Editor st. Tammauy FARMKR:
During the late prevalence Of yellow
fever, in New Orleans, and the conss.
quent Influx Of persons into our parish
seeking refuge from that malady, few
of our citizens felt themselves called
upon to circulate al sorts Of damaging
reports Is to that ailment prevailing II
our midst, every one OF which VA
found to be false. This detriment r
our progress was promptly squelched
by . timely ordinance passed by oul
P olice Jury, imposing . fne and i'm
prisonment for such misdemeanors.
Now, I beg to call your attention to
another species Of the same pr actice
which is quite - injurious to our com
munity. On account Of visitations o.
yellow fever and other drawbacks "a
more favored communities than ours,
many persons are turning towards oul
parish with aview to permanent locatiou
In our midst, but quite majority Of
them are deferred from doing 90 BY
slanderous and false statements made
to these strangers by few disaruntlet
natives whom advancement has left be
hind. or who are willing to damage, BY
Islander, the whole world in order t.
put q few dimes into their Golfers
There are very few Of these persons
among rs, and they and their method
are well known to us, and little Of thu
effective legislation referred to above
would. more than likely, have the de
sired effect, Is 1t did In that case.
Respectfully, OBSERVES.

A farmer tells an exchange that
he has made a discovery thai
will be of vast importance to the
farmers during the dry season.
He has found that by planting
onions and potatoes in the same
field in alternate rows the onions
become so strong that they bring
tears to the eyes Of the potatoes in
such vast volumes that the roots
of the vines are kept moist and a
crop is raised in spite of the
drought.

BY the middle Of June another
big industry will have entered full
operation in st. Tammnny Parish,
and the firm Of Kern, Moyse & Co.,
who have their New Orleans office
ct No. 829 Canal street. will start
going the immense brick kilns which
lie upon the Chinchuba river, and
be ready to supply in a very short
time some 60. 900 bricks per day to
the trade or to the contractors and
builders.
Within the past ten days deal
was closed whereby the abuve named
firm became les sees Of the st. Tam
many Brick Works, originally the
Southern Brick and Tile Company.
and under the expert management
Of Mr.. Charles F. Ryan, general
manager, they expect 20 turn cut .
quality of brick which cannot be ex-
celled in the South. The senior
member OF the firm is Mr.. Joe Kern.
the well known citizen and retail
snoe dealer Of No. 829 Canal street.
He will have charge of the firms
affairs IN New Orleans, and it goes
without saying that business man
of his ability will make q record for
himself In this new departure. Mr..
Edward Moyse is . member Of the
large Cincinnati wholesale wLiskey
dealers. Moyse Brothers.
The bricks which the new con-
pany will manufacture will be
slightly larger than the usual size,
and will be essentially building,
paving and re-pressed brick. all, Of
course, hard-pressed. The big kilns
Of the plant will bake from three to
four hundred thousand At one time,
and it 10 expected. from present APP
pearances, that their full capacity
will be required At oil times. One
Of the chief feature. Of the plan,
will be the skilled labor employees.
1t is q well-known fact that the quail
ty Of the brick depends upon the
manner in which it is handled, and
the new firm has spared no efforl
to obtain the best brick workers in
Ibis section Of tue country. they
will employ some seventy-five to
one hundred at the plant. The
clay is taken directly At the plant
and the bricks when burnt, can be
barged and lowed over to the city
ana down the canals at . minimum
cost and time. The company owns
two barges and tug in the lease,
and these, with others, may be en-
ployed.-Daily States.
