Houma Courier: On last Wednes-
day night, an alteration took place
at the Rancho plantation, about Z
miles below Houma, on Little Gallon
between Monroe Marshall and Wash
Williams, which resulted in the death
of the latter. We interviewed Mon
roe who came up and surrendered
himself to the Sheriff. He states that
he was the driver on the plantation,
and as such, he ordered Wash to at
tend to his duty, and not allow others
to put three turns Of cane on the car
rier to his one, whereupon Wash told
him he would work as he pleased,
and that he had discharged his part.
ner, and he did not care a d.
whether he suited him or not, ard he
wanted bis money. Monroe told him
he would get his money at the end Of
rolling, and that he had better leave
the cane-shed. He dared Monroe
from under the cane-shed. Monroe
told him he had no business outside
at that time. Wash told him he
would kill him or have his money be-
fore he left. Monroe went to Mr.. Ay-
cock and told him what had taken
place, Mr.. Aycock told Wash to leave.
Wash still said he would kill Monroe,
or have his money. Wash waited
until Monroe's duty called him from
under the shed, and started towards
Monroe, saying that he would kill
Monroe, or he would have him to kill.
Monroe told him not to come on him.
Wash still advanced, with his hand
in his pocket, threatening to kill or be
killed, when Monroe fred the fatal
shot. Thus ended the life of one of
Terrebonne's "bullies." Let others
take warning.

IMPURE BREATH.

Among all the disagreeable consequences
that follow the decay of the teeth, an i'm
pure breath must be the most mortifying
and unpleasant to its possessor, and it is
the mostinexcusiblea and offensive in societ7 :;
and yet the cause of it may easily be re
moved by cleansing your teeth daily with
that justly popular dentrifrice, Fragrant
SOZODONT. It purifes and sweetens the
breath, cools and refreshes the mouth, and
gives pearl-like appearance to the teeth.
Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as
it removes all unpleasant odors of the weed.
Ask your druggist for it.
