A Baton Rouge special to the

says:
Neither House vexes itself with
overwork. The only bill passed was
Lewis, to amend the constitution to
increase criminal jurisdiction of

the only result would be to impede
necessary legislation.

He looked long on the white face. PITY,

the man lying there had once been loved by
Beatrice; mi ght, had he so willed. be loved

He had to answer many questions; see

money for funeral expenses, and for q stone

Attend to it Now.

Many suffering people drag themselves
about with failing strength, feeling that they
are steadily sinking into the grave, when by
using Parker's Tonic they would find a cure
commencing with the first dose and vitality
and strength surely coming back to them.
81 am SO years old have been sick nearly all
my life, and ought to know something about
medicine by this time. have used Parker's
Tonic freely for more than year, and con-
sider 1t the best remedy / have ever known.
In fact, now find no other medicine necess-
airy. For weakness, debility. rheumatis ism and
that distressing al-gOneness and pain from
which suffered so long, it has no equal. | do
not see how any one can afford to do without
so valuable medicine. "-MRs. HATTIE N.
