Fourth of July Notes.

| Fourth of July Notes.
The little pony which was in the pa
rade was the property of Miss Matte
Crawford OF Donaldson and was ridden
by the little daughter of Milton Soice.
| There was some misunderstanding
between DIR. Reynolds and the Bremen
ball team as to the division of receipts,
but it is likely that the matter will be
satisfactorily adjusted. The Fourth of
July committee had nothing whatever
to do with the ball games, and any diff
| ficulties with the teams are simply pri-
vate matters between the teams and
DIR. Reynolds.
The order maintained Tuesday was
remarkable. Only five out of the
thousands who thrOnged up and down
the streets, were lodged in Jail. In each
instance the charge was drunkenness.
The entire clique was dismissed with
tout trial this morning.
| 1t is q safe estimation to say that
there were between twelve and fifteen
thousand strangers in town Tuesday.
The hand of Providence was over
Plymouth Tuesday. Withal the big
celebration, the thousands of pounds of
powder exploded, and the great quanti-
ties of fireworks, there was neither an
accident nor fire of enough cOnse-
quence to report.
Among the five sent to prison Tues
day was a man who showed papers
proving himself to be one of Roose-
velt's Rough Riders. 1t is an incident
of some note that one of those worthy
gentlemen should get an interior view
of our Marshall county Jail.
The Zouaves, of KokOmo, who gave
their drill Tuesday are deserving of
flsttering mention. by all odds, it was
the best military drill ever given on our
streets. Amcng the complicated figures
executed were the star, the square, the
loop, the hollow square, and Greek
cross. Capt. John Ault was in CON-
msnd.

Grand jury Report.

Honorable NJ. r. Machen, Judge Of the 9Th Ju-
dicial District Court in and for Grant parish,
State Of Louisiznss-
We your grand jury impaneled for
the September term Of court, and held
over to complete our labors, beg to
submit this our final report. Wehave
carefully examined all complaints
brought before us, and note with
pleasure that they have been few.
We find that the people of our parish
are appreciating the execution of the
law, and a good state Of affairs seems
to exist almost generally, with the
exception of one locality, and we find
this attributable to the sale Of iDtox-
icating liquors. We hope, however,
that at an early day the moral senti-
ment Of our people win be SO elevated
that this will be prohibited through
out the parish. We haveinvestigated
28cases altogether, and we havefound
III true bills.
We have examined the sheriff g
books and accounts, and find them
correct. We find the present system
of collecting fines, and the manage
ment of the prisoners to be a great
saving to the parish. As to the books
and accounts of the parish treasurer,
we beg to say that at our lastsitting
we gave the sums total of his receipts
and Disbursements, with the view Of
investigating more fully at this SEES
sion, and, having no axe to grind aud
no intent or future aspirations, we la
bored to discharge this duty Justly,
and with all fairness to the people
and their treasurer, without any de-
sire to color the report, we now gladly
note that a special committee has
been appointed for that purpose, and
that the matter has been thoroughly
investigated and placed before the
people, and, from the date that this
committee closed the accounts, we
| find them correct.
We have examined the parish Jail
and find 1t well kept and the prisoners
are well treated, according to their
own statements. We examined their
food and found 1t good and well pre-
pared. In our last report we mention
ed the necessity for a water closet,
and we would again recommend that
this matter be attended to at as early
a day as possible We tender our
thanks to this court and It's officers
for favors and kindness shown us,
and, having completed our labors
we beg to be discharged.

advantages of small farm:
mo investment of n small sum

able industry and intelligence can bet
ter provide the necessaries and COM
forts for his family on Il good little
$500 farm than he can by moving to
town and trying tolive out OF a mer-
camille business In which he invests
ten times the worth OF the farm. The
capacity of the farm to supply the
ncessaries of life can only be meas
ured by the numbers who are able to
make demand on 1t through intelfi-
gent labor. Many of the delicacies
which town and city people pay high
pricesfor can be had withoutexpense

We are authorized this week to

of Grant, Winn and Caldwell parishes.
Heholds himself subject to the action

nominations, and is particularly
hopeful that the nomination may be
by primary election, since that Is the
method that seems to be most APP
proved by the people.
Mr.. Wallace is native Of MISSISSIPPI
pi, but has spent almost his entire
life in Louisiana, in Winn parish. His
activity In political circles, in which
he has always been in line with the
regular Democracy, has made him
possibly the best known man in the
district. He is a whole-souled com
panion, and makes and retains friends
readily. He has been a practitioner
in the courts for the past ten or twelve
years, and is a lawyer of considerable
repute. He was born in June, 1850,
and Is therefore now nearly so years
of age, ripe in experience, and excep.
tionally well qualified to represent
the district, being thoroughly familiar
with all it's needs and desires. We
doubt not he will receive a liberia
and hearty support by his friends
throughoutthed district, and if elected
will fill the position with credit tc
himself and satisfaction to the people
