THE LAST DAY OF THE FAIR.

The annual fair OF the East Carroll
Fair Association closes this evening.
That IL has been complete success in
every feature lie patent 10 all. Our
people deserve great credit for the Gu
thusiasin they have manifested, and
those who have visited us and con-
tributed exhibits, have orr sincere
thanks. We cannot go into the details
until next week, but we will say this
that Lake Providence has doue it,
self great, and that.t the parish OF East
Carroll demonstrated that its people
eau put up as good fair as any por-
ton of the State. We have a fine
country, possessing great natural
advantages, and capable of the highest
state of development. Our fair has
proven that we are on the road 10 an
advanced stage of agricultural i'm
provement, aud that great possibilities
lie In store for us.
We hope that next year our annual
fair will eclipse even the one which
draws to q close to-day, and that each
succeeding year will mark great
strides in the march of Improvement.

On Monday Mr.. James McCulloch,
of Cottonw God, brought us in some Of
the new cotton that he planted this
year, and from the looks of it, it CAM
be beat Ii is called the Russell Big
Boil Prolific, or Ozier bender. The
bolls are very large aud the seed
black aud oily, while the cotton holds
well to the pod. Ii is not long staple,
but is an excellent short staple cotton,
and is said to be an excellent variety
for our planters TO plant. Mr.. Nc
Culloch had 1870 pounds of. seed COT
ton which made bale of cotton
weighing 600 pounds net. This shows
what il eau do, aud the cotton will
make bale and balfto two bales TO
the acre. Mr.. S. Cohen, the cotton
man, purchased the bale, paying 81 cts.
for it.

The trade from across the river this
season has been the best for many
years, and our merchants are doing
everything possible to draw customers
from that direction. Fair and square
dealing is their motto, aud the people
who can come from across the river
will find the prices TO compare with
either Vicksburg or GreeDville. Our
merchants want their trade, aud they
will be treated right. There Is no
town the size of Providence where the
merchants carry larger stocks OF
goods. aud as TO prices they will conn.,
pete with any one.

A MONUMENT TO OUR CONFED-
ERATE DEAD.

= E
When Mr.. Jas. S. Millikin was in
Springfield, Mo-, last September, he
Visited the beautiful grounds Of the
Confederate cemetery in that city. and
was very much impressed with the
noble attempts made by its citizens to
adorn and beautify the grounds. In
this cemetery lie the bones of the Con-
federate dead who fell in the battle of
Wilson's Greek or Oak Hills. Will
sons Creek was one of the bloodiest
battles of the civil war. 1t was fought
near Springfield. Although great val
or was displayed on both sides, the
Confederates won the day In this
battle the Third Louisiana regiment
took an important part and lost great
many men. 1t was commanded by
Col Hebert The Monticello Rifles
belonged to the Third Louisiana regi-
ment, Major Sam Richards, Captain.
Most of the men composing this COM
pany were citizens of Carroll and the
surrounding parishes, considerable
numbers of whom are still living.
While Mr. Millikln was in Spring
field. he was authorized to raise in
East Carroll something on the fund
for the erection of monument to the
Confederate dead in this cemetery a.
Spring field. file has already made
some efforts in this direction, and we
hope he will succeed in sending on a
respectable sum of money from this
parish. We believe that all the old
veterans will respond to q call which
will stir in their breasts the memories,
of that tragic struggle. the equal OF
which the world has never seen. We
believe that the Confederate Camp
here will contribute something. as will
also the Daughters of the Confederacv.
Any one wishing to contribute to
this fund will forward their cOntri-
buttons to Mr. Jas. S. Millikin. who
will gladly send it on to Springfield.
We hope the gentleman will succeed
in his laudable efforts; and that when
the monument rises in glory above the
sacred dust of our heroes. the people Of
East Carroll can have the satisfaction
of knowing that they helped, by their
mite, to erect it.
Mr.. Millikin was member of the
celebrated command of Colonel Guam
trelle, which did heroic service in the
cause of the South. He was gall
liant soldier, and we feel assured that
an appeal from him to the patriotism
of our people will result in a liberal
donation being sent forward. Citizens,
give to good cause-to monument
to the Confederate dead of the Lost
Cause"
