A pleasant drive through the Bull

A pleasant drive through the Bull
skin neighborhood, last Wednesday,
led US to look upon itas the very gar
den spot of Jefferson county-itself
the richest in the State. at the Head
Spring Mill we found our old friend,
MIR. S. II. Feagans, busy at his desk,
but with genial countenance and
ready to serve all callers with flour
inferior to none made in the county.
Lower down, at the Jefferson Wooden
Mill, formerly Porter's Factory, the
spindles and looms were in full play
and everything in perfect business
action, with Mr.. Jno. j. Jobe, the en-
crgctic and efficient head of the firm,
experimenting. Much new machin-
cry has been added to the establish
ment, with more in contemplation,
and the entire factory force is now
busiIy engaged in filling large con-
tracts recently undertaken. Further
on we passed the Bullskin Mill of Mr.,
1. N. Rcnner, and found the propri-
etor and son, both clever gentlemen,
as busy as bees, and their mill work
ing to its full capacity. Just below
and within a stones throw is Beulah
Church, neat and comfortable ed
ifice, where the people of the neigh
borhood have frequent service, and
just across the turnpike is the old
Baney Mill, owned and operated by
Mr.. Jas. II. Rowland, another clever
gentleman and one of our best patrons.
Taken all in all, there is not, we be-
Iieve, fairer portion of Gods green
earth than this lovely section, and the
good people who inhabit it are fully
worthy of their rich heritage, in the
enjoyment of which we wish them long
life and much happiness.

THE nomination of s. D. Meme

THE nomination of S. D. McEne-
ry for Governor by the Democratic
State Convention, will be hailed with
Joy by large number Of our Demo-
cratic fellow-citizens, arl over the
State, and periodically accepted, we
trust, by those who were opposed to
him. We rejoice because it is the vim
'dication of a sincere, incorruptible
man, an honored standard bearer of
the Democratic party and allied with
that element that aims to place Louis
lana in the front rank of the "new
South" Under his administration if
properly sustained, we believe an i'm
petus will be given the utilitarian
spirit that contemplates filling our
waste places with an active, thrifty,
industrious, enterprising population,
developing the varied resources of the
State, building railroads, and estab-
fishing manufactures. We rejoice,
because we regard him as true to the
land of his birth, and devoted to the
interests of its people. Il shreveport

RUIN WROUGHT IN THE FOREST
How depressing it is to see acres of
trees cut down in the midst of u 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 Parker's 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 slight
and occasional application keeps the
hair and scalp in the most perfect
order.
