One-third the time

because to inhale
OXyGenated Air it
goes direct to the
Lungs and passes
through the tissues
and comes in direct
contact with t Ii e
blood as it is forced
into the Lungs by
the action of the
heart. All the blood
i'll our veins returns
to the heart every
four minutes if the
blood is good, and
forced from t Ii e
heart to the lungs,
and the more OXy-
gen you inhale into
the lungs the more
you purify t b e
blood. When OXy-
gen comes in con-
tact with the inn
purities in the blood
it carbOnizes and
burns, causing the
blood to be heated
so that it warns
every part of the
body, rs it goes on
it's revOlu ton s

OUR DUTY.

Amid the general uncertainties
and vicisitudes attending the po-
Iitical prospects Of our beloved
Louisiana /; surrounded IA we are.
by general decay and rottenness
in the body polite. and lust for
Office and power ; with our dispo-
sition discussed and enqui:ed into
as if we were o vassal instead OF
great and independent State, it be
comes the duty of West Feliciana
to determine and act upon some
settled policy, needless and re-
CARELESS of the contentious and
chaos that reigns supreme. We
have interests outside Of the mere
question of the Governor-hip Of
the State although that one is Of
vital interest and upon it may de-
pend in a great measure, the pros.
perity and happiness of our Parish,
yet there are certain duties to per-
form, regardless Of what the future
may develop in the policy OF the
usurper at Washington, toward
the South.
The cultivation of the soil the
preservation Of good order the
enforcement of the laws and the
cultivation OF friendly relations be-
tween all orders and classes of the
population, thereby preserving a
homogeneous interest among all
classes of our people: These thirg>
we can accomplish to certain ex-
text in any event, and they can be
PERFECTED if the peoples govern"
ment is sustained.
We believe the desire Of the peo-
pie of West Fcliciana. both white
and CO 'ored, is really that the
government of Gov. Nichols be
sustained !; we believe that these
elements can be cemented into one
great party to subscrve that end.
If the arts of peace be fostered
among Us, by a wise and concilia
tory policy. we confidently look
forward to a complete political
unifcation Of the races in our
Parish, evil counsels being remov-
ed, ia the march towards that end {.
At this moment then, regardless o:
apprehensions or speculations as to
what may be done at Washington,
we should prosecute this object
with immu,able perseverance.
One principle, however, should
be borne steadily in mind :; that
under no circumstances can We, or
will we, submit to the rule Of Mr..
Packard A military government.
with all its Objectionable features,
would be far preferable, and this,
or the COVE, nment of our own
choice, The people can obtain, if
they but use the means they have
in their hands, to accomplish it -
West F'eiiciana must do he: part
and we beIieYe she will nobly aquit
herself.
