A RAPID FAMLY.-Last Thursday
noon the usual runaway couple came
10 town and with as little delay as pos
sible appeared before Bro. McCrary and
we're married. The female was OBJ
served 10 be rather corpulent but as
some climates are peculiar in their ef-
fects, little was thought Of the matter.
Some time that night DR.. Bagby was
called and before day he had succeeded
In providing the new made family with
an heir. This most industrious and
energetic husband gave the name
Of Merritt Elder and his able assistant
answered TO the parson as Miss Anna
Davis, both from Arkansaw. We ex-
pect they arc ae liable 10 belong to the
Smith aud Jones families az any
others. Some Of the women folks
around town were disposed TO poke fun
At Brother MeCrary, but he allowed"
his methods showed for themselves
and he would stand or fall by the rec
ord. Mr. Elder aud his wife remained
several days and perhaps are here still,
but they have kept their affairs strict
ly 70 themselves and little is known re-
garding the same. Appearances plainly
show them 70 he southwest Aiissoarians

Rev. sam Jones ON the Tongue

Many Il woman will stand by the
side of her husband when he is dead,
and with bleeding heart ask the
Lord to forgive every unkind word
she had ever spoken to him. have
myself spoken unkindly to my wife,
and am sorry for it. She said it was
dyspepsia, but it was my own down
right meanness.
Never say a thing unless you know it
is true. Never say anything unkindly
of any one. Never say anything be-
hind any ones back you would not say
to their face. If you do you are SLAM
derer-a buzzard, that's what you are.
The man that steals my money is a gen
tleman and a Christian, beside the one
who, with slanderous tongue, smirches
the character of some one. Let us
watch this tongue business. We talk
too much. Let us not lie down in a
tongue hell. | wish we could get our
tongues like that of Christ. He had a
word of comfort for every one. Wrong
no man with your tongue. The best
way to keep from wrOnging any one is
to keep your mouth shut.

The Lottery Infamy.

Again we are inspired with hope that,
at the next session of the Legislature,
we will get rid of the mOnstrOus evil,
the so-called Lou. siana State Lottery.
An exchange says that "the sudden
death in New York of Charles T. How
ard, caused by being thrown from his
horse, has revived the discussion about
the Lottery Company. According to
its charter it has ten years longer to
live, and it seems to be taken for grant
ed that there lis no way to get rid of the
evil until the expiration of the said
charter. This is a mistake. The Loui-
siana Lottery Company can be wiped
out of existence any day the Legislature
of the State sees proper to say the
word. This seems to be not generally
known. Many people are labOring I'M
der the idea that because the concern is
recognized in the Constitution of 1879,
the Legislature is powerless in the
premises. Not so. The Supreme Court
of the United States has decided in two
distinct cases, one taken up from Mis-
sissippi and the other from Alabama,
that Lotteries are against good morals
and may be abolished by the Legisla-
ture, anything in the Constitution or the
laws of State to the contrary nOtwitf-
standing. It the people of Louisiana
wish the Lottery Company abolished,
they have only to elect men to the Leg
islature who will do it, and it will be
among the things of the past. There is
nothing in the way it the right kind of
men can be elected to the Legislature"
and we must see that this is DONE
