LONG LIVE LOUISIANA.

1t may bring some cheer to the
farmers in this section who have
been buying mules this season at from
three to four hundred dollars per
pair to know that in other sections
of this United States they are bring
ing as high as $500 per pair. A De-
catur news item telling of a public
sale held recently at Lake City, Hi
nois calls attention to the sale of two
tams of mules at $500 a team. This
is exactly $14O0 for what it takes to
pull twelve inch gang plow around
the field. Other live stock brought
corresponding prices at this sale. A
number of short horns brought prices
ranging up to 1896, and grade cows
500 to $125. Brood sows sold as high
as $3.50. 1t is some satisfaction to
know that this country is not alone
when it comes to high prices.
In this connection Mr.. G. M. Ham
mil has just received a letter from
Nr B. F. Cloud Of Decatur in which
the writer says that the thermometer
there is lowering around Is degrees
| below zero, and the wind would blow
through a grind stone without being
retarded in the least.
Long live Louisiana, and let u;
continue to reside here. The old ad
age that distance lends enchantment'
is bum phrase. This is the bes
country in the world, looking from
every angle, with naked eye or through
specks.
