Public school Building.

At a meeting of the town council
on Monday last, an ordinance was
passed requiring the mayor to order
d special election in order to determine
whether the people of Lake Charles
would agree to special tax of five
mills, for the term of two years, for
the purpose of erecting public school
building. 1t would have been hard
for the council to have made more
sensible move than this. Lake Charles
stands greatly in need of a public
school building, such as the revenue
derived from five mill tax would in
sure, ana the action Of the council in
the premises cannot fail bnt receive
the favor of the tax payers al the polls.
The Echo unqualifedly endorses their
action. II is the truest evidence the
hoard have thus far given the public
that they were alive to the interests
Of our town aud her future. Now lei
the election be ordered at once, the
move endorsed, as it will be, and let
work immediately begin in complain,
wHi, the result sought to be attained.

Readers of the Commercial cannot well for
get that large space for yeats been taken up

certain SPAWN Cure, We have had dealings
with DR.. cndall for many years, and we
know of some large business Houses In cities
near by. who have also dealt with him for
many years. aud the truth is fully and faith
fully proven, not only that he is a good honest
man. and his celebrated SPAWN Cure not only
all that it is recommended to be, but that the
English language is not capable OF recon-
mendng it too highly.
Kendal's SPAWN Cure will cure spavins.
There are hundreds of cases in which this has
been proven TO our certain knowledge, but af-
ter all, ii any person confines the usefulness of
this celebrated medicine TO curing spavins,
they make a big mistake. 1t is the best out
ward application for rheumatism in the human
family. 1t is good for pains and aches, swell
ings and lameness, and is Just as safely applied
to men, women and children as is to horses.
We know that there are other good iniments,
but we do believe this SPAWN cure to be far
better than any ever invented.
