Big Tim Sullivan, the Bowery con-
gresham, has just distributed 5000
pairs of shoes and socks among
the people of his district. Big
Tim feeds everybody on Christmas
and in the summer there is an ex-
cursion, when all the women and
children go along. Big Tim may not
be long on craftsmanship but we
doubt if there is another nationa!
lawmaker who does his constituents
Jas much real good.

THE CARNIVAL.

The carnival has come and gone,
and if anybody or the community is
any the worse off because of its visit
We do not know it. We recognize
the fact that there are good citizens
whose views and opinions are en-
titled to respect and consideration
in all matters who are much opposed
to street fairs; but they are usually
men who have means with which to
travel and have seen these things
elsewhere. They, of course, do not
interest them, and are somewhat of
a nuisance On the other hand there
are thousands of people in the rural
districts who have never seen the
things shown at carnivals like the
one last week, and never will unless
they are brought to them. Some OF
the exhibitions are educational to a
certain extent, and occasions of these
kinds tend to make people more
broad-minded.
The people throughout this sec
ton spend their earnings-thei
money-year after year supportin!

sionally have some amusement AM

To get their few dollars and dime

life and living. "All work and n
play makes Jack dull boy"

Louisiana as a Corn Producer.

The crop of corn produced in the state Of Louisi-
ana last year was estimated at 20 millions Of bu-
shells. This looked like a comparatively large es-
innate, although not very great, as compared with
the corn producing states Of the West, where even
Minnesota claims to be able now to produce rs
millions of bushels of corn per year, and that IN a
state where freezing weather frequently comes in
September and the corn crop must be planted late
and harvested early.
Here in Louisiana, with the high prices prevail
ing for corn in the West, increased attention has
been given to the corn crop for several years and
with the advent of the boil weevil in the cotton
sections of the state, an immense impetus has
been given to the production Of corn and our State
Board of Agriculture now estimates that the crop
of corn for the present year will be double that of
last year and reach 40 millions Of bushels. The
doubling of the crop will necessitate active efforts
to secure the proper housing for This corn crop as
it does not do as we'll left in the fields here as it
does in the North, where the corn is frequently
left in the field until needed and shucked when
the snow is on the ground and then hauled directly
to market. The sudden increase in this great crop
III tllC ouuuSH lIldhlliS VI ~ u HIoI ACC0OAC N1oP
will develop so many new conditions that we are
afraid the incidental trouble and friction may re-
suit in our farmers and planters getting less for
their corr than its true value. Some ten or twelve
years ago there was quite a large corn crop pro-
duced in the parish of Lafayette. The farmers
there found they had an ample crop supply for
their own use and a surplus for market and in sell
ling it in the town of Lafayette they could only
get Is cents a bushel for it. This story was told
US there at one of the meetings of the Louisiana
State Agricultural Society and it is the common
experience where efforts are not made to provide
for proper distribution of any crop.
It is gratifying to know that attention is already
being given to this matter and it is said that the
Board of Trade of New Orleans will take up the
matter formally and endeavor to arrange s~atisfac-
tory methods for the distribution of this coming
crop, which, on the present basis Of values, would
have a total value of over 80 millions of dollars
and the one half that perhaps may be offered for
sale would represent a value Of about Is millions
of dollars.

In Memoriam

Mrs. N. b. Cannon entered into rest
August lG, 1909, aged 50 years. The
sad tidings of our dear mothers depar-
ture was received by the many friends
and dear ones, who have waited and
watched with tender sorrow and ear
nest prayer for her recovery, with pro-
found sorrow.
We Only know that she has gone and
that her life was passed in faith and
the end came with the peace that pas
seth understanding.
Atfable and kind she was beloved BY
all who knew her. Her many deeds Of
love and Kindness and the general cs-
teen in which she was held by all who
knew her, speak in clearer language
than tongue could impart and the mes
sage Of death was but the summons to
enter the mansion in the heavens to
enjoy perfect rest and joy forever.
God grant that the Knowledge that
she is in heaven may be a chain that
will bind the minds and hearts Of the
bereaved family to the faith Of spirit
ual existence in that city, not made by
hands, eternal in the heavens.
After an illness Of some duration she
realized that the end was near and with
calmness and fortitude she crossed the
dark valley with full faith IN the future
happiness.
Words cannot comfort the afflicted.
Only time and faith in a Saviour pity
ing love can heal the wounded hearts.
1t may be a comfort to know that as
birth is the entrance into this life Of
mortals 50 is death the entrance into
the spiritual life.
There is no death!
What seems so is transition.
This life Of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of th"life eIysian.
Whose portals We call death, N. {.

