Disposing of Cane.
Our small planters of sugar cane liave
not settled down as yet upon any uniform
system of disposing of their crops. Being
-well satisfied that it will not pay to put
lip small mills necessarily imperfect in
the extraction of the juice, and with
equally poor facilities for its conversion
into sugar, able to contend with the pro
ducts of giant rollers and vacuum pans,
they are castiug about for some plan by
which they may hope to obtain a fair ré
munération for the expense of production,
and all incidental expenses. Some are
selling by the ton, the cane to be deliv
ered at certain points, while others are
bargaining for a give» runouut of sugar
from each ton of cane worked np. As
there is » great difference in the richness
of the juice at different stages of the
grinding season, the plan of giving a cer
tain per centage of the yield per tan would
sec m to lie a very fair plan for both the
manufacturer and producer. With square
dealing in the sugar house or refinery,
there ought to be no difficulty in arriving
«t satisfactory results. Each party will
get his share of the sugar in the cane and
sell as his judgment directs. The better
plan perhaps in order to divide the risks
and leave as little room for dissatisfaction
as possible, would be to effect an arrange
ment whereby the producers would re
ceive a per centage of the sugar made
from the cane. Such an arrangement
-would close the door agaiust any bicker
ings in regard to the poverty of the juice.
Peddling Cart. —Mr. Albert Mestayer has
stated a merchandizing cart, with his
brother Norbert in charge, and will op
»•rate chiefly in the Fausse Poiute section.
We wish him success in the venture.
Getting Ready, —Mr, Jac Levy, one of
the partners in the firm of Jacob Davis &
Co., has arrived here and is having the
stores cleaned and prepared for the heavy
invoice of goods expected in a few weeks.
Home Again. —Our esteemed fellow-citi
zens Judge Fred. L. Gates and 8heritf P.
A. Veazey are home again after their trip
to Waukesha, at the Arcadian Springs in
Wisconsin, looking a decade younger than
when they left. To hear them expatiate
.upon the merits of the water, the urbanity
and genial nature of the hosts, and the
courteous bearing of both citizens and vis
itors, one would think they had found the
very spot the credulous Ponce de Leon
sought in vaiu for amidst the wilds of
Florida. With health restoring waters,
a bracing climate, the choicest of viands
served up in styles to suit all tastes, to
gether with the most accomplished ca
terers for the comfçnt of visitors, and boon
companions to while away the hours with,
we are not surprised that they should
Lave Waukesha on the brain.
The Judge says that the rejuvenating
properties of the Spring are such that an
octogenarian is in a day or two converted
into a ruddy cheeked youth in his teens,
and the ganders that warned the Romans
of the approach of Brennas and his Gallic
hosts, after a swim or two across its sil
very surface would find themselves green
goslings in the pen feather stage of de
velopmeut. Waukesha mnst iudeed
be a charming summer resort not
alone for the debilitated, bnt all who de
sire a change of climate, and would take
pleasure on the wing. We have little
doubt that their experienoe and the pub
licity it will obtain through their relera
tioos as regards the virtues of the water
and the social delights of a sojourn there
in the dog days, will induce sn exodus in
that direction by our people in considera
ble numbers next year, and be increased
in volume as the years roll on and their
means augment.
' Cotton in the Seed. —Necessity, the pa
rent of sacrifices, is urging the thriftless
black man to push Iiis cotton in the
market in the seed, and wagons may be
daily seen moving along our streets in
search of a purchaser.
Twin Earn. —There was left at our office
this morning by one of the Hebert broth
ers, twin ears of corn raised by them on
the Mrs. Daniel's plae.e, Fausse l'ointe,
which adds another to the inaoy freaks of
nature as developed during 1885, in the
animal and vegetable kingdoms.
t~W A three mule cane cart, almost new,
is offered for sale, cheap. Apply at the
"Enterprise" office.
Removed. —The Messrs. Ilenry Brothers
have removed their jewelry establishment
two doors above the one occupied by
them oil Main street. The new store has
been neatly fitted up, and the Baltimore
&, Ohio Telegraph Office will be in the
«aine establishment under the charge of
Mr. Millard.
The Weather. —Local showers have pre
vailed in limited supplies for two or three
days past and have been beneficial to the
gardens as well as conducive to comfort
in travelling our streets, which before
their advent were getting quite dusty.
They also assisted in maintaining uar sup
ply of cistern water.
For Sale Cheap and on Time —A twelve
horse ]K»wer engine, boiler, sugar mill and
cane carrier. Apply at the "Euterprise"
office. «
Returned to Hi9 Home. —Mr. William
Robertson, who has been on a visit of
some two weeks to Memphis to see his
mother, now in her ninetieth year and en
joying a degree of health and vigor sel
dom to be met with in one so far advanced
upon the journey of life, is home again
looking remarkably well, and accidents
barred bids fair to rival his maternal pa
rent in the lease of life.
Change of Office.—Mr. L. O. Hacker has
removed his office into the room occupied
by the Benevolent Association, over the
store of Mr. J. C. M. Robertson, where lie
will be pleased to welcome all who desire
to indulge a little in the luxury of litti
gation. He will be on hand at the call of
customers, and warrants the drawing of a
prize by every one who secure a ticket of
his selection in the legal lottery.
Gr Paducah Club Whiskey, equal to the
best, for sale at A. Erath's.
Oysters. —With the advent of the first of
the months which are spelled with the
letter R, the oyster season opens in all
countries north of the equatorial belt
where the delicious bivalves can be had
fresh, and our location being such as to
admit of ample supplies at moderate
prices, we may expect shortly to be revel
ling in those crnstacioiu luxuries. One
boat load has already been put upou the
market.
