Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition of the Surplus in the
u S. Treasury engages the attention
of our Statesmen, but a more vital
question has our attention, and that is
the reduction of the Surplus Consump-
tives. Since the discovery aud intro
ductlon of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, there has been a
marked decrease in the mortality from
this dreaded disease, and it is possible
to still further reduce the number of
Consumptives. How? BY keeping
constantly at hand a bottle of DIR.
Kings New Discovery and using ac-
cording to directions, upon the appear
ance OF the first symptoms, such as a
Cough, a Cold, a Sore Throat, IL Chest,
Or Side Pain. Taken thus early Il cure
is gual anteed.

Editor SENTINEL:
notwithstanding the very bad wea-
fher we had last Saturday and Sunday.
the falr at Oscar Lepine's went OH as
announced, and quite a crowd was in
attendance. The excursion from
Lockport and vicinity on the steamer
Alexander brought a nice crowd and
added materially to the progress of
the fair. The steamer Louisiana did
not bring as large a crowd as was ex-
pected. The Thibodaux Brass Band
furnished music for the occasion, and
such nice, sweet music, one cannot
soon forget. Perhaps the most inter
esting feature of the fair, WAS a
mule race. The road was but "a slush
OF mud, but this did not dampen the
spirit of the racers. Tie contest vas
between a ''white spirited mule from
the Mary plantation and another "ma-
room from the Upper Ten plantation.
The Upper Ten mule being the slowest
won the race. 1t is needless to say
that the winning mule was treated
quite royalty. His racer bought IA bot
tie OF Chatreuse for him at the fairs
auction. We have not been informed
as to the total results obtained, but
we feel safe to say that they were very
satisfactory to the management.
Judging from the way some of our
boys carried on we imagine they must
have elected good answers from their
best girls. Wonder who is that sweet
little dark-eyed creature who bought
that big bunch of bananas for only 10
cents? And who said that John Bill
got left last Sunday night? Not much
OF it, DE-. g.. You know better than
that. True, there was lots of mud,
but when IL fellow intends to make !;
mash there is nothing to stop him.
Why, he'll pull through mile three
feet deep.
AS We sit down to chronicle YOU We
are handed a good slice of silver cake
with tie compliments Of Mr.. and Mrs.
L. Carlin. Miss Mo!iie Roberts was
quietly married this 1t. IN. to handsome
Mr.. Edwin CaIlin. of Gibson City, La.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Father NiyrouN ut the residence of the

ple,iett for their future home in Gibson

Mr.. Jean Baptiste Eugene Duchamp,
Ia native. of the Island Of Martinique,
but. for the last forty years u resident
of st. Martin, recently departed this
life in that parish at the advanced age
Of eighty-two years.
We deeply regret to learn of the
resignation of Judge Conrad Debaillon
of this, the twenty-fifth judicial dis
trict. During the past five years he
has discharged the arduous duties OF
his high Office with Il zeal, an ability
and a cOnscientiousness which have
won for him the confidence and esteem
of the public, and the remembrance OF
which we hope will be as gratifying to
him as it has been to his friends. The
reasons which have prompted the
Judge to lay down the ermine in the
prime of life and in the morning of q
judicial career full of promise, we
know not. In retiring he carries with
him the sincere regrets Of II people
and their best wishes for his success
He has made for himself a recorl
which not every judge can equal. W.
hope the Governor may, in the exer,
else of his appointment, select IA worthy
successor.-TNe Meridional.
