What is the right of the ballot to
woman compared with her privilege
of enjoying health and happiness in
The charmed circle of her social and
domestic relationsg Among the many
discoveries. tending to promte the hap
piuess and advancement Of the hu.
man race, nothing is so intimately
connected with the health and happi.
ness Of woman--the centre aud
source Of our highest earthly enjoy
ments--as the discovery Of a remedy
which meets her peculiar wants. and
fits her for the enjoyment of life, and
for ministering to the happiness Of
those with whom she is associated
in the tender relations of sister, wife
and mother. This remedy is found
in DIR. j. Brad6eld's Femals Regu.

MILAN EXCHANGE
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
HUMBOLDT, JAN. "a. 1888.

Editor Exchange:
AS you are doubtless aware that
the Fruit and Vegetable Growers Of
West Tennessee met IN convention at
Gadsden last August and organized.
There was a goodly gathering Of
Fruit Growers and your place was
we'll, though not Dumerously, repre~
sented. The next meeting of this AS
ISOLATION will be held at Humboldt,
drst Thursday in February.
A good many thousand dollars was
distributed in and around the town
from the sale of fruits and vegeta-
bles the past year, aud fully demon-
strated that Milan was well located
for this business aud indicating what
might he done. The bulk of your
sales and ours, the past season, was q
mere surplus there being no large
orchards here and only two, believe,
at your place. l was informed that
this surplus amounted to about half
the value of the cotton crop. This
is the more impressive from the fact
that very few berries were shipped
from your place last year If the
mere surplus brings in this amount Of
money, what would be Milan's income
from this source, if proper attention
was given this Industry From one
point alone, Golden, in Southern Hi
nois, 382 car loads of fruits and veg.
etables were shipped last season, We
are at least two weeks earlier in local.
ity than our Southerb Illinois friends,
and West Tenn. should be getting
her part of the vast SUM paid out by
the prosperous Northwest for early
garden and orchard products. There
is demand for all the early garden
truck and frst-class fruits that can be
grown around all the towns and sta
tiuns of West Tennessee. Any one,
within one to i've miles of a depot,
can engage in this business to advan-
tage. Let them grow Irish and
sweet potatoes, peas, snap.beans, cab
bage, onions, cucumbers, water-mel
ons, cantelopes, asparagus, rhubart
(pie planD, celery - Strawberries,
raspberries, black berries, pears, peach
es, apples, cherries, plums, etc.--a'
their tastes, location and purses may
suggest The closest should grow
the smaller fruits and such vegetable
as require heavy manuring. From
one hundred to one thousand dollars
per acre can he made in this business
The maximum amount is being made
in Southern Illinois with fewer advan
tages than we possess. We had al
Illinois fruit grower to give our towI
prospecting trip the past week, anC
we are assured by letter to-day tina
he will locate here. We can get tn
cream from the fruit and early veget
able milk bucket if we but try. Tn
organization of these interests for mu
tual assistance is the first importan
s,ep. The citizens Of your town AM
district should be in large attendanc
at the forthcoming meeting WORK
ing committees were appointed ant
are to make important reports. N
doubt much useful and interesting
data will he developed during tn
progress Of the meeting.
Remind your folks Of this and sa.

STAND 70 NICHOLS.

As the gubernatoriaI fight progresses
and the battle is already well under way,
though the election is yet nearly eight
months oft becomes more and more APP
parent to our mind that the newspapers and
people of Louisiana who desire a change
in the personnel and policy of the State
Administration cau best accomplish this
object by supporting Gen. Francis Z. Mich
oils for next Governor. In fact, we
doubt if they can succeed With any other
man.
Despite the announcement that Gen.
Nichols will not be a candidate and that
he is not disposed to abandon his lucrative
and congenial law practice to assume the
onerous and poorly compensated duties of
the Executive office, his election is adyo-
Gated by greater portion of the State
press than supports the claims of either
Gov. McEnery or Gen. Ogden, who are
both avewed aspirants for gubernatorial
honors; and it is almost generally conceded
that, if Nichols will consent to make the
run, he can easily outstrip any of his COM
petitors nj the race.
1t is not probable that his assent can be
obtained in advance of nomination. He
does not seek the position nor desire it; but
we venture to say that if the nomination
is rendered him he will consider it his duty
as a citizen to accept. Let his friends
throughout the State proceed upon this
assumption and they can again elevate him
to the position he has before filled with such
distinguished ability and honor in the face
of complications and difficulties the So
luton of which made comparatively
plain sailing for his successors in Office.
Then will Louisiana be once more blessed
with an Executive who aspires to be, not
the Governor of the Democratic party
alone, but of the whole people-whose ad-
ni1listration will be independent, clean
handed and impartial.
Conceding to Gen. Ogden all the capacity
and purity of character claimed by his
most ardent admirers, the facts remain
that he is without experience in scivic Off
cial position, that he is already heavily han
dicapped by the alliance with Fitzpatrick,
and that he can not command the united
support of the elements that would enthu-
siastically combine to secure the election
of Governor Nichols. If the friends of
the latter permit themselves to be Influenced
date, we regard the nomination of Gov.
MeEhery as foregone conclusion. On
the other hand, if they stand by their ia
yorite, we believe he willbe the nominee
pie at the pelle.

