tions. IL Tangipshoa, the citizens
have formed COMMITTEES to assist
IN securing the right of way
through that parish. aud the repre-
sentatives Of the road were expect
ed to arrive at Ponchatoula this

from there to Covinyton. The Mid.
Louisians Road will certainly b.
built. aud the representatives are

An Elegant Affair.

The members of Royal Guild No.
13spread delightful oyster supper
last night in Pythian Hall, and it was
participated in by a number Of our
bellies and beaux, with liberal sprink.
ling of married ladies and gentlemen.
The table was handsomely decorated
with fruit, cake, nuts, ETC., and the
oysters were superb. The young gen.
tlemen of the guild evidently "mean
business" They will soon have been
members long enough to reap their
insurance by getting married, and
they are evidently quitting their
best foot foremost" in anticipation of
that happy event. 1t was pleasant
affair, and we hope to see it repeated
very soon. Mesdames Mccall, Davis
and lands superintended the table
preparations, and cfcoluSe everything
was arranged in the handsomest style.
This editor returns them especial
thanks for attention.

Will you heed the warning? The
signal, perhaps, of the sure approach
of that more terrible disease, con-
sumption. Ask yourselves if you can
afford, for the sake of so cents, to run
the risk and do nothing for it. We
know from experience that Shiloh's
Cure will cure your cough. 1t never
fails. This explains why more than
million bottles were sold last year. 1t
relieves Croup and Whooping Cough
at once. Mothers, do not be without
it. For Lame Back, Side or Chest,
use Shiloh's Porous plaster. Sold by

$4,000 Lost.

On last Tuesday, at the early morn
ing Memphis bound train at Hum
boldt, the Express agents clerk sign
ed for two money packages. one con
tanning three hundred dollars and
the other one thousand seven hundred
dollars. In hurry, he left the train
without the money, and did not dis.
cover it until he checked his way bills.
The messenger says he threw them off
after the clerk had left, while the train
was in motion. Who got the money
is now the agitating question. 1t
looks like careless piece of business,
to say the least of it.

A scoundrel fired two shots into
passenger train on the Northwestern

While laying rail on the L. & N.

TAs inventors of useful appliances
to cars our Milan people seem to be
successful. We clip the following
from the Macon (Mo.) Republican,
which gives an account of ventilator
invented by our former fellow-towns-

something which has long been need
ed, and We trust he will make for

Our esteemed citizen Mr.. John

Gently invented and received letters
patent therefor railroad car venti-
lator. The invention combines sever.
al important principles and for the ul-
innate purpose of intr oducing pure
air into passenger cars and thus avoid,
ing all dust, cinders, smoke, etc.
After a careful inspection of the draw
ings and specifications, we are Of the
belief that the invention will accom-
plish all that is claimed for it, and
will prove not only desirable and
much needed improvement, but a
very valuable one to Mr.. Shepherd.
BY the application Of this machine to
the train, pure air is taken from in
front of the engine and distributed
through all the cars, and at the same
time no draft is produced. We do
not see why the invention should not
be success in every respect, and
solve problem that has perplexed
railroad men for years, good ventila-
ton of cars without introducing dust,
smoke and cinders. Macon Republi,

a very great flaw in the measure. The

and third reading The most important
among them was 5. b. No. 20, which Is a
