favored our Office with a pleasant

Say, Mr.. Editor, does it not
strike you very forcibly how certain
| men in this parish are of the ttswap-
coat with-you" style7 Is it not
fact that some of them have time and
again openly professed and supported
the Republican party, and are to-
day posing before the public, as
Democrats pure land white Off
all the temerity and audacity this
scribe has ever read about, this new
move by some of the ssProfesh" far
excells all. A man may be a De-
mocrat, Republican,, Populite or
belong to any party he wishes; that
is his right and his business. We al
ways respect his opinion, and adj
mire his convictions, but we have
no utter use for that individual
whose changes are as sudden as the
moon, and who varies as often as
spring showers.
AS sure as duck will swim, some
of the candidates for various Offices
at the next election, are now strad-
ding the fence awaiting an oppor-
| tunity to drop; and swear allegiance
to the stronger faction. This
may work, but we doubt it much.
The masses have been taught severe
lessons, and unless we are making a
big blunder, every ballot cast at the
next white primary election, will be
to down the professional politician,
whose greed for Office makes him
disregard the principles and doc
trines of party.

Notwithstanding the long CONT
nued drought, crops in general are
doing nicely. Corn is being rapid
ly laid by, and barring all storms,
that crop this fall should be the
largest this section has seen for
many years.
Did any body.say picnic7 Well,
here's pointer. The season is on
hand, roads are first class, and we
fail to see what's up to keep the
