The Garbuncles of Society.

In all small towns there is a class
that are supparted at a greater or less
degree by those who work. Some
from unfortunate causes are rendered
helpless. When they are not of their
own making, all good men and women
extend to them a helping hand; but
that class that brings trouble upon
themselves, who r ~neglectful of
their duty as citizens, who impose
upon those who pay the taxes need
to reached by the law in some way.
Take for instance those people who
keep q lot of worthless dogs to roam
the streets and put the town to an
expense in Kidding the community of
the pests. Here is something that
the taxpayer is burdened with. How
much do the owners of these WORTH
less cur pay into the town treasury?
Mighty little.
The horse question is being better
handled. We have rid ourselves of
many of the worthless ponies, yet
there r enough left TO talk about.
One man back of town has three that
have SO far escaped the pound boy,
and the lo5 is only worth what their
hides would bring. And there are
more like this man.
Now the cow is in evidence, not
on the tax roll however; no twenty
four dollar valuation for one birdie
COW appears, YET that COW is permit
ed to litter on the banquet before the
three thousand dollar residence and
harrow up the feelings of the owner.

Fine Crops in The Cove.

Nowhere in the parish are fine
crops to he seen than thosein Hebert

and while too much rain is oom-
planned Of there has not been enough
tc materially injnre the crop. OF
those we saw the other day VIZ were
particularly impressed by the looks of
the crop of J. B. Becker, it is one
OF the best worked crops we have seep
this season. The cane laid by looks
healthy and vigorous, while the cot
ton, oorn and potatoes all show care
ful and thorough culture, the head
lands are not all choked up with
weeds and grass but are moved down
or plowed anG narrowed to keep them
clean. That su bstantial old colored
patriarch, Lofty Briggs has a fine
on his place and things in
general wear an air Of patient and
prospecting industry. The lands Of
vermilion are the finest in the
world and the finness in the corn
show what they can produce.
