The Police Jury met on Wednesday
and transacted a great amount fbusi-
ness. A large petition was presented
to them by the taxpayers and resi-
dents of the parish asking them TO
repeal the no-fence-law that went into
effect Oh the LIST of November. They
deferred action on the matter until
their next meeting. The law should
be repeaied-the majority of the people
want it repealed. The hardships that
this law has imposed on poor people
since it has been in force amount
almost to confscation. There are
hundreds of cattle right now in
pastures taken up by owners and over
seers of plantations. The charges
per head are from one to twelve,
and as high as fifteen dollars. in some
instances. We know ola poor colOred
man who had two COWS taken up and
had 10 give one of them to get the
other released. Ii the country was in
a prosperous condition, perhaps there
might be some excuse for enforcing
this very unjust law; but the country
is not prosperous; and the people are
in . poorer condition than they have
been in for years, and to try to enforce
this law makes it all the worse, and
especially when the majority of the
people of the parish ask for its repeal.
We believe the Police Jury wants TO do
what is as near right as possible, and
between now aud their meeting in JAN
uary, will have time to learn all the facts
about this question aud come prepared
to repeal this obnoxious law.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds hest products to
the needs of physical peing, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas,
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction TO millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable Substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
