The St. Landry Printing and Pub lishing ('ompany Limited announce to the public that with this issue of the St. I.andrv ('L.triox, ihley begin the publication of a weekly journal which will be devoted to the dissemiration of news of a general and local character, and to the discussion of all live topics vwhich may concern or interest the public. In its editorial department it will be strickly democratic. It will hold to the Jteffersonian doctrine of •'equal rights to all, special privilieges to none," and will oppose all monopo lies and lottery- companies, especially t he Louisiana Lottery Company and the proposition to renew its char ter. The C'LArlo is not started to serve any temrporary purpose bhut it will be a permanent e.ituamlier having ample assurance of a genet s sup port from every portion of our ish. While the managers of the paper intend to make it a demrrtic journal, they promise also that it shall be a friend and organ of the masses of the people, a medium which they may freely use to reflect their wishes, opin ions and interests upon all question. They furthermore promise that it: influence will be exerted to maintain harmony within the ranks of the de mocracy local and state, and that it will not be the partisan of any clique or fajct ion, whether in office or out of office, but it will frely criticise the conduct of all public officials or bodies but al ways in a spirit of fairness and with the sole object of securing the public goo Recognising the fact that the agri cultural classes embrace within their ranks in great part the bone, sinew, patriotism and intelligenceof thecom monwealth as well as the voting strength upon which depends the weal or woe of the democratic party, the C.RlIow will open wide its columns to Farmers' Alliance for the publica tion of its official proeeedingsas well as kor the discussion of its principles and aims. While making mention from week to week of important news of a general character, the'CLaIox will take special-pains -o keep its-readers-posted as to all local matters of interest, and it solicits short communications touch lnfg the needs andmiSa e 4eiý ifut-' sia t in every neighborlood of our great parish and finally with malice toward none bI,t with charity and good will for all, we confidently launch out journalistic enterprise e--·1 most res pet-tftlly solicit for it tL i,,ispport of the public.

The case of Simon Bloch vs. Sol. Loeb was on trial before a jury at the time we went to press. We have received for publication too late for this issue the proceedings of the parish convention of the farmers' Union held at Bayou (Chicot last week, and will publish them in full next week. These proceedings will be found to be interesting, especially theiaction taken in reference to the attempt to get out an independent canadidate against Mr. Blanchard in the fourth district. The convention condemned that move in very strong language and there by shows that the Alliances of this great parish are true and sound to the core in their allegiance to the democratic party. It is a timely utterance and demonstrates that this organisation in our parish is in safe hands. Capt. J. J. Thompson and Mr. P. D. Williams attended as delegates from the Opelousas Alliance. The races, an eye witness tells us. that took place on the Opelousas race course, on the 4th and 5th insts., were numerous, but the horses, with a few exceptions, were not very fast. But little money was bet, and consequently there was not much excitement. The fastest trotting, one mile, was done by P. D. Williams' brown stallion, King William, in 3:10; and it is thought that, with practice and training, he can do it in 2:40. The track is new, but it is in good condition; and there is no reason, with the well bred young stock that is coming on in this see tion, why it should not be well patronized in the near future. Ceo.
