We were pleased indeed to see the smil-
ing face Of our warm friend, Mr. Simon
Stein, Of Fnrmerville, in town on Saturday
and Sunday last. Mr. St-in is of Jewish
birth, and no more worthy man ever cr,s--
ed the salt waters. He is successful m-r-

tied hospitality is known and shared BY his
many customers in Claiborne parish. This

not the last. Prosperity to you, Simon. and
may some Of the fair daughters Of Eve
smile upon you before you are many days
older.

IL you do not want TO subscribe for the
Democrat you had better not give Frank q

that his paper is a necessity. and to shun
him is hard, for Mr. Tompkins is live
