Refinery fer Hepa Mill,

Hope Mi!l plantation on the bayou
about 10 miles below Abbeville is to
have a sugar refinery. Solomon Wise
has purchased a splendid second
hand mill and will have it put in at
once. The mill will have a capacity
Of grinding about $50 of cane ger
day. Hope mill is ? fine sugar estate
and Messrs T.. Sokoloski and Isaac
Wise own two plantations adjourning
Hope mill which will furnish nearly a
sufficient quantity Of cane to supply

This Year 5 Rice Crop.

The farmers all over the parish
have commenced with their blowing
previous to the planting Of this years
crop which by the way, promises to
be the largest eyer raised in the South
west Louisiana. During the past
winter, great numbers Of farmers from
all sections Of the north have visited
this country for the purpose OF in
vestigating the rice industry, and
nine out Of every ten Of them have
either invested extensively OF located.
Another surety that the coming crop
will surpass that of any previous year
is the fact that the men who are in
terested in the production ofthe grain
are investing extensively in the cree
ton of a number of new mills, all of
which are to be equipped and running
in time to accommodate the coming
crop. Still another evidence which
points in that direstion can be attri-
butea to the fact that almost all the
other mills intend ~enlarging their
warehouse capacities. At this time
ii is hard to estimate just how much
the increase in acreage will amount
to, but one thing is certain, and that
is it will amount to, but one thing
is certain, and that is it will be some
thing astonishing.

Tail End Of a Hurricane.

Tuesday the wind blew q gale
nearly all day, sending the dust fly
ing in great clouds. During the
night the wind increased in severity
until about midnight when assured
the proportions of a tempest, shifting
to the West followed BY heavy rain
and hail. This was evidently the
tail end # the storm, reported by
the Weather Bureau and predicted by
De Voc. In the parish very little
damage was done outside of bIowins
down a few trees and fences, but il
was SO squally for q time tnat many
people did not sleep that night tll
storm had passed.
