A reward of $2500 is offered for

the capture of Prince Edwards, or

Ford, who killed John Gray Foster

n ear Shreveport abou t tw o weeks

ago.

The State of t4eo r gia i s reported

to have the worst cott on, co rn,

melon, peach and app le c rop that it

has had in the past thirty years.

Too much iain is the cause of it.

T he new s w as sen t out fr om Col.

umbus, Ohio, on Monday that Ilan-

na had actually captured the Repub-lican machine, as if it was a big sur-prise. Hanna is boss, even over

McKinley, and nothing moves with-

out first consulting him. Perhapsit took a little cash t o g et contr ol o f

the Ohio Republican convent ion,bat HIanna has no scruples in thatdirection.

The tenth anniversay of the con-secration of Rt. Rev. lavis Ses-sums, as Episcopal Bishop, was ob-

served in New Orleans on Monday

at Christ Church Cathedral. TheBishop received many l ovin g t rib-ites by the clergy and laity.

Handsome vestments and an Epis.

copal ring were preenated to him,

lie is a great man, and. devotedlyloved by his people.

Last Saturday oeat Florence, asmall station on the Gulf and Ship

Island railroad and about fifteenmiles south of Jackson, * 'pitchedbattle took place on an excnrsiontrain between whites and blacks, inwhich three of the negroes weredangerously wounded. The fight

started over an attempt of a negroto take the seat of a white woman,and which was resented by thewhites.

The Cotton, Ginner's. Jonrnal ofWaco, Texas, says that ",we havenever known as large an amount ofcotton on hand, at inteirior townsand on farms, much of it onsold, as

late a date as this (Juhe 189-'as canbe seen to-day. The amount inTexas would astonish those who aregoing on the theory that the cottonhas nearly all come into sight orbeen counted. There will be solme

surprise at the Winauop;" -

A great many Sdathern papersare tlaikug about I% atp a Sot-

S erm emsai for Presideni -Iaeeak a

poet. 'it, ,the' HeailiC pirtynonminate Carter Harrisos, or sonmeother good maw, bury the issues of

the past two campaigns, and the

Democratic party will have a goodchance of winiing.-

Russia will soon be able to supplyher own waits is co•tOn, anu willnot need any from the United States.Oklahotna and the Indian Territoryis far ahead of any other section in lthe increase of cotton acreage. for

the year. 'Texas hat inereased -her/acreage, and with favof•able coduid

Stions as to weathber, labor, etc.,could produce 4,000,000 bales. Allof the above goes to show that -cot-t on is morethan liable to bring a

low price the coming season.

The different railroads enteringNew Orleans want to erect a Union

Depot, bu t it deems tliit ~he citycouncil is against such a publebenefit lo 'theb city, to thq tratelingpublie and to tIse railroad.. ItJa agreat draw back tq Sew Orleans notto have a Union Depot, which- nodoubt keeps a large amount

- of

travel away froi that city. NewOrleans o6tght to be lrogreaiveenough to see its needs, and es-pecially in having a Union Depot,which the railroade have been try-

ing to secure for several years.

The State of Arkanase is fast

forging to the fr•ont in many ways.The Cotton Planters Journal says.hat 281 umiles of railroad has beenbuild in that state w ith in t he pastStwo years, naking ii rank third in

EAST CARROLL'S yEW COURT HOUSE.

.I i.jri- - 1 1.. .- 7

Above we give a p ictu re of th e' new court house for this pa r ish , n ow inprocess of construction, the corner stone of which is to be laid on Tues-day next with appropriate ceremonies under the an,>pice, of the Masonicfraternity. On this day it is expected that a largf- portion of the resi.dents of the parish will be present to participate in the ceremonies andthe festivities which have been provided for by the various committeesapl,,oi'ted for the purlose.

Wihile this picture shows the outer appearance of the building only,an examination of the plans snows a convenient and comfortable arrange-ment of all the departments necessary for carrying on the business of theparislth.

The ground floor plan is 54x64 ft. On the front of the building,facing east, is a plorch 9x2F ft. which leads into the main entrance, orhall, 9x64 ft. On the south side of the hall is the clerk's office and re-cord room, the first 18x29 ft. the second 18x26 ft. The record room tobe fire proof, having thicker interior wall with concrete and cement floorand atchedl iron ceiling. On the noth side of the hall is located the sheriff'smain office 18x19 ft. to which is attached a fire proof vault 6xll ft.constructed in manner similar to the record room, and a police jury room18xl1 ft. The main stairway leading to the second floor is in the towerin the north-east corner of the building. This leads into a lobby 13x14 ft.which opens directly into the court room, 35x42 ft. which has four open-ings on the east and five on the south side. On the north and west sidesof the court room are situated, in addition to the lobby, a grand jury room13x i• ft. two petit jury rooms lix I ft. and 14x14 ft. Immediately backof the judge's stand, over the back hall entrance, i, a room 15x15 ft. to beused as a lawyer's room.

The tower, which will contain a bell and clock, is 72 ft. high to top of Iroof and is provilel with stairway to reach the roof. The specificationsprovide for a complete and hanlsoinme finishing of the interior with thebest of all material to be obtained.

Thln it will h! seen that the building, though not much larger than thed one, but di tlein_, greatly in dcsign and convenient arrangement, will

be am p le for the ou'iness of the parish for mnany years.The P olice Jur y is t o be con•u ratulated upon its progressive spirit,

every member of whiih has the sup p or t in gi v ing E ast Carroll such abuilding, long iiee -,Id in place of the old one that has been dangerous andunsafe for many years.
