The women's edition of the Sun
Leader was a credit to the bright wo-
men Of Wyoming. 1t was not only a
well-printed publication, but the ar
ticles therein showed remarkable lit
erary ability and training. The ladies
OF the capital who had the work in
charge deserve oommendation for their
painstaking efforts in the interests of
education. The money made through
the publication Of the paper will go to

The Boys Are Coming.


The New Orleans Picayune says
that the Second Regiment, United
States Volunteers Hoods Immunes)
have sailed from Cuba and reached
Camp Mead, near New York City, on
the 29th of May. There the entire
Regiment will be kept in quarantine
DIT Camp Mead until Tuesday, the
goth of June, when the Command
will be mustered out. The Regiment
sailed from New Orleans on the 18th
of July, 1899, and reached Santiago
de Cuba on 4th. of August. The
boys have been in Cuba about ten
months, and although they arrived
too late for battles with the Spaniards
they have done splendid service as
guards, and by having to stay in that
climate have taken as many risks
from disease as they would have had
they participated in the Santiago cam
paign.
Vermilion parish has furnished 3
soldier boys to this Command, Cap
Mike Packard of Co K oderly sergent
F. M Leguenec, and Fred Dupuy
who is a private in Capt Broussard' s
company. The people will be glad
to greet these defenders of their coun-
try's flag and they may expect a royal
welcome when they reach home.

Railroad Work Progressing.


The ALEXANDRIA Town Talk says''we
saw z. B. Compton Tuesday morn
ing, who has the contract for a .por-
ton of the grading being done on the
Gulf, Louisiana & Great Northern
Railway. He says that he is getting
along very nicely with his work, and
that a large portion of the right of way
has been cleared by Mr.. Miller, who
has sub-contracted for five miles OF
the road. Mr.. Compton is at work
about four miles from Pineville."
This would indicate that this railroad
has a chance OF being built.

According to The Macon Telegraph
Robert Steward is a pretty level-head-
ed and prosperous farmer, living near
Americas, Ga, and The Telegraph
says of Mr.. Steward, that he ssclaims
that ii is easy to raise $50 bushels of
ground peas to the acre. and that 200
bushels of sweet potatoes is not I'M
common with him on one acre of land.
These two crops he raises beautifully
and thus a large number of hogs are
fattened every winter by him with
slight cost. He says the western far
mer makes money raising meat by
feeding corr that is raised on land
that cost $50 per acre, and forty
bushels per acre is a big crop, while
here in Georgia $50 bushels per acre
of chufas, ground peas or potatoes
a be easily made or land worth only
SO per acre, and these last-named
crops are for feeding swine. Mr..
Stewart makes Wagonloads of bacon
every year for this market, and bis
splendid example has borne fruit, so
that a great many farmers here are
going into this lucrative business on
a much larger scale now since be has
demonstrated by an experience Of
several years that it is the most profit
able business that can be carried on
