The Noted Temperance Evangelist Is
Wounded by a S~coundrel.
Rev. Sam Small, the noted
temperance evangelist, who has been
expounding the doctrines of
prohibition, was shot in the thigh
last night at HazeltOn, fifteen miles
south of Vincennes, Ind. The prOhi-
bitionists have been holding meetings
at Hazleton, and as Small was
to speak in Vincennes on Sun
day he was invited to IIazelton to
speak Monday night. At the evening
session q crowd of toughs from White
River bottoms rushed in and broke
up the meeting and it vas found
impossible to continue the service.
Rev. Small went to his hotel and was
about to retire, when some scOundrel
fred a revolver through the window,
hitting him in the thigh, making a
serious wound.
You do not, any of you, advertise
enough. You ought 80 use printers
ink every day. You are asleep and
want your business to run itself.
Standing advertisements in the paper
command confidence. The man who
for a year lives in n community and
leads a reputable life, even though he
be of moderate ability, will grow in
the confidence and esteem of his fell
lows. On the same principle a news
paper advertisement becomes samil-
lar to the eyes of the readers. 1t may
be seldom read, still it makes the
name and business of the man famil-
lar, and its presence in the columns
of "A paper inspires confidence in the
stability of his enterprise.7-P. I. Bar

1t is evident that Whitclaw Reid is
thoroughly convinced that he will not
be the next Vice-President ofthe Unit
ell States, because short time ago he
and his father-in-law, d. o. Mills,
dropped the sum of $4,000 in the
campaign fund Of their party, but the
other.da the New York Tribune, of
which Mr.. Reid is the proprietor,
sent to the Republican National Com
miitee bill for $4,000 for printing
campaign matter. The incident caus-
ed great deal of amusement at the
rooms OF the Democratic National
Committee and a corresponding
amount of annoyance at Republican
headquarters. The printing bill being
the exact amount of Mr.. Reid's con-
triubtion caused much soft swearing
among the Republican managers, be.
cause of the very bad appearance Of
the thing. and several of them said the
| fact that he had hedged against the re-
suit of the election showed that be
was much fonder of his shekels thar
he was of his party. Reid, however
has covered ais contribution with hi
bill for printing and no doubt there
are other Republicans who would b.
glad if they had the opportunity e
get back the money they put in tn
campaign fund.-States.

The Care Of the Eyes.

Not long ago an advertisement was
read In which an optician promised 10
examine the eyes of all whom came 10
him freeof charge and 10 provide glass
es.for them at moderate rates. Inc
object of this free examination was
evidently to provide customers for the
sale Of the glasses and spectacles. The
advertiser may have been a skilled
oculist and perfectly able to provide
for the needs Of his patients, but is it
worth while to make the experiment
Any one who has ever been threaten
ed with blindness will protest against
running any risk in the treatment OF the
eyes. Sight is The most blessed OF all
OF the five physical senses. Blindness
or the thought of blindness seems like
a living death, aud only those who
have experienced the fear can under
stand it. Do not take any risks with
your sight. Do not experiment or
allow others 10 experiment with your
eyes if they are weak or failing. Eco
onomy of money at the risk of losing
your eyesight is foolishness.
The eve is one of the most delicate
of organs, and easily ruined and the
sight destroyed. There is no excuse
| for negligence in the matter there Is
no use to try home or cheap remedies.
| If your sight is failing, if your eyes
are out of order, hesitate not for e
moment, but consult competent oct-
list at once, and seek none but the best.
Sight is too valuable aud precious TO
be triffei with. Those who have sur
fered will tell you the misery entailed
There are hospitals where the eyes
are treated free in many cities by
the best oculists, SO it is not question
of money. And the warning cannot
be repeated too oflen--do not trifie
with your eyesight under any consid.
eration.-Harper's Bazaar.

