have been lately heard to say, "It'S
hot" This is not an original re
mark, however. What would the
growler say fine had been up in

are falling down daily by sunstroke,

cool, only to find another hot day
before them.

The wheat crop will probably be
about 149, 900, 900 bushels less than

There is however a large amount

To-day the SENTINEL enters up
on its twenty.first year. 1t may
be said to have reached the years
of manhood and maturity.
1t has labored faithfully, honest
ly and devotedly to enhance the
prosperity of the Lafourche district,
the State and the country.
1t has never given its readers sen
satiOnal editorials, nor labored to
express its sentiments in tlOweIS
language.
1t has made use of plain words to
express practical facts.
The SENTINEL congratu'ates its
readers upon the approaching pos
perity that is soon to visit It's.
Good crops, economy, and prudence
will be followed by an era of pros
perits that will be practical. perma
nent, and satisfactory. The SENT
