There will be less moving from one
plantation TO another by the colored
people this year than in previous years
This is the way TO end out whether
labor is satisfied or not. When they
are dissatisfied they leave the parish or
move to some other place; but so far
we have not heard OF any diseatisfac-
ton on The part of the colored people
for the reason that all of them have
done well and made money. OF
course there are some who never were
known to make living and come out
in debt every year, but it is their own
fault-tbey are lazy aId indolent-but
take the majority of them, and there
is not year that they do not make
money. Take our parish all in all, and
there is not another parish in the State,
where the colored people are treated
better and whore they are given the
advantages to make living aud &C.
cumulste property than they are right
here. Let them be frugal and learn TO
be honest in all transactions, and they
will be respected by the white people,
and receive help whenever needed.

CHANGE OF SCHEDULE ON THE
Y. ANDM. ". RAILROAD.

The Valley schedule has been
changed, and twill be quite an i'm
-prorement on the present time card.
The most important changes will be in
the day train from New Orleans which
Will arrive at $50 ?. m. instead of 7.05
as formerly. 1t will connect with the
Leland-Greenville tram, which will
then leave at 500 p. M. instead of 400
p. m. No. 6, the fast night train. will
leave New Orleans at 400 p. m. in
stead of APO. arriving here at 1925 p.
m. and leave for Memphis at 1l:30 p.
m. arriving at Memphis at 6:45 a. N.
Train No. 5 will leave Memphis at GAO
p. m. and arrive here at 2:15 a, m. and
leave for New Orleans at 2:25 a. M,
arriving at New Orleans at $40 a. m.
the same time as formerly. It's learned
that the day train service between
Vicksburg and New Orleans will be
very much improved and very posi-
bly, chair car will be added to the
train similar to the day train north OF
here. The arrival of the day train
from New Orleans at 4:50 in the after
noon will be a great Improvement on
the old service and the connecting
with the Leland GreenvIlle train will
greatly facilitate travel going to the
Delta. The Greenville train leaving at
5. m. gives the shoppers forty minutes
longer in the city which will add to
their convenience and comfort. The
south bound day train for New Or
leans will continue to leave at ESQ a.

Mr.. Louie Witkowski, living with
his brother, Simon Witkowski, at Ash
ton, in the upper part of the parish,
died suddenly Saturday evening. He
was well aud sitting in chair convers.
ing with some one, when the messen-
ger of death came suddenly aud with
out warning. 1t is supposed that he
died from heart disease, or heart fall
ure, as it is now called. Mr.. Witkows-
XII was resident of old Carroll, resid-
ing at Caledonia, for many years, but
left some years ago, and had only re-
turned short time ago, going into
the mercantile business on bis broth
er's place. At one time he was worth
considerable, but reverses came and
he loss his all. He leaves wife, who
resides in Greenville and two or three
grown sons.

Mr.. Geo. Owen has no doubt made
the banner cotton crop OF the parish,
and if there is any planter that can beat
him we would like to hear from him.
His Pitchers Point place has several
hundred acres under cultivation, and
on the whole place be has gathered
over a bale to the acre. besides gather
ing as high as fifty bushels of corn off
of several acres of bis land. Now this
is no small crop, and it shows up well
for his hustling manager. Mr.. Rulings.
MIR. Owen has managed the Buck
meadow place for the past six years for
Mr.. Lane, and has always made money.
He will take charge of his own place
next year, after refusing many strong
offers from MIR. Lane TO continue on
Buckmeadow. We wish Mr.. Owen
much success and another crop next
year to compare with this years crop.

Memphis is considered one of the
best cotton markets in the south.
Messrs. Martin, Phillips & Co, sold
long staple grown in the neighbour
hood of Lake Providence for 15c which
is hard TO beat. They always stand
ready to advance within $500 per bale
of the value of cotton and will give
their patrons the advantage of the best
expert classification. The enterprising
grocer, Mr.. Geo. Ashbridge, is their
local representative, and be will make
cash advances on any shipment. Give
him a call.

There is a great deal of just COM
plant made about the condition ofthe
road from Mr.. Walkers residence out
as far as the old Morgan house. 1t is
in a terrible condition and is the worst
road in the parish to-day. 1t is horri-
BILE to allow the road TO get in such
fix. People are afraid to pass over IL.
aud at night it is dangerous. WIN
very little money the road near the
lake could be made good for travel In
such weather as we are now having.
The street and bridge committee
should do something in regard to it.
The condition that II is now in does
not speak well for the town. II seems
to be no ones business and no one
cares. This road should be attended

town without fear of breaking their
neck or wagon or buggy.
