Bro. Dunn. who runs the Peoples De-
mands, at Colfax, must have had q fit of
indigestion last week. He thinks it aw.
full that Grant parish has only got about
$4,000 % worth of free corn from the
State relief committee. If he will only
make the estimate he will see that we
got a fair pro rata Of the amount al
compared with the other fourteen par
ishes. He ought to cultivate cbarita-
bic disposition and do less fault finding.

We publish this week the report Of
the parish relief committee relative to
the distribution of corn and other pro-
visions. In semi-official communication
to the special relief committee, Chairman
Pennington expresses the opinion that
we may expect but little if any more
aid from the State committee" In view
OF the fact that there may be special
cases OF prolonged restitution, that char
ity and humanity demands should be re-
lieved. we request the citizens of any and
all settlements to make known the facts
to this Office or to the members of the
parish committee, so special efforts NAV
be made in their behalf.
