7 The Monroe Bulletin. Terms: $2 a Year. Official Journal of the Parish of Ouachita. OFFICE: Corner DeSiard and Grand Sts. MONROE, L.A., MARCH 14,1883.

Mrs. Doner's house, near the depot, is almost finished. It is neat and substantial. 'The tug-boat Hiram Campbell passed down Saturday morning with three barges loaded with staves. T.

J. Humble has been appointed Parish Surveyor of Ouachita, vice L. N. Polk, removed from the parish. Mr.

S. C. Herring has sold his stock of groceries, to Thos. Stack Co. The business will be continued at the old stand at Five Points.

Judge Trimble of the Farmerville Gazette, took the Blanks Sunday for New Orleans. The increasing circulation of his paper requires a power press, and he has gone after it. May success crown his efforts. We are not at liberty to give particulars, but, cannot withhold the fact that the lovers of refined and instructive amusement will soon be offered an entertainment at the Opera House of rare and unusual merit. Dr.

W. Thomas Jordan, aged 49 years, a resident of Richland parish, died at the Ouachita House on the 11th inst. The Knights of Pythias took charge of the remains and interred them in the Monroe Cemetery. Rev. D.

I. Purser of Mississippi, is conducting a series of meetings at the Baptist church in Trenton at 11:30 a. and at the Baptist church in Monroe at 4. and 7:30 p. and they will be continued for the balance of the week.

The interest manifested has been flattering to the distinguished Divine, and his efforts are calculated to be of lasting benefit to his auditors. Mr. F. E. Bowman has sold his Colony plantation with all of its appointments to Mr.

J. F. Box of Georgia, for $7000 cash. The place contains 320 acres, 250 cleared and in cultivation, has good houses and plenty of them, is well stocked with labor and working cattle. In our opinion Mr.

Box has made an excellent trade. Mr. Bowman has acquired a large tract of land in Texas and will remove to it during the Spring. The Waters. The Ouachita measures 364 feet on the guage, 124 feet below the high water of last year.

It is rising at the rate of three inches in 24 hours. East of us the situation grows worse and worse. On account of the overflowed track near Tallulah, through trains were suspended on the 27th ultimo, and to add to the inconvenience the encroachment of the waters at several places has broken the connection with Delhi. The Mississippi is on a stand at Vicksburg and falling at Helena. There can be no relief for the overflowed country until the Mississippi gets back within its banks.

The duration of the distress will depend upon a dry or wet Spring. Our Ice Factory. "Messrs. M. L.

Dedman ice manufacturers, are getting their business before the country. The capacity of their engine is five tons a day. It will be started in time to accumulate a stock sufficient to meet all the demands of this section. Ice will be sold in small quantities for 14 cents a pound, and for 100 or pounds at one cent a more pound. Ice dealers can get special rates.

Brunner of Farmerville has Capt. taken thirty tons, and the enterprise of Bastrop, Columbia, Harrisonburg and Trinity will hardly permit the waters to down without their sumgo mer supplies. Mr. Ed. Ball has charge of the factory and superintends the filling of orders.

He is a gentleman of fine business capacity, strict integrity, and withall courteous and obliging to purchasers or spectators. Ouachita Parish Census. We publish an abstract from the census of 1880 of all the important items relating to Ouachita parish, but in no spirit of exultation. That our people should have made a better showing we freely admit, and that it will be better in the next we most fervently hope. CENSUS OF 1880.

Population 14,685 Real and personal $2,737,385 State and parish 47,278 Floating 9,000 Farms, 1,104 Horses, number 1,528 Mules, 1,761 Oxen, 600 Milch cows, 2,673 Other cattle, 6,011 Sheep, 815 Swine, 19,631 Wool, 2,667 Butter, 32,904 Cheese, 50 Manufactories, 9 Capital in 33,700 Materials, 35,225 Product 56,375 Corn, 130,993 Oats, 1,258 Wheat, 340 Orchard 1,128 Hay, tons. 6 Molasses, 4,100 Cotton, 18,729 Potatoes, Irish, 548 Potatoes, sweet, 28,310 Tobacco, 445 White, Colored, 10,180. As to the $9,000 floating debt, that is a $9,000 mistake. The parish does not owe a dollar to anybody or for anything. Eight hundred and fifteen sheep with a clip of 2,667 pounds, nearly 34 pounds to each, carries with its neglect its most stinging censure.

Nine factories, with a capital of $33,700, is man's contempt for nature's best facilities and richest harvests. The corn crop is the most lamentable part of the exhibit. One hundred and thirty-one thousand bushels fully accounts for hard times and poor stock. Three thousand and three hundred head of horses and mules if humanely fed (75 bushels to each for a year) would require 247,500 bushels, or nearly double the reported product. The cotton, 18,729 bales at $40 per bale, was worth $749,160.

How much of it was left, after supplying the deficit in cribs and store rooms, could be told more accurately by planters than anybody else. Diversified farming is the solution of the Southern problem. Whatever the climate favors and the soil will grow, man must adopt and encourage with all of his energies. It is simple dience to the divine command, and its neglect will naturally bring its own condemnation. The Southern people must live at home.

