We were three days without any west

change Of time has taken place on the

msjority Of them, making things no
better fast. The mail from the east
does not reach Tunnelton until 5:5S

papers three days after their publica-
ton, and Baltimore dailies two days
latter date" The mail train from the
west reaches Tunnelton at about ii
clock A. NJ, but brings the mail from
Psrkersburg instead OF Wheeling, con-
sequently the Wheeling papers can't
reach us until the day after they are
Published. We might possibly live
through this were the mails regular,
but they srn't regular, and This is
wherein our troubles are multiple.
On Thursday last 20 mail was left
at Tunrelto nor our mail taken on the
mail train going east. Sach negligence

office Department TITS is the second
time within the last few weeks that
no mails have been given or received
at Tuunelton by the postal car clerks,
and it is high time that some remedy
was administered to cure this evil. The
Baltimore and OHIO railroad should
have some convenience about it if it
does own the postal department of this

the present mail arrangements, and We
are glad to see it. Mail facilities are

Assassination of a Minister.

Under this heading we find in the
Coushatta Citizen, and copied into the
City papers the following article, and
are glad to be able to pronounce tho
whole matter false and unfounded; and
cannot account for such strange and
sensational items being forged and
given circulation:
We learn through the Rev. w. D.
Stayton that Rev. Nathan H. Bray
Parish Judge of Vernon parish, was
assassinated few weeks ago at his res
idence in Leesville. We have seen
nothing of it in any of the papers, and
we were dumbfounded at the intelli-
gence that such man as N. H. Bray, a
Christian and minister, an upright,
good, honest man, and an impartial
Judge, should ever be the victim Of
assassination. Judge Bray was for a
long time, and we think at the time he
was killed, Master of the Anacoco
Lodge. We learn he was elected Judge
in November by large majority of the
voters of Vernon parish, and held his
commission from McEnery as we'll as
Kellogg. He was quietly sitting in his
house at night when a party of men
rode up and shot him, killing him in
stantly. The parties were seen, but
not recognized, and as yet no informa-
ton as to the murderers, who they
were or where they went, has been
had.
Judge Bray was man highly re-
spected and very much loved in the
community in which he lived; and to
think in his advanced years, when
hoary locks crowned his head, when he
had labored for more than thirty years
for the Baptist church and for his peo-
pie and parish, he should be singled
out to satiate political hate and re-
venge by band of assassins and cut
threats is enough to curdle the blood
and arouse the most revengeful spirit
in the most peaceable citizen. We
hope our Anacoco friends, who were
allied to Judge Bray by the strongest
ties Of brotherhood, will not leave a
stone unturned, or a dark corner or
thick bush unsearched, until the per-
petrators Of this foul crime are brought
to justice.

q Our Clerks and Recorders, at
least the outside ones, cannot keep still
this hot weather, and seem determined
to relieve the dull monotony of the
Grant-peace of our Town. These out
siders, who have no right or semblance
of right to the Offices, except the fraud
ulent count of the infamous Hawkins
Lynch Board, made brush--under
whip and spur, on last Saturday, and
nolens rolens strove to get the coveted
prizes but were badly euchered by the
insiders, and of course retired with the
red flag in their faces. The little
emuete created momentary furry
but soon passed off and is now buried
in the catacombs of Radical fiascos and
farces, and the two outsiders went
home wiser, if not better men.

B9We direct public attention to the
Charter of the Rapides Agricultural
Fair Association, published in the

but glad to announce the Inauguration
of such desirable and needed Associa-

and erect the necessary buildings on
the premises and be ready for an open

to say hereafter in behalf and in the

u 1t was not to be supposed that
SO serious an affair as the recent panic
on the bourse in Vienna could pass of
without its little accompanying ro-
mance-and here it is: There was q
young man named Modern who did
business on the bourse, as the repre-
sentative of several leading houses on
the continent. He had himself con-
siderable fortune, and his business was
prosperous and profitable. Moreover,
he had recently been married to 4
young lady of great beauty. Amid
this happy state of things, the crisis
overlook him, and in an hour he lost
100000, his entire fortune. There.
upon he escaped the insolyents' court
by jumping into "the beautiful blue
be."-[Chicago Times.

