discernment in grouping the plants, blending

taller.
Sheriff I. A. Broussard, leaves to-day for
Baton Rouge with batch of prisoners con-
victcd at the last term of court, including
in the number, Erwin Meaux. AS there are
both white and colored prisoners in the lot,
Ike is likely to experience some inconve
niencc, inasmuch the law forbids him to
take colored prisoner in the white COM
lartment, and he is enjoined from the one
devoted to the colored people. However
there is no doubt that Ike will safely land
his prisoners.

very serious and Leonard re-arrested

the wounds of Jacques.
