sad Death OF Tom Ballard, - Well Known
sign Writer.
Tom Ballard, a well known painter in
the employ OF Ramsey & Stuart, is no
more.
Shortly before midnight last evening
he was discovered by George Wallace
lying prone upon the ground at the cor
ner Of Fifth aud Limestone streets. He
was unconscious, and all efforts to arouse
him failed The patrol wagon was tele'

had died, the blood gushing from mouth
and nose.
He was tenderly placed In the wagon
and conveyed to the home Of his widow
cd mother, Mrs. Barnett, on Jefferson,
between Third and Fourth. She was
grief.stricken at the death of her son,
and several ncighbors came in To console
her aud sit up with the body.
Tom Ballard was an unmarried man,
about 35 years of age, and painter by
trade. For the last twelve or fifteen
wears he has been confirmed drinkcr.

Suddenly, however, about ak weeks ago
the old passion came back upon him with

Since then he has grown worse an'

debauch.

"A difficulty arose between Mr..

liam Boucvalt Saturday night last
at the Fournet's Saloon. Mr..
Boucvalt was under the influence
of liquor; he was severely beaten
by Mr.. VOORHEES,, Mr.. Boucvalt
challenged Mr.. VOORHEES, and a
duel was agreed upon to take place
Monday in the forenoon. They
were to fire three shots ut 20
PAGES. The principals and the
seconds were on the ground to
complete the preliminaries, but
there n delay was caused, we are
told, because VOORHEES, objected to
fight with 80 Caliber Revolvers,
which were brought as he was
used to a Al Caliber, and insisted
that such be used, before the last
named arms could be procured, a
constable armed with a warrant
arrived on the ground in all haste,
to disarm the dulist and place
them under arrest, which he did
and brough. them to a justice of
the peace, who put the antagonists
under peace bond. And thus
ended the hostilities.
The new board OF trustees
took charge OF the administration
of this town on the rs of April,
the Mayor was appointed at that
meeting and the State authorities
were informed of that fact, with
request that the Mayor be COM
missioned in order to give him
the power to act as a police judge,
and impose upon violators of the
peace fines and Imprisonment,
which he cannot do unless vested
with such power by a commission
from the Governor. There have

LOulSiana's Timber.
A Magnificent Inheritance That
is Being Thoughtlessly Fritted

10 OoinS IHouSntleSSly frltted
Away.
Louisiana possesses no greater
bank of wealth than that tied IN
IN her magnificent forests. We
would be recreant to the interests
of the state, general, and every
particular portion of it, did we
not raise our voice in warning
against the profligate and entirely
useless waste Of this noble inheri-
lance. A gift of nature and ma
lures god, intended to be a bless
ing to man for ages to come.
Magnificent trees that have
been growing for century in Or
der to reach their grand propor-
tons, ace thoughtlessly cut down
and destroyed, in many instances
without even an effort to utilize
the wood for fuel or building pur-
poses. In other instances, owners
of land adjacent to railroads, level
magnificent forests of splendid
white oak, the most desirable of
all the trees that grow on our hill
and valley lands and convert a
portion of tho wood into railroad
ties, nine feet long and seven inch
face, while they deliver alongside
the railroad track at from % cents
to 80 cents each.
The miserable price obtained
jus; about pays for the labor of
getting out and hauling, and that
at a very low estimate on its va
lue, The timber itself il abso-
luteiy given away, while the ow-
ner of the land is compelled to put
in a lot more labor, for which he
receive no pay, cleaning the tops
and other debris, in case he wants
to use the land for pasture or
other purposes.
We simply give the above as
one illustration how thoughtlessly
our people are giving away an in
heritance, which, if properly hus-
banded, Would be to them q source
of wealth for ages to come. 1t
will not be long until they awake
to a realization Of these facts, but
we fear it will be too late, for then
the substance will have been was
ted, while haught but the shadow
remains.
The great difficulty with our
people is that they do not appre-
ciate the value of timber. To
them it has been an circumference
ON the ground, and their only
thought WAS how to get rid of it
at the least cost. Had Louisi-
anains ever lived in the great
treeless regions of Texas, Kansas,
the Dakotss and Montana, they
would have some appreciation of
the value of timber. AS it is they
must, we presume, learn by exper-
fence, a dear and relentless teach
or, but one whose lessons are ne
yer forgotten.
There are some small farmers,
and even some large planters, who
have squandered their timber,
and who are now casting about for
something to build fences, cribs
and barns with. When they have
to buy from neighbors and haul
quite Il distance they begin to rra-
lie the true value of timber.
1t is not the home demand, by
any means, which is going to set
the value IN timber. Think, if
you can, of the immense acreage of
prairie lands in Texas, Mexico,
Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming,
Montana, Idaho, Utah, the two
