Why is it the 'deputy clerks" suffe
more with heat than the other clerks
This has got to he a serious question
with diminutive humanity.
Mr. John Miller, Southern agent of C
Conrad 81 Cos celebrated Budweise
Beer, was in onr sanctum yesterday
cheering us with his genial face ant
smiles.
Rev. DR.. Sawyer goes down on the
White this evening to attend the caml
meeting Of the Methodists at Biloxi
Miss. He will remain away for two
weeks.
We are requested to state that Capt.
tal Lodge, |. o. G. 7. meets every Sat
urday night, and members will be better
able to sustain the good work by q
prompt and regular attendance.
Mr. J. b. Nachman is making large
shipments Of cabbage to the Western
markets. The profit in this shipping is
only in the early spring crop, and
it behooyes oHr gardeners to make q
note Of its advantages.
We can still brag on the crops of East
and West Baton Rouge parishes. They
Ire presenting u very fine appearance,
especially the corn, which, it is thought
hy old farmers, will make a magnificent
goturn to the toiling yeonanry.
4 certain bigotcd darkcy exclaimed
20 another, who offered him nickel to
ilelp carry piece of timber about twen-
~ yards: "No, sar, | works for nobody
fur a nickelw This fellow ought to be
shipped to Kansas; we have too many
of that kind in the State
Mr.. H. b. Samuels, of the 4th Ward,
called on us last Saturday. The crops
IN his neighborhood are i'll splendid
condition, despite the fact that rain is
needed. He will please accept our thanks
for the kind invitation to attend the
picnic at the latter end of this month.
There was dish Of nice honey on the
table, around which sat a number of
guests, among whom was the gray
haired vetcran, and he asked a blushing
young lady, with dimpled checks
Won't you have some Of that, honey {"
Now this is what we call "gobbling up
swectnessw
REMEMBER Those who intend to
favor the Grand Entertainment at Pop
lar Grove with their presence should
remember that this evening, at 3 o'clock
sharp, the Ferry Boat will leave the
landing for that place. Tomorrow eve
ming the tug, with flats, will leave at
The same hour. 1t will he one of the
most delightful occasions Of the season.
We understand that n the second
ward there is u house inhabited by
twcnty-eight living souls. This would
indicate quite Il good sized house, but
such is not the ease by any means: on
the contrary, it contains only four
small rooms. Such mode of living is
dangerous to the health of q community,
and our health officers should invcsti-
gate the matter.
See i'll another column new announce
ments by Joshua Beal, the veteran re-
tail grocer. You can always rely upon
getting fresh articles from him. 1t is an
old saying, that eff Beal receives bad
article of any kind from his merchant,
he boxes it up and ships it back" This
IS the way he deals with his customers.
u" knowingly sells you nothing but
what he can recommend as good and
palatable. Keeping no liquors on hand
of any kind, he makes neat speciality
Of family groceries, as his handsome
stock strikingly attests.
