Protection For Our Lands.

The Atchafalaya Levee Board
held meeting in Donaldsonville
Monday. The Police Jury of 81.
Martin delegated MIR. Jas. J. Mar
tin to appear before that board
and represent the interest of this
parish, by demanding protection
for our large area of lands that
had been continually overfowed
since the building of ltvees on the
east side of the Atchafalaya, pro-
tecting the lands of that side and
throwing that large volume of wa
ter on this side, keeping our low
lands under water the year round.
Lands that produced valuable
crops before the building Of the
Atchafalaya levee, are now worth
less and are highly assessed.
We are pleased to say that the
action of the Board was favorable
as will be seen by the following
resolution which was given us by
DIR. j. r. Olivier, Secretary of the
Progressive League
"On motion of Mr. Dugas. BE
it resolved: That the Board of
State Engineers be requested to
make surveys and examination
with the view of protecting the
east bank Of the Teche from over
flow by the Atchafalaya River. and
in the event of feasible and prac-
tical plan being reported that the
President be authorized to adver-
tise and award proper contracts
for this purpose"
The above resolution indicate
that the Board is willing to afford
us the protection we need aud We
have right to demand.
The building of a levee on the
west bank of the Atchafalaya will
protect our low lands from the
yearly overfows and permit the
owners of these lands to cultivate
them and produce good, paying
crops.

Back To His Post.

1t WAS Wth some satisfaction
that the patrons of this branch
road learned Tuesday that Con
ductor Ben L.: Darand had re-
turned TO his post. ap3 had taken
charge Of his train. Conductor
Durand is a Jealous off icial, cour-
teous and accommodating. aud
makes it duty to perform his
work right and to accommodate
Gnd please the patrons of his COM
paEy.
There are loud complaints about
The service of this branch, and the
people have resolved that they
must have better accommodations
even if they have to appeal to the
Railroad Commission, but all ap-
preciate the fact that the bad SER
vice is not to be credited to the
crew Of the train. On the contra
ry, these people do all they can,
but it is physical impossibility
for them to do the work that is
imposed upon them.
A forty four mile branch in a
country like this, with the large
amount of passengers and freight
is much more than mixed train
can do.
The people must have relief.

INJURY TO COTTON.

The fine prospects for n large
cotton crop we had few weeks
ago have taken a serious turn, and
today in many places where the
cotton is young, or late paintings
are seriously injured by what the
planters believe TO be the weevil
and the boil worm. Cotton that
was loaded and promised good
yield has been cut down fully fifty
per cent. The planters report the
insect affecting the smaller hollis
is Just like corn weevil, and this
same insect affects also to a GER
tain extent by making one little
round hole in each boil.
The damage done by the boil
worm is also large, aud in many
sections OF the parish only half a
crop will be made.
The situation is getting to be
serious, agriculture in every line
is menaced by one pest or the
other, aud in the future the plan
ters should consider the. idea of
diversifying their crops.

Diversified Farming.
MESSRS. TEOUARD AND BREARD SHOW
ING WHAT CAN BE DONE.
"MOnrOe'New

Messrs. p. Trouard and j. Nj
Breard will not rely upon cotton
hereafter as the sole crop on their
fine plantation in the Colony. L,
will be the surplus crop, and long
staple at that.
Mr. Trouard, who is one of the
Oldest and best cotton planters in
the parish, was pusuaded by Mr..
Brearl into trying diversification
on small scale this year and the
experiments were SO successful he
has become convert and will 90
in for it on a much larger scale
next year.
This year the experiments were
confined to one acre 10 lady peas,
forty acres in lespedeza, five acres
in popcorn and the planting of
the common or whippoorwill pea
in the large corn. The result was
the gathering of $50 bushels of
whippoorwill peas worth 81 so to
$500 per bushel, 80 bushels of la
dy peas worth from $500 to 80. 80
per bushel, so tons of lespedeza
from one cutting worth $3.50 to
S15 90 per ton, and IS bushels Of
popcorn worth $500 per bushel.
Mr.. Breard disposed of all the
lady peas except enough for plant
ing purposes to a local firm this
morning at good price.
Next year 90 acres will be plan
ted in lady peas, SO acres in whip
porwill peas, so acres in lespend-
eza, 10 acres in popcorn and 2
acres in peanuts.

