New TEl|:r.;e ite.n Llr. --Sa;ys the
Iberia :uqait Ir-,cl of July 26: As
promnised out citizens whent they sub
scribed. Mr. Davis very Ilnomptly
commenced work last week. Poles
were first lput uil o l Main street, co(-i
iuencinig at the telegraph dflice, and
now they shetch ;ttaway off miles toward
St. Marftinsville. Soon the line will
be computleted to St. Martinsville; theni
lBreanx Bridge, anti finally connect
with the ( )lelonsats line at V'et milion
ville. We woulnh suggest to oiur neigh
bors on the coast that they had btter
communicate with Mr. J. W. l)avis,
at this Itlce. labout exteundling his line
across to Pl;iqueemine, and thence
down tot New Orleans. Thei will thus i
he able to cointmnicate with all of!
Western Louisiana, as well as the
world generally, by way of New Or
leans.
Whatever may be said of the hard
ships of the fintoer-an.id Iimany of
themit are imt:ginary--he is the indO
penident man after all. VWhile banks i
are breaking, merchiants fiiling, foun
dries cooling down, mtills stopping,
and rianufacturies blecotmiong silent,
the farmer's soil is just as ,pro(duetive
as ever. His maukets may be dull, it
is true, atnd lie utay at times feel dis
conragetd, but lie has his own living.
Starvation never crosIses his path. Illis
cotton flields and sheep ill yield his
clothing, his granaries bread, his stock
mtteat, and his garden and orchard lux
uies. So amid the real distress of
other callings, lie is still tle inde
pendent farmer. Young men, !hink
of these things before you mako up
i.your niitids to look uPll soiii otlher
calling.--J ,,s qic(dl Reporter.
