THE

BOTH FOR $500 A YEAR!

THE GREAT ILLUSTRATED
MON TITLES have in the past sold

printers how The Cosmopolitan, with
its 1886 pages of reading matter by
the greatest writers of the world, and
its 1900 illustrations by clever artists,
could be furnished for $500 a year.
In January, last, 1t put in the most

This is because it devotes much atten-

No other periodical in the world can

Foreign Ministers to the United States

inst | listen n Reason,

There are some people who are al
ways taking things for granted. The
slightest circumstance or the most
trivial act is misunderstood. and I'M
tangible conclusion is jumped at with
the result that an embrcgIio, either
between two persons or with the IN
dividual himself, is brought about.
Now the mind of man was given him
for the purpose of untangling knotty
problems of life, and also to satisfy
himself with the state of things as
they are, in manner which is entire
ly satisfactory. Hence it is not only
nonsense for one to go off at a tan
gent, but in view of ,he natural OPP
portunities given men to avoid it. it is
criminal, especially when
another is injured by the wrong i'm
preston formed by the one who
would not take time to think.
In the matter of orr daily affairs
much uDeasiness can be avoided If we
but listen to reason, and to those who
are dreading the dizziness Of the Sum
mer days we will say, that if you will
come to us we will soon make You
feel yourself at least comfortably off
because everything in our house is so
cheap. We have an excellent stock
of goods and we are selling it at close
figures. Yours truly,

From country friend we have re-
ceived the information that the gold

their aid to them. Knowing that The

Therefore we urge upon all friends of

KEEP THINGS STIRRING,

A few days ago while waiting at

us to make inquiry as to directions
to certain places in the city. We
kindly furnished the information.
He began admiring our new court
house, public building and compli-
mented our town upon its clean ap-
pearance. and upon our street rail-
ways and beautiful residences. He
then paused, and, with bated breath
said: What makes your town so
quietf Being of modest, retiring
disposition" we did not reply at once.
and then with sad look and apollo
gising tone said: Oh, but you are a
cotton town. 1t may be that's the
reason. We said yes; we are a cotton
town and haven't the advantages of
New Orleans. The stranger went his

SANITARY.

We are again urged to say something
to the public on this all important ques-
ton by our sanitary officers. The report
of Councilman Herold at the last meet
ing shows that this matter needs
prompt attention. With the summer
heat in the COS it does not take long to
create foul stencil that stalks abroad
at night, creating disease of all kinds.
All alike are subject to its deadly in
huences. The disregard of this law by
one careless and Indifferent neighbor

or more homes. 1t behOoves the Board
of Health to be watchful and diliyent

CRANDELL FOR POSTMASTER.
l. This The Hand of John \. Norris

l. This The Hand of John 4. Morris?
1t has been suggested that the Jealous
desire of Winchester Crandcll to secure
the postmastership of New Orleans is
not for the mere sake of securing this
position. important a. it is.
but the purpose of aiding
John A. Morris to circulate his lottery
matter in the city of New Orleans
through this postofice.
This is plausible theory. With the
lottery established in Honduras. New
Orleans will furnish a splendid distri-
butingrpoint, and as Crandell was willing
to kill for John, 10 bride for him or do
any other detestable work that seemed
would he not again assist
his old friend, if it was made to his adj
vantage to do so? and if reports are true
John is very generous with his tools.
1t strikes us that tins is matter
hi,h Messrs. White, Blanchard and
the other members of Congress who
fought the lottery so hard, should look
into, for from past experience we are
sure that Col. a. w. Crandell will bear
watching.
