The report of the
United States Secretary of Agricul-
ture for 1890, speaking of it says,
"this disease was first brought to our
notice in 1888; and since that time we
have received many complaints and
inquiries concerning it. 1t is especial
ly destructive to the bolls, which il at
lacks before they are ready to open,
stopping their growth, causing them
to crack open, thus exposing the i'm
mature cotton fiber 10 the action of
rain and dew and to the attacks of in.
sects. Under these circumstances the
cotton decays and the crop suffers ac-
cordiDgly. In this way our CORE
spondents report that they lose from
10 to % per cent of their crops. The
effects described are found to be due
10 the action of parasitic fungus very
closely resembling the one causing the
hollyhock disease. 1t has been found
to possess great vitality, being able to
live for weeks in the heated air of q
laboratory. The spores produced by
the fungus have also been shown to
be capable Of producing the disease
in healthy boil; both facts pointing
to the necessity of removing diseased
plants from the fields, and of practic-
ing rotation of crops. Plans are being
made to test the value of fnngicides
of this disease during the next cotton
growing season."
We hope that it will not spread in
this parish and that the sporadic cases
will not reappear next season.

rhs 1mportapee Of Good cooklpr.

A good cook is a treasure a mistress
rarely wishes to offend. How often
does one hear woman say something
like the following, after recounting
faults of a most serious character on the
part of her cook: "Still / cannot afford
to part with her, for she is far better
cook than l can get elsewhere. She sat
isfes my husband better than any we
have had, and you know how difficult
he is to please. There is no peace if his
dinner does not please him."
eff woman is at the mercy of the
cook, and she is not good" as a writer
have already quoted has remarked, "her
table will soon become intolerable. Bad
soup, soft and habby fish, meat burned
outside and raw within-the husband
will soon fly from the Barmecide feast
and take refuge in his club, where he
will not only find food that he can di-
gest, but at the same time fly from the
domestic discord that usually accom-
panies i'll cooked victuals at home"
Bad cookery may seem small thing
in comparison with other evils, but the
results are as dire as those that followed
the proverbial lost nail in the horses
shoe-wasted incomes. impaired health,
drinking habits, family discord. Bad
cookery, more often than not, causes
'the little rift within the lutte" which
by and by makes the music of married
life mute. Whom God hath Joined in
matrimony i'll cooked joints and i'll
cooked potatoes have often nut asunder"
