Oh,nyBack!

That's a mmoncxpres-
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it IS, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BIrTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.
VIM. P. Marshall, of Logans-
port, Indiana, writes: "My wife
has for many years been trou.
bled from pain in her back
and general debility inciden.
TO her sex. She has taken one
bottle Of Browns Iron Bitters,
and can truthfully say that
she has been so much benefited
that she pronounces it the
only remedy Of many medi-
cines she has tried"
Leading physicians and
clergymen use and recon-
mend Browns IRON BIT
TIERS. 1t has cured others
suffering as you are, and it
will cure you.

The great cyclone which struck
the towns of Beauregard and Yves
son, Miss, was very destructive tc
lie and property. Ii less than one
minutes time those two quiet and
peaceful towns were transformed
INTO scenes of the widest confusion,
Houses were demolished and their
inmates killed or wounded. The
storm extended throughout por-
lions OF Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia, visiting in its course some
7twettt;tts -tr..5.. > al withIoss of life.
The number of killed, as far as
known, is over 200, and about 500
wounded. The scenes were har-
rowing beyond description. The
following is one instance:
A large party took shelter in Mr..
j. N. Crawford's house, and all we're
killed us follows: j. n. Crawford
and wife, Celia A. Crawford, Jennie
Crawford, Mrs. Julia Real and
baby, Mr.. Frank Moore and wife.
Willie Real was blown three-ouar-
tiers Of mile. He was found YES
terday; his head, legs and arms
were severed fron. his body and
have not been recovered.
Mrs. Crawford was carried 300
yards from the house and blown 80
feet III the cir; she was hurled against
a tree, the top OF which had been
twisted tfaO feet from the ground.
The white splinters were redeemed
with her blood, and the top, which
fell and was split, was spattered
with brains and blood.
The above is but ore case out of
hundreds equally as deplorable.
Many persons were blown away
and their bodies found in the
woods. Children were blown from
their mothers arms, never to be
seen again. Crushed and mangled
bodies are still being found beneath
fallen buildings. Most of this
havoc was accomplished within the
space OF three seconds. \ ruthless
and savage invading army, with all |
the modern appliances of warfare, |
could not possibly have caused so |
much destruction and suffering in |
such a short time.
Relief committees have been |
formed, and tue people OF all Sec
tons are responding, with charac-
teritic generosity, to tie appeals
OF ne S3au,aicd, sick and homeless.

The Immigration Convention.
Baton Rouge Capitolian-Advocate


We deprecated the early opening of
the campaign, because there was an en-
terprise, dear to our hearts, to which
we were trying to cali public attention,
viz: An immigration convention for
the purpose of devising ways and
means of diyerting some of the rich
streams of migration on to the fertile
lands of Louisiana. But all our efforts
in this direction were futile, and it may
be now that in the din of acrimonious
discussion it will be impossible to at
tract public notice to matters which
concern the public interests much more
than whether Jones or Smith is sheriff,
or Thompson shall be sent to the legis-
lature. But, at the same time, the sta
pie of discussion is very short this year.
People get tired of hearing tune play
ed on one string, though the performer
is master of melody, and though he
charm never so wisely. We have some
hopes, therefore, that in the confusion
ofsounds we may interject a sober word
of counsel regarding the urgent de-
mands of the business situation.
For this subject of immigration should
not be adjourned while we are debating
these political subjects. There is vast
amount of preparatory work to be done,
so that when the great Cotton Exposi-
tion GENES off we may reap. an abun-
dant harvest. Every parish ought to
be organized, and organized this fall.
New railroads are offering us the means
of<ameliorating eur condition immeas-
urably. They give us the chance to in
augurate boom in every parish in the
State. It is the very excess of felly for
us to neglect this great opportunity.
Values have been doubled and quadru-
pied in Texas and Arkansas by adopting
the policy we advocate. Those States
are throbbing with new life. They have
forgotten the old dull ways that prevail
in the most parts of Louisiana to-day,
and every business man is alert and
buoyant. We have more abundant re-
sources than any State of equal area in
the South. Our timber is worth more
than all the gold of the wild West as a
commercial product. Our rich lands
are teeming with wealth. "America,"
says Emerson, +" is Gods charity to the
poor" Louisiana has never been
sought by the poor of foreign lands, be-
cause we have never appreciated the
vast advantages to us and our children
in filling the role designed for us by the
creator, of offering an asylum to the
brawny liberty loving immigrants who
are crowding to our shores and are en-
riching other States, which do not have
the tenth part of our natural advan-
tages.
To neglect this great duty in the mad
delirium of politics is infatuation. Let
us attend to our material interests at
the same time that we give attention to
the political duties devolving upon us.
