Against Removal.

The removal of the Court House
10 now the subject of chief interest
70 our citizens, and it is deservedly
90, for it is a very important question
demanding the serious consideration
of the tax payers of Bossier, who
will be called upon to pay the ex.
uenses incurred. We are inclined
to believe this important question
che most important ever presented
to our tax payers since the forma.
ton this parish-has not received,
and ia not now receiving, the care.
ful consideration which it deserves
from our citizens. It is a momen.
tious queotion which should not be
acted upon hastily, or lightly dis
posed of. Bossier parish is already
90 debt, and her expenses yearly in
creasing, with an estimate of proba-
Bile expenses for this year of $17,-
$50 90. Is not our rate of taxa
ton already high enough? Had We
not better wait for more prosperous
times before becoming further and
more heavily involved And again,
many of our citizens are in debt we
have had short crops for the past
three years; our public schools need
fostering and more financial aid, if
We desire the up-building of our par
ish and an increase of white immi.
grants amoung us who have children

money is to be- expended in build.
ing another Court house and a new
iail, while our schools are demand
Ing all the financial assistance that
we can render, and more too, we
cannot reasonably expect immi-
grants who have children to educate,
TO locate among us. And still again,
while We are now anxiously looking
forward for a "boom" in immigra.
ton and the aid of capitalist to help
as develop the great resources of
our parish, is it not an inauspicious
time to plunge deeply into debt,
and thereby make public exhibit
ofa burdensome taxation grievously
60 be bourne.
Citizens of Bossier! Seriously
ponder whittier you are drifting
Why the immediate necessity of the
removal of the parish seat? Who
are to be SO graatly benefited By this
very expensive acts Are any
public interests suffering, or. seriously
demanding this removals Why n,
let "well enough alone" for a while
longer, until we are better able to
settle this "yexed question:" fnan.
cially and otherwise.
Citizens of Bossier, you will soon
be called upon to vote on this all
important question. Look well to
your ballotsl Count the cost. Ii
Is matter of dollars and cents, and
you property holders will have all
this large debt to pay-every cent
ofit--principal and interest. Delib.
crate over this matter, and carefully
weigh and examine the question,
for Q heavy parish debt is a grave
and serious thing; not easily dispos
ed of, when once it is saddled upon
you, and one which will affect your
interests vitality for many years.

Habitual constipation is not only one of
the most unpleasant, but at the same
time one of the most injurious conditions
of tn human system, and is but fore
runner of disease, unless removed This
is usually accomplished by the use ofpur-
gativcs, which for the time affnrd relief,
but after their immediate effects have
passed they leave the system in worse
state than before. To effect cure it is
necessary that the remedy used should be
one that not only by its cathartic effects
relieves the Bowels, but at the same time
acts as tonic, so as TO restore the organs
to sound, healthy condition. This
