The cane when standitin as the field looked fine and was very ty promising, but when out and mn brought to the scale, it proved light, and was disappointing to the ig planter.

This cemete )- ry as the others had been neglec- - it ted, almost abandoned. Now that o the Rev. Father seems disposed to make improvements, we iev a, our people should join him, come to some understanding about 11 restoring order and system in the y cemetery. All the old abandoned d tombs should be removed, new al-. Sleys could be made and some sys-e tem adopted. A portion of the cemetery should be reserved for tombs, an another for graves. We can see no objection to the selling of the abandoned lots if they are unclaimed after due notice has been given, the proceeds of these sales going to the improVemant and keeping of the cemetery. We know of no cemetery in the state as badly kept and as disorderly in appearance as ours. Now is the time to remedy all this and it should be done at one.e The Right Way to Epand. 1 Dailt flate.. While the New York Herald supported Mr. McKinley for re a election, on the ground that the Kansas City platform threatened r in the event of Mr. Bryai's eleo tion to put the country yn a sil ver bagis, it has never ceased to pour hot shot into the imperialies I tic policy to which Presiaent Me. i Kinley is committed. In a recent editorial the Herald very sensibly Ssaid: S"The best way to expand is to i- make better use of the oppertpni. •- ties which are close at hand, and to create others. The South is practically an *rdeveloped coun try. It has fotste, river fields and mines which are waiting to be used. No need to go the ad wich or the Philippine ishads, fo there is plenty of work to be done at home, and plenty of money in doing it. What is needed is bot territory saway off where the ant - n sets, but a more careful coahena Stration of energy. In that diree tion lies a fortune for the man of II vim." SAll this is quite tree. 'jetee is Sin the 8oath unexplored leldesamd t undeveloped resources enough for . all the capital that could be found P for the next twenty-five yeat~s, st . the end of which time the contry would be richer and the people more prosperous than it we had Sgobbled up all the islands in the SPacific, and stronger, too, s a h . tion, for the more insular posses sions we acquire the weaker we 'shall be. We have all the room 0 in which to expand right here at - home and it will be a healthy anad ,profitable expansion. Persons desiring to boy or reint - farms and plantations for neit ree o son should consult Mr. Laisaire j i Bienvenu, the real estate agent, as be he has several very gocd farms fU and plantations close to Befineries and Rallroad.
