always manages to find little time
to indulge in his great love for the
piscatorial art; and is recognized
as an expert in that line.
-Coxey and his crowd were first
laughed at, then rediculed; but the
smile and criticism seem to have
changed to alarm. AS long as the
unemployed" remained scattered
over the country, it was an easy
matter to manage and control them,
but now that they have congregated
together forming an armey of over
ten thousand men it becomes very
serious matter, and places them
practically beyond control.
1t is rumored that the Carencro
Farmers Alliance, have organized
an independent organization, which
will hereafter be conducted as a
mutual benefit association. 1t is
their intention to establish tannery
here, and will soon commence the
erection of the necessary buildings
for carrying on the business. A
sufficient amount of stock has been
subscribed for, that will justify them
in commencing operations.
Through the courtesy and
kindness of Doctors LESLEY and
Francez your correspondent took
ride for several miles east and west
of Carencro a few days ago where
he found the different crops in fine
condition, and the land in excellent
shape. 1t is rather early to make
any predictions, but the indications
are that we will have large crop
the coming year. Cane, cotton
and corn are doing splendidly.
-:tTaken as a rule" the roads in
the 9th ward are in very good con-
dition. This is the opinion ex-
pressed by everyone. Mr.. Onezime
Breaux,th road overseer, deserves a
great deal of credit tor the work
accomplished. Let the cook work
continue.
DIR. D. T. Courtney was a
visitor in Carencro, last Saturday.
Judging from his appearance, we
would conclude that he has pitched
his tent in a very healthy locality.
