st. James Sentinel: 1t may not be
generally known that china berries
are death to hogs. The storm Of last
Monday blew.down large quantities of
them in the vicinity of Judge Landry's
lot in which he had fifteen fine hogs.

higher up the bayou. We sincerely

its grip on consumers. Freight on
western produce from New Orleans to
Houma is much greater than from
Louisville to New Orleans.
