THERE is no sort of question but
Shreveport is improving in a most salts
factory manner. Withil a comparatively
short time several elegant and costly resi-
dences have been completed, while others
are nearing completion. Two of the fin
est are, Capt. j. G. McWilliams', OH Fan

residence of Mrs. Susan johnson, on Cot
ton street, will soon be completed. Capt.
J. G. Soape will soon have completed a
handsome house on Jordan street, adjoin-
ing Col. Wares residence. Not to be q
laggard in the race, Mr.. r. III. Howell de,
.termined to build $4,000 residence or
his beautiful lots corner of Spring ana
Lake streets, which is well under way
and will be completed within couple o.
months. And it is said that Mr.. Ed. ia
cobs proposes to eclipse all the rest by
bailding $4,000 mansion so soon as hi

WE notice that considerable rice
is being planted this week by the far
mers Of this neighborhood. The crop
of corn, owing to the storm and con-
tinued rains, will be but poor one at
most, therefore our people should try
to make up for this loss by planting
more Of other cereals. More rice, more
potatoes and more peas will somewhat
lessen the sutferings and privations to
man and beast that must necessarily
happen unless they take time by the
forelock and look closely to these
things. If the partial loss Of the corn
crop stimulates our people in other ag-
ricnltural ventures and directions it
may after all be but a blessing in dis.
guise, Now is the time, now the crit
ical moment, and We hope that oul
people will fully understand their pc.
sition and act intelIigently and wisely

a Wise Reform.
Them.

The habit of administering quinine in
powerful doses, as an antidote to malarial
maladies, was once dangerously common.
Happily this practice has undergone a
wide reform. Not only the public, but
professional men have adopted, not Who'll
ly, of course, but largely, Hostetters Sto-
mach Bitters as safe botanic substitute
for the pernicious alkaloid. The conse-
quences of this change are most impor-
tant. Now fever and ague sufferers arc
cured-formerly their complaints We're
only for the time relieved, OF half cured
the remedy eventually failing to produce
any appreciable effect, except the doses
were increased. A course of the Bitters,
persistently followed, breaks up the worst
attacks and prevents their return. The
evidence in favor of this sterling specific
and household medicine is Of no ambigu-
Gus character, but positive and satisfacto-
ry, and the sources whence it proceeds are
very numerous.
