nv Il DORMANT STAGE.
There appears to be but little talk
in regard to the filing of a vacancy,
in the lower house, from this parish,
occasioned by the appointment of
Mr. Overton Cade to the superin-
tendency of the mint in New
Orleans.
Likely this silence is the ominous
precursor of the storm. Indeed, the
calm is so intense that not whisper
disturbs the ear. But, then, there
is ample time to prepare for the
fray.
We said not whisper is heard
we mean at the present moment. 1t
is true that name or two has es-
capped some partisan or warm per-
sonal friend, but these names, it is
difficult to ascertain. if they have
caused any but the slightest ripple
on the unusually placid surface.
That more than one nag is being
quietly groomed, is within the
DOuil1iS u 1SdSOAdO1S OSuuNIlOIiS,
SO that when the time comes they
will be entered with a great flourish
of trumpets, to create enthusiasm
and engender confidence in their
sure winning. But, as Burns has it,
ssthe best laid plans of men and
mice aft gang ablee," and it is GER
tain to so result in more instances
than one.
Some time since, our valued cor
respondent Cherokee, in replying
to another of The Gazette's valued
correspondents query regarding the
quietness about this matter, intimat-
ed that the future representative of
this parish is selected, and that the
only thing remaining was the form
atty of declaring him elected, be-
cause the votes would SO determine.
We do not agree with our friend:
and he will forgive us if we think he
is just little previous in his con-
illusions. We do not think that a
single person has been seriously
talked off-this with all due defer
ence to our good friend "Totidem
Verbs" who, some time since, sug-
gested one surmised to be Mr.. G. c..
Brown, as a most suitable person.
We are not taking issue with him in
regard to the gentleman's qualifca-
tions, on the contrary we cheerfully
acquiesce in his views.
However, the time must come
when every aspirant's forces must
be marshalled to the front. Tha;
there is much good timber to select
from is conceded. This election
will be of momentous Importance,
in view of the fact that United
States senator will be elected at the
incoming session of the legislature,
and the report or suggestions of the
Constitutional committee will also
be submitted to that body for ac-
ton. Hence, it behooves the peo-
pie to be careful in their choice.
The Gazette has no favorite, anc
will be content with the man fairly
selected by white primaries, helc
under the auspices of the Democra-
tic Parish Executive Committee
With us it is a matter of vital i'm
portance to preserve and keep intac
the party organization. Within tn.
party there is abundance of splendid
material from which to select a re
preventative, in whose hands tn.
interests of the people can be safel,
| entrusted.

entitled to representation So the
thing would go on 0d i,.,fnff1zns.
ssToo many cooks will spoil the
broth" is a very homely, but truth
full adage, and applies with peculiar
force to the question now at issue.
The parish school board is vested
with entire control of all public
schools within the parish, and has
no authority to delegate its powers
to any person or association of per-
sons, even were the necessity of
such actioH>to be considered a mo-
ment.
1t, therefore, follows very conclu-
sively that if the High School is to
be public institution, it must be
placed under the exclusive contro
and management of the parish
school board. The board is fully
competent, and through its presi-
dent is already negotiating for the
services of an able professor to take
charge of the school. Divest this
entire matter of all personal or poll
teal considerations, and the solu-
ton, of any conflicting interest,
will vanish as the mist. Let there
be harmony and unity of purpose
in this most vital enterprise, and its
success will be assured.

The efficacy of DR.. Leslie E..
Keeley's Double Choloride Of
Gold Remedies has been 80 pub
licly acknowledged and thoroughly
recognized throughout the civilized
world, that the recent endorsement
by the Government removes all

contract with The Leslie e. Kelley
Co for the use of DR.. Keeley's
Remediesin the seven Natinal

General. Franklin, in a letter
regarding this contract and DR..

from such large. institution and
50 many boys inexperienced in
boarding school life. The first
trouble was with The laundry, and
that has been corrected. The sec

was the drill. Still another trouble
was the inferior walters at the

Prof. Craighead, to get at the
facts about the meat and meat,
took his place with the boys and
ate at their tables for several days.
To correct the waiter business,
he proposed that tho boys take
turns waiting on the tables, which
proposition met the approval of
the students, and the negro walters
were discharged. To his honor,

Civilize Your Fruit Tress.
Fruit trees in their natural state

Fruit trees in their natural state
grow too much wood and, con-
sequently, their fruit is small.
One reason why trees produce
larger fruit when s'tamed" is be-
cause they are trimmed of their
surplus limbs and. suckers, which
gives thes.fruit neurishment. The
same map be said of vines of all
sorts. A writer in the Philadelphia
Enquirer has exact ideas on this
subject. Here is what he says:
Do not let your fruit trees grow
to much wood. This is a prolific
cause of non-fruitage. Many peo-
pie who feed and cultivate their
trees are surprised sand at a loss
to explain why they will not bear,
when the reason is simply that
they are producing SO much wood
that they cannot produce anything
else. Summer pruning is q very
good way to prevent this if you
only begin in it in time. Then
you can see the new branches as
they start and easily tell which
are superfuous, and while young
their removal is easily accomplis-
hed.but whether you prune in
summer or not you should observe
your trees when in full leaf and
determine then whether they are
too dlense. When the leaves are
off they will not appear 80 much
so,but you want them so the sun
and air can get in to them all the
yeat through. BY only pruning
when the limbs are bare too much
wood is almost always left on.
So long as buyers judge of the
value Of fruit by it's size it will
pay fruit growers to reduce, by
trimming, the number and in
crease the size: :

Jes' 'Possuns.

The senoia Enterprise Gazette
says that as the regular passenger
train was going west from Griffin,
and was about forty minutes late
and the engineer was trying to
make up lost time and consequent
tly running about fifty miles an
hour he was Mortified to see just
about two hundred yards ahead
of him, just as he turned a curve
before he got to Whitewater creek,
a man on the track waving his
coat across the track and over his
head and seemed to be very much
excited. The engineer, thinking of
course that the bridge had been
burned or fallen in, applied his air
brakes, reversed his engine and
shouted to his fireman to Jump.
They both landed safely and the
train it nearly unseated all the
passengers.
"For Gods aske, what's the
matter?" Asked the almost
breathless conductor of the fellow
who had stopped the train.
Sam-for that was his name
answered:
81 jes' wanted to know of you
wanted ter buy some 'possums?"
The engineer tainted, the fire.
man flew back to the engine, and
the conductor looked all about
him for a rock or fence rail to kill
Sam with, and finally felt in his hip
pocket for his pistol fully intent
to kill him on the spot, but he
did not have his pistol and couldn't
find anything to nit him with. He
saw he was in it and after q
moments reflection he told Sam
he would take his oppessums. The
onductor intended to take all
Sans oppossums and leave Sam
standing without paying for them
SO the conductor asked Sam where
they were. The engineer had re-
covered himself, the fireman and
about two-thirds of the passengers
had COTTON up to the engine and
eagerly looked for Sam to bring
in about a dozen big fat oppossums,
but Sam simply said to the con-
ductor:
"Well, I hain't got um here, but
these here woods up here is jes
chuck full um and I will ketch
you three or four and bring um
down some time"
Four strong men lifted the limp
and almost lifeless form of the
conductor to the train.

Butler said he could show q letter
showing that he did. All of the
speakers were afforded good hear
