Mr. Z. D. Miller, the efficient
sheriff of Cameron parish, was in
town last Saturday. He reports
that Charlton and blind staggers
are prevailing to an alarming extent
among the stock in his parish, and
doing great damage. He also re-
ports that the cotton worm has put
in an appearance in that section but
not in large quantities. Since Sheriff
Millers departure, We learn from
Capt. j. S. Hawkins that the above
sad intelligence in regard to charbon
and the worms is only too true, and
the people Of Cameron are yefy much
discouraged over the matter.

About a year and half ago Beau
mont was visited by DIR. Richey, the
celebrated Chicago Dentist, who, with
his assistant, was kept constantly busy
for several weeks, extracting teeth by
his painless operation, filling decayed
ones and furnishing new sets. After
SO long an absence he came here again
on the 10th instant, and such was the
reputation be had left behind him that
Immediately upon his arrival he was
beseiged by parties wishing to be ben
Gifted by his science and skill, and he
has been kept hard at work ever since.
Ordinarily a mans reputation sinks
into oblivion in his absence, but no
sooner had it become known that the
Doctor was to be here again, than in
quiries for him were innumerable,
showing that his reputation was of so
sterling nature that 30 long an alb
scence had kept it bright. Everybody
has experienced perfect satisfaction
with the Doctors work and painless
dentistry. lie will stop on his way
back at Lake Charles, next Tuesday,
the 25th, to remain a short time, and
we know her citizens will be we'll
pleased both with the Doctor and his
superior work.

Mr.. r. L. Armstrong has com
menced work on the spire of the Bap-
list Church. and we may expect from
his skillful and mechanical hands a
general transformation of the appear
anee of the building. THIS building
has just received beautiful coat of
white paint by Mr.. Paul Sullivan,
through the charity of some kind
hearted and literally disposed citizen,
and when the spire is completed, the
Baptist Church building will be an
ornament to our town.

FGcIsenOF's AntisePtIc ERefrige-
rant.

Mr.. J. NJ. Sherrouse, OF the firm of
Tichenor d. SheFrouse, Druggists. and
manufacturers and proprietors of DR..
G. II. Tichenor's Antiseptic Refrige-
rant, Baton Rouge, La, dropped in on
US last Wednesday, and spent an hour
in pleasant conversation. Mr.. Sher-
rouse is the manager and general
travelling salesman for this widely
known specific, and we are pleased to
say from evidences produced, he is
gaining for this Refrigerant world
wide reputation. Many testimonials
as TO the efficacy of this medicine from
gentlemen of high standing in our
State, and well known to the people,
were shown us by Mr., s., and from
these we have no hesitanCy in saying
that we believe it will do everything
it is represented to do. For wounds
of every kind, on man or beast, it is
said to have no equal and gives the
happiest results when applied with
anything like care. In offering this
medicine to the public they put it
sqnarely on its own merits, with the
most unfinching confidence that its
virtues will fully sustain all that is
claimed for it. They court investiga-
ton and fair trial, and will cheerfully
abide that fate of all mediciDes-the
verdict of the people. In our next
issue their advertisement will appear,
when we viii have more to SLY about
the merits of this Antiseptie.

what FertiIixers wan Do.

Our people are all well acquainted
with the appearance Of the old thrown
out field just south of the Pithon
gully, which had the appearance of
being worthless. until it fell into the
hands of our enterprisiBg towpsman,
Mr.. John Burnett, who has for the
last two years been doing something
towards retaining it. Mr.. b. fertii-
lied ten acres this year and plantedit in
corn some time in May, and now he
has corn in that field that will yield
sixty bushels per acre. Some of the
ears will measure very near, if not
quite, 10 inches in length, and are
well filed to the ends. This corn is
of the Western yellow variety.
