There have been large fields opened
up that were under cultivation before
the war, besides several hundred nice
houses and plantation cabins have been
erected, which is drawing large num-
bers OF laborers from the different
portions of the parish TO settle out
there. Ii looks like il will only be
question OF short time when il will

the war. A few years ago land could

A SAD ACCIDENT.

One of the sadest accidents that has

happened on Saturday evening last
al The residence of Mr.. 4. j. Powell,
when colored boy by the name OF
Canon Hunter was killed aud the seri-
GUS woDuding of Mcfarland Long, sou

by the little son of Mr.. Powell Mr.
| Powell was at the residence of Mr.. Nc
Rae spending the evening, aud made
the remark that be would go home,
which is only next door, aud make a
] fire. Mrs. McRae said that she would
send her house boy to do 1t and for
him TO remain until his room became
warm. The two little boys wanted to
go with the colored boy, which they
did, aud when only in the house few
moments, shot was heard coming
from that direction, aud ppon going
over there, discovered the colored boy
lying on the floor dead and Mcfarland
seriously shot in the chin, part of it be-
ing torn away. AS boys will do. the

medical aid was summoned as speedily
as possible. Doctors Bernard aud

aud dressed it, Mcfarland, who is a |

has been almost crazy since then. Mr..

and is now sick in bed from the worry.
