The following complimentary,

The following complimentary
mention of Bishop Gaileher's sermon
<.at Grace church, Lake Providence,
delivered on the occasion of his visit
to that place last week, we find in the
East Carroll Democrat, Our people
here will read it with great pleasure:
Bishop Galleher's sermon was one
of those terse, aggressive discourses
that compel the attention Of the most
thoughtless and indifferent hearers.
1t was impossible to withdraw ones
attention from what he was saying, for
in earnest and incisive tones he would
every moment or two ring in our ears
the question, "What think We of
Christ ?" His portrait of the God man
was truly sublime in its eatnest elo-
queuce. For forty minutes he kept
the congregation wrapt in woaderment,
as scene after scene in the life of the
Nazarenc was presented to their men
tai vision, ana as he approached near
er saud nearer the portals of light
whither the Master had gone, his Ian
gnasxe seemed to be imbued with the
isspsiht of the surroundings, as in trem-
ulous tones lie closed with the Inquiry,
Snow what think We of Christi"

The committee appointed to in
Aestigate the case of the convict whip.
ping 10 Catahoula parish has made its
report, and as usual justify the peni-
Tertiary bosses. The committee says
the whipping was a moderate one and
was necessary in order to preserve Or
de- and decorum emong the convicts.
The fogging mi ght not have been
unmerciful, but the convict was either
subjected to the most inhuman and
cruel treatment, or else the reporters
Of the New Orleans press have very
much exaggerated the condition of
Miller at the time he was delivered at
the hospital. 1t seems little strange
though that this committee would
come to such confident and deter
mined conclusion in the premises with
out ever seeing the party who claims
to have suffered the punishment. This
is not the first time that we have heard
of these investigations, where interest
ed parties were called on to testify.

An Old Man Fatally Shot.

An Alexandria special, of date the
4th inst, to the Times Democrat, says {:
From reliable information the Times
Democrat correspondent learned this
morning of a shooting at Big Greek,
in Grant Parish, on Saturday last.
james Arlington, who was shot, is an
old man of seventy-four years, per-
fectly harmless, and at the time of his
being assaulted was in lis own house,
together with his daughters. A dance
or sociablc, had been given the night
previous at Arrington's sons house,
and where fuss had taken place, the
participants in the affair being John
and Joseph Talbert and Irvine Vain
wright, who had tried to raise a row
with old man Arrington's son. This
was prevented, however, and the next
morning these same three parties tried
to renew the difficulty and went to
old man Arrington's house and there
shot him in the right side with a pis.
tol. Wainwright has been arrested
and is in Jail. The two Talberts are
still at large, though posse is after
them. Old man Arlington is not ex.
pected to live.
Another account of the difficulty is
as follows which we clip from the Col
fax Chronicle of Saturday:
Irving Wainwright has been arres.
ted and placed in Jail, charged with
shooting and wounding Mr.. AIRING
ton, Of Big Creek, on last Saturday
morning. At the time of the shooting
young Wainwright was in company
with the two Talbort boys, who have
so far escaped arrest. 1t is not know,
who did the shooting. The trouble
originated the night before with a sol
of Mr.. Arlington, and the old man il
said to have been trying to proven
trouble between the young men at thu
time he was shot. His wound is no
thought to be fatal, though yer!
severe.

RED RIVER & COAST LINE VS..
T. & P. RAILWAY.

Of late sort of war has been wag-
ing between the Red River & Coast
Line on the one part, and the Texas
and Pacific Railway Go. on the other,
all of which was in reference to the
line of boats put in Red river by the
Texas and Pacific Railway Co., viz:
the Saterlee and f. B. Wbeelock
that ply between Shreveport and this
point. Both sides are Kicking" at
the actions of the other bad blood
seems to have arisen between the two,
and as to who is right we cannot say.
The Times Democrat of Sunday con-
tains lengthy interviews from Captain
Charles w. Drown, representing the
Red River & Coast Line, and Captain
John A. Grant, representing the Tex
as and Pacific Railway Co.
TO read the statement of one makes
it plain that the other is right to read
the reasons put forth by the other
makes it clearer still. The matter is
in reference to the freight rates charg-
ed in this the Red river trade, and is
pertinent to our people hereabouts.
We look at the matter in this wise:
we think a misunderstanding has ia
ken place between the two parties
one which could and ought to be ami
cably settled, and that, too, to the
best intererts of all concerned.
We are not inclined to censure Ell
Their party for the reason that we be-
lieve both thought they were acting
honestly in the matter.
Captain browns statement on the
subject is clear, and knowing him as
we'll as we do, we wonld not dare say
aught against him and his Company.
Of the Railroad side Capt. Grant
says the boats, Satterlee and Vince
lock, have come to stay end will not
sell out or withdraw.
Thus it seems a dead line has been
drawn; one or the other side is sure to
be wrong; one or the other side will
go under in the struggle.
That the boats of the Railroad
should remain in the trade we all here
are of one opinion. They are feeders,
so to speak, to our Cotton Compress,
and bring here many a bale of the
heecy staple that might be taken to
other markets.

keep you warm. When the buster

mildly invigorating as this same Pc
runa. Sending genial glow through
your chilled system, it will START your
blood Accusing through your veins,
put new life and vigor into you, and
make you feel altogether like a new
man. The effect of Pe-ru-na in this
respect is wonderful, and is manifest

prove its efficiency. For record of
