The other night us we were going
home we heard ravishing trains of mu-
sic in the direction of our domicil, and
hurried around thinking that Stuttzs
dramatic troupe had probably sur
prised tie town and was serenading its
citizens. When we reached the spot
the music and "the birds had hown,n
yet we are thankful to Providence we
have lived to learn that in the course
Of human events things have been so
remodeled and economical that by a
simple "twist of the wrist our amateur

happy and satisfactory results with an

Although there are many good bust
ness places along the line of the Nor
gan road we claim for our locality the
best businesses and shipping point on
the route. While we are surrounded
by the richest and mellowest lands in
the State as whole, we can now boast
that our town, on account of the good
roads leading into it, and its streets and
avenues most Of which have been tho
roughly worked, is easier of access than
any along the line. Although our far
mers have been busy for several weeks
picking cotton and we have seen very
few bales in the market, we find by ex-
aiming the books at the depot that
during this month we have shipped
nearly Il thousand bales, and that with
each day the quantity increases. There
has also been bought and shipped at
this depot, aside from other produce,
over three thousand sacks OF cotton
seed valued at 8 dollars per ton, and
an immense amount of moss old iron,
etc.

1t is common thing to hear of and

UNNATURAL OBsTRUCTIoNs.-Cer
fundamental laws Of nature are de-
manded by the human organism. AS
life requires constant and regular ac-
ton, there is necessarily a continual
wearing out of material and a cor
responding accumulation of effete mat
ter, which must be thrown off through
the different channels of the system.
This is absolutely necessary to health
full action of the human machine; but
should the channels of egress become
INSTRUCTED, or bloched up, disease and
suffering would be the legitimate re-
suit. Nearly all females, married or
sinlge, at stated times suffer from
these distractions, leading to headache,
loss Of color, prostra-
ton, emaciatlon, etc. There is one
remedy which will cure this condition

Bitters, the grand triumph as female

A CARD.

The undersigned citizens of st. Landry and
AyOyelles who were of the excursion, visiting
New Orleans on the 14th inst. cheerfully write
in stating that the pleasure of their stay i'll
the city was greatly enhanced from the fact
that they were the guests of Mr.. Joseph Faba-
cher, the genial proprietor OF Fabacher's Hotel
and Restaurant, No. IS Royal Street.
Mr.. Fabacher founded, and for some time re-
sided in the German Settlement, now known as
the Post Office of Fabacher,' Parish of st.
Landry. He is not only we'll acquainted with
the customs and wants of our people, but treats
with the kindest consideration his former
friends and acquaintance from st. Landry and
adjoining parishes. We therefore take special
pleasure in commencing his well conducted
establishment to the favorable patronage of
our fellow citizens visiting the Crescent City.
They will always find thereat all the comforts
Of an A No. hotel at very reasonable rates.

DR.. T. c. THOMPSON, of the firm
of Thompson, George & Co., wholesale
druggist, Galveston, Texas, says that to
his own personal knowledge ENGLISH
FEMALE B1TTERs is most wonderful
medicine for the cure of chronic female
complaints. He knew of case in Gal
weston, considered almost hopeless,
which resisted all medical aid from the
profession. She was induced to try the
Bitters and commenced improving at
once, and was finally entirely cured by
their use. Similar cases are recorded
all over the country and no female
afflicted with any disease peculiar to
her sex, should fail to use them. As a
uterine tonic and female regulator it
has no equal, for married and single.

Notwithstang the great changes that
have taken place in the South since the

days since, l saw gentleman walk

We see no reason why w. A. Rob-

up still, even if the members should

Business is dull and the clerks of the
different establishments may he seen

When physicians have made use of
a prescription for years in their private

As we have seen and tasted fine spe
clmens OF sweet oranges grown this
year within the corporate limits, we see
no reason why this fruit should not be
more extensively grown here. 9th

cessfully grown by some few of the
more enterprising class of our citizens,
