Come out and see

Hon. David Davis tells the
frozen truth when he says;
Each year every local paper
gives from 500 to $1,000 in free
lines for the benefit Of the com
munity in which it is located.
No other agency can or will do
this. The country editor in pro.
portion to his means does more
for his town than any other te.,
men, and in all fairness, man
with man, he ought to be sup.
ported, not because you hap
pen to like or admire his writ
ings but because a local paper
is the best Investment a com
munity can make. 1t may not
be brilliant or croweded With
great thoughts, but financially it
is of more benefit to a communl-
ty than preacher or teacher
Understand US now, We do not
mean morally or Intellectually,
but financially. and yet on the
moral question you will find the
majority of the local papers ar5
on the right side Of the question
To-day the editors Of the local
papers do the most work for th2
least money Of any meu Jn
earth. Subscribe for your homo
paper, not as a charity bur II

GENERAL ITEMS.

NEATNEsS IN GIRLs.-Neatness is
a good thing for a girl, and if she
does not learn it when she is
young, she never will. 1t takes a
great deal more neatness to make
a girl look well than it does to
make boy look passable. Not
because boy, to stert with, IS bet
ter looking than a girl, but his
clothes are of different sort, not
so many colors in them, and peo-
pie don't expect boy to look SO
pretty as girl. \ girl that is
not neatly dressed is called a
sloven, and no one likes to look at
her. Her face may be pretty and
her eyes bright, but if there is a
spot of dirt on her cheek, and her
fingers ends are black with ink,
and her shoes are not laced or
buttoned up, and her apron is
lirty, and her collar is not buttOned
and her skirt is torn, she cannot
be liked. Learn to be neat, and
when you have learned it, it will
almost take care of lf.-Chris-

THE REDEMPTION OF STATE
The Louisiana State election was
held last week. Although the lot
terry managers had published their
withdrawal of application for a
new charter, yet 1t was feared that
they were secretly trying to man
ipulate the elections. Two Dem
ocratic tickets were in the field,
that led by Foster being recog-
nized as anti-lottery, and that
headed by McEnery as lottery.
Foster was elected by over 10000
majority. This is the mortal
stroke to the lottery. One by one
the tentacles of this devil fish have
been cut off, and now the octopus
is dead. We lift our hat to Loui-
siana.
The fight and the grand result
show the irresistible power OF
public opinion. This caused the
passage of the law excluding lot
terry business from the mails
This encouraged the decent peo-
pie of the State in what seemed at
first a hopeless fight. This at last
resulted in that organization and
union which are essential in fight.
ing organized and desperate oppo-
sition. When the people are en-
lightened, disciplined, and wisely
led, as in this case, nothing can re.
sist them. We congratulate the
New Orleans Christian Advocate
on this grand consummation
which it royalty helped to achieve
1t may have lost several sub
scribess from those who believe
that preachers and religious pa
pers should use only moral sua
sion on men aud institutions thai
admit no moral law, but these
feeble notes are unheard in the
swelling chorus of almost univer
sal Joy. "'Twas a famous vic
tory"

the saloons and in favor of closine

The farming interest of the par
ish is somewhat backward, work
being retarded by too much rain.
The last Legislature passed a
labor law, but it was declared I'M
constitutional by the Supreme
Court. 1t had a very wholesome
effect in regulating farm labor.
One should be ne-snacted that
would stand the test of courts. 1t
would be of more benent to the
farmer than any law that can be
passed. We call the attention of
our representatives, Messrs. Pey-
ton and Elan, to the matter, and
in behalf of the public, urge them
to give it their special attention.

TIE PROGRESS coinsides with
our contemporary on this question
and respectfully calls the atten-
ton of Senator Currie and Repre-
sentatives WATSON and Phillips to
the necessity of passing such a
bill. From a personal knowledge
of the question we know that such
a law is very necessary and that
the one passed worked splendidly
until annulled by the Supreme
Court.

Last Sunday morning just be-
fore day this section was visited
by a most terrific electrical storm
and deluge of rain. Lightning
struck the telegraph and telephone
wires near the railroad depot, and
was conveyed to the instruments,
which were shattered, and from
sheer good luck the Office was not
ignited- Several trees were also
struck, but no very serious dam
age has been reported. Natchi-
