get ready for tomorrow morning, the
train will pass at Cade at about seven

Sunday and Monday were quite
rainy, in fact, it was Il general down
pour and our street were in consequence
made very muddy.
The rainy weather is retarding con-
siderably the work of those who were
inundated who need fair weather to pre-
pare their land and repiant their crop.
Quite number Of our people speak
Of taking in the Alexandria excursion
to morrow. The train will pass at Cade
at about seven O'Clock in the morning.
Be wise in time. You have too
many gray hairs for one SO young look

Our bOari of trustees did great
thing when they beat the Messenger ont
OF the corporation printing. But let
them see the result Of court of justice.
A bill has been introduced i'm the
Legislature for the establishment of an
insane asylum in the northern part OF
the state. We hope this bill will be-
come law.
We expected the result of the last
meeting of the town council, now let
them wait for the result of the court. |
Justice shall prevail Notwithstanding
the town council.
Remember if you want to visit the
quaint old and progressing new Alex
andria tomorrow is the day of the ex-
cursiOn. 1t is trip that is fully worth
the money it will cost.
We extend our thanks to P. L. and
F. T. Guilbeau, cadets of the Louisiana
State University and Agriculture and
Mechanical College, Baton Rouge, for a

Our planters ara experiencing con
siderable trouble with the WORMS; the
least scratch on any animal will breed
immense quantities of these vermins,
and unless the animals are attended to
they soon die.
Our bakers ara having little war

lOaves is what one gets for one dollar.
This is indeed cheap bread and our poor
people do not object to this kind OF war
in the least. This racket cannot last
any lenght of time.
