The L. R. & N. Should Make Good.

The following communication
is timely and to the point on a
matter of vital Importance to the
citizens of this town. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Ellerbe
gave a definite promise that the
L. R. & N. Co. would build a
new depot at Colfax, and the
time has arrived for a redemp-
ton of his promise. Our CORE
spondent calls ON the company
to make good" as follows:
Editor Colfax Chronicle:
If my memory serves me right,
the Colfax board of trade made
a demand on the L. R. & N. Co.
for suitable depot for the use
of this town, some twelve months
past, and in reply to this demand
or request, the officials of the
above road agreed to build a de.
pot, provided they were given
until the present month to com.
mence the work.
/ claim that time is up" and
that the road should be making
amove in that direction. / woulc
suggest that the local papers cal
attention of the railroad officials
to necessity of prompt action in
the matter.
Under present conditions M
sane man can ever expect justice
from a railroad, and we are moi
asking for full justice, but only
asmall measure of it. We claim
the right to have a decent anC
suitable depot and think we
ought to be shown some courtesy
in that line. Respectfully,
TN. WELLS.

To Our Subscribers in Arrears.


All subscribers in arrears with
the Chronicle have this week
been mailed a statement show
ing the amount of their dues,
which, with rare exceptions, is
one dollar, or two dollars at most.
One or two dollars to a single in
dividual is not much, but to have
two or three hundred persons
owing one or two dollars is quite
a serious proposition.
The greatest bulk of our sub
scribers are paid in advance, and
we hope our delinquents will not
delay in putting themselves on
this desirable footing. This no
tice is intended as a reminder to
them that their settlement will
be greatly appreciated, and will
relieve us of a considerable worry.
So all will please send in check
or money order to cover their
balance at earliest opportunity.

Entire Crop Planted a Week Ago.

Mr.. ]. H. McNeely informs us
that he finished planting his en-
tire crop of corn, cotton and rice
last week, on March 18th, and
the most of it is up and growing
finely. He has one thousand
acres in cotton, which is about
one-third less cotton than he
formerly planted. He has in
creased his corn to about one
thousand acres, a large portion
of which has been worked over
twice. He has also increased his
rice farm to $50 acres, and it is
planted, sprout!ng and ready to
come up. In addition to these
crops he also has patches of al
falfa, oats, potatoes, etc., all of
which are green and growing
right along.
His crops prove the claim made
for the last fifty years for the
alluvial river lands of Grant par
ish. These lands are the highest,
dryest, best drained, warmest
and most forward lands on Red
river from Shreveport to its
mouth. Old steamboatmen will
tell you the vegetation at this
point is always two or three
weeks ahead of any along the
river, keeping pace with that at
Baton Rouge and Plaquemine.
In addition to this, the most of
our land is entirely above over
flow, and needs no levees to pro-
tectit. The only land that equals
it is the land along Cane river in
Natchitoches parish.

Dogs More Destructive Than Wolves.

Dogs More Destructive Than Wolves.
1t was the custom thirty years
ago for the people of this coun-
try to get together and join in a
general hunt to kill off the wolves
that would sometimes destroy
their calves, pigs, goats and
sheep in great numbers. The
wolves in those days, however,
never destroyed as much stock
as vicious dogs do for our farm
ers in these days. The reason
for this was because in earlier
days Grant parish was full of
game of all kinds-deer, rabbits,
wild turkeys, etc., being plenti-
full, upon which they could prey
and subsist without having to at
tack domestic stock. All of this
is now changed. The wolves are
gone, the game has pretty nearly
all been killed off, and we have
a great many more people in the
country.
A large number of our people
want to raise sheep and goats,
and they could raise them by the
thousand if it were not for the
destructiveness Of the dogs in the
country. Some of our people do
not seem to understand how de-
structive these dogs are, but we
will venture the assertion that
they have killed fully thousand
head of sheep and goats for the
farmers of Grant parish within
the last two years. The stock
thus destroyed are worth fifty
times as much as all the dogs in
the parish.
Lest some of our readers may
think we are talking at random
on this subject, we will mention
a few cases of destructiveness
that have been reported to US.
Mr.. John G. Foster, father of
Cashier Geo. A. Foster, of the
Pollock bank, reports that he has
had eighty head of sheep killed
by dogs in the last few months.
Mr.. Richard Newton, of Fairfield,
has had more than twenty head
of goats killed. Messrs. Tom
Walker, j. w. Orr, R. D. Brown,
and others living in the vicinity
of Dry Prong, have had fully one
hundred lambs and kids killed
by dogs. We could mention 9TH
| ers, but this is sufficient to show
the evil complained about. And
for this reason we think the po-
lice jury were wrong in repeal
ing their ordinance to tax dogs.
1t is their duty under the plain
letter of the law to make police
regulations to protect farmers
who want to raise stock for a
livelihood, and they should en-
force the law as they find it.