SMALL Po1.- The Disease Dying Odd
that week has passed without the appear
ance of a new case of small pox in Donald
sonyille, and that the end of the epidemic
which has prevailed here during the past
six months seems indeed at hand. Three
deaths have occurred since our last report
as follows:
Jos. Suares, white boy, nephew Of Desire
Gonzales; colored child of Mahaiey Arm
stead; colored child of Mary Patterson.
There are now only three cases remain
ing i'll the town: Colored woman in Mary
Patterson's house; child of Mahaley Arm
stead; child of julien Sims, and the last
named is counted as good as well. As Mrs.
Hyacinth Montero aud Julian Love have
Iecovered, the houses where they have
and fumigated to-day and their guards dis
charged. The remaining cases are located
in the rear portion of town where the di-
sease made its first appearance and where
it will peradventure make its final exit from
the community.
Acting Mayor Israel expects to issue a
proclamation during the coming week
declaring the town free of small pox.
There is one case in Port Barrow, a child
of Martin Rivet, and one near the sugar
house on the Teller plantation. Both are
doing we'll, and no apprehension of the
spread of tile disease in those localities is
f1tt

The bitterness of this campaign angurs no

Undoubtedly the Bulletin is right in ap-
pretending that the existing and i1,crea-

fec upon the interests Of the Democracy,
and if one Or the other of the principal candi-
dates i'll the field is nominated, Jealous
friends OF the unsuccessful aspirant will
have either to eat crow or break out of the
party harness. OF course, most of them
will proceed to Easticaie the fowl, and the
cloak Of the party nomination will cover
the multitude of sins erstwhie alleged
against the triumphant candidate. We
will agree with the Bulletin that no man
ought to be expected to support a bad man

A DEMOCRATTC DILEMMA

The New ORLEANS Sugar Planter, which is
not political paper, expresses the convic-
ton that Mr.. Samuel J. Randall of Penn
sylyania can neither be elected Speaker nor
deliberately disregarded by the Democratic
party without serious if not fatal injury to
the Democratic cause. The reasoning in
support OF this opinion is, that if Mr.. Ran
dali receives the caucus nomination, which
is taltanount to an election, the fact will
be taken as an abandonment of the tariff
issue in 1884, and the free trade rank and
file Of the party will be disguised by this
Endorsement Of an undisguised protection
ist: whereas, if The caucus rejects him, the
action will be taken as a declaration in
faver of free trade, which will throw over
to the Republican, party large and infuen-
tiai element in the Middle States, where ths.
Democracy can least afford to lose any
strength.
The Sugar Planter, in behalf of the par
ticular interest which it SO ably represents,
hopes that Mr.. Randall will be chosen
Speaker, and, in the event of his defeat,
that the Democrats will be routed in the
approaching general election, horse, foot
and dragons. To quote the exact Ian
guage of the paper: "We do not hesitate to
say that, if he is defeated, the Republicans
will overwhelmingly carry the next national
contest, and they will do it on tho tariff
issue"
"TEe Northern Democracy" says our
contemporary, i" has been telling us for the
past fifteen years to keep quiet and wait,
and we have kept quiet, and we have waited,
only to be sacrificed at every session of
Congress; and even during the last session,
in the revision Of the tariff, they calmly and
indifferently looked on at the attempt to
throttle our sugar and rice industries"
Harpe,''s Weekly has expressed almost
precisely similar views relative to the Speak
ers'ip. 1t characteristics the PENNSYLVANIA
statesman as the cnfGnf terrible of his party,
and declares it an amusing fact that " he
can neither be taken nor left without great
damage to the virtuous Democratic party
WHICH proposes 10 tuf1i the TaScdlS out.
The only remaining course beside proclaim
ing protection by supporting him, Or taking
a stand for free trade by unfolding can
didate like Mr. Carlisle, would be to drop
them both, and this would disgust the posi-
tive men of both wings Of the party, at
tracing no independent Or Republican
support to compensate for the loss.

MARROW ESCAPE. Mr.. Frederick Landry,
the genial and much esteemed young sales
man in the house of Messrs. Bernard Lem
ann & Brother, had an extremely narrow
escape from drowning, last Sunday, at
Grand Isle. He reached the Isle at an early
hour Sunday morning, and went into the
disporting in the briny element he was at
tackled by a fainting spell and sank to the
bottom. Fortunately some gentlemen who
were bathing near at hand had their atten-
ton attracted by the air bubbles which
arose to the surface where our young friend
went down, and he was quickly seized and
carried ashore where vigorous measures to
restore his suspended animation were en-
ployed. These failing Of success, he was
taken to the hotel and physician sum
moned, but it was twelve hours after the
accident before Mr.. Landry recovered con-
sciousness,, land his feelings when he found
a doctor on one side of his bed and a priest
on other may be better imagined than de-
scribed. The patient was soon up and
about, and he is now at home again, appar-
entity having suffered no bad effects from
the Inishap that came so near terminating
his earthly career. We heartily felicitate
him upoa his fortunate escape from an I'M
timely death.
