CHEAP LANDS. - Small Farms on, EttSy
Ie,ms.-No better chance for persons of
limited means to secure small farms and
provide themselves with homes has ever
been offered than that presented by Mr..
Ben Gibson, one of the best known and
most generally esteemed citizens and plan
ters of the parish. Some time ago Mr..
Gibson purchased from the Citizens Bank
of Louisiana the extensive tract of land
known as the Leblanc plantation, situated
on the left bank of the river, and q short
distance above the village of Donaldson
vile, and he has had the place subdivided
and is now Offering it for sale in tracts to
suit purchasers. These tracts will be sold
at low prices and on easy terms, and those
who have already purchased lots or tracts
from him will all bear willing testimony
to the advantageous bargains and liberal
treatment he has accorded them. For adj
ditional information, see advertisement
headed Cheap Lands" and apply to or
address the advertiser as therein directed.

AYERS
Hair VigOr

restores, with the gloss and freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
BY its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and stimu-
lates weak and sickly growth to yigor. 1T
prevents and cures scE:f and dandrutf, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. AS Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
VIGoR is uneaualled it contains neither Oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts delicate
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr. C. P. BRIeHER writes from Kirby, o.,
JMfy 3, 1882 " Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in a short time | became
nearly bald. / used part of a bottle of
AYER's HAIR VIGoR, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair, and started a pew growth.

use Of your preparation | should have been

(Ohio) Enquirer, says LAYERS HAIR yIGoR
is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
sure cure for dandrntf. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction"
MR.. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader OF the
celebrated "Fairbairn Family" of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass, Feb. 6,
1880: ever since my hair began to give sill
very evidence of the change which feeting
time procureth, l have used AYERS HAIR
VlGoR, and so have been able to maintain
IN appearance of youthfulness "A matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora.
tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives
i'll the eyes of the public"
Mrs. o. A. PRESCOTT, writing from Is Elm
ST.. lharlcsfoacn, 5iass., .Aprit II, 1882, says:
"Two years ago about two-tllirds of my hair
came off. 1t thinned very rapidly, and was
fast growing bald. On using AYERS HAIR
VIGoR the falling stopped and new growth
commenced, and in about month my head
was completely covered with short hair. 1t
has continued to grow, and is now as good rs
before it fell ! regularly used but one bottle
of the YIGOR, but now use it occasionally as
dressing"
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AYERS HAIR VIGoR. 1t
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti-
cal of its value.

CRIMINAL. CAsEs.-Eevera1 weeks ago Dis
trict Judge Cheevcrs inquired into the
charges pending against the prisoners con-
fined in our parish jail, with a view of fix
ing the bonds of those entitled to bail and
ordering the release of any who might have
been Improperly OF illegally imprisoned.
We submit brief report of the cases inves-
tigated and the action taken in each:
A regular preliminary examination was
had in. the matter Of the State Us. Charles
Williams, wherein defendant is charged
with brutal assault and attempt to COM
nit rape upon Mrs. Mary Hammond, on
the Goth of September, in the fourth ward,
near the lower parish line. The evidence
against the prisoner was of a very positive
character, and the Judge fixed his bond at
$1,000. Being unable to furnish security
for his future appearance, Williams still
remains in jail. His general demeanor
and the skillful way in which he questioned
the witnesses during the examination indi-
cate that he is quite familiar with courts
and jaiIs, and if he is sent to Baton Rouge
We opine it will not be the first time he has
visited that city at the public expense.
Alfred Julien, the same man who was
sent to the penitentiary from this parish
two or three years ago for burglarizing the
store Of Mr.. M. Tobias in Donaldsonville,
is charged with breaking open a lady's
trunk at the Texas and Pacific railroad
e 4,lr
ing therefrom clothing valued at $120.
Julien was employed as porter at the depot
when the theft WAS committed. His bond
was fixed at 800, but he has not yet found
a surety.
Henry Williams, charged with horse
stealing, was permitted to furnish an ap-
pearance bond of S25 and was released.
George Washington, accused Of stealing
n sack of sweet potatoes from Mr.. F. S. Lee
Blanc, was liberated on furnishing bail in
the large sum of $40.
Anderson Clinic was discharged uncon- |
ditionaily, as no papers had been sent up to
sustain the allegation of petit larceny upon
which he had been committed to jail.
John Burnstadt, imprisoned for alleged |
larceny of iron from one of the Reirne |
plantations, was liberated upon his own |
reoognizance in the sum of 500. This &C
ton was chiefly based on the recommended
ton of the Jail physician, who reported the !
prisoner suffering from chronic diarrhoea.
Alexander Scott was discharged as there
did not appear to be much of case against
him at best, and the person whom he is al
legged to have assaulted with intent to kill,
expressed an unwillingness to prosecute.

was burned to death in New Orleans on the

his parents caught fire and he rushed into
the burning building under mistaken be-
lief that his mother had not made her
escape. Falling timbers pinned him down
and it was impossible to rescue him.
