Foreston Not Submerged.

FoREsroS, March l9.-AIr. Editor
Your highly esteemed correspondent,
Anon, inquiries what has become of
Foreston, and hopes it is not entirely
submerged. He says one of their
W;de-a,cake citizens in going to Char
lesion, the other day, was on the look
out for that lively little village among
the p-p-ponds, and when he got to
Greeleyvil!e he was told he had passed
it. Your correspondent also suggests
that an appropriation be made to put
up sign board to mark our towns
location. 7 will inform my friend
that the railroad company have an
ticipated the suggestion, and have
placed one on their sign post point
ing across the track. I fear his wide
awake friend was in the condition OF
some others I have seen from that
section, when passing Foreston-a
condition in which it would have been
difficult for them to have distinguish
ed thriving village from millpond.
I advise the next wide-awake Sum
merton citizen who passes Foreston
to get the loan of that mans '.jack
malanton." I will further mention
that Foreston is so high and dry that
the country round about here can
be plowed without turning in the
middle of the field. NJ. n.

One Of yeb Stewards Veterans.

No man is mentioned in the life of
Jeb Stewart with more honor, brave
ry and dash than the gallant Major
B. S. White, of Barnesville, Maryland.
The Major was one of the most
trusted of the famous cavalryman's
staff. The Major, for years since the
war, was an invalid, but recently he
has entirely recovered. How this
was brought about is told in the fol-
lowing letter:
GAINESVILLE. MD., June 25, 1887.
Gentleman-For over sixteen years
I had rheumatism in my right shoul-
der. At the same time I had severe
indigestion and dyspepsia. All dur
ing these years I tried several physl-
clans and numerous patent medicines,
but without getting any permanent
relief. A few months ago, at the per.
suasion of relatives, but with decided
prejudice, I began course of S. S. S.
After using six large bottles I was en-
tirely well. The medicine got at the
root of the disease and eradicated it.
With the disappearance OF the rheu-
matism also went the indigestion and
dyspepsia. I have gladly recon-
mended your S. S. S. to my neigh
bors and countrymen, because I am
convinced of its efficacy, it having
cured me in spite of every prejudice.
Yours truly,

Next Years Carnival,

The dignitaries of the Carnival
Court met at the St. Charles Hotel
and decided, unanimously, to carry
on the Carnival next year. Mardi
Gras, 1889, will be celebrated on q
magnificent scale. Instead of two
days festivities, there will probably
be Eve, and procession on the night
of the Thursday before the Mardi
Gras. On the eve of the day there
will be two professions, Rex's arrival
and a night parade. On Mardi Gras
there will be two pageants. Several
Of the old organizations have ex.
pressed their intention to reappear
next year. The festivities will be
advertised throughout the Union,
with exceeding profuseness. Huge
posters will be distributed every.
where, and the railroad companies
have promised to have these posters
hung mp in conspicuous places. To
insure the success of the gorgeous
programme contemplated by the
business men of this city. those
directly interested in attracting
strangers to New Orleans, and who
profit pecuniarily from the presence
Of Carnival visitors, will have to
contribute to the fund which will be
started.-City Item.

Uncertain NKaladiea.

There are at least a thousand doc.
tors in the United States who wish
they had the Crown Prince for a
patient. This is not because they
think they could cure him, nor for
the sake of tue money they could
make out of the royal patient, but
they honestly believe they could
give that mysterious malady name.
For the past Eve or six months DR..
Mackenzie has been in constant at
tendance upon the patient: He has
poulticed the larynx and bled it and
leached it, and, at last, he has cut a
hole in the wind pipe and put q tube
for the breath to pass through; and
now, after all this fuss, he CONES out
and says he does not know whether
it is q case of perichrondites or eau
Ger
I If an ordinary man had a doctor
Of this kind the patient would be
excused for kicking him down the
front steps and telling him to hand
in his bill at once. People are be.
ginning to doubt if the so.called
eminent" physicians, the men with
big watchchains and 6ne turnouts,
the men who make short calls aud
put in long bills, know anything. If
they do, i: is time they showed it.
The cases of President Garfield aud
General Grant are still fresh in the
minds of all. There wero from Eve
to dozen Of the best doctors 10 the
country in constant attendance upon
Garfield, yet they knew next to
nothing about the location OF that
fatal bullet until he died. If skill.
fnl physicians are as ignorant as
those who attended President Gar
field and those who nov have charge
of the Crown Prince, the average
man will prefer those who charge
less and know more. 1t is about
time the days of eminent ineffciencY
we're ended.-Boston Globe.

A Well.Timed Susgestion.

A correspondent to the Lafayette
Advertiser makes the following we'll
timed suggestion which, in our opin.
ion. should be taken into considera,
ton and acted upon AZ once:
"Will you not join your voice and
influence to that Of right thinking
and feeling people, so that an end
may be put to the character of cleo.
tioneering now going on. That labor
is being demoralized. the planting of
crops hindered, money wasted, and
promises and bargains made by men
who will be elected to high Offices
that ought not to be made, is too
plain for comment. There is another
reason to change methods which
commends itself to all true Demo.
Gratis, who are sincerely devoted to
their party, and who really desire
the election of Governor Nichols as
we'll as their own advancement. That
reason is that all these gumbos,
negro balls, night meetings in cabins,
ect., add only strength to Repnbli,
cans in aiding their organization.
The money given to support these
affairs-this style of canvass comes
out of the pocket Of candidates, who
in daylight and on the street loudly
proclaim their Democracy, yet it is
all spent in the pleasing of Republi.
can voters-is spent by negroes in
collecting crowd Of which he ex.
poets to be fed and treated by these
candidates. At these meetings these
white candidates never whisper
word about the State ticket-never
a word against the revival of the
Warmoth r6gime-not q whisper of
any issue Of the campaign. Yet they
hear the negroes exhorted to stand
to Warmoth.
The remedy is plain, simple. easy
Of application and in the hands of
the parish Democratic committee.
Let that committee call a parish
Democratic convention and nominate
a Democrat for every Office from
district Judge to ward constable, then
campaign could be inaugurated
that all could take part in. The
candidates could preserve their self.
respect, save their money and stand
by their party. By this method the
intelligence, virtue and manhood of
the community could have some part
in choosing public officers, but as the
campaign is now conducted appeal
is made most vigorously to the igno.
rant and vicious, and it only serves
to strengthen and consolidate the
party that Democrats seek to keep
out Of power.
Will you not personally urge this
matter upon the attention of the
parish committee. Yon have thought
of this and can add still stronger
arguments, and receive the hearty
thanks Of business men and citizens.
The State Central Committee urges
this course and our parish committee
will fnil in its duty to the people and
the party if it does not act.
