To the EHitor of the Thibodaux Sentinju..
Dear Mr. Editor:—[ suppose it is
somewhat a work of supererogation to
tell you that the country people are
pleasurably excited over the announce
ment that on Sunday morning next a
young and bewitchiugly fair maid,
"suaviter iu modo fort iter in re" prompt
ed by tlie offer of a beautiful gold
watch and chain will attempt the
ascent ct the far-famed Thibodaux
water tower. Now Mr. Editor, you
must realize how fraught, with danger
such an undertaking will be to one
unaccustomed to scaling such heights
and must concur with the opinion of
the public that should this young lady,
braving not only the perils of this
ascent but also its concomitant pub
licity, succeed ill reaching the utmost
pinnacle of this modern tower of Pisa
that she will lie, most deservedly en
titled to the promised reward.
A friend aud well-wisher of the
TOWN COUNCIL.
WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
KOR WKKK ENDING MONDAY APRIL <>0
1895,
The weather of past seven days av
eraged from three to four degrees
cooler than usual at this season of the
year throughout the State, the nights
during the greater portion of the week
being so cool as to retard the growth
of vegetation. In addition to the un
favorable temperature conditions the
weather was very dry, ojily a few lo
calities receiving light showers, while
by far the greater portion of the State
had to contend with a continuation of
the dronthy conditions that have now
pievailed for several weeks. This
combination of unfavorable conditions
is particularly unfortunate at this time.
\\ bile seeding has progressed quite
favorably, while the earlier seeding
that did germinate is now threatened
by the unfavorable weather. The
completion of seeding is in many cases
being delayed until rains fall, and
while a goodly portion of the corn is
worked, yet is rain also needed for the
completion of this task.
The cotton is not coming up to good
stands and the same may be said of
coni and rice; in fact until warm
rains fall there can he no marked
prog less shown, and a slow and un
healthy growth of vegetation on seed
ed areas can alone be expected.
Early planted cotton is already re
ported as ''dying out" in some locali
ties on account of the cool nights aud
lack of moisture, and any prolongation
of the dry spell will make replanting
necessary, aud but add to the already
late season.
A goodly portion of the corn crop
has been worked out in good condition
but the stands are not the best iu the
northern aud central parishes, and
even iu the more southern parishes
tin- crop is suffering for rain.
The low stage of water is having a
serious effect on the l ice planters and
the anticipated increase in acreage, as
toi mei ly repot ted by correspondents,
will not be verified unless rain comes
soon and a higher stage of water be
attained in streams. The rice already
seeded is not coming up well—the ef
fects of the cool and dry weather—
and where np. and facilities for pump
ing at hand, that method is being em
ployed to further the growth of the
staple.
Sugar cane is also a sufferer from
the untoward weather conditions.
Stands of plant cane are generally fair
while stubtde continues to be reported
variably. The entire crop is back
ward and no marked improvement iu
condition may be expected until warm
showers aud sunshine become the rule
Fruit continues good, and pastures
and gardens are fair, but they, as well
as all other classes of vegetation, need
warm rains.
Some lev/ reports are at hand indi
cating that worms are injuring coin
and cane in some localities.
The rains of the week, as reported
from selected stations by telegraph,
wen-as follows: Cheney rilie .27 on
22nd ; Coushatta .02 on 22nd ; Shreve
port. a sprinkle on 16th and 22nd;
Baton Rouge a sprinkle on 16th and
21st and .53 on 17th; Donaldsonville
a sprinkle tin 15th ; Lake Charles .47
on 22nd, and Opelousas a sprinkle
on 22nd.

Mon Cher Editenr:— l have been

My spellin' has been criticised also,
but since spellin' reform seems to be
the need of the day, why haven't I got
as much right to help reform it as any
body. They even criticise my gram
mar. One of (lie first things I learnt
about grammar was, that grammarians
don't always agree. 1 had a teacher
iu giammar once with who (she would
have said irliom) I could not learn to
agree. Well, what do you think ? She
docked me 50tqo for differing with

examination. 1 concluded that since

and then I will show the world that I
kin defend myself. They even go so
far in their criticisms as to call me a
fool and say that what I write is all
nonsense. While such language is
extremely personal, and not very com
plimentary to me, still L do not care,
for I am wiiriug for posterity. The
