tions to erect !, building on the site of
the old Railroad hotel, GOx1l5 feet,

ALLOW a onc-story building to be erected
upon such desirable property.

Good Results

Are always pleasant to contemplate, as
every dyspeptic sufferer who uses Parker's
Ginger Tonic will attest. To obtain from
this remedy the most gratifying relief when
distressed with headache, low spirits, ner-
vousness, wakefulness, palpitation Of the
heart, liver disorders, costiveness, pain in
the stomach, heartburn, cramps, etc, is n
pleasant experience that surprises no less
than it comforts. Another remark able fea-
ture of this remedy Is its powerful specific
action on the skin and mucous surfaces of
tho throat and lungs by which it unfail-
ingly cures the VIC rst cases OF cough, cold
and sore. throat. It cures In wonderfully

Board of Trade.

The Board of Trade has increased its
membership to q members. At the
permanent organization Wednesday,
Mr.. J. Hoffman was elected president,
d. NJ. Sholars vicc-president, and j.
l.. Kaliski secretary. The Board is
now thoroughly organized for work,
and will, we believe, zealously carry
out the object Of its organization, to-
wit: the advancement of the CONNER
cial interests of Monroe. The TELE-
GRAPH will chccrfully aid so laudable
a purpose. We only ask that the Board
will not let its worthy undertaking fail
from lack OF zeal on the part Of its
members.

Tho Election.

There being no contest for delegates
i'll this parish, only about onc-thirtl OF
the registered vote OF the parish was
polled on Tuesday. In this city the
day might have been regarded by a
stranger as II day Of fasting and prayer.
Nearly all the business houses were
closed and but few people were in
town from tho country. Grand and
DcSinrd streets looked lonely, while
around tho polls, ut no time, did the
wontcd throng of expectant suffragans
number more than a dozen. Those
who voted did so mainly from sense
of duty, AS there was no opposing
ticket, and to elect that presented five
votes would have been sufficient.
1t will be seen from the result OF the
vote that the proposition to build a
new court house has been rather
|scornfuiiy rejected. This was not un-
expected from a people who are already
heavily taxed, but at the proper time
we have no doubt the people of the
parish will do themselves the credit
and the justice of replacing the present
unsightly court house with ono which
will be an ornament to the parish and
properly represent its Importance and
worth.

A Caught Coon.

a veritable wild raccoon, pirouetting
around few nights ago, found himself
in the heart of the city. Not being
furnished with pocket map, he be-
came bewildered in the labyrinth of
streets, and hence could not find his
way out. 1t was but natural that he
should climb tree, being in doubt,
and he &C clomb" a small water oak on
Oak street. Thence he was dislodged,
only to find lodgment in the Jail. Out
Of Jail ho broke, crossed the street and
" cooncd =" it up one of the elms in the
Courthouse square. The boys would
not let the old coon rest. He was in
tervicwed by jim Vanderbcrg ut the
end of II small pole, and made to jump
out. He hit the ground suddenly, and
just as suddenly darkey grabbed the
coon, picked him up and carried him
| off in triumph-a feat ten hounds could
not have satisfactorily accomplished.

A wATER.TURKEY,

A correspondent OF Forest and Stream,
hunting on the Indian River, Florida,
thus describes the snske-bird, water
turkey:
On the left are Islands innum merable,
with toriuous channels between them,
and woe betide the unlucky boatman
who gets lost in the labyrinth of their
intricate windings. The islands are
green to the waters edge with man-grove
bushes, and the scene is eniivened by the
numerous waterfowl. egrets. herons,
pelicans, gallinuleS, water-turkeys, cor
morants and fsh-crows, feeding near the
I,laBds, and the gulIs, terms vultur 9,
ospreys and man-o'.war hawks, swoop-
ing. skimmiDg and sailing in the air
above.
Look ,sllat queer snake!" suddenly
exclaimed Frank. as he seized his gun.
We saw snake apparently wiggling
out Of the water several feet in the air
near one of the islands AS Frank fired,
part of the snake dropped into the water,
while the other part took wings and few
away.
Ibid the snake drop the bird, or the
bird drop the snake?" asked Frank.
yes, that was about the way OF it. :"
observed Ed.
The explanation was quite simple. A
snake-bird, or water-turkey (Plotus
anhinga), swimming with his neck only
out of water, had the snake in his bill.
which he dropped aud flew away when
Frank fred his gun.
