COTTON CROP
DURING AUGUST.

The Times Democrat of yeSter
day pres n t e d its cor
respondents report on the
progress of the cotton crop dur
ing the month of August. The
consensus of opinion is as fol-
lows:
|. While the accounts from
some sections are good, distinct
deterioration has been the rule.
2. Louisiana seems to have
been the greatest sufferer and
the ravages OF the boil weevil
promise to complete the work
of the elements. The pest has
made itself felt in Arkansas also,
but to nothing like the same ex
tent.
3. The supply of labor for
picking seems to be plentiful
throughout the Belt.
4. Farmers are disposed to
hold. wherever pressing obliga-
tiOns do not force them to sell.
5. The weather during this
month will probably have a de.
cisive influence over the yield.

BAND CONCERT.

The Lafayette Concert Band
gave a delightful concert at the
High School park Sunday from
six to half past seven O'Clock.
The band will give another con
cert at the same time next Sun
day and give the music lovers of
this city another most enjoyable
treat. During the evening
Mr.. F. V. Mouton made brief
talk in which he spoke of music
being a soother and burden litter;
that while we we're enjoying the
pleasure and recreation of a
visit to the park and the band
played, our troubles we're forgot
ten. The music given was a
home product and it was given in
a public spirit. He thanked the
Council on the part of the band
for their liberal appropriation in
aid of the band and also Mr..
o. B. Hopkins for electric lights
on the stand, and Mr.. Krauss of
street committee for having had
the weeds cut and the grounds
put in proper condition for having
the concerts. He paid deserved
