The Crowley Signal says ":he way
to get rich is TO trust nobody, befriend
none, get all you can, stint yourself
and everything that belongs to you, be
friend of no man, let no man be q
friend of yours, be mean, misery aud
despised for some twenty or thirty
years, aud riches will come to you as
sure as disease, disappointment and
death, and when pretty near enough
wealth has been accumulated by a
disregard OF the charities of the
human heart and at the expense of
every enjoyment, death will finish the
work and the body is buried, the
heirs will dance and fight over what
you have left, and the spirit goes
wbere2 to the devil. How do you
like the plan followed by many?"

The quarantine now in force in East
Carroll will work a-great hardship on
the planters, but it is much better TO
be on The safe side and run no chances
of getting the fever by prohibiting all
boats from New Orleans from landing.
One case of fever would cause all the
blame to be placed on our boards of
health for their csrelessness in enforc-
ing the quarantine laws; but we are
glad to say that the members of the
boards will do their duty, in spite of a
few chronic kickers who would prefer
to see boats land from an infected
place than the short line packets that
can attend to all our wants.
