The thanks of the Union are rendered
to Mr.. Donier who so kindly favored us
with selections on the cornet. Mrs.
Lastrapes was piano accompanies.
Their sweet music WAS highly appre-
ciated.
Early in June Mrs. Lull, of Mississippi,
will favor Opelousas with one or more
lectures. AS the lady has the reputation
of being a fine speaker we anticipate a
real treat.
On Thursday evening May 9Th, the
initial parlor social of the w. c. T. L.
attracted to the residence of Judge Gull
lom a goodly company, both of old and
young. In the parlors were seen ma
irons interesting themselves in the
pleasure of the young; on the long gal
leries, promenaders enjoying the moon
light and each other.
Soon the attention OF all was drawn
toward the parlor where all informal
program was furnished,
| To the little folks must be accorded
much of the praise. Little Ludie Yea
| ze rendered piano solo, little Bee
Crawford sweetly recited a temperance
poem, and Masters Wallie and Willie
| Clifford sang a temperance song.
A duartette sung by Mrs. Randle, her
daughter, Miss Mamie, and two sons,
Ross and Robert, was highly compl-
| mented.
Miss Leola White recited Whitticr's
"Angels of Bema Vista.n
Mrs. Settoon sang a ballad, and Mrs.
Lastrapes played an instrumental solo
| in her own inimitable way.
The cornet and piano selection rem
dered by Mrs. Lastrapes and Prof. Do
nier was a most enjoyable feature Of the
evening.
Every one was hoping Prof. Donier
| would favor them again, but such was
not their pleasure they can now but
| wait and hope for future opportunity
of hearing him.
Violin music possesses charm pc
culiarly its own, and Judge Cullom's
rendition of Hear me Normal was
thoroughly enjoyed.
Later in the evening the dining room
was the scene of action and the center
of attraction. The refreshments pre-
pared by the committee Of which Mrs.
C. J. Thompson was chairman, received
their deserved attention.
| Miss Titine Lastrapes deserves much
credit for the success Of the social.

Children Cry for Pitchers Castorla..

According to the French newspapers
q chemical engineer near Nantes has
been making some experiments in po-
tato growing which exhibit rather re-
markable results. He has succeeded in
getting return of forty-two tons an
acre, without using any of the improved
or expensive varieties. This is how he
claims to have done it. He plowed his
ground deeply and dressed it richly.
Before planting the seed potatoes he
STEPPED them for twenty four hours in
bath composed of suphate of am
monia and nitrate of potash, Of each six
pounds to twenty five gallons of water.
He allowed them to stand afterward
twenty four hours before planting, so
as to allow the germs time to swell.

Any farmer would rather live in a
country where there are good roads, so
he could get his goods to market when
prices are most favorable; any mer-
chant would rather live in a country
where there are good roads, so his cur
toners could come and trade with him
at all times of the year; any physician
would rather live in country of good
roads so that he could make profession
al calls without serious difficulty any
minister, any teacher, any professional
every body, prefers to live in a commu-
nifty of good roads.

There was an increase in the importa-
ton of sugar, because it was cheaper,
of 760, 454, 91G pounds or 81 1-2 per cent.
The increase in the consumption was
even greater because the domestic pro-
ductlOn was larger, so that the effect of
the law was to increase the amount of
sugar used in this country nearly 30 per
cent, making the average amount con-
sumed per capita G9.8 pounds, as against
Sc pounds in 1890. The Uuited States
is now by long odds the largest consul
mer of sugar in the world. 1t is still
slightly behind England in the consum-
ption per capita, but in another year
will catch up to that country and the
amount Of sugar used by a people it
may be remarked incidentally seems to
be one of the best evidences of prosper
ity and comfort, and hard times always
show reduced consumption.
At the same time that the change in
the consumption of sugar tho provision
in regard to bounties has had stimu-
lating effect on the sugar industry. both
cane and beet. 1t has caused larger
acreage to be planted in beets and cane;
and it has brought about an increased
production. giving us reasons to hope
that the United States will, in time
raise at home all the sugar needed here.
Under such satisfactory workings of the
law, one can easily appreciate how I'M
wise it would be to make any of those
changes suggested by the marplots and
experimentalists at Washington of
abolishing the bounty, placing refined
sugar on the free list or otherwise tam
pering with the law; in other words, it
would be we'll to leave good enough y
alone.

Senator j. @. Kemp, Hon. ELI Perry,
OF PanOla county, and others who con-
stitute the finance committee are busily
engaged In oyerhauling the books Of
Treasurer Frank Byrd. They are
making very slow progress. The treas
urers books are usually examined an
nually, but this is the first time they
have been examined since 1883. Since
that time over $500, 900 have passed
through the hands OF Mr.. Byrd Al
the present rate OF speed it will con-
sumo fully one month to complete their
work
"But think" said the doctor, that
whom the investigation OF three days
more Is made the report will be APP
proved and accepted Us a whole al
though the committee is rigid and
honest in their examinations.n
Among the many bills introduced was
one by Hon. Smith Paul, aged eighty
three years, father OF tho late Hon
Samuel Paul, who was murdered few
months since by his own son, Joe Paul,

The aged gentleman has been resid-
ing At Santa Barbara, Cal, for ten

cided to remain permanently. Mr..
Paul Introduced bill before the lee
isRture, asking that the Chickasaw
government adopt his four children by
his last wife, who is white
woman, in order that the children
might become his legal heirs 10 u
farm Mr. Paul stated that his trip 10
California had not been q prosperous
one and asked the council TO adopt his
children. The bill was read, but an
old Indian representative got up and
denounced il, His speech was inter-
preted. Among other things he said was
that enough white people wero there
now and he did not think that any
more were needed. Tho bill was
killed.. The session Is quiet and

will come up for consideration before

days GAZETTE, we get tho startling
Information that up TO August s the
gross revenues Of Judge Nugont's cam

nearly 100000 votors wore then en-
rolled on Third party club hsts, and
their average contribution for the good
OF the cause was ono-hundredth part Of
a cent
No wonder Chairman Bentley should
grow somewhat discouraged. Souls
fired with the aoal OF newborn light
should be willing to shell out more than
u paltry fraction OF q cont for the evan
COLLATION. Of a benighted world.
The suggestion Of their campaign
manager that tho contributions necos.

be raised by this sale Of lemonade and

IS worthy Of his hire, aud the Populist
