The following compliment paid
our District Attorney, is taken from
the last issue of the Marksville Re-
view: Mr.. E.. G. Hunter our able and
energetic District Attorney is pres

should feel as if we were "done for"

FROM THE HuB.-There is perhaps
no tonic offered to the people that
possesses as much real intrinsic val
ue as the Hop Bltters. Just at this
season of the year, when the stomach
needs an appetizer, or the blood
needs purifying, the cheapest and
best remedy is Hop Bitters. An

ming last, with an additional labor
force for the road here.

we understand that the young
ladies and gentlemen of Cotile, pur-
pose giving dramatic performance
for the benefit of the Catholic church
at that place, now in course of erec-
ton. They have chosen Camille,
or the fate of Coquette," by Alexan-
der Dumas, as the play for this oc
casion. Two performances will be
given, one at Cotile, the other at the
Exchange Hall in Town. We rather
regard the play as being "too heavy"
for amateurs.
JEFF DAVIS BooK.--At the pres
emit time there is great excitement
over this work, which contains de-
tense of himself in and the right per
Sc of the rebellion. 1t will be valu-
able as an historical production,
more so than anything of the kind
yet promulgated, for the reason that
the author was in possession of the
data and far more capable of utiliz.
ing them than almost any other man
in United States. The purpose of
the book is not to disturb the issues
that are settled, but to convince the
world that the treatment of the gov.
eminent towards the South has not
been just or generous. There is no
doubt but that the book will be
largely circulated, as agencies are
being established everywhere.
THE LAUGH OF A CHILD.-Bob In
gersoll says: "The laugh Of a child
