'Forbearance has ceased to be vir-
tue" with almost every one, and the
blamed weather is the cause. Rain, rain,
rain! Who will do the swearing We're
too full for utterance.
J. r. Flores, q Mexican in the employ
of two Texas drovers, was shot Tuesday
night On the Perkins plantation, near
this place. Circumstances combined to
point out Jake Shields as the guilty par.
ty, asd he was arrested and confined in
jail. We have been unable to learn the
particulars.
Michael Chambers, the amiable Sta
toner, Bookseller and News Dealer,
never tires in doing favors to the news
paper men. We are indebted to him for
many copies of interesting papers To
the general public he is very much the
same, and we know of no one more de-
serving ofpatronage.
We had almost determined not to
speak about the weather, whose normal
state has been generally bad and fire.
quently worse, for nearly ninety consec-
tive days. Itwas verse on Tuesday and
at the present writing it isn't quite so
bad. The planters, however, have man
aged to pull through with crops very
much below their expectations.
Mr.. T. Sambola Jonss, ofthe Advocate,
is on fly to East Feliciana, and Messrs.
Fl. Skolfeld, John D. Fisher and Capt.
Jastremski, are on o business venture in
Crescent City. Jones will be under the
moral influence of parents, while the
Others will find protection in the good
example of Brother Skolfeld. So the
public need have no apprehnsions con-
i Jrning disasters or anything of that
tort.
Mr.. r. ii. Burke, the contractor OF
the woodwork on the State House has
completed the job, which is pronounced
by all coanaissews to be frst-class in
point OF the staunchness Of the timber
and solidity of adjustment. The brick
work on the building would be nearly
finished ere this, had not the weather
retarded the workmen who, for days
and days, were unable to proceed.
A HORRIBLE Observation-Disclosures show
! that every moment mortal dies. Most
OF these deaths are nothing more than a
horrible murder, perpetrated by some
doctor with his professional "poison."

In another column will be found the
advertisement ofDr. d. L. McKitrick, ar
old resident dental surgeon of this city
who afteRseyeral years absence, returns
to renew his business relations with ouI
people. He Is very skillful dentist, az
hundreds who have tested his workman
ship, will attest; therefore tits useless fol
us to say more than that he is again 10,
Gated among US, ready to execute fine
work for old and new patrons. s.e-
Tramps are again on the rampage ii
this city; that IS, II we are to Judge
from the many complaints made by om
people. 1t is pity we hayn't chair
gang for their benefit, or law some
thing like the one now in force in Mis-
sissippi. In its absence, however, the
police should be on the watch for them
as they do not hesitate to insult de
fenceless women and children; and W,
hereby call attention to the fact tha
they are around in goodly numbers.
Another good old man-Mr. NJ. Gilda,
passed away to his final resting place
yesterday evening He was an ex-Fed
eral soldier, and though poor and Gov
eminent pensioner, will long be remem
bered by many people of this city, as
man of the strietest integrity and
faithful friend. In sacred compliane,
with the pledges of his life, so often re-
peated to friends, "He died SOBER" ant
spent his last breath in the peaceful con
seriousness of having done his duty.
