The Louisiana State Fair and
Shreveport Exposition win present
its fourth annual exhibition at the
city of Shreveport beginning Tues
day. the 9Th day of October, and
ending Monday. the 18th. Past ex-
perience enables the management
to enlarge the scope of usefulness
and attractiveness Of the various
exhibits of our agricultural and
other products, and increase the
premium lists to the highest point
Of liberality. Better crops, fatter
and better cattle, larger and strong
er work animals, and encourage
ment = ell industrial pursuits, is
the sure outcome of these annual
exhibits. Everybody should raise
something for competition, or send
something useful or attractive to
exhibit and 60 to Shreveport du-
ring Fair week. An immense null
titude of attractions are engaged
by the management that viii prove
instructive as well as amusing.
Competitive prize and exhibition
drills of the crack military compa-
MES of the Southwest will be a
grand feature of the Exposition.
A special committee are now per-
fecting arrangements to entertain
them. Trotting, running and pa
cling races have an unusual number
of entries of the fastest horses.

The Il. q o. and the Inauguratlon.

Between midnight March Bird and noon
March 4th, the b. a o. r. r. carried into
Washington sixty thousand excursion
passengers, in addition to its regular
local and through travel. From three
o'clock, asterhcon Of the 4th until mid
night of the 5th. an equal number was
carried from Washington Allowing an
average Of 90 passer gers to the car in
cluding sleeping and palace cars, il re-
quired |, 200 cars to accommodate the
multitudes. Adding to this the neces-
sary number OF baggage cars to take care
Of the baggage Of passengers and the
supplies and paraphernalia of military
companies, bands and marching clubs, it
will be seen that the B. & o. hauled a
train Of 9 cars into Washington every
fifteen minutes from midnight March
3rd, until noon March 4th. and out Of
Washington every fifteen minutes from
3 90 p. m, of the 4th until midnight Of
the 9TH
In handling this immense volume Of
business, in SO short a time, not single
accident occurred and not passenger
was injured; not car was derailed and
not an engine failed to perform its al
lotted task. During all this time there
was an ineessant fall Of rain and all out
door work was invested with very de-
pressing conditions.
The satisfactory manner in which this
great movement was conducted reflects
the highest credit upon the operating
department of the B. 4 o. Company and
indicates the promptness and intelligence
with which each member of the entire
rank and file of the force performed his
assigned share of the labor involved.

This publication has been quietly

Is a surprise TO those who know Veins
and we may add that those who know
him best do not credit the idea OF the
marriage indicated above. William II
Veins Is white man and Ollie Wash
ington Ia a Colored girl. Veins was al
one time assistant yardmaster for the B
& DIN this city. During the war be
was in Captain CARROTS company, and
was a good soldier. Latterly he has
been connected with railroad at Col
umbus, where he has accumulated some
property, and few Of those who knew
him when be lived here believe he has
married Miss Washington. He had
been married the third time to white
women, and the death Of the last wife
has not been heard OF here. Ollie Wash
ington has been q character about Bel
latre for several years, and Veins was
here last week seeing relatives, which
gives color 10 the report, and In addition
to this the Girl told that she was going
10 marry a white man,
