The police juries of the parishes Of
Union and jackson have, we learn, re-
fused to license the sale of intoxica-
ting liquors in their PARISHES There
has evidently becif a misrepresentation
of the powers and duties of police iu-
ries on this subject. The law, with
out doubt, leaves the whole question
of licensing grog shops to the police
juries, and they can prohibit or tegu-
late the sale of iniexieafing liquors
without references to the State license
law.--The Supreme Court has so de-
cided, and it would be well for our
police jury now in session, to thor
oughIy investigate the question be-
fore fixing theA amount of license.
Sumptuary laws may, be distastefui
but patriotism demands some action
on the part Of constituted authorities
to prevent the ricero vices and the
parent Of over two-thirds of crime in
the parish. II tlissanneccssary luxury,
liquor, is demanded and must be sold,
let the persons who require IL pay in
directly in license the costiof criminal
expenses, of which it is the direct
cause. Let the police jury either
'Pr5ifUit entirely 6rafixs the aIicease as
snch a figure. a. will pay into tie
Parish Treasury aatm sntRcleut to
meet all the criminal expenses of the
parish. The labor is demoralized,
society in impaired, 'iiRI, ifberly and
property rendered Insecure or worth
less by this great vice. We Belong
to no Knights of Temperance, but
every man who thiifks 1T all would
be ready to sec this vice put down.
Fhe police jury have now an oppor-
tpnity, to. do patriotic act, the consc-
quences Of which viii result IN great
good to this.parish. Stop iBageatle-
men, or fix the license high enough to
pay for all of our criminal expenses.
10 five years your country wilhblossom
like the rose, and the women and
children of the land will bless YOU
with their prayers. 1t is true that
the proposition to stop the sale of
liquor was voted on aud defeatcd ID
year or so ago by the people of this
parish, but this was expected. The
best eIoments Of society votedIfor ii,
and to-day the moral sentiment of tho
country, which is largely predominant,
will sustain the jury in such an acriUn.
Try the experiment, for it 10 high
time that something was being done
to put an end to the disgrace and de-
gradatun of society.
We clip the above for the informa-
ton Of the police jury of our parish;
and ask the question? Does the
amount collected for liquor license
.ovrr the parish expenses incurred in
'riminal prosecutions! If not, or
even if 1t does, we think higher parish

AHAPPY NEW YEAR!

Through the soft mild days Of Spring
While Summers sun beat fegcely down
When Autumn brought the rifles ring
When surly Winter'gan to frown,
Through all these seasons have we passed,
and now,
" Our little JIMMIE " makes his annual bow.
He's brought the Echo to your door,
Which, at your leisure you've bnfurled,
And slipped the concentrated lore
That,we have gathered round the world.
According to our custom We elect,
To give to you our annual retrospect.
This New Years morn we brightly sec,
In two long Hnes--behind, before
The full ripe fruit Of Eighty-three--
The blooming hopes of Eighty~four.
New faces, forms and names, we constant
meet; b."
Alas we miss some we were wont to greet.
Our bounteous brown Mother Earth,
Des pite the cruel killing drought,
The farm has paid, its laboF's worth
In all the pIOducts Of the South
And thus we hear the planter say, "a least,
Thank God I've made enough for man and
beast"
The brawny Logger struts about,
Well dressed and happy Is his look,
These winter rains have helped him out,
And overfowed his pocket book. ..
Good friend, may all your life have "rver
roOmh
With nothing short of death to " cut your
boom"
The merchant made his Zone per cent
By advertising long and loud;
The people came, the people went,
A busy and happy crowd
., what great and grand commercial link
MT bpl maj kptf ri, .i4sf8 E,L
Now here's the ECHo's health to you,
May time how gently by, -
May all we do be good and true
Nor Fortune look awry.
And may this grand old leap year, Eighty
four,
Increase your joys and health, and family
and store.

that danced on its oaken door.
Down through the broken roof and
iii the chinks Of the tottering walls
the sun shines to-day in great bars of
gold, just for an instant, and then the
clouds shut out the sunlight and the
pitiless rain beats down upon the old
log house. The skies are gray, the
trees are leafIcss, the hills are bare,
and the rising wind moans and sighs.

until the day is gone and the evening
is gray and full of shadows, if he will
come to the dismantlcd old door, and
