The X. O., Il. & G. H. Hs.

This is the very latest concerning
the railroads. 1t is taken from the
Natchitoches Enterprise
last Saturday and Sunday, Mr..
G. ID. O'Reefe, one Of the promoters,
and Mr.. B. R. Whitney, chief
engineer of the Kansas City, La,
and Gulf railroad, were in orr city,
comforting with the officers of she
Natchitoches railroad, on the ques.
ton Of a junction between the two
roads. These gentlemen were sen:
here by the Kansas City, La. and
Gulf company to look over the Nine
of route of the Natchitoches road.
and to inspect the road bed of the
tap now in operation, and TO report
upon the ACCESSIBILITY of such asjuuc.
ton between the two roads, as will
give a through line from the Gulf to
Kansas City. From what we learn
we believe such a through line will
be the outcome of the extension oil
Natchitoclles railroad TO The North
ern limits Of the parish. A two
and one half mill tax will absolutely
insure the completion Of our road
for forty odd miles north of rs,
with q reasonable certainty OF d
tbronghline to Kanscs City"
The same paper also states that
the engineering corps have reached
Colfaz, on Red River, and will stop
work until the tax is voted on in
Natehitoches, VIII ich will be on
April lst.

They Must Pay!

Our neighbors of Lafayette are
now very sore over the bill to pay
for the fun they had sometime
ago in the delightful pastime of
regulating their parish. They,
or at least n part of them, seem
to think that the District Attorney,
r. G.. Smedes, went to too great a
length in-summoning a large number
of witnesses for the prosecution Of
tie parties from St. Martin, who
came there, wi.hout any legal right
to medic ID the local election of THE
town Of Lafayette, and they even go
so far as to hint, that his .resigna.
ton will be requested.
Well, we fail to see justifable
grounds for such a move; because,
as, a sworn officer Of the law, he is
compelled to seek the truth, and
therefore; must obtain and produce
testimony in sufficient number and
force, to- demonstrate first, the guilt
of the parties envolved, and, second,
that q large proportion Of the pop
ulation depreeate lawlessness and
high handed measures. Lay they
must, and although it may make a
large raid in their ~ezchequer. they
must also reflect that it is nobody
else fault but theirs, or at least of
those who wanted aud cant to rule,
noiens voLens, il defiance Of all
established laws Of Democratic
freedom.

Medicine In Vegetables.

The following information may be
useful to some at this season of the year,
if not to many: Spinach has dire,t
effect upon the kidneys. A common
dandelion used as greens is excellent
for the same trouble. Asparagus purges
the blood, Celery acts admirably upon
the nervous system and is cure for
rheumatism and neuralgia. Tomatoes
act upon the liver. Beets and turnips
are excellent appetizers. Lettuce and
cucumbers are cooling in their effects
upon the system, Onions, garlic, Ieeks,
olives and shalots, all of which are
similar, possess medicinal virtues Of a
marked character, stimulating the cir
culatory system and the consequcn,
increase Of the saliva and the gastric
juice, promoting digestion Red onions
are an excellent diuretic, and the white
ones are recommended to be eaten raw
as remedy for insomnia.

the upper edges of the boards are
brought together with few short raps,
each man releases his left hand and
grasps his board with both, and sets it

two. Another man follows and grasps
each plant with one hand, pulling the
soil down around it with the other.
After the whole bed has been gone

covered with soil and thick layer is
carried up on the sides of the bed.
The whole is then covered with forest
leaves thickly, and corn, stalks, bean

their blowing off. In this way the
celery can be dug at any time. A
space of eight feet is left between the
beds for soil. and this space is kept
constantly plowed to supply loose earth.
