THE REQUIEM.

Good morning, Mr.. Coon,
Shall I feed you with spoon,
Yonr stomach seems rather weak,
As you can hardly speak;
Please try some Of my porridge,
With one Of the Majors potater
1t will cure you instanter.
We congratulate our people on the
result of Monday. We always knew
that Old Rapides, true to it's traditions
would never swerve from the path
always followed by genuine Demo
Gratis.
The Democracy still lives! Anc
will live on to see Democratic Pres
ident at the next general election.
Onward, then! For the big guns
Of the Presidential campaign are about
to open, and every Democrat is ex
pected to do his duty.
The Democracy need fear any dis
sensions, for the lines are we'll drawn
Those not with us are against u.s.
There can be but one party as op.
posed to Republication, and that is
the grand old Democratic party. Its
ranks are the multitudes, and its prin,
ciples are, everything for the people
1t asks no favors and panders to nc
man. Thrones, governments and trea.
sures may be torn asunder and des.
troyed - but the Democracy neve,
dies.
1t is now left for the Convention a,
Baton Rouge to complete the work
as laid out by the several Parishes
of the State.
Our choice was and is McENERY
We have battled for him as truly al
our convictions were sincere, and We
still wish his nomination by the Con.
vention. However, we have enough
confidence in the delegates sent by
the several Parishes to feel sure thai
their choice, whoever he may be, will
be for the best interests of the State
and its people. We are all Demo
drafts, therefore when the dong rolf
beats ITO arms"
All Locafocos, large and small,
| Will be there to answer roll-call
And with glasses in their hands,
Drink to M'Enery or the other man
Goodbye, dear Major, altho' tn,
shock is severe, we hope you'll recov
or and remain forever the scribe of tn,

Bye! Bye!

RUIN WROUGHT IN THE FOREST

RUIN WROUGHT IN THE FOREST
How depressing it is to see acres of
trees cut down in the midst of noble
forest. How saddening it is also to
see that thin spot in the midst of your
otherwise abundant hair. Stop it at
once by the use of Parkers Hair Bal
sam. For actual efficiency this famous
article stands at the head of its class.
Elegant for the toilet, delicious in odor
and restores the original color to gray
or faded hair. Economical, as a slight
and occasional application keeps the
hair and scalp in the most perfect
order.

Shall we Sustain or Denounce tho Ad'
ministration1

That is the question for the people
in the Parishes that have not yet elect
ed delegates to the Democratic State
Convention to consider. Are they 60
ing to lend themselves, their votes,
and their votes, and their influence to
strike down and disgrace Democratic
Governor.
A more unjust and malignant war
has never been made on a public man.
1t has been from the beginning, one of
oalumny. Day after day, and week
after week, the stream of pollution has
continued to flow in an uninterrupted
stream. The issue has now passed
from the selfish scheming politicians,
headed and controlled by the New Or
leans Picayune-Pitzpatrick ring to the
people. Their voice is now to be
heard.
What will they do' Will they SAN
ton and endorse this great wrong, or
rise in their majesty and strength and
rebuke the instigators and ringleaders
Of this conspiracya Every man that
believes as we do, that this firebrand
introduced into this campaign is unjus-
tifable and an attempt to demoralize
and destroy the Democratic party by
sowing dissensions in its ranks-that
believes as we do that, McEnery is an
honest man, and that the charges pre-
ferred against him are unfounded and
false, ought to say SO by his vote.
All these charges have been taken
up sERrArIM, fairly stated, and fully
answered. Andwherever this has been
done, McEnery has received his heav-
lest votes and largest majorities.
Maligned as he has been, prosecuted
as no man was ever prosecuted before,
his cause is that Of the people. 1t is
for the true and tried Democracy of
Louisiana to condemn or sustain him.
There is no middle ground. He is
either all that his enemies have repre-
scented him, or he is the same incor-
ruptible, patriotic, honest man-whose
heart and mind, with all their vibra-
tons and noble thoughts have never
been unselfshly devoted to that State
now, as in the past, when the people
honored him with their confidence.
The opposition have appealed to the
ignorance and blind passions ofmen-
have discarded reason, and on bare
Prescriptions, unsupported by proof,
condemned and endeavored to disgrace
him.
Let the people-the honest, true, pa
triotic people of Louisiana say wheth.
or this shall be done; whether trick
cry and demogogueism shall exault.

The Mysterious ASsailant.

William Patterson " as very W ealthy
tradesman of Balti ore. In the early
days of this part of Georgia he bought
up great many tracts of land in
Franklin County, and spent a good por-
ton of his time in looking after his in
terests there. He was said to be as
strong as bear, and as brave as lion,
but, like all brave men, he was lover
of peace, and indeed a good pious man.
Nevertheless, his wrath could be ex-
cited to a fighting pitch On one o.
casion he attended public gathering
in the lower art of Franklin County,
at some district court ground. During
the day two opposing DULLES and their
friends raised row and a general fight
was the consequence. At the begin
ming of the airay, and before the fight
ing began, Billy Patterson ran in the
crowd to persuade them not to fight,
but to make pc ce and be friends. Tut
his efforts for peace were unavailing,
and, while making them, some of the
crowd in the general melee truck lily
Patterson severe blow from behind.
Billy at once became lighting mad, and
cried out at the top of his voice: WHO
struck Billy Patterson2'
No one could or would tell him who
was the guilty party. He then pro-
posed to give any man 500 who would
tell him ''who struck Billy Patterson. :"
From 800 he ros9 to $1,000, but not
$1,000 would induce any man to tell
him ''who struck Billy Patterson.
Years afterward in his will he related
the above facts and bequeathed 81, 900
to be paid by his executors to The man
who would tell "who struck Billy Pat
terson." His will is recorded in the
Ordinary Office at Gainesville, and any
one curious about the matter can there
find it and verify the preceding state
ment. - CGrneSU5Jle Goa. Reg lister.
