Tie State Re.IInian.

Arrang have about been COM
u1eted for the annual re-union OF the
Louisiana divisions of the Confeder-
ate Veterans and Sons Of Veterans,
which will be held in Baton Rouge
Wednesday and Thursday, Sept.
and s, and the indications are that the
attend ance will eclipse the records OF
all previous years. Chairman e. j..
Barrow, of the executive committee,
ably assisted by the good people Of
the capital city, has arranged for the
care and entertainment OF the gallant
old veterans in q manner that Will
prove to them that the memory OF their
glorious deeds in the war between tue
states is still fresh in the hearts OF the
people of Louisiana. Baton Rouge
has reputation for hospitality that
is known throughout the length ana
breadth of the state, and it goes with
onb saying that all who may be her
guests next Wednesday and Thursday
are assured Of a warm welcome and a
general good time. Reduced rates
have been offered on all railroads,
and it is hoped that the people will
turn out en- masse to greet the old
veterans, whose ranks are rapidly
thinning and whose valiant record
will soon be left as a heritage to their
sons and daughters and the land OF
their birth.

4 Long-Falt Want.

s Il is reported that some of the lead
ing republicans Of Louisiana are
seriously considering the oft-n1ooted
and too long neglected proposition to
establish a daily paper in New Or
leans that will advocate republican
principles and discuss local and gem
eral questions from some other than
the stereotyped democratic standpoint
occupied by all the dailies OF that city.
One OF the best known republicans
in the state, writing on this subject to
the editor OF The Chief, says: u
wish had the money to give you a
good, strong daily in New Orleans,
and ! venture the opinion that our
party will never amouat to anything
Sfll we have one, with a fearless,
honest eGitor like yourself at the head
of it.
We can't agree with our too partial
friend as to his choice Of an editor,
and there is no mock-modesty in the
dissent, because it is our candid be-
lief th at the first essential of success
id such an enterprise is to place il in
the hands of trained metropolitan
newspaper writer's and managers; but
we dc shave the conviction that the
republican cause in Louisiana is
sadly Handicapped by the lack of a
daily newspaper, and that the party
will in the very nature OF things make
but small progress until this deficiency
is supplied. g Who hears but one bell
knows but one sound, " and it would be
beneficial to the people of this section in
the highest degree if the monotonous
dingaong Of democratic sophistry and
prejudice that's dinned into theirears in
and out Of season by q thick. andsthin
partisan press could be varied and re-
lieved by the silver tones Of republican
reason and truth. Those who hear and
read only one side of neutrality-suspicious.
naturally become narrow and bigoted,
and are incapable OF passing intel
ligenb Judgment upon the issues of the
day. It is therefore to the interest Of
the commonwealth, speetive Of par
tisan differences and alignments, that
republican as we'll as democratic news
papers should be published and read
in Louisiana.
It is understood that the movement
for the establishment Oh a republican
daily in New Orleans will be pressed
forward soon after the approaching
election, when the anticipated triumph
OF tbs republican ticket will help to
make the ground more fa1low for such
an enterprise, and it is to be hoped
success will crown the venture.

. cfepc Comment.

