THE Hop

The party last evening at Armory Hall
under the auspices of the Tri City club
proved to be a very enjoyable affair. The
attendance was not so large as to render
dancing inconvenient but still was suf-
ficiently numerous to admit of delight
full evening. The guests included delega-
tons from Davenport, Moline and this
city. Music was furnished by Biehls
quintette. The dancing was continued
until an early hour this morning.

HOME PROOF.
DoNAHUE, SCoTT Co, Ia, Dec. 81, 10.
l wish to gratefully acknowledge the
benefit | have received from the use of
Mrs. DR.. Keck's remedies. While in at
tendance upon our annual conference held
at Davenport, September Gath, 1879, be-
came the guest of 8Ir. and Mrs Kecks.
Being at the time great sufferer from Ca
tarrh and Dyspepsia, and believing it to be
in answer to my prayer that God would
direct me to some means for the restora-
ton of health, | at once began treatment.
One weeks treatment at her house satisfied
me that her remedies were such as recon-
mended to be. When l began treatment
could scarcely eat anything without ex-
periencing the greatest distress after it.
Now | can eat of nearly all kinds of food
without bad results At first there was
continued dropping from the head into the
wind pipe and lungs, so filling them as to
cause difficult breathing. This has all
passed away. The severe pain at my
heart has ceased, and feel that l am in a
fair way to recover; knowing that time
and patience are required to remove the
disease that has been standing for years,
l am "by the good results already attain
ed" encouraged to go on with the treat
ment trusting that under God it will prove
efficient in the full restoration of health.
To all who visit the infirmary for treat
ment [ can testify that they will be kindly
received and well cared for

Provisions of all kinds are de-
clining in prices. Cotton bounded
up quarter of a cent Or more this
week. 1t is the opinion Of retail
dealers now that the late high
prices of provisions were forced by
Chicago corner men, who pur-
chased and locked up all OF the
grain and meat they could obtain
ana then sprang the prices. AS
soon as they unlocked their i'm
mense depots prices fell to their
natural values, which are always
graded according to the laws OF
supply and demand, It may be
that our provision bills will not be
so great for the next ten months as
we feared, and the seuffie for an
other years subsistence may not be
such bug-bea, as we had right
| to expect a few days ago. We
earnestly hope not.

Last Sunday was one of those
wet days that remind us OF the
times of Noah. From the peep Of
dawn till high noon torrents of
rain fell, and every sewer. and
ditch, and gutter in town were
pressed into service ai1 LED the
waters conid net. get - As fasl
az they fell. 1t WAS q ses~h-:2oving
rain-it vas a we1y yet rein. 1t
was rain that picked p the beau
tifui Dust and converted ii into
great gohs Of mud. It was rain
that beat the tuGafNl mosquito 1910
the earth and flleu Ills eyes and
nose and mouth full of slop, ana
slime, and filth, and left him to
bewail the calamity that befell him
"forever and forever" If one
half the water that fell in Bastrop
last Sunday had been sprinkled
over this parish last July, there
would not be such an army of Woe
begone merchants and planters in
Morehouse now. But the water
didn't fall then and we do not pro-
pose to dwell now on what mIgat
have been. We take rain now
whenever it comes, provided there
no shelter near by. That's what
we do =!

The recent heavy rains increased
the volume of water in the Barthol-

navigation to Point Pleasant now
would result benefcially to the peo-
pie of our parish. Shipping goods
over the Vicksburg railroad and
them hauling them from Monroe to
Bastrop are heavy burdens on the
peoples pockets, and we shall be
glad when bayou shall relieve
them of these enormous expenses.
