hold, under the auspices of the Fruit
Growers Association of Southwestern
Louisiana, peach, pair, grape and

our inability to be present and join
our friends in the festivities of the

our going. The Echo, however, will

for the success of their untiring labors
to promote the interests of Calcasieu,
and sincerely hopes they will have a

Orr readers will remember that
we told them some time ago of a huge
pillow in course of construction at the
shops of the North American Land
and Timber Company, and il is with
pleasure we are now able TO say this
monster pillow is complete success.
Mr.. Watkins had il taken TO the works
and tested. That II gives satisfaction
is fully demonstrated from the fact
that it has been returned 10 the shops
to serve as model for the eonstruc-
ton of number Of lis kind. The
mechanical execution Of this work
was intrnsted to Mr.. Thomas Barnes,
practical boiler-maker, and first
class blacksmith. The success which
has attended this effort to construct q
pillow that would overcome difficulties
to which other plows Of acknowledged
merit had been unequal, must be
gratifying to both Mr. Barnes sad the
Company, and We hope that success
may attend al their efforts 10 develop
our country

Accidentally KILLED.

Last Thursday night an old negro
man went TO the residence Of Mr..
Lafayette Parker, who lives on Beck
with Creek, and carelessly laid his
gun upon table. A little five year
old child of Mr.. Parker's undertook
to draw the gun frum the table by
catching hold of the muzzle, and by
some means it went off, lodging the
shot in the body of the unfortunate
child, from the effects of which it
died Saturday night. People can't
be too careful with loaded guns.

Dear SRI take great pleasure in
recommending your "Antiseptie" as a
most excellent preparation, and by
far the best remedy for the purposes
intended, | have ever used. For Cuts,
Wounds and Injuries it is invaluable,
and every family and person having
employees or stock should at all times
keep an ample supply. The many
prominent persons whose certificates
I see is a sufficient guarantee of the
value of your "Antiseptic."
Yours truly,
