surely accomplish this than by securing the
anama Exposition to be held in 1856
Governor Sanders, Mayor Behrman and
many prominent citizens of New Orleans
ana the State are working to this end. They
nave been the first to memorabilia the Presi-
uen1 ana Congress, and a sentiment favor
aoie TO New Orleans exists in official circles
as well as outside, public preference gener-
ally being favorable to New Orleans. The
celebration will be national, and to some ex-

PROBABLY appropriate the largest sum ever
appropriated for purpose Of this kind, and
new Orleans can not alone afford fund

should be willing to do it's share toward
making the exposition success and paying
It's expenses The products and resources
OF every parish will be exhibited and adver-
Used in a manner that will bring them to
the notice of the whole world.
But we do not believe the financing of
this undertaking by direct taxation would
meet the general approval Of the people nor
be expedient under present conditions.
Every town and section should have pride
enough to be awakened to the highest de-
gree OF energy-a voluntary and impulsive
interest that would accomplish more for
successful demonstration than enforced con-
tribution. It is up to the citizens of New
Orleans and of the State to show the world
that there is business ability enough in the
South to handle large affairs and to take
advantage Of the opportunities soon to be
opened to US. The reputation thus earned
would be of more value to us than the dump
ing into our lap of lump sum to run it
with. Organize; exploit; dispose Of stock;
put the brains and energy into it that
is to herald the new South as the coming
center of business achievement and pros
perity.
There is to be mass meeting at the court
house Tuesday, March 5, for the purpose Of
selecting delegates to the convention to be
held in New Orleans on April 7. We trust
that proper interest will be evidenced by a
large attendance, and that St. Tammany
parish will do her share toward the support
and encouragement the undertaking should

BALLARD OF SPRING.

A flip to the earth she filings,
And roses deck the cot and villa;
Her welcome gay the blue bird sings,
(Spring makes me thing of sarsaparlla.)
The live oak branch is green and gold,
That late was brown tortla;
When skies of gentle blue unfold,
(Spring brings the bee and sarsaparla.)
Dear hue and CRATE the blossoms yield,
Their odor smacks of nice VANILLA
And verdure fresh is now revealed,
(The time of all for sarsaparilla.)
LENvoI
Prince, mark while spring goes dancing by,
With sken skirts and lace mantilla,
If rhyme or love should fall away
Perchance they need some sarsaparilla)
Woods have been smoky lately with fires burning
through the grass in several directions No serious
damage has occurred, but, property holders are al
ways apprehensive when these fires get started, and
do get started, but nobody seems to know how. The
law in this regard needs to be applied.

motto is 'bee quick and you'll bee happy" But
sometimes the bees are quickest, Farmer John.
The crop of fluit blossoms is the largest in many

Some fish were caught and the hours were pleas

dull care away from older hearts that once were
young.

trees gathered from various and include

1t may seem optimism to say much, but the
fruit and garden crops that be produced on the
sandy soil of St. Tammany Parish almost
illimitable.
Around my ample garden patch,
With shining hoe | love to scratch
And plant of seed goodly batch,
In mellow soil where seed can catch;
And tending this with pleasing care
Improves my health and bill of fare;
I've something nice to eat and spare,
Tomatoes round and lettuce rare;
In working thus with nature kind,
So many blessings one may find;

And makes him thankful when he's dined.
