The Women's Christian Temperance Union held a meeting at the Metho dist church last Wednesday night. Prof. Pardee was the orator selected to discuss the temperance issues. Mr. Pardee made a very forcible argument couched in pretty language, showing that he had given the subject long and deep thought. At the conclusion of Mr. Pardee's remarks Mr. Edwin G. Hunter was called upon to express his views. Mr. Hunter stated that lie had attended the meeting without any intention of speaking, but would briefly give his views upon local option if the audi onlce wished to hear them. No sensi ble, he said, wanted argument to con vince him that the use of intoxicating drinks was hurtful ; that it was moral ly, mentally and physically ruinous to man; that it was the curse of this cen tury; so far had the evil effects been felt that the intelligent and philan thropic people throughout civilization were now engaged in devising ways and means to curtail if not entirely stop the distribution of whisky. He did not think, however, that local op tion would effect the desired result; lie thought that if the people of the Par ishes would instruct their legislators, a constitutional amendment could be submitted and adopted prohibiting the sale or importation of whisky in the State; he would support such an amendment and join the ladies in their every effort to have it adopted; he would go farther than this, he would sanction any law which would prohibit its manufacture in the United States. It would require some law reaching further than local option; this could nat be enforced, and was a farce; he had supported the local option ordi nance on the stump and elsewhere was willing to give it a trial; the trial had satisfied him that other legislation was wanted, and he was willing to as sist in obtaining it. The Rev. Mr. White then made a short address, insisting that prohibi tion had been enforced better than any other law on the statute books. -Railroads are projected on all sides. Barer & Weii's great trunk line has reached this town and is open to the inspection of the public, who are cordially invited to call at Hust myre's old stand, corner Second and Jackson sts. -THE dimensions of the main buil ding of the Cotton Compress will be SOx120 feet-two wings connected with this luilding will run to 5th and Gth streets. Each wing will be 40x 179 feet. The receiving side track will be on the south side of the build ing, and the delive:y side track will be on the north side. Mr. A. A. Mitns, of New Orleans, is the gentle man who contracted to put up the ma chiinery. The locations for founda tion, side tracks, switches, etc., were mtade last week by Engineer Barnum and associates. The machinery is ex pected here this week. REMNANT WEEK.--To close out we are offering a fine collection of calicos, lawns, domestics, ribbons, laces and embroideries at very low figures. Bauer & Well. -STEPHEN Smith, colored, wanted here for the murder of his wife, said to have been committed in 1873, on the Archinard place, in this Parish, was arrested on Saturday last in Baton Rouge, by Sheriff Bates, news to that effect having been received by Sheriff Paul, who has gone after his prisoner. At the time the deed was committed Stephen skipped out, and has been a refugee from justice from that day un til now. The grand jury presented a true bill for murder. The old saying is proven again-"Murder will out !" -Our trunk line is moving rapidly and its collection embraces all sizes, shapes, qualities and" styles. Close connection guaranteed. Latest im proved looks. Bauer & Weil. -MR. Chas. MA. Babbitt, engineer in charge of the surveying party now making the survey of the Louisianna and Arkansas Railroad from here to Monrse, was in Alexandria on Thurs day. He gave it out that he had fin ished surveying as far as Little river, 18 nmiles in all, and that the delay had been caused principally by the rains. He expects to work faster go ing into Harrisonburg. The route, he says, is a good one, and from here to Little river, with the exception of two angles, is perfectly straight. -Try our $1.00 low-quirters for la dies; Ibest in the market for the money. Bauer & Well. -SzINcE our last issue, Mr. Win. Hill, a Texas cotton buyer, has visi ted Alexandria, with a view of loca ting here with his family in Septim her next. Being assured that he would be furnished all the necessary bank ing facilities for a business like his, makes it almost a certainty that .e will come as soon as the business sea son opens. We will welcome him and all others who may come to Alex andria. Our Town To Have An Ice Factory. The following letter has been an swered, at our request, by one of our prominent citizens, who always takes an active interest in everything calcu lated to enhance the growth and pros perity of Alexandria. The reply fur nishes Mr. Mire with full data, and ex tends all the encouragement possible. It is highly probable,, therefore, that at no distant day, Alexandria will have an ice factory, and will supply all other towns in central Louisiana with that which was once regarded as a luxury but is now one of the neces sities of life: NEW ORLEA.S, LA., ( July 21, 1T.) H. L. Bioseat, Alexandria, La: Dear Sir:-1 would like to correspond with some of your enterprising citizens with a view to putting up an ice machine in your city.