drawal Of the permit, the secretary announced
that no such withdrawal had been ordered and as
our congressman represents not only us but the
city of New Orleans as far up as julia Street, we
are in somewhat of a quandary as to what to do to
maintain the purity of our water supply under
these adverse and, we believe, illegal conditions
that now prevail. We think the people of Our
parish should take some concerted action in regard
to the matter and protest against this invasion of
their natural rights by the city of New Orleans.

a number Of gentlemen who have
been identified with the project,
including Superintendent Dunn
of the Illinois Central; Col. James
W. Porch, president pro TEN Of

Holiday: Mr.. Leigh Carroll, Of
the Algiers Railway and Light
Co.; Messrs. Black and Laird,
contractors for railroad building,
and several other gentlemen, left
Gretna some days ago on the
steamer Hale for a tour Of in
vestigation over the proposed
route from Gretna to Grand
Island.
It has been the dream of steam
boat men and railroad men for
half a century to make Grand Is
land more accessible than it has
been. Its distance from New
Orleans is not great, but being
over a mixed land and water
route no conveniences for rapid
transit have ever yet been had.
The reputation Of Grand Island
as a watering place has been very
great ever since New Orleans
has been a city. At the time Of
the great storm in 1856, when
the hotel at Last Island, lying
beyond Grand Island, was de-
stroyed, that hotel was full of
city visitors. Since then Grand
Island has been the popular point.
the surf bathing there found be-
ing the finest anywhere along
the Gulf Coast, excepting at
Galveston, and it is far safer
than at Galveston.
Wireless communication with
New Orleans has just been in
stalled at Grand Island and when
the new electric suburban rail
road shall be in operation Grand
Island will become the grandest
watering place in the South.

Corn To Be King.

Thirty-two years ago Samuel J. Tilden went
to Europe for a rest after his harassing contest for
the presidency, in which the famous, or Infamous,
electoral commission decided that he had not been
elected. When he returned he delivered an ad-
dress to a large party that had assembled in front
of his house in Gramercy Square, New York, to
receive him. It is said that at that time he en-
.tirely ignored the political situation, making no
reference to it, but dwelt upon the increasing i'm
portance Of our trade with Europe and cited corn
in particular as the great staple that was going to
work a revolution in the markets of the world.
At that date, thrty-two years ago in September,
he declared that within a reasonable time this
country could probably produce 300 millions Of
bushels Of corn, worth at least 1900 millions Of
dollars.
From every estimate that can be made by the
u. S. Department of Agriculture and from every
report that comes to US from throughout the en-
tire country, it becomes evident that Samuel J.
.Tilden's prophetic 800 millions of bushels of corn
will be produced in the United States this season
and that his estimated value of 1900 millions of
dollars for the same will be considerably exceeded
this season, probably reaching two thousand mil
lions Of dollars in value.
Those familiar with the financial panics of this
country during the last fifty or more years will re-
call how many years it took to recover from the
panics of 1857, 1873 and 1893. The panic of 1907
promised similar requirements in the way of en-
forced economies and diminished OUTLAWS in pri-
vate and public buildings and especially in railway
construction and city improvements, all of which
requirements have been in force during the last
two years. But within the limits of two years
from the outbreak Of the panic of 1907 we now
find ourselves on the eve of entire recovery, or en-
tirely recovered and that, because of the enormous
development of American agriculture and the Won
.derful success that has come to it during these
recent years, and especially during 1908 and 1909.
Hon. James Wilson, our eminent, industrious, per-
%sistent, ~insistent and optimistic Secretary of Agri-
culture, has been a very prominent factor in all
of this. When the panic comes, its relief lies in
the fertility and productivity of our lands and
these have been ayailed of to a marvellous extent
during the last two years and have been made
successful Of course by the energy and intelligence
of our entire agricultural community, to all of
which Mr.. Wilson has lent his aid, and that has
counted for much.
