In every feature but the hair, which had
grown white from fever. This lady at 81
writes us: 'I haye used Parker's Hair
Balsam six months and am more than
pleased with it. It has restored the natural
brown color Of my hair and given it silky
softness, nicer than ever before. There is
no dandruff, no falling hair, and it leaves
the scalp so clean and nice and cool that I
am ever SO much pleased, and feel and
look like myself again." Disinfectant pro-
perties that enter chemically into this pre-
paration render it healing, cleansing and
healthful, and the beautiful, fresh and Wig
orous hair it produces, together with its
property of restoring the hair to its natural
youthful color, leaving the head entirely
freed from dandruff, clean and healthy,
surprises no less than it pleases. Buy a

There is exhibited in one of the win
dows of Mr.. J. A. Moorc's drug store a
crayon likeness of one of the citizens of
Monroe, which has received the warm
commentator of all who have noticed
it. It is made with a pencil, from a
photograph by Mealy, and our young
friend, Smith Bennett, is the artist.
The likeness is half-lifc size, and be-
sides being work Of art, is of that
class of portraits which do not fade.
Mr.. Bennett makes these likenesses and
frames them at the very small price of
$500. We hope to hear that Mr..
Bennett will receive large number of
orders; for, besides the fact that he is
one of us, his work is really and truly
excellent.

New Benevolent Society.

A large number Of the Isrselites OF
this city met at Gerspach's Hall on the
18th, to organize a new benevolent
society called the Kesher Shell Barrel,
the main objects of which is to elevate
Judaism and to benefit charitable in
stitutions. Messrs. A. Leyens and S.
Brown, of Vicksburg, were.the Install
ing officers, representing District Grand
Lodge, No. 3, and both officers, we are
informed, performed their duties with
considerable eclat. The officers chosen
arc-H. Meyer, president, Sam Kuhn,
vice-president, Jonas Meyer, secretary,
Sig. Meyer, treasurer. The trustees
are S. Marx, Isaac Baer and G. "A.
Stein. The new association is similar
to the Jewish order B'nai Birth, but
not all antagonistic.

District Court.

Judge Parsons re-opened court, Mon
day, after the holiday recess, and has
been patiently engaged in the hearing
of civil cases. He has intimated a
willingness not to adjourn the term
sine die, until tomorrow week. Mr..
Green, Clerk of the Court, is greatly
expediting the business of the Court
and the taking of testimony, by taking
the language of the witnesses in short
hand notes, which are faithfully writ
ten out each night and ready for inspec-
ton next morning. Mr.. Green's
qualifications were undisputed before,
but this acquisition places him far
ahead of most clerks.

Read and Reflect.

Think how you suffer day after day with
chills and fevers; think of your misery,
and thcn think how quickly you can be
cured of chills and fevers by taking a few
doses of CUBAN Tonic, the great WEST IN
DIES FEVER and AGUE REMEDY. This is
the best medicine in the world for chills
and fevers it cures every time, and never
fails; it cures when quinine and physi-
clans prescriptions fail. It will quickly
cure chills and fevers, and gives health.
Thousands have been cured of chills and
fevers by using this medicine. Get q bot
tie from G. W. McFee, and try it. You
will bless the day you try it.

To the Public-It has been reported that
I was intoxicated Christmas during tho
services of the church. This is a malicious
Islander and a base talsehood, destitute OF
all truth, as had not one drop of alcoholic
spirits in me that day, except what was
contained in largo dose of paregoric
which had taken to allay the harrassing
irritation of my lungs, laboring under a
severe and distressing cold.

The vote for U. s. Senator in the
legislature has thus far amounted to
nothing. In the Democratic caucus no
choice has been made. Balloting for
the Senator, according to Art. AZ of the

Don't forget that you can get any
thing, such as powder, shot, caps,
wadding, shells, cartridges, powder
TASKS and horns, shot pouches, hunting
pockets, etc., at Rills' Bookstore, on
Grand street, for as little money as
you can buy them in New Orleans.
This is a fact of which you can soon
be convinced by obtaining prices.
