the Confederate military leaders who
attained the full rank at General
Gen. Beauregard was born in 1918 in
the parish of st. Bernard, this State.
In 1888 he graduated from the acad
envy at West Point with distiction
in his class. Lieutenant Beauregard
took part in the war with Mexico in
1S46-7. and was twice wounded, and
was brevetted Captain, and then
Major, for gallantry. On January %,

PROVERBS.

Put away from thee froward
mouth, and peryerse lips put far
from thee.
The wicked shall be a ransom for
the righteous, and the transgressor
for the upright.
A righteous man hateth lying;
but wicked man is loathsome, and
cometh to shame.
The wicked is driven away in his
wickedness; but the righteous hath
hope in his death.
There is a way which seemeth
right unto man, but the end there
of are the ways of death.
The righteous is more excellent
than his neighbor; but the way Of
the wicked seduceth them.
A man shall be satisfied with good
by the fruit of his mouth; and the
recompense of a mans hands shall
be rendered unto him.

Editor BGSSier Banner: Dear Sir
and esteemed friend-It has been
some time since I made an effort to
have anything to say in the columns
of your esteemed paper.
I have read in the Shreveport pa
pers a statement from men that I
think told the truth and I also make
truthful statement: I had thir-
teen head of hogs last summer, for
this years meat, nine of them died
leaving four. One SOW had six pigs
in July, which were weaned first Sep
TENDER and put in pen, at six months
old and I killed the six, which weigh
ed 1876, ITS, 165, $50, lat and 1877
pounds, each, making 1852 pounds,
an average of 1903 pounds to the
hog. The four old ones left from
sickness, Melted 1175 pounds max
ne 2132 pounds pork. In January,
1898, I put up SOW with eight pigs,
which will make 1900 pounds more,
and will be sufficient meat to run the
place.
On the goth of July I planted .
acre of overfowed land in African
millet or chicken corn, from which
was cut and housed nineteen loads
of as fine feed as I ever saw.
In February, 1892, I planted a
crop of Irish potatoes, and replanted
same ground, making two crops,
which gave US plenty of potatoes till
the middle of January, 1898, with
but little cost.
As to king cotton, [ say nothing
in its favor; yet cotton seed is fine
fertilizer for poor land.
With plenty of corn and a few
hogs in pen, fed few drops Of tur-
pentine with little soda in slop, a
week or ten days, we can raise all
the meat and lard necessary for fam,
lily use, with no trouble but regular
attention.
I can sell meat, corn and horses
but there is no money to be realized
in the country. We see Shreveport
commission merchants selling gro
ceries for enormous prices, charging
p per cent. interest all of which
comes out of the farmer.

dreds of farmers who thought their

gave out now find themselves in a

in one where cotton could not put

BENTON, La,
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1893.

Then AND Now-On February rs,
I868-twenty-f five years ago next
Saturday-Congressman Thaddeus
Stevens, of Pennsylvania, and Con
gresham Bingham, of Ohio, appear
cd ct the bar of the Senate to an
nounce the impeachment of President
Andrew johnson. The resolution to
that effect had passed the House of
Representatives on the preceding day
by vote of 125 to AZ. Johnson was
not impeached, but from that day
until he was succeeded by Grant, he
was a mere official fgure-head.-
johnson was nominated and elected
by the Republicans Vice-President
on their ticket with Lincoln in 1864,
and he bitterly hated the Southern
people, bnt he respected the laws of
his country, and would not be a blind
dupe or willing tool in the hands of
the Radicals who wanted to rob the
people of the South of what little the
war had left them, and murder them
Unfortunately if they objected too
much to being robbed. The period of
Reconstruction so called, inflicted
upon the Southern people by the
dominant Republican party of the
North-(when vagabond carpet bag
gers and characterless scallawags, by
aid of negro votes, backed by Fede
raj bayonets controlled by heartless
tyrants like the world-renowned brag-
CART and barn burner, Phil Sheridan,
who asked the Federal Government
to declare Louisianians outlaws, that
he might have them shot down at his
own ''sweet will'')-will ever remain
the darkest and most disgraceful
epoch in The annals oil American his
tory. When recalled, it should cause
the blush of shame to mantle the
cheeks of those in any way RESPONSE
BILE for the great crime.
s'But time at last sets all things
even," and the party that has so long
misgoverned this country-robbing
the whole country and expressing the
South in the most malignant man
ner-was overwhelmingly defeated at
the ballot-box last year by the grand
old Democratic party, and right has
again triumphed over wrong. 1t was
long, stubborn, bitter contest, one
in which many of US have grown
gray, but never weary, in well doing.
AT last the fearless and unconquerable
Democracy of the nation have won
grand and complete victory. On
March 4th Cleveland will be inaugu-
rated President, and with the election
of Roach, Democrat, to the United
States Senate from North Dakota,
Democratic control of the United
States Senate after March 4th is now
an assured fact. This will be the first
time since March 4th, 1S61-when
Abraham Lincoln succeeded James
Buchanan-that the Democrats will
have control of every branch of the
national Government.
