Col Burch spoke to a large audience
in Trenton last Monday, and was lis
tened to with marked attention. His
speech was able and statesmanlike,
and made many friends for his plan.
Nearly all who hear him agree that
his plan is the best yet presented for
settling the vexed question of what to
do with the state debt.
From the Trenton Mirror.
Died, on the morning of the 18th
inst. in this place, Mike Martin.
A well has been bored and an am

The Ladies

all claim to feel comfortable about
our store; they say that everything is
quiet, and that 4 reasonable amount
of energy is always displayed to show
them goods. We thank them for so
expressing themselves; we make great
preparations for our lady friends; We
try to keep such goods as they need;
we have always been taught that nice
ladies were only excelled by the nm
gels, and we are getting most to old
to learn anything else if We would; so
for your frequent calls and kindly ex-
pressions, we thank you, ladies, We
thank you.

n@r It will be seen By the ordi.
nance passed by the Police Jury
of this parish, that Butchers and
Bakers are compelled to close
their establishments on Sunday
We are under the impression they
made q very big mistake in no!
excluding them while passing the
law. The people here need bread
on Sunday as we'll as on other
days of the week. ~And if the
butcher does not open his stall on
Sunday, is it to be supposed that
our citizens must go hungry on
that day 1t is we'll known that
fresh meat will not keep sound
and pure from one day to another
in this warm climate. We call
upon our Police Jury to remodel
the law and let US have something
to eat On Sunday. t-.a. g.
