spring, it is best in drills, so that II
can be frequently hoed and so KEEP
in growing state in order to pre-
vent it from running to seed as
quickly as it otherwise would.
In preparing it for table, the first
consideration is the number of
washings it needs to free it from
grit; it is probably the,'most trou~
blesome of all vegetables in that
particular, as it requires several
waters before it is fit to cook. There
are two or three different ways of
cooking it, but the best, although
probably not the way most general
ly known is the following: After it
has been we'll washed and drained
dry, place it in kettle or pot that
will just hold it, press it down tight,
sprinkle a little salt and cover it
close and set it over good fire.
When the spinach has .shrunk and
fallen to the bottom, and the Juice
which comes from it has boiled for
few minutes, it is done, and you
will have tho full flavor of the plant
when served in the usual way OF
such vegetables for the table.

REPORTS.
Life, both animal and plant, de-
Dends much more on the extreme.
OF temperature than on the average
There may be two localities; in tn,
one, the temperature may range
from 4Odeg. below the zero of Fab
renheit to l00deg. above; in the Other
tho range may not reach lOdes. be-
low nor 90deg. above zero, yet the
average temperature of those places
may be about the same But, though
average temperature is not so i'm
portant as the range between the
extremes, yet it is of Importance,
IN as much as certain plants require
certain quantity Of heat extended
over a certain interval of time to
bring them to a full development,
and as this development takes place
during a certain portion of The year,
the temperature of other portions
does not affect these plants. In these
cases it is of Importance to note the
average temperature during this
period of growth. For this reason
monthly reports of average tenn
perature Should be given. The ques-
ton is, how to obtain this average.
We can obtain it to high degree Of

involves an amount of labor that can
only be undertaken in isolated cases.
Many observers obtain the average
from the maximum and minimum
points reached by the Thermometer
during the twenty-four hours, but

rage may vary widely from the

'als of time observed, 4 thing that

NOTES AND COMMENTS

1t is our painful duty this weel
to announce the sudden disappear.
ance on Saturday last of one of the
prominent citizens of the Illinois
settlement across Clear Fork. We
refer tos-.Mr Burroughs, who came
overto Rugby thatimorning, bought
some stores here, among them be-
ing a sack of Hour and some molas-
ses, aud about one o'clock started for
home. This is the last that has been
seen of him. Clear Fork was a good
dead swollen with the late rains
and it is supposed he got upset
while recrossingsit \ short. distance
above Bucks Mill. About 80 o'clock
the canoe was seen by Mr. Buck,
with the flour and molasses tin in
1t floating in the eddies below the
dam. He Immediately mounted Bur-
roughs' mule, which was hitched on
the north bank, and rode to his
homss to inform the family. Mr..
Mackey, relative hy marriage Of
the Burroughs, Immediately started
for Rugby to notify usof the disap-
pearance. By the time he got round
here it WAS dark, and little could be
done. Our side of the creek was
searched with lanterns from the
mill to the meeting of the waters,
but no traces of the missing man
were found. On Sunday large mum
hers were out, and both sides of the
creek were thoroughly searched. The
canoe was found with the -four and |
molasses tin in it. 1t was taken up
to the mill and put in the creek
above the dam, and Jonathan WEIGH |
aud Harry Blackjack undertook to
take it up to the landing place with
poles. They let it get too near the
centre of the creek, aud lost con.
troll over it; to save themselves from
going over the dam they had to
leave the canoe and swim for the
banks. On Monday a more systema-
tic search was made with dredge
hooks, but nothing was found. The
heavy rains prevented anything
being done in the middle of the
week, but the search will be con-
tinued, when the creek falls.

FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT,
N. G. BLANCHARD,
OF CADDO.
THE MEXICAN TROUBLES.

