"We once believed that the Louis

able organization, but we have good
reasons for believing that the mana

the square. Some time since friend
of ours sent sum of money to M.
A. Dauphin to pay for tickets in that
lottery. They never came, but the
postal note which was sent was paid
at the New Orleans postofice. Finally
the day of drawing came, but not so
the tickets nor line in reply to the
note. Another letter was sent to
Dauphin, but he has ignored that
also. We advise our people, first, to
have nothing to do with lotteries; and
second, that If they are SO inclined,
to give this concern a wide berth"

The following from the Brennan
(Texas) Banner voices our sentiments
exactly:
"The Banner never could under
stand why it is that some papers think
it witty to cast slurs on old maids
and tmothers-in-law." Many of the
noblest, purest and most self-sacrifc-
ing women in existence may be found
among those who prefer to live sin
gle, and the fact that they can scarce
ly read a column in two-thirds of the
papers without enconntering insult
ing remarks is disgrace to journal
ism. As to 'mothers-in-law, we pity
the man who cannot appreciate their
devotion to- their children and grand
children. There is neither wit nor
sense in such slurs and insults and
all decent papers should recollect it. !"