The Cure For Gossip.

+. . 8 q
What is the cure for gossip? Simply
culture. There is q great deal of gos-
sip that has no mal'gnity about it.
Good natured people talk about their
neighbors because they gave nothing
else to talk about. AS we write their
comes to us the picture Of a family Of
young ladies. We have seen them at
home, we have met them in the gal
leries Of art, we have caught glimpses
Of tenn going from a bookstore or
library, with fresh volume in their
hands. When we meet them they are
full of what they have seen or read.
They are brimmipg with questions.
One topic Of conversation only 70 give
piece to another, in which they are
interested. We have left them after
"a delightful hour, stimulated and
fresh; and during the whole hour not

thing, and want to know more. They

Miss Ingram has returned to her

The dance at Mr.. Crumpler's, at

Quite an excitement was created
last Saturday evening. Mrs. Henry
Dickson was out driving in the bot

and let her baby fall out of the buggy.
Fortunately no damage was done.

could listen as well as talk. To speak
freely of neigabors and belongings
would have seemed an impertinence
to them, and, of course, an impro-
priety. They had no temptation to
gossip, because the doings of their
neighbor formed subject very much
less interesting than those which
grew out of their knowledge and their
culture.
And this tells the whole story. The
confirmed gossip is always either ma
licious or ignorant. The one variety
needs change of heart and the other
change of pasture. Gossip is always
personal confession either of malice
or imbecility, and the young should
not only shun it, but by the most
thorough culture relieve themselves
from all temptation to indulge in it..
1t is low, frivolous, and often dirty
business. There are country neigh
borhoods in which it RACES like pest.
Churches are split in pieces by it..
Neighbors are made enemies by it for
life. In many persons it degenerates
into chronic disease, which is prac-

SubsIdlzing Matrimony.

Thomas Rosernan, a wealthy ranch
man of Mcpherson County, Neb., has
come out with startling proposal to
pay bonus for matrimony and for
babies. He offers to give $10O to any
and every couple marrying and set
Ting down in that county, and $5o
for each aod every child, male or fe-
male, born in that county.
The experiment of this stockraiser
of Nebraska in raising human beings
will be watched with unusual interest.
If it shall prove successful, it would
open up unlimited possibilities for
Mr.. Carnegie to draft Cupid into his
service in an effort to get rid OF his
surplus wealth. Think how many
happy couples at 500 per, and how
many nice babies at $50 apiece, Car
negie or Rockefeller could buy. Carr
negie homes blessed with Carnegie
babies might make the desert places
of America blossom like the rose, and
the sparsely settled West would in
two generations be teeming with mil
lions. Monitor Magazine.

Locking for Slishts.

There are some people always look
ing out for Sights. They cannot pay
visit, they cannot even receive a
friend, they cannot carry on the daily
intercourse Of the family without
suspecting some offense is designed.
They are as touchy as hair triggers.
If they meet an acquaintance on the
street who happens to be preoccupied
with business they attribute his abb
straction to some motive personal to
themselves, and take umbrage accor-
dinghy. They lay on others the fault
of their own irri.ability. A fit of i'm
digestion makes them see imperti-
nence in everybody they come in con-
tact with. Innocent persons who
never dreamed of giving offense. are
by momentary taciturnity, mistrken
for an insult. To say the least, the
habit is unfortunate. 1t is far wiser
to take the moae charitable view of
our fellow beings, and not suppose a
slight is intended unless the neglect
is open and direct. After all, life
takes its hue, in great degree, from
the color of our own mind. If we are
frank and generous, the world treats
us kindly. If, on the contrary, we
are suspicious, men learn to be cold
and cautious tous. Let person get
the reputation of being touchy and
everybody is under more or less res
traint; and in this way the chances
of an imaginary offense are vastly in
creased. People who fire up easily
miss much happiness. Their jaun-
diced tempers destroy their own COM
fort as well as that Of their friends.
They have always some fancied slight
to brood over. Exchange.