no means promise continuation OF
the sunshine with which this section
has been visited for the past few
weeks, and the state Of the weather is
beginning TO prove OF serious concern
to the cotton and rice planters. We'd
nesday was cloudy and shoWerS, and
heavy rains fell at intervals Thursday
and yesterday. A rainy spell ;ast
now would not only put a complete
stop to work in the rice fields, but
would also infict great damage on the
cotton crop, which is rapidly ap-
proaching maturity. The cotton farm
ers have already suffered a serious
loss on account of the shedding caused
by the recent continuous rains, and it
is to be sincerely hoped that they will
he favored with good weather at this
most important stage OF the crop
season.
Local Observer W. D. Park has
issued his summary OF weather con-
ditions for the month Of Augusts aad
the report makes interesting reading.
The maximum temperature for the
month was 81 degrees, registered on
the 10Th, ana the minimum 81, recorded
on the 10th. The total rainfall was
5.78 inches, and the greatest precipita-
ton in twenty-four hours was IL
inches. which occurred on the 9th.
There we're sixteen clear days, ten
partly cloudy and five wholly so.
The number of days on which rain fell
was twelve, and the prevailing direc-
tin Of the wind was southerly.
Cotton picking was commenced III
a number of localities and will be
general within q week or so. Esti-
mates as to the amount of damage the
crop has suffered on account of she'd
ding and other causes range from
twenty-five to thirty three per cent,
with the consensus Of opinion indica-
ting a middle figure between these two.
a scarcity Of labor is reported and
the harvesting Of the feecy staple will
be prosecuted under difficulties. Cur
rent prices are proving satisfactory
to many Of the farmers, but number
Of them state that they intend TO hold
their output for higher quotations.
The harvesting of the rice crop goes
merrily On and the yield is reported
as being up to expectations. Every
thing is cunning smoothly at the Don
aldsonville rice mill, and prospects
are fattering for a most successful
season at the big establishment.
High temper atures and occasional
showers are proving ideal for the
growth OF sugar cane, and that crop
is developing at rapid rate. The
stand is excellent, both in plant and
stubble, and the size attained by the
cane up to this time leaves nothing tu
be desired.
Corn and pea vine hay are being
harvested, with a fair yield Of the
former and indications of o short CROP
of the latter.
"A new Marshall shredder OF the
latest pattern has been installed at the
large Belle Alliance refinery Of B. s
]. Kock. This firm has a big crop Of
its own and will purchase a quantity
Of cane from neighboring planters.
The cotton gin on Belle Alliance
handled its first bale Of the current
season Thursday.
Z. W. Armitage's gin at DarroN
opened the seasons campaign Wed.
nesday and has ginned tWenty-eight
bales up to date.

A Roast.

l. The Chicago Lady Entertainer:
Trap the drayman at Meade as a
rough one. They told one of the
local committeeman that the dray.
men there charged them So for haul
ing their trunks to and from the
hotel. 'sThat town must be what
you call holdup," was their re-
mark.-Liberal News.
We desire to inform the Chicago
Lady Entertainers that Meade is no
''hold up" town, but we all expect
good pay for our services. Mr..
Rosenberg, the drayman, informs
us that he hauled four large trunks
weighing about 400 pounds each
from the depot, which is nearly a
mile from the city, and that he
''toted" them up to the second floor
of:the hotel and back again to the
depot, and that he charged the show
people S.. This included their own
Transportation which would amount
to So both ways. This left s. for
hauling the trunks and carrying them
upstairs. We think the charge was
reasonable. These people come
here and get their price for their
shows and let them take. their
medicine. In this connection we
desire to say that this Lyceum
bureau, or who ever is in charge has
not treated this paper with common
newspaper courtesy. We have
printed notices and have never re-
ceived a cent remuneration, not
even a complimentary ticket. We
desire to say that hereafter any
notices form these people will be
charged for at usual rates. We are
running this paper for the money we
can make and not to help these peo-
pie carry off $500 or $500 from the
city without us getting one cent.

the republican convention.
We are still looking and waiting
patiently for that wedding to come
off but it seems to be little slow.
The squire is a frequent visitor
up the creek lately. We just won
der now what the attraction can be.
We noticed in the last weeks
News that our items did not appear.
They were probably crowded out or
got there too late.
Henry Gruempkln went down to
Oklahoma last week to look after
his claim. Henry has a very fine
claim and it is well watered.
Mr.. Herman Boiling is at work
on his house now with the assist
ance of John'Cordes. 1t is 16x32
and changes the looks of the flats
very much.
We understand that Will Boiling

wrist handling lumber last Saturday.
He went to Meade and the doctor
reports it very bad sprain.
There was a valentine dinner at
the home of Dennis Barragree there
being quite a large crowd present
and all report splendid time and
plenty of cakes, pies and everything
nice to eat.
Rev. Eschbach reports that he
has some little chicks already. We
think the Reverend is little ahead
of the time, but on account of the
fine weather he may probably have
got mixed in his dates.
H. H. Cordes had both his wrists
sprained. He had fed his stock
and when he got home he went to
jump out of the wagon and got his
foot caught in the lines and fell on
his hands and sprained both wrists.
He is getting along nicely at present.
