The dirty blackguard OF the Peoples
Demands is 80 depraved as to utter
this week by direct implication and
insinuation a sweeping Islander
against the women of Colfax, which is
too abominable even for repetition in
these columns. There is not one white
woman within the limits OF this town
(nor do we believe there Is one in the
parish) to whom this infamous insln-
uation can beapplied. No one knows
this better than the knave who de-
liberately penned the cowardly lying
implication that there are several. Ii
there be one let her be named, or let
the malignant ass rest under the obi
um of the Islander of which heis guilty,
either in sheer Ignorance or out OF
pure depravity. The ill-concealed ami
mus OF the utterance, and the lying
pretense that it eInbodies, stamps
the outrageous traducer as entirely
devoid of common decency.

There is talk of a brass band being
organized i'm COlfax. and we under
stand that several persons are taking
an interest in the proposition. We
see no reason why we can't have a
good brass band here, as several
towns in the State not any larger
than Colfax have one, and we would
be glad to see the matter taken up In
our town. There is plenty of materi-
al here to work with and with the
proper encouragement interest can be
aroused in the project.
