With smile as they gaze at the couple,

How charming she looks,
Like princess in books,
And Grover,
How gallant is he!
Appearing TO be
As contented as bees are In summer,

His eyes are so bright,
With solid delight
They glisten;

With light most divine,

Changing for the BETTER.

We were pleased this week to
meet in Colfax Mr.. J. S. Brady, of
the extensive Alexandria hardware
firm of Miller, Brady & Co., who
is making a tour of this section
with the view of working up an
interest in reapers and binding
machines. He says that lately
much attention has been given to
the cultivation of hay, oats, etc, in
central Louisiana, and the uni
versal verdict is that it beats cotton
too far to talk about. In this
parish he has sold two reapers, one
to Mr.. L. X. Smith and another to
Messrs. Hickman and Rhorer. He
has variety of reapers, but says
the champion Steel Mower" and
the champion Ball Joint Mower"
give most satisfaction, and all who
have bought them express them
selves as well pleased with their
working. Another point to recon-
mend these machines to our people
is that Miller, Brady & Co. keep
all their parts, and can supply them
at short notice, thus avoiding vexa-
tious and sometimes ruinous delay
1t is hopeful sign when this line
of agriculture quadruples itself in
couple of years, as it has of late,
and in the near future we can ex-
pect to see the thousands of dollars
now spent abroad for hay and oats
kept at home.

To abolish grand jnries will be to
strengthen the party in pOwer-who-
ever or whatever it may represent-so
firmly that nothing short of forcible
upheaval can change it. 1t is, OF course
possible for grand jury to lie foolish
or fraudulent in its conduct; but, it
should he remembered, it is not so
likely that sixteen sane, sober and sub
stantial citizens willcommir many more
stupid or wrongful actions than one
governor. Another powerful argumen,
for the rejection of the proposal ia that
it aims at the concentration of power,
a thing against which the good sense
of this people steadfastly fghts.-St

Now that Grant parish can count
on $500 or $1,000 additional revenue
annually from the railroad compa-
ny, it is high time for her to ar
range to pay the witnesses who
have to attend court. Let our
police jury pass an ordinance at
their next meeting authorizing the
tax collector to receive witness
certificates in payment for parish
taxes for the years in which the
certificates are issued. These GER
tifcates have not been worth the
paper they are printed on for years,
and it is but an act of justice and
common honesty for the parish tc
receive them in payment for he1
taxes. The fact is the law would
force the parish to take her own
paper in payment of taxes, if the
matter was ever taken into court
Luckily for the parish this has
never been done. Our police jury
