The late lamented Genl John Bell
Hood was born in Kentucky. He
identified himself before the war with
Texas, by his many valiant deeds as an
Indian fighter, and he was severely
wounded in hand to hand engage
ment. At the outbreak of tbs late war
he went into the Confederate States
Army as a leader of the celebrated
Texas Brigade, and died as business
man in New Orleans. His book just
published called advance and Retreat,
Personal Experiences in the United
States and Confederate States Armies"
has about it the brilliancy of a romance,
while every line bears the imprint Of
truthful history. The accounts OF the
inner life Of the Confederacy towards
its dissolution are very readable. The
is in an other column.

Gov. HENDRICKS ON FAITH-In the
course of an address delivered before
the Young Mems Church Guild in
indianapolis, OH the fifth instant, Gov.
Hendricks is reported as having said
Il know that the qualities that belong
to men are not the result of growth, but
they are impressed with Divine power.
So | choose to believe that doctrine,
and not to believe the new notions, and
the reason | believe thing is because
it is so revealed. And | think may
say that when we have to exercise faith
we have got to trust to something. And
what do you choose to trust to In this
land, where faith alone helps us, faith
becomes the evidence of things not seen,
upon what do you choose to lean? Did
you ever stop to consider the remarkable
force Of that expression, "the evidence
of things not seen ?" What is the
evidence Of things not seen? 1t is
that authority, addressed to our judge
ments, that we must recognize and obey.
1t is revelation. | choose to adopt the
opinion and faith that there is One above
us all, who made this world by His
power, who impressed upon the world
and all the creatures of it the qualities
of supreme wisdom, and that BY Him
and through Him all things exist, and
without Him nothing exists at all,n

We call attention to the advertisement
Of Mr.. Theodore Chachere's new store.
He is at his old stand on the corner near
the Courthouse. Notwithstanding the
general advance in prices, he sells re-
markably cheap. In fact new stores
always sell cheap; and when the pro-
prietor has the enterprise to advertise
and let it be known that he has opened
a new store, there is generally a rush
for the cheap goods. Now is the time
to buy, while the cheap goods are going
at this new store.

Mr.. E. Hill, barkeeper of the Red
River steamboat Ashland, recently
committed suicide by cutting his throat
from ear to ear with q razor. The
Shreveport Times says "the only cause
to which his suicide is assigned, is
insanity upon the subject of spiritualism.
1t was hts hobby, his constant theme.
He seemed to think Of nothing else and
cared to talk Of nothing else."

How to predict the weather: Take a
sausage and put it down a rat hole. If
it comes out on Candlemas Day and
walks round, it is sign of pleasant

goes in again, it will be bad weather

but grounding, you know.-[Philadel-
