Weather and Gron Notes.

The following paragr apis are quoted
from this weeks Ascension letter to
the Louisiana Sugar Planter:
"After four days of remarkably
warm weather, extending from Thurs
day to Sunday last, the temperature
dropped quite a number of degrees
Monday morning. bringing welcome
relief to sWelterfng humanity and suf-
fering live stock. A brisk north wind
prevailed all day Monday, and was
again in evidence Tuesday and We'd
nesday, the weather on those days be-
ing cool, pleasant and decidedly
fall-like.
sss.Although scattered showers have
been received, no rain OF any conse-
quence has fallen in this section since
Sunday. August 10, and the lack of it
is beginning to be felt, particularly
on the sugar plantations. Up TO Sun
lay night the weather was exception
ally favorable for the rapid growth of
the cane crop, but the cool snap.
presently prevailing will have the eff
feet of somewhat checking this growth
and rebarding the development of the
cane, though the thold-up' is not ex-
pected to be prolonged nor serious.
A return of more seasonable tempera-
lures, with frequent rains followed by
periods of abundant sunshine, are the
conditions for which our sugar plant
ers are now signing.
aCotton picking is already under
way in some localities Of the cotton
growing section of the parish and will
become general within the next few
days. The crop is reported to be in
extra fine condition, presaging a rec
ord breaking yield of the feecy staple
for Ascension With a prospect IF
good prices for an abnnd ant yield,
cotton producers hereaway are in high
feather and season Of much pros
perity is promised them.

4 Shall We Miss a Good Thine2

Are the merchants and other busi-
ness men of Donaldsonville going to
deliberately ignore a golden oppor-
tunity to promote their own interests
and the prosperity Of the town?
Are we TO stand supinely by while
more enterprislng communities reach
out from distance and grasp from
under our very noses the facilities for
increasing trade and adding to our
incomes which should be ours for the
taking
In words more TO the point, is Dom
aldsonville going to .tpass up" the
chance to get into railway commune
cation with the extensive, popuious
and productive New River section of
the parish?
Besides the direct connection with
the New River country now afforded
Baton Rouge and shortly to be avail
able to New Orleans by the construc-
tion of the Louisiana Railway and
Navigation Company's road. steps
are presently being taken to build
an electric railway from New Orleans
to Baton Rouge that will also inter-
sect the New River region and give its
people quick and ready access to those
cities. e will soon be easier for our
fellow citizens of north Ascension to
go TO Baton Rouge or New Orleans to
do their trading than TO come to their
own parish seat, unless we bestir our
selves and build few miles OF railway
on our own account that will head off
the impending diversion of our legit1-
mate and natural business.
For an investment OF $40, 900 the ex-
tension TO barrow Of the Belle Helene
railway now in course of construction
can be secured. Surely there should
be ten, twenty or thirty men IN this
community who can be prevailed upon
TO advance this amount for the con-
summation Of an enterprise that is
sure to pay good direct
digidends and absolutely certain to
yield rich returns il the way OF profits
TO be derived from increasing the
volume of the towns commerce with |
the surrounding country.
This Is a vital proposition and the
people Of Donaldsonville will be
obliElons TO their own in
Earests if they ignore it.
