in groceries Mires Rosenthal has

In groceries Mires Rosenthal has
never had a competitor who could in
any way equal him. He started in to
lead, and to say that he has kept it.,
would be only saying that which the
public have known for years. He
buys at all times, and keeps only the
freshest goods in stock-and you could
not get him to offer his customers any
other. He does not practice deceit
but is straightforward aud honest
And this is what has won for him the
the golden opinions of the people, and
he will strive in future to desere them
ull the more His efforts will be re-
newed, and his only aim will be to
keep the best family grocery store in
central Louisiana.

YOUNG Lipman d. Lehman, who
died at the home of his father and mo-
Their on Saturday night, at 1880, after
sickness of six weeks duration, was a
young man of great promise. He YVES
gcntlemanly to fanlt and possessed
the best of dispositions, being kind
and courteous, besides obliging and
willing at all times to please those
who were thrown in contact with him.
He possessed musical genins of no
small degree, being an excellent per-
former on both the violin and piano.
He was so loving to his sisters and
brothers, so regardful of his parents
every wish, that even those who no.
ticed him the least, must have been
forcibly struck with this manly trait
of his. He leaves good name, and
died, be it truly said, without an en-
envy. 10 see young man like him

firm of A. Heyman has always led in
this section of Louisiana, and the pre-
sent manager does not intend that he

other inducements. That is not his
style-he leads at all times and under
all circumstances. Go and see the

Importance of the Hen.

For the year 1883 the poul ry
product of this country was $780,
100000. Under an equal divis-
ion each man, woman and child in
the country would have paid over
one dollar to the poultry farmers.
But we paid more than that, for
we imported about half as much
as we produced. China alone
sent us 100000 eggs. These
are tremendous figures. Our
poultry interest, it seems, is more
than double the value of the dairy
interest. 1t was worth in 1882
S150,000,000 more than the cotton
product of that year. In the past
two years a great advance has
been made in this industry in the
Ohio valley. The state fair last
fall and the poultry show last
winter prove that. Small and
large farms, and persons having
but small lots and back yards,
have been penetrating the mystic
ries and cultivating the different
breeds of Cochins, Brahmas,
Hamburgs, Black Spanish, Wy
andottes, Plymouth Rocks, An
dalusians, and all the others for
all they are worth. 1t was but a
few days ago that an Ohio man
refused $50 for a nine-months-old
rooster, had demands for all the
eggs he could produce at So per
setting" and had to rent several
hens at S. each for two months in
order to keep up with the demand
for e9gs.-Wheeling Register.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded
by a sense of weight in the back,
loins and lower part of the abdo-
men, causing the patient to sup
pose he has some affection of the
kidneys or neighboring organs.
AT times, symptoms Of indiges-
ton are present, fiatulency, unea-
siness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture-like perspiration, pro-
duoing a very disagreeable Itch
ing, after getting warm, is a COM
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding
and Itching Piles yield at once to
to the application of DR.. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts di-
reotly upon the parts affected, alb
sorbing the rumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a
permanent cure. Price so cents.
