His hohor Mayor Hamley, opened
up The May festivities quite briskly
on the lst ipstant, Notwithstanding the
Indictment weather that prevailed.
The first visitors that put in an ap-
pearance at his May matinee were
Jake Swecny and Will Rhodes, two
festive colored personages of high
pretentions. They werc charged with
shooting off pistols within the corpor-
ate limits. to which they submissiyely
plead guilty and were taxed $50 and
costs each for their midnight amuse'
meet. High priced coons are they.
Mr.. Eugene Marlborough was the
next repentant applicant for easy
Justice, and it was handed him in thu
shape of $50 and costs for disturbing
the peace on Sunday morning.
Mary Green, colorcd, who had beer
located for short time in the localit!
known as smokey row." was prove'
to have kept a disordcrly house. hi
4 honor gave her immediate leave 0
absence for two years, deeming he
staying outside of the corporate limit
for that period of time as essential t
the towns moral welfare, and thu
ended the Mayors May day.

WEATHER CROPS &C

The heavy rains of Sunday, Monday,
and Tuesday nights, brought every
thing ia the shape of work on the
plautations to q stand still. Such con-
tinuous down pouring has been rarely
known in this section; fully s inches
of water must have fallen during the
week, having an injurious effect ppon
the young cotton, aside from stopping
the progress of the hoes aud ppws'
On nearly every plantation where the
drainage was imperfect the water
covered the young plants IN
all the low places aud they continued
covered for sometime because OF the
vast quantity OF water that came
down from the clouds.
To this was added very cool nisht'
and mornings, the mercury at sunlls'
being but little above so, which lal
put together makes the outlook TO-
cotton gloomy enough. Corn is dons
| well and from all we can learn tier
has been an abundance of it planle'
in this parish.
The health of our people is exec
lent. Business not booming in 90
! way.

The object Of the tax election 10 oe
held on Monday, the 9th Of May may
not be as fully understood as it should
be. Already there exists an ordinance
declaring a fivc-mill tax collectible in
favor of the Lake Providence q West
ern Railway Company when certain
conditions shall. have been complied
with by the COMPANY. The cond'-
lions of that ordinance are not cousid-
cred sufficiently favorable to induce
investors 10 become inter sted in the
construction of the road, while as now
nresented. it is eminently attractive.
The advantage to the citizens OF the
town consists in the offering ola bonus
in such form as will most certainly
secure the building of the fret SIX
miles road. Ifthe Company succeed
in constructing six miles and equip
ping it, they will be able to mortgage
II 10 meet the cost Of another six
miles, which in turn can also be mort
gagged for third section Of six miles
and thus establish a road of indefinite
length. There is concurrent feeling
of Indifference as TO who may build
and operate the road. The benefits
will accrue to the citizens no matte,
| by whom the road NAV be built anf
operated. II would appear to be th'
part of wisdom for the citizens TO vote
this amended tax, if they can thereb!
stimulate some enterprising people L
give us even the beginning Of a na'7oa
guage Acknowledgment development
will thereby ensue.

THE PROSPECT.

There are fortunately exceptions
even in unfortunate conditions u
things, and we'll for the people Of EAT
Carroll just now that such is the cas',
for the immediate prospect from AZ
AGRICULTURAL, commercial and financial
standpoint is anything but encourage
ing.
The average planting this year
behind time, and most of those whd
plau,ed early, their planting was fol-
| lowed by a prolonged drouth, and
when the rains came, causing the
young plant to appear above the
crusted surface cold nights and morn
ings stuuted its growth to great ex-
tent, placing it further behind for the
season. TO this add the recent heavy
raius almost invariably followed BY
cool weather. which have prevented
much needed plantation work to MAKE
| the young cotton healthy and vigor
Gus. and the situation is pictured in al
/ its discouraging colors. but not owe
drawn.
We know from long experience tn
. "great outcome in cotton" all thing
being equal; but where things are no
all naturally equal the cotton plant I
, spindling in its growth, sheds its fruit
or grows rank aud weedy with littl
: or nothing upon the stalks. IN
spindled-shank process has already e
in with a late season to boot, and nos
. comes the floods from the uppe
streams threatening danger and de'
q trnction by inundation to large POI
8 ton of our parish.
/, We have no desire to croak, not tn
= least: we abhor croaking of all kind
! and write this simply TO show tn
the prospect is decidedly discouragin
lust now, and calls for all the watcl
a full attention, courage aud determin
l. ton OF planters, merchants and pc
pie generally in our parish to meet u
n coming emergency. 1t has been wis
ly " said that awhas is everybody's but