Facilitien For Turning Boat». —The cut
in the bank at St. Martinsville for turn
ing boats to avoid the difficulty of de
scending stern foremost, has been en
larged by Capt. Belt at his own expense
to accommodate his round boats. The
old cut was ample enough to serve the
Mary Lewis and boats of her length, but
was too restricted for such boats as Capt.
Belt proposes to run iu the trade, and
hence his enlarging of it.
JBelting, Hose aud Steam Fittings at
A. Erath's. Also the Charter Oak Stoves.
Precaution is the Parent of Safety. —There
is a good deal of sickness, chiefly of the
fever type, prevailing in the parish just
now, and as we are admonished by a very
old proverb that "prevention is better
than cure," it would be well for our peo
ple to avoid all exercises calculated to
provoke au attack. There are certain
rules of hygiene that should be observed
at nil times, and especially wheu diseases
show a tendency to assume an epidemic
character. The sickness now is of course
merely endemic, but it may under certain
conditions of atmospheric influence aud
from other causes, assume more repulsive
features.
Fire Company Xo. 2'$ Grand Ball. —All
hands and the cook must remember that
a Grand Ball to aid in purchasing a Steam
Fire Engine is to come off this evening at
Serrett's Hall. A few doUars contributed
to the cause now will not ouly be well re
paid with enjoyment of the rarest kind,
but may some day be repaid with com
pound interest wheu property iB threat
ened by the destroying element. The
boys are very anxious to secure an engine
and believe that the City Fathers can do
something to help the thing along by a
slight increase of taxation, in the form of
a special call upon the property holders.
The flame extinguishers we have had up
to the present time have paid for them
selves ten times over, and as we are still
short of the required strength for a big
fight in a high wind, it is to be hoped that
by hook or by crook the boys will get the
engine. We have heard that a number of
influential citizens will contribute liber
ally in furtherance of the cause, provided
the municipal authorities will incline a
favorable ear to the petition of the boys
for assistance.
t Callahan <t Lewis, steam e istern factory,
New Iberia, La Send for price list.
yew Syrup.—O ut fellow-citizen, Mr.
Victor Bartlie, who is never satisfied to
eome out neck and neck in a race, but al
ways aims to be at least a full length
ahead, has brought to town tlie first new
syrup of 1885. It is a nice article and will
tickle the palates of all who revel iu sac
charine sweets to the wines. We wish
liini success in his early departure.
Hymenial. —On Thursday, at the resi
dence of the bride's father, Mr. Sylvestre
Romero, on Lake Tasse, Mr. Edward De,
blanc and MissNezilda Romero were united
in the silken bands of matrimony. The
groom was a widower, and having tasted
the sweets of wedded life and found it a
safe thing to tic to, concluded to have
himself tied up again. His friends in
order to have a hand in celebrating the
nuptial delights of the honey moon treated
the loving couple to a serenade. We wish
the happy pair the fruition of their
fondest hopes as they journey along the
pathway of life.
Call for Paducah Club Whiskey, for
sale at A Erath's.
Meeting of the Educational Society. —We
again call the attention not only of the
members but the public generally, to the
regular monthly meeting of the Educa
tional Society next Saturday evening, at
o'clock, at Serrett's Hall,instead of to-day
as previously announced, the first aud
third Saturday of each month being
meeting days of the Board of Directors,
while the Society meets on the 2d Saturday
There ought to be no necessity for a notice
to the members, but as other business may
engross their attention also, we have
thought it not amiss to remind them of
their duties iu this all important cause.

Bound to Hare Their Rereuge. —Our Base
Ball club having been three times de
feated by that of St. Martinsville, are not
disposed to own up the corn, as the boys
that compose it can bo heard daily aud
nightly whistling the tune or
"It will never do to give it up so Mr.
Brown,
It will »ever do to give it up so,"
and to-morrow two weeks will wade into
the poppiu jays of that antiquated rep
resentative of past prosperous generations,
and leave them shorn of their laurels as
was Sampson of his locks after a brief nap
with his head resting in the lap of Deli
lah. The renowned curve pitcher, Ed
mond Broussard, will be on hand and
show the old town boys how to learn the
ball the tricks of a boomrang,
nr'Ice Cream Freezers and Water Cool
ers at reduced prices at A. Erath's.
Returned to Their Haunt». —Our police
men for a month or more seemed to be do
ing a land-office business in sending un
sophisticated canines on pilgimages to
that blissful paradise beyond this eplieme
ral existence, set apart for man's most
faithful friend and companion, where the
trees are burthened with their harvests of
marrow bones, and the valleys flow with
delicious broths, but one would think
that the ghosts of all the dogs expatriated
for twenty years past, reinforced by brig
ad es of relatives and friends, had returned
to bark and howl their curses in the ears
of their executioners, as our nights are now
made hideous with their hellish discord.
There seom to be ten dogs now where there
was one before the era of poisoned sau
sages, and the only reasonable solution of
the riddle is that the present howlers are
the defunct of the preseut and past years,
in new bodies.
The police are again on the war path
exterminating canines, which seem to be
hydra headed and multiply as we have
said in more than a direct ratio to the
slaughter made of them. As our people
are not educated up to an appreciation of
dog meat for roasts, stews, broils aud sau
sages, and no Chinese are here to utilize
such delicate tit bits, the Corporation
might make a handsome speculation by
colonizing them on some of the Gulf coast
islands, and slaughtering them every
winter and shipping the meat duly salted
to China and the hides to France to be
tanned and worked up into gloves.
