Two delightful moonlight pic-nics
we're given This week-one by the
ladies of the Methodist Church, and
the other by the ladies Of the Episco-
pal Church. The former took place
last Monday night at the residence of
Mrs. T. j. Powell, beneath the large
oak tree that spreads its branches over
one half of the yard. A beautiful
moonlight night added to the pleasure
of the OCCASION, and the ices aud cakes
found a ready sale. The following
night the Episcopalian picnic took
place at the residence of Mrs. Kennedy
Aston, beneath the beautiful trees that
shade the large front yard. A threat
ening rain earlier in the evening had
filed the sky with unwelcome clouds,
but abe partial absence of the moon
light was more than counterbalanced
by a hundred Japanese lanterns, ar.
ranged In the most artistic manner,
which shed over the scene a flood of
light, and made the yard. bower of
loneliness. Prof. Mitchell was present
with his string band, end the young
people enjoyed for while the pleas
ing rounds of the dance.

Mr.. Frank Constant paid the Office q
pleasant call last Wednesday morning.
Frank was Ia his usual laxative
humor, brim full of stock news, aud
very enthusiastic over the bright pros
poets OF the stock industry in Louis

has already become known in stock
circles In North Louisiana, and the
new Commissioner Of Agriculture, j.
G. Lee, has recently appointed him on

raising subjects. Mr.. Constant will
leave on lecture tour the first week
in August; and ne he is better ysrseo
in stock lore than on any other SUBJECT
we presume that. his lectures will BE-
confined mainly to that subject
Frank is hustling young fellow and
will undoubtedly succeed.

ON BOARD THE DELTA.

On her down trip, on Friday, of last
week, Captain Ed Nowland, Jr., gave
a complimentary excursion to Vicks-
burg and return to Miss Mary Beard
and few of her friends. The party
consisted of Mr.. and Mrs. T. S. Delony,
Misses Ethel Egelly, Mabel Golden
burg, Mary and Annie Bell Beard, aud
Messrs. j. L. Kennedy, W.R. Powell,
R. P. and S. B. Kennedy. and Master
Lonny Mckee. There were quite a
number of ladies and gentlemen
aboard from Memphis, Helena and
Greenville, and they made a. jolly
crowd as the boat backed out from the
landing aud proceeded down the river.
At Wilton they we're joined by Messrs.
Frank Constant, the stock king, and
Wallace Keene, the cotton king. A
good band rendered all the ragtime
melodies in the most up-to-date style,
every niger in the band having a
mouth especially adapted for coon
sougs and watermelons. There were
music. mirth, merriment, songs and
dancing all the way down, and the
officers of the Delta did everything in
their power TO make the crowd enjoy
themselves. The first clerk, Mr.. Pos
tel, was especially pleasant aud accom-
modating, and the young ladies nick
named him Mr.. Postal Card, which
he seemed to enjoy as much as they
did. On account of arriving at Vicks-
burg behind schedule time, the crowd
could not go up into the city, but had
TO content themselves with standing
on the guards and gazing on the
beauties of KIiDesiop,
which, by the way, is the jumping of
place. The Delta reached Lake
Providence at IL O'Clock Saturday
morning, and the jolly excnrsionists
had TO say au revOir, but not good
bye, TO Capt. Rowland and his pleas
ant officers, and to the rest of the
party, all Of whom had gotten pretty
well acquainted with each other The
Delta backed out from the landing,
waved in the air, the
band played Annie Rooney, aud the
crowd wendell homeward

about Capt. Nowland aud MIR. Postel

which they entertained their guests on
he excursion.

On Monday we had the pleasure OF
a chat with Mr.. Louie Hornthal, who
had just arrived by team from up in
Arkansas. Mr.. ifornthai was making
spec al trip looking at the cotton
crop to make a report on its~con-
di,ion 10 the Southern Cotton Oil Co.,
of New Orleans. Mr.. Hornthal should
be a tirsi class judge, having raised
cotton extensively, anl we would just
as soon take his opinion as any one
we know Of He bad been out for
the past ten days or more aud bad
made careful inspection of the cot
ton fields, aud he told us that he
doubted very much If there would be
half a crop made. THIS is our opin.
ion after talking to The planters, and
as the same conditions exist IN Texas
Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama
everything points 10 an extreme ehor'
crop, with prices Tor Bender cotiof
