The damage to the cemetery was not as
bad as first reported. Superintendent For
saith says the arbor-vitae and evergreens
stood the storm the best. One large wagon
load of debris is the extent of the damage to
the trees between the main entrance to the
cemetery and the receiving tombs. The
great maple at the corner of Mrs Calligan's
lot is split in two, and several, over at the
further side of the yard, have their tops
broken. Mr.. Forsaith says the damage, in
proportion, is much less than in town. Not
a nonument or slab is broken

A Murder and a Lynching.

Information was received hero Wednes-
day evening that dastardly murder had
been committed near Oak Ridge, More
house parish, OH that day and that the
murderer had met with speedy punishment
at the hands of Infatuated and outraged cit
liens. The victim of the murder was Mr..
J. Pipes, merchant and planter of More
house and an estimable gentleman. The
murderer was negro whose name is un-
known to us. From the meagre particulars
we could learn it seems that two negroes
were engaged in quarrel in Mr.. Pipes
store during his absence and he coming in
before it terminated, ordered them out,
whereupon one of the negroes drew a
pistol and shot him, the wound resulting
fatally. No further particulars were given
except the general remark that the negro
was summarily dealt with and that he had
paid the penalty of lis rash deed with his
life.

Cotton Buying in Monroe.

1t was bad custom many years ago on
Chatham street, New York, whore retail
secondhand clothing stores "most did
cangregate," for the merchants and their
clerks to rush out upon strangers passing
on the sidewalks and Selling them by the
arm, endeavor through force as well as
eloquence to induce them to step in and
buy. This became such a nuisance that
the street and its denizens became by
word and a reproach throughout the land,
and the locality is disreputable oven at the
present day. Nothing which we have seen
for many years so much reminds us of the
"Chatham street method" as the present
system or manner of buying cotton in
Monroe. By the time poor fellow from
the country, white or black, it makes no
difference, with one or moro bales of cotton
gets within sight of DeSiard street his wa
gon is surrounded by a crowd averaging
about eleven merchants and five boys,
each one pulling and neutrality-suspicious.
ically if not actually-at the confused
countryman and all endeavoring to get
possession Of the coveted staple, This is all
disreputable, undigniGed, unbusiness-like
and radically wrong. Nothing on earth
could be easier than for tho merchants to
establish a regular system which would
| give fair and equal chance to all parties
a nd at the same time avoid all the unplea-
| SAINT features ofthe present method. For
| instance let tho seller drive his cotton to
| the public yard and have tho weigher or
some merchant make sample from each
bale. Then let the seller take his samples
and visit the stores or offices of all the cot
ton buyers, giving to each one and appor-
| tunity of making bid. 1t would be to the
sellers interest to overlook no ono and
| consequently there could be no advantage
given to any individual. We know plans
of this kind are adopted in towns where
| much more cotton is bought than in Mon
roe, and that these plans are satisfactory
to all parties.
| With such a system w Q have suggested
the merchant, instead of hanging about the
street corners "waiting for the wagon"
would remain quietly in his Office, attend
ing to other matters, feeling assured that
every sample of cotton brought to the
market would be presented to him for
examination and for purchase if he 50 de-
sired. The merchants are strong enough
to enforce the rule We're it once adopted
and we believe it would increase the guam.
| tity of cotton sold in Monroe. whilst il
would certainly add pleasure and dignity
to the traffic.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by u sense
OF weight in the back, loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
pose he has some affection Of the kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times, symp-
toms of indigestion are present, hatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing very disa-
greeab1e itching, after getting warm, is a
common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the applica-
ton of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected, alb
sorbing the Tumors, allaying tho intense
itching, and effecting permanent cure.
Price so cents. Address The DR.. Bosankc
Medicine Co., Piqua. o. Sold by J. A,

THE RAILROAD BRIDGE.
The Lons Delayed Change Soon TO
Take Place.

~ y u. .
It affords us genuine pleasure to am
'nounce that part OF the material to be
used on the railroad bridge in making the
necessary alterations to opon it to general
traffic was received here last Wednesday
evening. We draw the inference therefrom
that the work of making the change will
soon begin and be speedily terminated.
Notwithstanding the fact that trade from
the West has been pretty fair since the
opening Of the business season and that the
ferry has been continually running, 1t cam
not be denied that the failure of the rail-
road company to open the bridge to general
traffic sooner has cut off great deal of
business from Monroe.
We now expect the drawback that our
friends across the river had to contend
against in reaching Monroe to be removed
at an early day and that business will be
largely increased from that quarter. and
that the injury we have suffered from the
hardness of tho railroad will in manner
be repaired.
When the bridge Is opened our friends
can drive right on into Monroe without
the annoyance of having to wait for the
ferry, avoiding the heavy strain on their
teams in pulling up the river banks, and
then find themselves right in the heart OF
the best cotton market in Northeast Lou
isiana and the best all-round market for
selling country produce and buying cheap
goods in this section of the State:
We congratulate Monroe upon this SOON
to-be-opened avenue to splendid trade,
but we admonish our business men to put
forth renewed efforts to obtain and keep it.
They will find the live and energetic men
Of our sister city across the river holding
out big Inducements. and it will require
|exertions on our part to control it.
