Immediately across the parish line, LA 19 passes through the small town of Slaughter, intersecting LA 412 at Church Street. The highway proceeds northward, now following the Gloster Southern Railroad (GLSR) through more rural surroundings. About north of Slaughter, LA 19 passes through an area known as Ethel, where it intersects two minor state routes, LA 956 and LA 955. LA 19 turns northeast, running concurrently with the latter for a short distance before resuming its northern trajectory. Now running parallel to the railroad line at a greater distance, the highway intersects LA 10 at McManus. LA 10 connects with the nearby towns of Jackson and Clinton to the west and east, respectively. north of LA 10 is an intersection with LA 963 near a point known as Gurley.
