Mr.. JOHN MCLEAN, managing proprie-

medium for the insertion of assignation
advertisements. People in other lines
of business, who occasionally try its
columns, do not report realizing very

Louisiana. In speaking ofthe intlmida-
tim of voters by threatening to DISMISS
them from employment, he said:
81 can not forget that the discharge o.
,aborers from employment for political
cause has most seductive and democrat
ling example, in acts practiced py the
highest authority in the land. While we
have law on our Statute book imposing
a penalty for intimidation OF voters Dy
threatened or actual discharge from em
. uloyment, it is the notorious practice o

people arc offering to bet on an aver

Other fields that were pasturcd too

average twenty-five bushels per acre.
Oats, Spring wheat, and Barley, all

never looked better at this time of the

crop.
Early potato crop is good, and they
