The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1890-01-29
Agent at Alexandria, La.

t. Timothy Davis, postmaster at Pat
tersonville, La, says: "Some years ago,
while living in Algiers, 1 contracted 4
cough that every one thought would
cause my death. was unable to sleep,
had night swcats, and soon became too
weak to work. / had several doc4ors and
tried many remedies, but with no i'm
provement. An old friend hearing of my
condition recommended DR.. Davis Com
pound Syrup Of Wild Cherrp and Tar.
1t had cured him of a serious lung 'tr0u-
BILE, and he had great confidence in Davis
! Wild Cherry and Tar. Before three bot
ties had been taken was up and about,
a we'll man. 1t saved MY life. I always
recommend it for consumption, asthma,
| bronchitas, any lung or thraat trouble"
One dollar bottlvs hold two ond half
| times as much as a SOC. bottle.
1t will be remembered that few
weeks since some of the Hebrew mcr-
chants of Delhi were given notice, by un-
known parties, that they must leave the
Parish. This mode Of lawlessness was
severely and properly condemned by the
press at the time. Another notice has
been given to the same parties, as will be
seen from the following dispatch to the
Times Democrat under date of Jany. 2lst:
The following notice was found Sunday
morning tackled to the store house of S.
Blum g. Co.:
HEED!
Not long ago we notified you to leave
town, but you have not done so. This
time we want you to heed us, for none Of
us want to be accountable for your souls
We are not murderers and don't want to
be, unless you force us. Understand u.s.
There will be bloodshed unless you heed
us this time. This is what we propose
You shall do, and you must do it: Stein &
Blum, Hirsh & Pulver, can do business
here on this condition, and this alone
that by the Goth of January they dis
charge every Jew clerk they have and
have their places filled by Gentiles. We
do not gropose that any one shall do bust |
ness among us and the Jew take all the
money. Now, we will say to the Jew !
boys: Go! If this is not done by the Goth, |
you, one and all, pack your lives in your
own hands. We mean just what We say. |
But We hope you will not force US. Ben
Stein, you may remain and will be unmo- |
Tested. Heed this time. or you will new.
er have another opportunity of doing so.

YoUNG's POINT CUT.-From Capt. VIM.
Robson and others we learn that late
Saturday night, or rather early Sunday
about 200 men and forty teams,
with plows, scrapers, etc., were
put to work cutting ditch across point
IF land on the plantation OF Col. John S.
Young, OH Red river, in Bossier Parish,
known as Young's Poiht. The men and
cams worked increasingly all day Sunday
md at dark ditch 2sO yards in length
ind fifty feet in width had been compile
ed, and doubtless the water ere this is
'unning through it at rapid rate. This
'oint, which is in very ugly part of the
liver, about twenty miles below this
,lace, has long been an obstruction to
and this cut will shorten the
distance in the river four and half
niles, and it is said will relieve both the
Caddo and Bosser sides from overflow. |