Look to Missouri for meat, to Kentucky for mules, Kansas for corn, Minnesota for flour, Massachusetts for shoes or New York clothes, when we could supply ourselves from our own pastures, fields and water courses, is to invite poverty through the wrath of Heaven. But the future of this country is not outlined by past appearances. We take pleasure in noting already a small beginning. Capt. D.

C. Morgan has a stud of fine horses and a number of fine cattle. Mr. R. Layton has found sheep husbandry a profitable industry, and is justly proud of his flock of Merinos and Jersey cattle.

The Logan Brothers, Gen. Theobalds and Judge Garrett will devote much attention to feed crops and stock raising in future, and the Colony planters have concluded to give part of their time to mules and horses. A. Willis and R. W.

Faulk, down the river, are' getting some fine stock for breeding. It is a wholesome change, and as our matchless auctioneer would say, "Let 'em roll, let 'em roll Don't fail to get a ticket for that elegant White Sewing Machine which J. E. Behen proposes to give away. Every purchaser of $2.00 worth of goods or upwards is entitled to one ticket free.

Peterson's Magazine for April is already on our table, as welcome as the flowers of Spring, and quite as fresh and beautiful. All the Spring fashions are given in advance, and the fashion cuts, work-table cuts, are without number. The price is but two dollars, and to clubs it is much cheaper. Address Chas. J.

Peterson, 306 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, Pa. Mrs. E. A. Richardson has purchased the Bethune house, in Hart's addition, for $1,045 cash.

At No. 27 DeSiard street, direct St. Louis on steamer Arkansas City, be found fresh creamery butter, XXX from can soda crackers, pearl grits, mess pork, and choice groceries generally. J. E.

BEHEN. A number of our citizens have purchased the exclusive right to manufacture and sell the Acme Churn Power in this State, and have formed a stock company known as the Acme Churn Power Company of Monroe, La. To those who have not seen the Churn Power in operation we would say that it is all the name implies, the Acme of perfection in the way of saving labor. It is simple in construction; rapid and effective in results, and can be operated by a child. Those of us who in our younger days have had experience in producing butter by the old-fashioned method can appreciate an improvement of this kind.

Such enterprises as this have built up the great manufacturing centers of the North. The success of one enterprise has led to the starting of another, and SO on, and why can that not be done here? We have and can produce abundanee of material to manufacture hundreds of articles if we would but utilize i it. There are many things that we buy at a big profit to the manufacturer, besides paying freight and other expenses, that we can and ought to make, not only for ourselves, but for this entire section. The Churn Power Company contemplate establishing a factory for the manufacture of their machines. At present they are made by, Mr.

J. F. Wetzel, which is a sure guarantee that their mechanical construction is all that could be desired. The machines can be seen at Mr. Wetzel's and several of our principal stores.

We bespeak for the Acme Churn Power Company the success which their enterprise deserves. If there was no humbug life would be deprived of more than half its charms. We believe that there is just as much pleasure in being cheated as there is to cheat. We do not blame the Gypsies for their cheek and only hope that those who had their fortunes told last Sunday may not regret the fee paid when they see the predictions fail. Mr.

J. G. Sanders can be found adjoining Sig. Meyer's. He will make a specialty of hardware and machinery.

The popular independent packet Tensas left New Orleans Monday and will arrive here this evening. The weather for the past week has been perfectly beautiful. Spring suits are visible- overcoats are removed. A Question of Glory. A New Enterprise.

An advertisement in the New York papers, calling for 100 white. men and negroes, to appear in the spectacular play of the Black Venus, at Niblo's Garden, brought a crowd of over 1000 applicants. In Texas about a million dollars worth of cotton has rotted, and is rotting in the fields, because laborers cannot be found to pick it. But perhaps there is more glory in wearing a tin helmet and standing in a draft in the wings of a New York stage at seventy-five cents a night than in picking Texas cotton at $2 a day. Last Tuesday's stage brought back to our town Mr.

B. McFarlin, who left some days ago for Florida. It took a very short while to convince him that he had left a far better country than he found, and, to act the part of a sensible man, he picked himself up and came back home. -Bastrop Clarion. J.

L. KALISKI, of North Louisiana Insurance Agency, Monroe, Louisiana, reprepresenting none but first- class Insurance Companies, old in years and strong in capital, is fully prepared to issue policies direct from his office upon all kinds of insurable risks. It is well to state that Kaliski's companies have gained great popularity in this section, owing the manner they have paid their recent losses--PROMPTLY and without any deduction where the losses proved total. No complaints were ever heard of Kaliski's amicable settlement as an adjuster -a most responsible position not every agent action he can has deservedly gained the confienjoy. By his uncompromising dence of the public and endeared himself to those whose claim of loss he advocated most manfully and whose losses he paid most promptly, ahead of all other companies.

'He has built up a very extensive City business and now seeks Country risks, especially on GINS and COUNTRY STORES. The public may feel safe to entrust Kaliski with Insurance business of any kind, as his rates are as low as first-class only can afford to write. Go to J. E.
