i r. w. McClendon, (6t) Recorder; The Monroe Bulletin WlIX BE SENT TO ANY ADDRESS We have been assured by a gentleman whose connection with the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific railroad places him in a position to know, that there is no probability of that corporation removing its domicile and machine shops from this city. The reasons in favor of their remaining here are sufficient, from an economic point of view. In the first place, this is nearly the central point of the line.

Next, and most important, the road to the east of this is practically a level, to the west there a considerable ascending grade. Now, the same sized engine that would draw a train of thirty loaded i from Delta to Monroe without difficulty, would not be able to draw more than twelve of the same cars from Monroe to Arcadia. In other words, larger engines are needed on the line west of Monroe, than to the east of this point. This necessitates a change at this point in trains going through, either in the make-up of the trains or in the engines drawing them. It is therefore the most convenient point on the line for the railway shops.

Besides this, the company owns a large and valuable property at Monroe, ample for the erection of their shops and enclosures. To overcome these present advantages, greater inducements must be held out than any point on the road is able to offer. Real Estate Transfers.

This day, the anniversary of our Lords coming forth from the dead, broke with all the beauty and freshness of an early spring morning, tilling in nature occurred to mar the harmony of the joyful festival. Sons of men and sons of angels seemed to join in the chorus, The Son of God is risen. A large attendance at all the churches in the city, bore testimony to the reverential feelings of our people. Faith, Hope and Charity for the time were supreme. Mr.

M. J. Waldenberg does a cash business at Clias. Jacobs old stand. Ilis stock of dry goods, clothing notions, has been selected with great care and priced at the lowest possible figures.

There are bargains in every thing he offers, and the times are a good excuse for purchasers to look them up. Mr. Waldenberg invites inspection and takes the chances of a sale upon himself. Messrs. Braecy Brother well known as dentists who take pride in their profession and give satisfaction in every job.

They use all of the modern improvements and can do any kind of work quickly and easily. They arc good men, and would undertake nothing that would not he beneficial to their patrons. Sholars Key and J. L. Kaliski fire insurance agents, offer their services to property owners through our columns.

They represent first-class companies and give absolute security against loss. These gentlemen will do substantial justice by their patrons. Mr. Joseph Reid took passage on the Blanks last Saturday, with the in tention of making his home in Kansas, He is a fine workman and a clever gentleman, and carries with him the good wishes of all who know him.

MONROE, MARCH 31, 1SS0. The Fiftli District Court for the parish of Ouachita will begin its first jury term on next Monday, the 5th of April. The Irish Relief Fund has been increased since last report as follows From Father Enaut, A. L. Swan, $1.

We are again under obligations to our good friend Lewis D. Allen, for numerous favors. If the people of Monroe were as grateful to this good citizen as the Bulletin, Allen would grow in favor and wealth to his hearts content. Dr. A.

B. Sholars has one of the best supplied drug stores in North Louisiana. He carries all varieties of druggists sundries, and keeps store fine cigars, tobacco, pure wines and liquors. We know the Doctor and his clerks, and can safely recommend them to public favor and patronage. The mass meeting on Saturday passed a resolution instructing the delegates from Ouachita to support our confrere Capt.

McCranie, for delegate from this State to the National Democratic Convention. This is a deserved compliment to an able and ardent supporter of Gen. Hancock, Ouachitas choice for President. We hope the Captain will go to the Convention. Mr.

J. M. Womack informs that the gnats are again very hud ou the river below here. Mr. Canu lias lost one or two of his mules, re ccntly purchased, and Dr.

DeCraf fenreid two. The back water is in side the rear fences on Messrs. Canns and David Faulks places and rising rapidly. Work is suspended among part of the population and time passed chasing the buffalo fish. The Board of Trade had a meeting Friday evening to consider measures for the advancement of the railroad from Monticello, via Bastrop, to Monroe.

Resolutions were passed pledging the support of the Board to the enterprise, and looking to a subscription by this city in aid thereof. Several members of the Board will attend the Convention at Bastrop next Monday, and will no doubt fully disclose the nature of the assistance to be expected from our merchants. An impression prevails, to some extent that it will not be necessary to register in order to vote for city officers on the first Monday in May. It should be borne in mind that it is not a State election and not governed by laws relating to such, but that it is a city election under a special law that applies solely to the city of Monroe. To be valid the election and the conditions of the voters must be complied with.

The city government has taken the right steps and every one entitled to vote has an opportunity of making it effective by registering his name with Mr. D. B. Trousdale, registrar, at the Calaboose. If it is neglected, an application to vote on election day will be refused.

If you desire to participate in the election, register at once. Mr. George W. Millers son, between six and seven years old, was drowned in the Bayou DeSiard last Saturday evening. He was accustomed to playing ou the bayou bank and during that day had been ordered off by various persons.

It appears that the little fellow while playing on the edge was precipitated into the water by a false step or the caving of the bank. No one saw him fall in and ten or more minutes must have elapsed between the accident and its discovery, notwithstanding several men were working near by. Before he had been missed his hat was seen floating on the water an examination of the shore disclosed foot prints and the blubbering water indicated his position. The body was recoveted without trouble. All efforts at resuscitation were vain.

The boy was unusually bright for his years and gave his loving parents promise of much usefulness. He was an only child. Weekly Statement of Dead Letters advertised at Monroe, for the week ending April 3, 1380. GENTLEMENS LIST, W. S.
