We understand that the citizens of
our sister town of Washington are to
have a grand procession on next Tues
day, Mardi-Gras. If we are to judge
of the future by the past, we can I'M
hesitatingly recommend the coming
event as one worth seeing. Their first
attempt, last year. was by no means a
small affair, and, as this is to be an i'm
provement upon the fol mer, we advise
those Of our friends who can not get
away to New Orleans to go to Washing
ton, and enjoy the carnival upon
smaller, but by far, less expensive scale.
Whilst Opelousas is, by far, ahead OF
any other country town in the State in
a great many things, yet we feel that
there is much room for improvement.
Just now it strikes us that there is no
reason why we should not at this Pc
Rod every year, have a carnival OF our
own instead of rushing down to New
Orleans and spending great deal OF
money. Why not stay at home and
provoke mirtb of our own, and for the
benefit of the community 1t would be
much less expensive, and might In the
course of few years become an at
traction of which we might justly feel
proud. Let us hencefortli give the
matter trial,

County Papers.


The following is what the Cincinnati
Trade List thinks of those characters
who are all the time complaining OF
their county papers, and instead OF
helping to support them, send on for a
large paper, and thus help to support
them:
"a gentleman writes to us that his
county paper is 80 poor that he has
stopped it, therefore seuds us So for the
Trade List. We repeat that we do not
want subscribers on these terms. A
mans county paper is worth the price
asked for it, if it is not, it is his fault.
1t the county paper is properly encour
aged, it may be relied upon for infor
nation Of more value to the people in
whose interest it is issued than can be
found i'll all'the city papers in the Uni
ted States. No man can do without the
paper that publishes the official adver~
tisements of his county, the court news,
and other intelligence. If the paper is
poor, the people are more at fault than
the publisher for not giving it a liberal
patronage. However poor the county
paper may be, it is always worth more
than it costs to those interested in the
affairs of the county"

fax Co., New Mexico, says If my wife

A few winters in succession like the
present one has been, would make cat
tie raising in this country, except where
they are fed, loosing business. The
prairies are dotted with dead carcasses,
ia the fields the bitches are often COM
pletely stopped up with them. Buzzards,
carbon crows, cur dogs, hogs, and
other consumers Of carbon, have not
been equal to the emergency, and many
carcasses are never touched; but the
continuous cold weather prevented the
whole country from being peryaded
with stencil.

The assessor of this parish is now as
sessing property, and all persons should
go forward and give in their assess :
ments, to save both themselves and the
assessor unnecessary trouble. By at
tending to the matter personally, mis-
takes and erroneous assessments will be
avoided. If the assessor is compelled
to assess the property without the as
sistance Of the owner, the latter may
suffer by his neglect, and may not be
able to remedy the matter hereafter. A
word to the wise is sufficient.

We call the attention of road over
seers to the notice of the road inspector.
Judge Martel, who has charge of the
road just east of town. went to work
as soon as the weather permitted, and
his section of road is now probably in
first rate condition but the road in the
lanes west of town, over which the
most produce comes to town, and which
was the worst road to be found about
here during the whole winter, has not
been touched. The filling of a few
holes would have made this road good.

Whether the day of miracles has passed or

cheerful heart doeth good like medicine,
and hope is the best tonic. There is now a
lady in Monmouth, Mrs. Pummer. who
for wears was great sufferer and almost lost
the use of her limbs. At one time for eleven
months and at another time for ten months,
she was unable to be moved from her bed
without fainting or going into commissions.
Her case WIS regarded as hopeless BY six phv-
sicans who met in consultation. About this
time she became imbued with the idea that
il she had sufficient faith in God, he would
heal her infirmties. She prayed for this,
and had faith that her prayers would De
answered. On the morning that she was
healed, her physician called to see her. She
desired to be healed in his presence. AT that
time she did not have the use of her lower
limbs and could not straghten them. She
told the physician that she thought she had
faith sufficient to be healed, and wished to
put on her clothes. She then got out of bed
and walked across the room and sat down In
achair. When she returned to the bed she
took ten steps. She now enjoys good health.
Her case is remarkable one and when her
intense sufferings and critical condition Is
considered. her cure is more than wonderful.
She claims that it was miracle and that the
day of miracles is not passed, and can say

court with TIE two porcelain lined iron
kettles partially filled with some kind
of Intoxicating liquor and the
paraphernalia for dumping them into

and the kettles caught and wedged into the
