iHt NASH CASE AFFIRMED,
The Blind Goddess Still Held the Balance
of Equality Over the Citizens
of Caddo.

OF CQdaiH UFer lno Glu1enS
J of CaddO.
On Tuesday last the Supreme Court
with Justice BreauA ~ is mouth
piece, affirmed Judge Taylor's decis-
ion IN the Nash case. This means
that, unless executive clemency or
other influence intervenes, the accused
will pay the penalty of his deed on
the gallows on the day which the
governor shall set.
Not since the days of reconstruc-
tion, when the entire State of Louis
lana was redeemed from profigacy,
has greater triumph been gained
for peace and order to the good peo-
pie OF Caddo parish, as has been Sc
cured by the Nash convection.
No one rejoices over the fate of
this misguided man. Humanity
would revolt at jubilation over such
an occurrence, for whatever may be
the disposition of any individual life,
which is God-given alone, is sacred
thing, so sacred that all civilization
hold, it in reverence
But aside from this; from the stand
point of society, good government,
law and order, peace and harmony ill
this community, the conclusion of
this case will cause a feeling Of secu-
rity to enter the hearts of many men
women and children, taking the place
Of grave fears and apprehension for
the laws supremacy The law has
been vindicsted, lawlessness de-
throned, the vicious class taught to
respect its DEGREES, and now The
PRoGREss' mission is ended in this
,ase, unless some further attempt be
made to yet throttle the law.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN,
i VIII Be Worth Your While.

Eternal vigilance is the price OF
liberty" said some big parsonage, the
real identity of whom is beyond
memory's call just now. But we are
not going to enter into discussion
OF the truth or falsity of that declar-
alton, because in would interest
neither our readers nor ourselves.
We will havessomething to say, how
ever, which will prove beneficial to
those who pay attention.
The question of how to live will be
an important one for the next twelve
months. Bear in mind we say how
to live. not how t. exist. The former
means considerably more than Just
barely keeping the body clad with
the cOmmonest texture, and keeping
body and soul together by the aid of
just a sufficient morsel OF bread to
keep the blood flowing fast enough to
keep mp animation This condition
Is the state of him who simply exists
Our aim is to elevate mankind above
this! And this we will do if our read
ers will but consider their own inter
ests. We have one of the best stocks
Of dry gods that has ever been
brought to North Louisiana. 1t is
in every department, from
,ancy to staple articles. We have q
inc assortment of dress goods, ready
made, clothing, overcoats, boots, shoes
hats, and a splendid stock of ladies' and
cents underwear and everything else
Usually kept in first-class dry goods
