What Would the World Do

Without woman? asks the essayist who
starts out to say something new on this Oft
treated subject. OF course the human ele-
ment of the world would not exist without
woman, so the question is gratuitous. 1t
would have been far more sensible to ask :
What would the world do without the sal
walton of woman, without a panacea for
her physical ills and cure for her peculiar
diseases. In word, what would the world
do without Dr. Pierce's Favorite Preserip-
ton, the great remedy for female weak
nesseS? It is indispensable for the ills of
womankind

opinion that Louisiana has more
loafers, in proportion to its popula-

Whisky did it. If our confrere will
take the trouble to cast about for a
reason, it will find that four fifths of
the loafers are vagabonds that are
sunk in the social scale from too free
use of whisky, while the other fifth
is made up Of idlers who obtain their
living by the sale of whisky. This
latter class make themselves ridden

The valuation of the taxable prop

SCISSOR Garrett for 1885 is something
over $65S, 500 This includes railroad
lands valued at fifty cents per acre

and non-residents in 1884 footed up
$3.50, $50, exclusive of railroad lands
valued at 81 per acre, $l26,526).
which fictitiously raised the total to
. S676,S75. But as nothing was real
lied on the railroad lands, we must
take s550,350 as the true valuation
for 1884. We have consequently an
increase this year OF sos. l50.

the business. 1t is blood red beet
that is almost perfect counterpart
of an infants body minus the head
1t is foot long, and the formation of
the neck, body. waist. back, stomach,
thighs and knees are about perfect,
while the extremeties of the legs are
even turned in the right direction for
the feet to grow. Who knows Int
what if Uncle Dave had let it remain
in the ground little longer it would
have developed head and feet ?
Here is yonr connecting link between
man and the vegetable kingdom.

The barbecue and picnic near Iatt
postoffice last Saturday is said to
have been an interesting occasion.
Fully three hundred persons were
present. All feasted to their heart
content, and there was enough pro-
visions left to feed hundred more.
We regret that some clever individ-
nal did not make note of the Incl
dents of the day and send them in
for publication.
