WILLIE PLATTE, Ia.

May End, 1884.
Weather hot in the day and cold
enough for blankets at night.
The town had O good shower last Mon
day week, but north OF here it is very
dry.
North winds very unfayorable for tho
crop.
Two mail contractors were here in the
last few days, to sub-let contracts. They
have had great difficulty In finding any
one to take their contracts off their
hands, as the compensation was small.
But still think they found someone.
We will have, after July 1st, three
routes leaving from here each day. The
main route was LET out to negro-from
here to Washington, through Plaisance.
] think Chieot should cease boasting
on the G. NJ. Thompson Hustlers (base-
ball club). The Vile Platte team bested
them on last Sunday by a score q TO Ii.

Bssyors Current,

May 2lst, 1894.
How does this epld wave meet with
your feelings? II is rather too much
for we Atchafalaya people; not that T
have as yet heard Of its injnring the
cotton and corn, hut we inst don't fancy
cold weather in May, after the overeoats
and winter dresses have all been put
away.
Miss NJ. L. Scott has gone TO her homo
at Morrow, La.
Mr.. Newton Richard returned by rail-
roai from New Orleans on Thursday.
deau lof of pretty dry goods, dc.
DIR. Il. T.. Oden took a "fiying" trip up
the railroad last week. ',Fis not often
that the DIR. can get away.
Dir. Swords, of Lecompte, is with us
this week. He has been expected for
some time, aud many have been saving
their dental work for him.
The Presbyterian minister at Plaque
mine, Rev. 5. J. Dunning, filled our pull
pit Sunday morning, at IL o'clock, and
IN the afternoon at 3 O'clock, and it has
been some time since we have had such
a treat as his fine sermons afforded lis.
Mr., Dunning was entertained while
here by our friends Mr.. and Mrs. w. II.
Jelks, and was met and taken back to
the train by Mr.. w. S. Boykin.
Rev; j. y. Roy, pastor of the NJ. t..
Church at Simsport, passed through our
neighborhood Friday, the 18th inst, ac-
companied by the Presiding Elder, Mr..
Davies, and Rev. Mr.. Turner, pastor of
| the Big Cane Church. We learn that
they had just closed very interesting
| meeting at Big Cane, and were on their
way to Simsport to hold the regular
meeting of the Ne. Il. Church of that
place.
Several parties are still getting out
| ash cord wood. Since the Steamer John
| ID. Schully has been running in this and
| the Teehe trade, the wood does not lay
| at Bayou Current landing long.
! No picnics, no fish fries, no amusement
of any kind-the air of business is with
| the farmer, and we must look to the fu-
ture for pleasure. Adieu.

state under contract by the New Eng
land Granite company. The model is
six feet four inches in height, and in
the statue will be increased to seven
feet. 1t represents the revolutionary
hero in the full major generals uni
form of the continental army, leaning
in an attitude of partial repose against
tree trunk. The figure is strilSingly
lifelike, and the pose remarkably
graceful, easy and natural. The dress
is absolute correct in all details, being
taken from a uniform in the archives
Iof the State Historical society. The
face and head of the distinguished
subject are splendid evidences of the
artists creative genius.
There are no authentic portraits OF
Stark at the age represented by the
statue, except an amateur effort from
memory, and it was necessary for Mr..
Conrads to produce composite result;
in fact, al ideal presentment. In this
he succeeded admiral bly,, after careful
study of the life and character of the
man. The face is in complete harmony
with the heroic figure, ard in whole
and detail is perfect ideal of the hero
of Bennington. Its strongly marked
lines are suggestive of the courage
and force of character of the master
full citizen-soldier which made him one
of the most conspicuous figures of the
period. From an artistic
and technical standpoint the work is
above criticism, and the statue will
make fitting companion to Webster
in the national gallery.
