African Cotton.

Many OF our farmers, 10 doubt, re-
member to have read in the newspapers,
the description Of the new cotton
known as "Jackson's African Limbless
Cotton"
Experiments with this cotton have
been made this ear in the parish of
Lafayette and ST. Martin. In the latter
place the Editor of The Lafayette I'D
r~ertiser has three acres under cultlva-
ton and DR.. Hopkins has fouI acres at
Lafayette. Untn.how the fields of this
cotton have evoked the utmost adlnira-
ton from the farmers, and persons
competent to judge do predict that the
cotton will yield at least W. bales to
the acre without the aid of Il fertilizer.
During the past year the Editor Dt
The Lafayette Adrcrtiser had sold a Ger
tain number OF small packages of this
encouraging reports from those who
planted it. and these reports la pub
fishes in his newspaper fbr the'Informa-
ton of the public. Considering tue
great advantage Of tho African cotton
over the ordinary va,inties, it would
seem advisable for four W people TO
interest themselves i'll the planning OF
the special seed. The lint of this par
ticular cotton is known to be the finest
on the market, and certificates attostiDg
this fact can be furnished by Editor
Van der Cruysen, OF The Lafayette Ad-
r~ertiscr, to all who will apply.
This seed will be offered for sale ill
limited quantity and orders will be
filled in rotation received. First come,
first served. Only one responsible
agent will be appointed in each parish
and the most rigid precautions will be
taken to prevent fraud by sailing spE:-
ious seed. All seed will be shipped
direct to buyers, upon the order "f the
agent, by the Editor of The Lafayette
Advertiser.
The seed in question will have the
preference over all "new seed" that may
make their appearance, as experiments
have demonstrated beyond doubt that
this cotton is now we'll adapted to this
latitude.
Applications far agency must be
made to the Editor of The Lafayette
Advertiser, Lafayette La and appli-
cants must send good references.
The editor of The Adrertiscr refers to
the following persons as to his good
faith in the handling of the seed:
CHAs. d. CAFFERY, mayor Of Lafayette
La.
DR.. N. p. Moss, Pres. First National
Bank, Lafayette, La,
CHAs. 0. MoUToN. Postmaster, Lafa-
yette, La.

Editor OPELoUsAs COURIER =
The grand Chicot tournament and
ball come off on schedule time on last
Saturday. And o conservative specta-
tor put the crowd present at. between
three and four hundred. Much credit is
duo t6the young Griffith boys and their
sisters Mrs. Philip d. Harpin and Miss
D. Grace Griffith, for the success of
same, as nothing Imaginable was left
undoHe to make all comfortable and at
home. The riding was excellent and
very spirited. Capt. Sam Haas the old
war horse-but looking to be not over
80 years old SO grand did he appear,
was grand marshall of the day with
Major Frank Wharton and H. L.
Erich time keepers and judges. Mr..
Anstine Wolf won first prize. AID to the
surprise Of oil crowned Miss Lucy Miles
Of Evergreen Queen of the carnival.
Mr.. Isaac Griffith won second prize,
and crowned Miss Dollie Grace Griffith.
Nell Griffith thirtfl and crowned Miss
Efie Tubra, and fourth prize won by
Sam Thomas and crowned Miss Eva
Tatman. The young ladies present
were so numerous and elegantly dressed
hard to say who was the Belle of the
evening. People from OpeIousas, Pla-
quemine, Will Platte. Evergreen, Bun
kie, Elm Bayou, and numerous other
places attended. As no doubt a better
and more elegant description of the
tournament will be given you and your
readers l in haste merely
give you u few brief dots of same.

The Tournament.

AT BAYOU CRICoT, LA, Sept. "a, 1898.
On prancing steeds the knights rode by,
And waved their caps nlOft,
And their snowy plumcs were gently waved,
BY the morning breeZes soft,
The marshall led the gallant band
At the head OF the line was his place,
With a slOwy C-est, and scarlet sash,
He rode with a cOurtly grace,
And the horses pranced with measured step,
To the silvery notes OF the band,
Upon his horse each young knight sat.
So gallant, graceful and grand.
III golden glory the sunlight fell,
On the horses, %trappings bright,
With the gay costumes and milk-white plumes
Twas inGeed q beauteous sight
Each knight bowed low with gallant grace
Ashley passed by the Ladies fair,
Each enc hoped that he'd win q crown
To place on his Sweethearts, hair.
In tine with the music clear and sweet
The bright, procession past
Soon twas heralded beyond our eight
By tho drums, loud beat and the bugles, blast,
When the twilight fell, aud moon shone bright.
Mid the waXen-tapers flare,
A dark-eyed-knlght placed a golden Crown
On y maiden WOndrOus fair,
On Bonded knee thus spoke the knight,
TO the maid OF graceful mien,
Because / love thee Lucy, I crow thee for my
Queen. b &.

AN ARCTIC HUNTER
Bags but Loses His Herd of Musk
Oxen


SEATTLE. Oct. 6.-"Buffalo JONES'" the
well-known hunter, who has been in the
Arctic circle for some time arrived here
today from St. Michael, having accom-
pl.shed an unprecedented journey, full CT
peril and privatons Jones left Oklahoma
territory seventeen months ago for Great
Slave lake and the mouth Of the Mackenzie
river, with the object of bringing out to
civilization a herd Of live musk oxen. He
went in over the Edgmonton route reach
ing Great Slave lake last July, after a long
and per.lous trip.
About two months ago, in company with
Albert Rea Of Alberta, he started on his
homeward journey, coming up the Peel and
Rat rivers, across the Portage to Western
Rat river, over the Western Rat and Por-
cupine to the Yukon. He was thrty-three
days from Great Slave lake to Fort Yukon.
Jones says there are 20OO people who
started over the Edgmonton route Ia the
summer Of 1897 frozen in at Destruction
City. located at the junction Of the Peel
and Rat rivers.
They will not reach civilization before
next July. They are well supplied with
provisions. The winter will be spent in
constructing boats. Among those at De-
struct!on City are Mr.. and Mrs. A, C..
Craig and Mr.. Thumser. all Of Chicago.
Accounting for his failure to bring out
any musk oxen, Jones said he caught sew
eral, but the Esquimaux are superstit.ous
about allowing them to leave the country.
and one night they cut the throats Of his
animals. Jones brought out large amount
OF letters from Destruction City.
