Kansas City, Watkins and Gulf
Railroad.

An arrangement was effected between
the Kansas City, Watkins and Gulf Rail
way Company ANA the Police Jury of
Caleasieu Parish last week which secures
the building CT said road. The PROPOSE
ton was to exempt the road from taxa
tiGn for number of years. 1t WAS inan-
in,ously voted by the Jury, and their ac-
ton we'll received by the people. The
North aid South road Is now settled
question Work will begin before the
first of July flake Charles American.
This is the road mentioned in our
last issue, of which Mr.. Philhrick is
chief engineer, and who was in oar
Town last week and conferred with
several of our citizens in reference to a
five mill tax by the Town and Parish
for term Of years
Mr John A. Williams, one Of our
foremost merchants here, has com
muuication to our citizens on this sub
iert in the last issue of the 10acn 1ulk.
He very sensihly argues that we should
move III ihe matter, aDdthattoo at once.
He suggests that our Police jury re-
nit all taxes on the road for ten or
fifteen years. The gentleman ais"
argues in favor of the railroad now
building North and South from Mon
roe; here the read would cross the
river. This would give rs a North
and South road, which all our people
for so long time have been patiently
waiting far. Our Police Jury could
also exempt this read from taxes.
Now is the time to move, as Mr. w.
suggests. Our Town is geographic
cally in the right place brilliant
future is before us--onlv our people
have to get on their hustiing clothes.
Remember it costs us nothing, and be-
sides, will enhance our property aud
build up our Town and Parish.
We favor the scheme as tirst-class
one; and trust others of onr readers
will view it in the same light. Now is
the time to strike while the iron is hot

Who Was She =?

A late Issue of the Shreveport Dem
ocrat contains lengthy article on the
excursionists who left last week on the
steamer Dacotah. The two para
graphs below are published so our rea-
ders can see for themselves
One young lady, we learn, has already
telegraphed her mother to allow her to re-
main here until next trip of the Dacotah.
While on Il business trip to the boat to-
day Capt. Boardman introduced us to a
bright eyed Young lady, as the belle of
Alexandria. AS there are several very
pretty young ladies from this town on the
boat, we omit the name of the particular
one, and will allow them all a chance to
enjoy the compliment of the Captain.
Now. we believe we know the beau
ty. She has pretty black eyes, aud a
form as beautiful as-well, we won't
say any more, for fear the boys who
don't know might catch on.

THE CLERGY RECOMMEND 1T.

Malaria is nothing more than blood
poison and when its attacks are felt some
thing must be taken to completely eradicate
the poison from the system. DR.. Westmore-
lands Calisaya Tonic is the most efficient
blood medicine in existence, and all disor-
ders of the vital fluid readily succumb 10
its influence. A minister writes:
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Gentlemen:-I find I need some tonic as
an appetizer, and also to fortify my system
against malarial influences; from having tri:
ed it myself, and from the testimony of 9th;
ers who had tried it, in whom can rely,
know of nothing so good as DR.. Westmore-

three or four bottles to the above address,
and oblige. Yours sincerely,

II SUI
FOR 1890.

Some people agree with the Suns opin-
ions about men and things and some peo-
pie don't; but everybody likes to get hold of
the newspaper which is never dull and nev-
er afraid to speak its mind.
Democrats know that for twenty years the
Sun has fought in the front line for Demo
cratic principles never wavering or weak
ening in its loyalty to the true interests of
the party it serves with fearless intelligence
and disinterested vigor. At times opinions
have differed as to the best means of accom-
plishing the common purpose; it is not the
Suns fault if it has seen further into the
milestone.
Eighteen hundred and ninety is the year
that will probably determine the result Of
the Presidential election of 1892 and per-
haps the fortunes of the Democracy for the
rest OF tie century. Victory in 1892 is a
duty, and the beginning of 1890 is the best
time to start out in company with the Sun.
