our old and valued friend, Mrs. A. E.
Coleman, mother of Messrs. II. Dudley
Coleman & Bro, of New Orleans. She
was true Christian woman, and no.
bier and better representative of her SIX

sympathy.
The County Commissioners to the
Worlds Exposition met last Monday
pursuant to appointment, but could not
prevail on the Board of Supervisors to
contribute the $4,000 necessary to make
successful county exhibit. The best
the Board would do was to pro-
pose to hear an expression on the subject
from the people on the 4th day Novem-
Der, and if it was favorable, then to
make the appropriation on the 9Th. This
practically defeats the object of the Com
missioners, as it will then be too late to
make the necessary preparation, even il
the action of the people should be favora-
BILE. We regret exceedingly that the
Board of Supervisors did not take a more
liberal view of the subject, as the money
would have no doubt been most wisely
spent. We understand that the Commits
siOners desire every one who has fine
specimens of agricultural products to
hold them in readiness subject to their
order, and that they will soon issue an
address suggesting such action as is now
deemed best.
Blessings In Disguise.
