By malarial disease, the human ma
chinery cannot half perform its office.
Digestion, secretion, evacuation are dis
ordered, the blood becomes watery, the
nerves feeble, the cOuntenance CHASTITY,

Terrible is this disease, fell its conse-
quences. There is, however, a known
antidote to the miasmatic poison, and a
certain safeguard against it. In malar-
iOus regions Of our South and West, in
South America, Guatemala and on the
Ishmus of Panama as well as in trans
marine countries where the scourge ex-
lists. this inimitable preventive and re-
medy, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, has,
during the last thirty-five years, been
constantly widening the area Of its use

value, Liver complaint, dyspepsia, con.

At LOreauville, the gins are paying
$500 per 1900 pounds for cotton, while
at this place the price paid is only $500.
Last year prices here ruled as high as
$4,000. due largely to the short crop.
The staple is not being brought to this
market in quantities that it should he,
and our cotton buyers should not be slow
in discovering the evil and applying the
proper remedy. II bad roads are cause
OF cotton and other products going else
where for shipment our local dealers
should join in the agitation OF this sub
ject in earnest and not rest until the pro-
per repairs are secured. The fact that
Loreauville has shipped over 800 bales
this year while this place has shipped
less than 100 shows what the difference
in prices paid for the seed cotton will do.

What Are They?

As it appears we have some of the
old stock of orthodox Democrats in this
parish, ard in this town especially, We
would like 70 have their opiOnion on the
following questions. viz:
What will they call man who recon-
mended negro for appointment to u
Democratic administrations
What will they call a man who run
on Republican ticket in opposition to
the Democratic nominee?
What will they call man who visited
the negro cabins at night to secure his
vote?
What will they call man who made
a campaign in favor of a regular Repu-
Lblican candidate against the regular no
minee of The Democratic party?.
What will they call man who refus-
ell to submit to the dictate Of his party
and accepted the nomination or endorse
ment OF the RepublicaIsy :,
What will they call a man who helped
the Republicans to secure their election?
And this, in time when the negro
vote was worth something, was it Demo
cracy and White Supremacy?
Well those same men have the cheek
and audacity 10 call Republican those
who refuse 10 be their willing and plant
tools.
1t is not cur purpose to 90 lback into
the past ard bring out the sins Of our
politicians, but we want them to under
stand that those who appose them to-day
are not in the negro ranks, but they are
opposing ring Of politicians, within
the ranks of the white people Of this par
ish. The people must rule and down the
politicians.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is bv constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed cOndi-
tiOn Of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets in
famed YOU have rumbling s9and or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are causeh by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inilamed cOndi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that we cannot cure by taking Halls Ca
tarrh Cure. Send for circulars. free.

Several horses have been stolen from
the yards OF some of our people the past
week by night providers who used them
during the night and turned them loose
in the morning. Some OF them have
been taken lockei'up in the yard, and
even in the stable. These vagebonds
should be watched and when caught pro-
secuted to the full penalty Of the law.
Since the Fause POinte freight comes
to this station to be shipped by the stea-
mer Octavia which makes trip almost
every day of the week, the depot, swift
ches and platform are not sufficient for
the handling of such a large amount OF
freight. The locomotive will prOre too
weak and the incline method of loading
and unloading is too slow, and We may
soon expe ct s6me changss and improve
ments about the depot,
-H.C. WOrmoth has been selected by
the Republicans of the first cOngressiOn-
al district as their candidate against
Gen. AdOlph Meyer, the democratic no
minee. They have put an anti lottery
plank in their platform, as WormOth is
a pronounced anti. Will the anti-demO-
Gratis vote for WOrmOth in preference to
Meyer the lottery democrat? This will
undoubtly be cause of considerable
combinations by the bosses, but we shall
watch the result.

Branch Progressive Leage of
the Parish cf St. Martin.

The Progressive League Of the Parish
of St. Martin was organized at st. Mar
tinville La, on Sunday September 2Sth,
at Duchamp's Hall. The meeting was
composed Of leading White Democratic
voters of the different wards of the Parish.
Robert S. Day, ESQ, Of New Orleans,
President of the League, called the meet
ting to order, and delivered an address
which was we'll received. He stated that
he favored the licensing Of the Lottery
Busires purely as business matter.
He thought that Louisiana was in great
need of money for Levee School and Ot-
her purposes, and that in order to raise
the needed amount, direct taxation would
have to be resorted to. And that in as
much as we live in an Agricultural
State, this direct taxation would fall
most liehvily upon our Farmers. That
by securing an amount of $1,2o0OOO in
the form of Il License for Lottery Bnsi-
ness, the needs of Louisiana could and
would be amply provided Tor, and the
Farmers relieved of heavy and burden
some taxes.
The following officers were elected:
P. ID. Olivier, President; Alexander Thi-
bOdeaux, Vice-President; Arcade Patin,
Treasurer; and Dan ". VOORHEES,, Secreta-
ry.

'pointment Of the following committees.
