near Shreveport on the night OF Oc-

have strictly condemned the perpe-
traitors of the outrage, who will have
trouble to escape severe punishment

The McShane bell foundry nj Bal
timore will soon have ready for ship-
ment the chime of bells to be used
at the Worlds Exposition. But one
or two remain to be cast, and they
are of small size. To give an idea
of the difficulty in arranging the
series it may be said that several
bells cast have been rejected. The
slightest variation from the proper
pitch of tone, volume and weight is
sufficient to reject bell. The mas
ter bell founder of Mr.. McShane's
foundry, however, is a veteran in the
business, and rarely makes mistake.
The fifteen bells to form these chimes
range in weight from $50 pounds for
the smallest, to 1000 pounds for the
heaviest. No finer set OF chimes was
ever cast in the world.

Voters of Grant Parish :

Felto,o Ciiizens-On tuesday, the
4th day Of November, you will be
called upon to cast your votes for
Presidential Electors, to determine
who are to be President aud Vice
President Of the United States, and
also for Representative to represent
you in the 49th Congress. It is
needless for me to at this time to
attempt to discuss the various issues
of the canvass. take it that the
most of you are thoroughly informed
iu these matters, and your minds are
made up as to your preference both
for men and measures. The object
of this address is purely to urge
upon you the Importance MS we'll AS
the duty incumbent upon you to ex-
ercise your right of suffrage. There
is an absolute need for your vote, and
YOU owe it to your State aud country,
to your home and freside, to good
government aud morals, to cast the
weight of our opiniou-your ballot
INTO the balancing scale. In gov
eminent like ours every mans voice
is heard and his influence felt. One
of the main causes of the corruption
that now rules in high places in our
land is that some of our best people
stay away from the polls and allow
he baser elements of society to
dominate. This has continued so
long that corruption in Office has
become the rule. The remedy lies
within your reach, aud you owe it to
God and your native land to use it.
The Republican party, in its wild
desire to retain its hold upon the
money bags OF the nation. has for.
gotten all decency and put forward
so many i'll famed men that the good
PEOPLE of the land, without regard to
party, have become disgnsted, and
the slogan cry OF the CANVASS has be-
come turn The rnscois out 7"
The Republican party, through it,
