"THE NORTH LOUISIANAIAN." - Such is the name of a new paper just started at
the beautiful little town of Vienna, in our neighboring parish Jackson, and
which is issued under the auspices of our ancient journalistic chum, W.
Stran Custis, Esq., for many years the editor and proprietor of the
Claiborne "Advocate". Feeling an interest in everything that belongs to old
Jackson, aside from our very high regard for friend Custis, personally, we
take pleasure in welcoming the new-comer to our table and wishing it the
highest degree of success known to country newspapers. We are glad to see
the Police Jury of that parish recognize the value of a parish paper by
having its proceedings published in the "Louisianian". We shall regard with
peculiar pleasure the weekly arrivals of our Jackson contemporary, hailing
as it does from the midst of a people whom we love and amongst whom we were
reared - whom we battled for in times past and some of whom battled us,
especially when we fought single-handed the war for Douglas against
Breckinridge - for nationality and peace as opposed to sectionalism and war.
