The Produce Tax.

Those who are subject to the produce
tax are warned not to sell their produce
before having paid the tax on same, as
they will put themselves liable to fine
OF $50 per bale of cotton, or 1000 pounds
of sugar or other produces. The Sheriff
has been notified by the board to employ
due diligence for the collection of same.
and In case of negligence on his part to
perform his duty, proper methods will
DO employed to compel him to make the
collection. therefore, those who owe the
tax should be careful not to sell aIy.
thing unless said produce tax is paid.
Ginners and spectators should also be
careful in ascertaining if the tax has
been paid before buying any produce, as
If we understand the law correctly, it is
lien Oh the crop, and may be seized
anywhere, for the payment of said tax.

A Boon for Suffering woman.

II there are times in life that try mems
souls, there are also times that try wO.
mems souls. As wOman's organization
i'm general is more delicate than mans
so she has special functions of fat
more delicate character, which render her
much more liable to arrangement and
disease, and which require much more
skillful and careful treatment. No class
of diseases tests physicians skill or a
medicines efficacy more severely than
Female Diseases. No medicine has ever
proved more successful in the cure Of
such diseases than Pe-ru-na. In that
most trying of periods. which every mid
dle-aged woman must pass through, Pc
ru-na has proved true boon to the sex.
Il had been a great sufferer for three
years." writes Mrs. s. Smith. OF Hillyille,

The bill creating the Atchafalaya
Basin Leyee District, is received here
with TIE greatest indignation and con
dennation. II is bill, if the collection
of the Tax levied by the board is forced,
will depOsscss nearly three quarters of
the poor planters who were OverfiOwed
this year, who lost almost all they had,
of their land. These unfortunate people
will have to pay 10 mills parish tax, 10
mills levee tax, Is mills state tax, 21H
cents tax per acre OF land they possess,
besides. the produce tax. Can they pos
sibly pay such enormous tax. when in
the circumstances they are ROW? And
for what purpose? Have they ever been
protected 10y the levees built with the
money ext0rted from them? No, never!
and their Indignation and condemnation
of such outrageous legislation is proper.
We have heard many expressed the deter
minatiOn to resist this tax and defend
their home and property from this i'm
famous act, with their Winchester and
Rifles. These people will be driven TO
starvation if driven from home for a tax
which they cannot pay, and before their
families are made homeless by infamous
legislation they will protest. 1t is time
the people, especially the farmers take a
hand i'm our politics, elect good, con-
scientioCs anthonest men to offices, and
especially the Legislators.

Before you send out of town for it, call
at T. j. Labbe's and see his assortment
and prices. He has just received 1900
