A Worthy Work That Needs Doing

The quarters are part OF our little
city, so in planning for the betterment
Of our town, we must not forget that
there are some things we can do and
say that will help.
First we can help the colorel people
t0 oct a board walk from the main
part Of town to the quarters, 80 that
they can come in without having to
wade through half mile of mud and
water, Then we can come nearer de-
pending on them for regular work.
We see the houses in the quarters
close together with no dividing fence,
and still we censure the people for
not being peaceable among each other,
and for not growing gardens. To
overcome this, lets talk to the owners
of the property and try to secure
dividing fences, then after the fences
are built, agitate the growing OF
vines, shrubbs and vegetables by the
colored people, as many Of them are
eager and anxious to do something in
that line, if they only had the oppor.
tunity, then they will have less time
for idle gossip.
Next the water, it is q fact that there
is an insufficient supply, and that the
water is not the best, so the health is
endangered. Let US talk together and
try to find Gil answer to these problems
of our neighbOrs. Press. Com.

TTenty.fOur Hours Rain Stop All
Field Work.

An almost continuous downfall Of
rain from Tuesday afternoon until
Wednesday afternoon, this week has
put an end TO all field work for sever.
al days at least. The rains Of last
week had left The ground in excellent
condition for working, and the farm
ers were improving their opportunities
with all possible haste, only to be
stopped by Tuesday and Wednesdays
rains. While it will delay work ia
in the fields for several days, these
rains were quiet welcome by many Of
the planters whose rice was ready to
be flooded, as in many instances they
were enabled to catch IL full food,
which means o material saying in
flooding expences.

Good Rain Latter Part CT Last Week
Did Much Good

A good rain fell in this locality the
latter part of last week, doing much
good to the rice that was il the
ground, refreshing pastures and
furnishing o greatly need ID supply 81
stock water. The rain came in sever
al showers that pretty thoroughly
soaked the ground to depth Of seF-
eral inches, and in portions OF the
country, stopped work in the fields for
q day or two, although on land that
was we'll drained, but Slight delay was
causes. 1t will take good deal more
rain than has fallen here, ut any one
time, within the past six months, to
thoroughly soak the ground and put
it in the condition that it is usually
in at this season Of the year.
The scant rainfall so far, has been
beneficial in that it has permitted the
planters to well prepare their ground
and to get most Of theil rice planted
in excellent shape. A continuance of
the comparatively small amount of
rainfall, for the next two Or three
months, will undoubtedly make it very
difficult for bayou plauts to furnish
sufficient water for irrigation purpos-
es, as the bayous are lower than they
have been, at this season, for q num-
Der of years.

The progressive Republican Of Cong
Y4ss. are demonstrating to the coun.
try that they are neither dead nor
sleeping, Already members of that
coteria have introduce resolutions III
the Senate for the admission of Ari-
iona and New Mexico, as states, for
4 ADMINISTRATION Of the L0rimer cleo
ton frauds, and for the election OF
United States Senators by direct vote
of tie people. Senator Cummins, one
OF the recognized leaders Of the pro-
gressives will also lead strenuous
fight against the Cansdian ReceprOs-
ity bill in the Senate. Furthermore
they are giving the country at large,
as we'll rs the stand-pat republicans,
of the Man and Cannon stripe to un-
derstand that they stand for progress
sive legislation, and that they will in
no case participate in opposition to
measures simply because they are
democratic, 1t is becoming evident
that if the republicans desire peace
and harmony among their party rep.
resentatives in Congress it can only
be had by the stand-patters aligning
themselves with the progressives upon
measures that the country is demand
ing. In other words the Progressive
Republicans are aligning themselves
upon the side OF progressive legisla-
tiOn whether their votes are counted
with the republicans or the democrats.

The Good Government League
scored decided victory. and one
that should be heartily applauded by
the people of the entire state, when
they secured the conviction and I'M
prisonment of twelve of the Ballot
Box suffers of New Orleans. These
men had practiced election frauds so
long that it seemed to have become q
habit with them, and they were found
guilty of padding the returns in the
recent election of Justice when their
candidate was the only one running,
and there was not the slightest demand
for such frauds. The Good Govern
ment League got behind them so strong
on more serious charges, that
twelve of them pleaded guilty to
slight Irregularities in keeping their
records, and we're sentenced to eight
months confinement in the New Or
leans city prisons. 1t is greatly to be
hoped that this severe punishment
viii be sufficient to deter others from
n similar tiehtring with tie elections

1t Is reported that the farmers IN
New York are losing practically
their entire corn crop on account OF
the depredations of wild geese which
alight in their fields by thousands
and forage on the growing crops.
The geese are protected by law so
that the farmers dare not kill them.
This is about the same sort OF econo'
my that the protection OF buzzard
is in this state, where they are the dl-
rect cause of the loss of many thous'
and dollars worth Of live stock annu-
ally. Yet if a stockman see q buzEard