THE PREVALENCE OF CRIME.-The
cry from all parts of the country Of
murder, robbery, and the other lesser
crimes has induced many of our best
thinkers to examine into the cause Of
crime ; what steps are best to be taken
for it's prevention, and whether Capital
Punishment is beneficial as a proven.
tive, etc.
DIR. John Stolz, of Chicago, has in.
troduced his ideas in work entitled
"Murder, Capital Punishment and the
Law"
The Book really is q sensation, it
strikes to the very bottom of the cause
Of Crime. It will undoubtedly cause
some Of our best and most highly in
fuential families to stare in wonder
ment at the truths laid bare. Our
most humane and christian people
should look deeper tnan they have re-
Gently been doing. The work is asuit-
able one for every family. It is very
interesting, being illustrated by facts
brought forth in connection with the
things that lead and induce our people
to commit crime. The book is hand
somely printed and bound by the Union
Publishing Company, and Illustrated,
the frontispiece being u handsome il
lustration of the execution of the Hero
Martyr of the American Revolution,
Captain Nathan Hale. The work is
sold by subscription only.

TAKE CARE OF THE HA1R.-As to
men, we say, when the hair begins to
fall out, the best plan is to have it cut
short, give it good brushing with a
moderately stiff brush, while the brush
is dry, then wash it we'll with warm
soap suds, then rub into the scalp, about
the roots of the hair little bay rum,
brandy OF camphor water. Do these
things twice a week. Damp the hair
with water every time the toilet is
made. Nothing ever made is better
for the hair than soft water, if the
scalp is kept clean in the way we have
named. The use of oils, of pomatums,
or grease of any kind, is ruinous to the
hair of man or woman. We consider
it a filthy habit, almost universal
though it be, for it gathers dust and
dirt, and soils wherever it touches;
nothing but pure soft water should
ever be allowed on the heads of chill
dren. 1t is a different practice that
robs our women of their most beauti-
full ornament long before their prime;
the hair of our daughters should be
kept within two inches until their
twelfth year.

BSince our last Red River has been

THAT UNIFICATION.

to the performance of it's part of the
contract At the late Presidential
election the Democrats made every
possible concession to the negro ele.
ment. They agreed to accord them all
their rights, took large part of the
Republican platform, and, as pledge
of their sincerely. nominated two life
long defenders of the negroes rights fol-
the Offices of President and Vice Pres
ident. The negroes were evidently
very much obliged to the Democrats
for their condescension, but voted the
Republican ticket in body. So now,
they will doubtless convey their Gin
cere thanks and most distinguished
considerations to Messrs. Beauregard
& Bynum for their efforts to obtain
for them more than they ever asked
and more than the Republican party
ever could possibly give them. But
what guarantee can they give that they
will not still ally themselves with the
party which has SO foully plundered
the men who are proving themselves
so generousq
Now, We take it that the "unifica-
ton" scheme was intended to have
some practical result. We do not sup
pose that Messrs. Beauregard e. Bynum
propose to invite the negro into hotels
and steamboats,, simply because, from
a sentimental stand point, hotels and
steamboats, are just the fittest places
in the world for negro. 1t doubtless
was intended to "unifcate" the negro
into some other party than the one
which has recently been sending negro
and white man to the Devil. The ne
gro has heretofore seemed to have had
a natural affinity for the carpet-bagger
who, he says has given. him all his
rights. The carpet-bagger has been
perfectly safe in Offering social free
dom and equality, because he had no
equality to give him above the station
he now occupies. Carpet-baggers have
no hotels or steamboats,; but of course
can make way with those of other peo-
pie, just as they have made way with

trical current between the negro and
carpet-bagger I If not then the only
good thing we can see in the matter is
the good things that the "unified" meet
ing consumed at Moreau's.
The weather is hot and the crops are
in danger. Let us try to keep cool for
a while and get the crops out of the
grass. We shall have a plenty of time
to look into new tangled projects be-
tween this and the election which Con-
gress has promised us. Let us not he
in hurry. And before welget into
another new departure let us know

D The weather, the past week, has
been a decided improvement on that
of the past six weeks; in fact we have
had a week of fair and seasonable
weather, just as was long needed for
the crops. And our planters have
taken good advantage of it and made
a good and profitable weeks work. The
grass has been cut down, right and
left, and the crops in their better looks
show it visibly, and can be now styled
above the average. Another such
week and We may safely predict a
much better outlook for our planters.
