you have seen the Improved Sixsho-

We do not ask you to take any risks,
nor to experiment with an implement
that is not an assured success. Our
cultivator is capable of thoroughly
working from 60 to 100 acres, and
even with our system of labor here in

New Orleans Needs a Hotel.

The New Orleans people should
certainly move IN the matter of put
ting up hotel-one that will be able
to accommodate "few' Of the folks
that annually attend Mardi Gras, and
have to go to private boarding houses
and be subjected to all sorts of treat
ment in the way of poor food, poor
beds, ETC., and then pay exorbitant
rates sat the boot"
The country people of this State,
Us also Northerners who go there in
the Winter, whilst they are not in
clined to openly Chick" and growl
over this nuisance, as it were, don't
like it bit, and If the crowds fall
short on these occasions in future, it
will be traceable to but one thing,
viz: poor hotels that charge high
prices, and give poor returns.
The Times Democrat has very SEN
sibly alluded to this matter, and knows
whereof it speaks. A Northern OF
Western city, with as many people as
New Orleans, would have three, foul
OF more tirst-clcss hotels - large
enough to accommodate any number
of visitors.
As to the Crescent City private
boarding house racket, why it's higl

ing more. The Alexandrians VIII
were present at Mardi Gras will will
inely attest to all we have said l
this article. When theys go again,

the city is not so crowded, and whe
they won't be overcharged for foo

Protect Your Lungs.

Winter is harder on the Lungs than on
any other part of the body. Its chilling
breath comes dangerously close to their
warm and delicate tissues. Its icy .hand
almost touches them. The one thing,
therefore, to do in winter, above all things
else, is to protect the LUNGS. But If
through carelessness or by unavoidable
exposure, you should contract Cold, or
be laid up with Pneumonia, or Bronze hitis,
or Plcurisy, or that dreaaest of all Lung
diseases, Consumption, do not delay mo-
ment but get bottle of PE-RU-NA and
commence taksng it at once. Yon will
be both surprised and delighted at your
rapid recovery. If your Bowels happen
to be out of order at the same regulate

but effective laxative. Only 81 bottle

The House committee on public build

appropriation from 100000 to $50, 600.
However, half loaf of bread is better
than no bread at all, and our Alexandria
friends will no doubt return thanks ac-
cordingly.-[Trinity Herald.
Yes, quite true, neighbor But then
we don't see why the appropriation
should be cut in half. Alexandria is
justly entitled to the original sum
named in the bill, 100000, and we
believe our congressman will get it
for us too. We have waited patiently
in this matter, and are sure OF
winning in the end.
