crops show Il good and general i'm
provement.
While corn is likely to he II rather
short crop, yet a goodly acreage had
been planted. and after the harvest it
is not anticipated that there will he
any marked departure from all aver
age corn crop. The cool and dry
weather that the early plant had to
contend with in all but the more
southern parishes Is the %unfavorable
condition 10 which the decrease can
he attributed. Corn is generally low
in size. but the late plant is quite
promising.
Cotton blooms are repnrted much
more common than a week ago. This
staple has continued to improve and
the stands are generally good. There
ale but few reports Of boil worms and
lice. The crop is clean and growing
well. but would be improved by rains
in the dronglity sections. and by gener-
ally warmer nights-particularlv in
the central and north portions of the
State.
Cane has made a magnificent
growth. generally. and is an excellent

crop that vas laid by. Where excess

1 Sad Case That Touched the Judges
Heart In the Christmas Season.

Heart In the Christmas Season.
When the dispossess case of Jacob
Korn against David Samkin was called
IN the Fifth judicial district court yes
terday morning. a girl 10 years old,
with a torn shawl about her bead and
shoulders, advanced tremblingly TO the
rail and handed a letter to Justice
G%oldfogle.
She represented S.4inkiE. tie tenant.
who owed korI fyr the rent Of three
rooms on tie second four OF the tene-
ment at SO Attorney street. This is the
letter:
Judge Goldfogoil:
Please EXCUSE nc because | came my father
is sick aud he is laying in he'd my mother got
born a little baby it is . weeks and she does not
feel well. And she can't come to the tril. We
have nothing to eat and nothing to burn and
go we can't pay no rend. My father has no
work for 6 or : months. We are for children,
/ am 10 years on the IL; my sister is 5 years
on the 6 and my brother is 2 years and my lit
tie sister Is 2 weeks. We 4 children we beg you
and please take care of US and not mock US out
in the street my father tries for us very much
and he can't help us bacause it is bad time now
bacause he can't pay the rend and cant give US
to eat he is sick.
The girl wept copiously while JUS
tice Goldfogle struggled with this COM
munication, but when he questioned
her she answered with keen intelli-
gence. She was sure she had written
the letter herself and explained that her
parents formerly lived in Cherry street,
and that she knew the location of the
court because she used to pass it daily
On her way to school.
Justice Goldfogle turned t. Agent
Boltz, who represented Landlord Korn,
and suggested that as the case was a
very distressing one Mr.. Korn could
find no better opportunity for the exer-
else of leniency.
You may see from this letter." the
justice said, "kow pitiable the plight of
this family is. The girl says they have
neither food nor fuel. that her mother
and father are i'll and helpless and have
no means of sustenance. It is the
Christmas season, too. and there could
be no better time for the exercise of
charity. 1t seems to me that Mr.. Korn
might
The agent held up both hands in pro-
test against the supposition that Mr..
Korn might do anything of the kind.
Il I'M only the agent" he said, land
! am doing no more than my duty.
They have not paid the rent. IAN
not help it."
The justice looked at the child who
had come through the storm to plead
for a few days more under the roof
where there was neither food nor fire.
Go home" he said, land tell your
mother she may have until Wednesday
night to pay the rent"
The girl was gone in an instant.
If it is the last thing / do on EARTH"
Justice G%oldfogle continued. III see to
it that this family has a Christmas
dinner"
The agent was keenly affected by the
girls story and offered no opposition to
the decision.-New York Herald.

FROM GIBSON CITY.
Correspondence

Gibson, La, June 25th, 1894.
The continued rains of the past few
weeks. have materially damaged the
Yong corn, and has also retarded the
planting of sweet potatoes in this sec
ton. lie early corn a1d cane was
fortunately, for the most part. laid by
before the rainy season had fairly set
in. Corn isn't expected to yield more
than half a crop tins yea owing to
tile long drought in the spring. Cane
is growing rapidly, and looks we'll.
The public roads ale pretty near i'm
passable. There has been so much
hauling done since the we. weather
set III. a few days of wind and sun
shine will put them in good condition
- they ale well drained by the bay u
Mn /. Lacassagne of Greenwood,
recently purchased a sugar refining
outfit from Col. Rivers OF New Or
leans. and has had it brought by the
water route from the plantation in st.
Mary Parish to lis own place on Bayou
Black, aud will begin at once to put
things in trim tor the coming season.
Mr. Laecassagne proposes buying up
all the cane made by the small plant
ers, which will be a decided advantage
t" this locality, where the soil is so
admirably adapted to the cultivation
Of cane. 1t is rumored that the late
Senator Gibson's place, Coax Forest
has been purchased by Mr.. Lacdssa-
gne and will be planted III zane this
coming Year.
Society in Gibson has been quite
ftstlve for several weeks past. a
dance is given by the young people
nearly every week. and there has been
two minstrel performances at
0'Ronrke's Hall, which proved very
entertaining, especially to the small
boys.
! Next week several of our society
girls will visit Thibod1ux and take in
the pleasures Of the Teachers Insti-
tnte. Among them will be the Misses
Lon and Agnes O'Rourke and Miss
Lon Pratt, our ;ndefatigable school
ma'ams. The schools in the parish
close much earlier than last year.
Last Sunday week the excursion
from New Orleans to Morgan City set
down between 90 and 80 exclusion
lists in our place, who all declared
themselves perfectly charmed with all
they saw and heard an5 they one and
all declared it was their intention to
come ~again-even if it does rain in
Gibson.
The tugboat Shamrock from Morgan
City, with two barges is in town.
1t is said hat the parish dredge
! boat now being built at Bayou Ramos,
will shortly be put in Bayou Black.
