CONFEDERATE FLAG The
Shreveport (La.) Times says "Du
ring our civil war the several Sc
coded States used their State
flags. Tn March, 1861, the Confe
derate Congress adopted the SO.
called 'star and barr composed of
three horizontal bars Of equal
width, the middle one white. with
a blue union cohtainingnine white
stars arranged in a circle. The
resemblance OF this to the stars
and stripes led to confusion and
mistakes in the field !; and in Sep
TENDER, 1861, a battle flag was
adopted, a red field charged with
a blue saltier, with a narrow Dor
der of white, on which we're dis
played thirteen white stars. In
1868 the sstars and bars were sup
planted by a flag with a white
field, having the battle flag for a
union. The flag of 1868 was found
deficient in service, it being liable
to be taken for a flag of truce 4;
and on February 4, 1865, the
outer half of the field beyond the
union was covered with a verti.
Cal red bar. This was the last flag
of the Confederacy.'

in 1915 to put a stop to such
transactions, to confine the bust
ness of the Tax Collector to the
collections Of taxes and transfer
ing the same to the Parish Trea-
surer. whose duties where defined
by law as to the proper and just

that the Collector would not obey

began to pay in monthly his COL

drawing eye teeth to him.

Recorering.-We are glad to
learn that young Mr.. Gourdain,
the SOL of the late Capt. ]. X.
Gourdain, of New Orleans, who
was recently severely wounded
in the left lung by a Smith &
Wesson pistol ball fired by yonng
Mr.. Guardemal, of St. Martins
vile, at a ball in Fausse Pointe,
is pronounced out of danger bv
his physician. The difficulty be-
gan in the ballroom, aud as we
learn, as follows Guardemal was
making a noise, to which Gour-
dain demonstrated. The former
used insulting words, when Gour-
dain struck him. They were sep>
Grated left the house when Gour
dain sent word to Guardemal that
if he wanted satisfaction he could
call upon him the next day and
obtain it. To this Guardemal
used other insulting words, when
Gourdain again struck him. a
young man named TertrOu then
pushed Gonrdaln down, and as
he was rising Guardemal drew
his pistol and commenced firing.
The first ball struck GOurdain,
but the five others fired missed
their aim Meantime, Gourdain
had drawn his pistol, wounded
as he was, and blindly fired FIVE
shots when he fell back fainting,
These shooting scrapes at balls
are entirely too common, and we
hope that our authorities will
take immediate steps to execute
the law against carrying conceal
ed weapons. We haze laws now,
and a government to see them
executed, and that is sufficient
protection. 1t is a barbarons cus>

be as bad as that of Mexico to
require that. Shame! sllame!-

From all indications, the
crop of Sugar will probably be
equal to that of 1876. Had there
been more rains the yield would
have been better. The small oman
tity of rain that has fallen in this
Parish in 1877, is most remarka-
bile. The usual July rains causes
a rain fall far more than this
whole year has given.
Rice growers are having an
excellent season for cutting their
crcp, one of the best that has
been had for years.

since it stimulates the gastric juices, con-

processes, promotes assimilation of the food
