SPEAKING AT PoWELLsL1LLE.
POWELLsvILLE, n. @.


Mr.. EDIToR:-I thought would let
some other WRITER report our meeting
of the oath uIE, but as no one has done
so I will try to give you some Of the
outlines of the meeting. We had a
nice day, having a fine shower the
night before which laid the dust nice
Iy. Col. Harry Skinner and Bro.
Mewborne were the speakers. Col.
Skinner spoke in the morning two and
three quarter hours; and many who
had never heard him before said it was
a grand speech, though he was quite
unweu that morning.
At the close of his speech we had a
sumptuous dinner, in which the ladies
overdid themselves, both in quantity
and quality.
After an intermission of one and one
half hours for refreshments, President
Mewborne commenced his speech, but
we were deprived of hearing him as we
had to take Col. Skinner to Ahoskie.
We appointed twelve men to enlist
the people in a Peoples party club, but
as I did not get from Ahoskie in time
the club was not organized, though
some of the committee say they got
between IS and 100 men to join.
1 regret exceedingly the failure to
organize, as many have been at loss
to know why it was not done, so l
write this to let the people know that 1
was not at all to blame, as the meeting
adjourned before could get back. We
had a very large gathering, the largest
ever assembled at Powellsville, I think.
have heard that some of the Cleve
land party took exceptions to Col. Skin
ner's speech because he held those who
endorse the present administration
guilty with those who are in authority
and do not try to pass any laws to re-
lieve the present great distress in the
land. But did not see anything for
an unbiased mind to take exceptions
to.
Upon the whole must say I think
it was grand triumph for the people
who favor political reform.
I regret that the chairman of the
Peoples party executive committee IN
BERTHE was not present He seems not
to be active in organizing the party,
and hope he will take the matter into
consideration and call a meeting at an
early day in order that we may reor-
ganize and get ready for the fight to
come off next November, for it will
surely be hard fight, but the people
must win, sooner or later.
With good wishes for the success of
your valuable paper, and also the
grand success of the great struggle In
which the people are engaged, I am
Truly yours,
M. J. RAYNRR.

Narrowing in the spring by loosen
ing the soil adds to the growth of the
crop, and the loss of the few plants is
much more than compensated by the
rapid tillering and vigor of those which
remain. Sowing in drills and hoeing
between them is much practiced in
Europe. The additional amount thus
frequently raised would seem to justify
the adoptionpf this mode of cultiva
tion in this Country.

y Asparagus may be grown with the
use of fertilizers as well as by the ap
plication of manure. Experiments
made during the past two years are
very favorable to fertilizers, applica-
tions being made late in the fall and
early in the spriug. A hen with brood
of chicks is the best protection against
the asparagus beetle.

Some people seem to think that when
they sell a commodity they must re-

trinsic value as the commodity they
sell. They are advocates of gold, and
if they are right then the small amount
of gold in the world is practically
worth all the other property in the
world.

A SUGAR HOUSE PARTY AMI
DANCE.

On last Tuesday evening the young
folks of Thibodaux gave a sugar house
party and dance on Acadia Plantation
belonging to Hon. Andrew Price.
The rendezvous was at Mrs. Carrie
Curtis of st. Philip Street. who togeth-
er with Mrs. Otis knoblocll and Mrs.
NJ. Holland acted as chaperons. Mr..
j. Scott Williams sent three large
wagons in town to convey the merry
makers. At 8 o'clock p. m. the crowd
left for their destination in these rural
wagons and several li-hoes and bug
gies. Col. w. H. Price had made
grand preparations for this reception,
and surprised them by an impromptu
ball roOm on One of the floors of the
sugar house where he had musicians
in readiness for their arrival. The
young folks had Il grand time, enjoy
ing dancing and promenading in and
around the sugar house. During the
intervals of the dance, cakes, refresh
ments and pealed sugar cane were
handed around for the d%electation of
the visiting party. Col. Price acquit-
ted himself most creditably on this
occasion, and many were the compli-
ments expressed for his kind and law
ish hospitality. The general verdict
is that the affair was the grandest
sugar house party ever given in La
fourche, and to Col. w. H. Price the
success is mostly due.
To the committee. composed of
Messrs A. j. Fryou, H. r. Dupre, A.
P. Engerran and F. j. Barrilleaux, Jr.,
we express sincere thanks for the in
vitation sen us. The only regret we
have is, that circumstances prevented
us from attending we feel that we
; would have enjoyed ourselves, and
! would have had a gala time.

ANOTHER SWEEPING FIRE.
NAPOLEONvILLE ALMOST ENTIRELY DE.
STROYED

At 20 minutes to eleven o'clock on
Wednesday night a fire broke out in
the town of Napoleonville, and before
the citizens were able to realize their
position, the flames had made such a
Roadway. that all their efforts were
unable to check it. The entire bust
ness portion was almost entirely de-
stroyed, embracing all that portion Of
the town between the public bridge
and the canal. running almost two
block deep. We are told that only
one merchant store in the town re-
mains untouched. 1t would seem that
the fire originated in a small residence
back of Mr.. Anto's barber shop, and
just below the Dupaty Hotel. The
two livery stables have been destroy
ed and so has the market. The same
portion of the town was consumed by
fire some years ago.