Democrats, you who voted for
the white basis Of apportionment at
the primary election of March 22nd,
remember that Judge Gunby, the

sustaining or multiplying a solemn
political agreement of your OWL
making. -Farmersviile Gazette.

along the line, especially in the city

United States Supervisors of cleo


United States Supervisors of cleo
ton have been applied for from
several parishes and Judge Pardee
has been busy making appointments
at the instance of the Republicans
and Third party combine. This has
called from the Baton Rouge Advo-
cate an exhaustive editorial which
very properly closes with the follow
ing ou,spoken warning:
The people of Louisiana are jeal-
Gus of their rights and VIII not
brook any interference with their
liberty on the part of any one while
they are particularly quick to resent
any unwarranted attempts to control
their elections or to intimidate the
voters.
Hence we would warn the THIRD
partyites against the short sighted
policy of bowling for supervisors Of
election when they know full vel
the character of supervisors alway'
appointed and the nature of thu
people with whom they have t.
deal.
The people of Louisiana vii
maintain their liberties at any anC
all hazards and if the blood of an,
Of Louisiana's sons is shed in tn,
coming election in defence of thei
liberties. the responsibility will res
with these political hermaphrodites

Corporal Tanner says he take no

He is in bad fix without either

Sam Jones says that the solid
South will never be split until a
new wedge and glut is found. The
Third party will hardly be able to
knock off small splinter with
such utensils and workmen as it
has.
Uncle Sans pap feeders in this
section hold a different opinion from
Sam with their combines, but they
will never get there.
A special from New York IN the
Washington Post few days ago
had the following:
"Hon. William Pitt Kellogg, of
Louisiana, said that the claim that
the Solid South would be broken
this year was utter nonsense. North
Carolina and West Virginia might
be close, but he thought there was
little hope OF the Republicans carry
ing either. He believed that the
Democrats would win in both Indi
ana and New York by large MAORI
ties.

OUR Cuo.CEFoR CONGRESS.
Hon. C. ]. Boatnef,
or Ouaciiia.
THE aoURD VINE.

The Populites or Third party po-
ftical organization, has been con-
siderable of puzzle to us from its
incipieacy. We have read carefully
all that las come in our way relative
to it and its progress in other States,
Northward and Westward, and en-
deavored TO make sort OF estimate
of its merit, if it had any but it be-
ing at distance, where different
circumstances and different interests
from ours, produced naturally differ
ent motives of action, we concluded
to confine our scrutiny to our own
section In order to avoid error in the
matter, and at the same time arrive
as near as possible at just conclu-
sion.
In sizing up the principal leaders
of the singularly hybrid combina-
ton that so suddenly sprang into ex-
istence, we find the demagogue Wea-
yer, who has been everything to
everybody at all seasons at the head.
Next to him comes L. j. Guice in
this section, and from Guice down
to the ordinary camp follower,
whose party spirit is prodded on by
the love of plumber.
As a matter of course, the readers
of the Banner-Democrat are all famil-
lar with the contents of the good
book called the Bible. We keep II
on our desk. In that book they
will remember reading of the Prophet
Jonah; there are only four chapters
containing forty-eight verses thai
tell all about the prophet. Jonah nc
doubt had been at the beginning al
obedient servant of the great Master
but like many Of those Populite lead
ers, he wanted his own way, ant
would rather hide out than do hi'
duty and obey instructions, which re
suited in his being swallowed by I
whale. Being too hard nut for tn
whale to digest, he was thrown up
but still persisted to kick in tn
traces. He was in very bad way
hungry and without shelter from tn
SUMS scorching rays. A gourd sud
denly grew up and sheltered him
but there was a
WORM IN THE GOURD.
Our impression of all the Thir
party leaders is that they are cor
iirmed political Jonahs, who hay
been swallowed up time and agai
in divers political contests where the
had been hiding out. neglecting the
duty and refusing to obey instru'
tons, and they are now seekin
shelter under the Peoples part
gourd vine that has a worm in it.
We commend the moral of this
those who have any tendency t.
wards Popuiite partizanship, and ais
to the Republicans, who are anxiol
to combine with the Populites.
As far as this State Is concerne,
we well know that with both the R
publicans and Populites it is she
me Cassius or / SINK But in IL
interest of the general good we a
in duty bound to point out to Q
those who differ with us the error
their ways, give them good advi
and show that the future welfare
ti.is, great nation depends on the su
cess Of true Democracy.