Right on the heels of the Cutting
affair comes another sensation from
Mexico in the dastardly killing of
a naturalized citizen by the name
of Rassures. This case, like the
first, bears no national significance,
but is the act of lawless individuals,
which the Mexican government
shows a willingness to have punish
ed, and the parties to it have been
promptly arrested. These border
"outrages" have been of common
occurrence for years, and it is rep
rehensihle for the press to join in
the systematic endeavor that ap-
pears to be on foot to involve the
United States in a war with her
weak and defenceless neighbor.
The old fllibustering elementseems
to be rampant just now, but we do
not believe they will be permitted
to indulge in their desire to pillage
and plumber under the shadow of
resenting an indignity to the
national flag. The time may come
when q portion or all of Mexico
will owe allegiance to the United
States, but it will never be by a
"rectification of boundaries" after
a war gone into deliberately by the
authorities of that government.
Since writing the foregoing we
see from the Washington dispatches
that we are wrong in our estimate
of the Cutting matter, not having
fully understood the grounds of
his arrest. Mexico has been asked
by the President to release Cutting,
and has refused, giving her reasons.
Congress has decided that the rea-
SONS given are not good; that citi-
zens of the United States cannot
be prosecuted in a foreign country
for acts done wholly upon Ameri-
can soil; and the President is re-.
quested to renew his demand for.
the release of Cutting. Should
this demand not be acceeded to at
once war is inevitable. D

When motion to adjourn was
made Hon. j. r. Smart, of Vernon,
the chairman, arose and. addressed
the convention. He said he could
not consistently leave without re-
turning his heartfelt thanks to all
the delegates. He was growing
old and he could not therefore
make a speech, but his heart was
beating truly for the, grand old
Democratic party. He was 80
years old and probably he would
never be seen at another conxen-
ton, but he desired to be remem-
bered when gone, and also impress
ed his hearers not to forget the
great principles enunciated by
Thomas jefferson. Mr.. Smart said
he had voted for jackson in 1923,
and since he had never cast any
other ticket but a straightout ticket,
without a blur or a scratch; he had
never failed to be at the poll. His
remarks were well received and
after the adjournment of the con-
vention the delegates surrounded
the Democratic veteran and ten
dered their heartfelt good wishes. G

snOusIy Nominated!
At the Congressional convention
which met in Shreveport last Tues
day, Hon. N. G. Blanchard was
unanimously nominated as the
Democratic candidate for Congress-
man from the 4th district. The
convention was enthusiastic and
harmonious. Grant was repre-
scented by Messrs. Thos. Hickman
and Henry Bernstein. The follow
ing resolutions were unanimously
adopted
Be it resolved by the Democracy Of the
Fourth Congressional district, of Louis
lana, in convention assembled, That we
heartily indorse and commend the course
Of our present distinguished member of
Congress, the Hon. Newton @. Blanchard,
throughout his three terms Of service.
Be it further t
Resolved, That we thoroughly appre-
ciate his close and jealous attention to
the wants Of his constituents and his de-
votion to the immediate needs of the
fourth district, at the same time noting
with pride and pleasure his steady growth
and rise in the general Congress into the
front rank Of representative southern
men, one whose views are treated with
great respect, who occupies the careful
attention OF the speaker and members of
the House Of Representatives, and whose
comprehensive grasp Of public questions
is recognized alike by his colleagues and
the country. He has reflected credit ON
us by his thorough and constant atten-
ton in committee work, "a well as by his
bold, aggressive and manly course on the
floor, and we proudly observe in him a
development Of true statesmanlike quail
ties. Thrice has he been already nomi-
mated and elected with striking unanimity
of sentiment and this the fourth time he
has been so honored, fifty emphasizes the
trust in him which his abilities and
character have inspired the Democracy.
BE it further
Resolved, That we approve the admin
istration of our President, Grover Cleve-
land, and congratulate the party upon
having at its head man of strong will
and Individuality, and at the same time
thoroughly imbued with the principles Of
JeffersOnian Democracy. We commend
his course with reference to the exercise
of the veto power, illustrating as he does
a high and sacred regard for the laws Of
the land; at the same time coupled with
the frmest exhibition of strong and
original will in carrying out his individual
ideas, he has with great independence
upheld the dignity and power of the ex-
ecutive branch OF the government and
profoundly impressed himself upon the
country. In him Democracy furnishes
