THAT the bonanza crowd should have
shut down their mine in the Vanderbilt
lodges, argues nothing against the rich
ness OF that camp. 1t is well known to
all mining men that John W. Mackay
got his frat start in life by covering up
a strike in the Hale g. Norcross mine

& O'Brien, could raise money enough to
purchase control of the stock. Van

The first cannon Of industrial en-
terprise has been fired for the little

the two Bayous Castaing, where
they will at once erect . saw.mill
Of 40 horse power, with . capacity
Of about Is, 900 feet Of lumber pei
oay, which will greatly help the L.
boring class. We wish these gen.
tlemen success and prosperity In
their new enterprise.
A very cold wave struck our town

Close thy sweet eyes calmly and without

Al I 10 will trust in God 10 see thee yet

Death has entered the happy
home which was c0nsecrated to
love and contentment, and taken
dear mother from her beloved chill
dren. To her was given . wealth
Of tenderness and affection, the de-
votion and fond love Of her daugh-
tiers, son and grandchildren. She
was loved and esteemed by al who
knew her, che was 50 true and kind,
gentle and womanly. She may have
had many troubles and SORROWS, but
she also had her bright hours,
adored and cherished BY her chill
dren. Truly it is sad to think that
the dark pall Of death and separa-
ton has fallen upon them. She died
after . brief but painful illness. All
Of loves tenderest cares and pray
ers were unavailing TO stay the
flight Of the soul God had chosen
for His own. Her many friends
who knew and loved her came 10
look their last upon her sleeping
face, and tender to the bereaved
family their heartfelt sympathy in
the loss Of their dear mother. May
the grace Of God remain with them
In their hour Of sadness and woe,

and better able to bear the great
and sad misfortune which has be.

frauded OF this right for years, in
order to increase the dangerous
patronage welded by the Governor.
The right to select their assessors,

people ct the next session Of the

acreage devoted to cotton the pres
ent year, and to consider the pro-
priety Of sending delegates to m
interstate convention to be held at
an early date proposed by several
States for similar purpose.

THE JUDICIARY.

II the constitutional Amend

brethren Of the press think It
should) devote its time exclusively
to revising our judiciary system,
. few words on the subject will
not he amiss.
Our best advice is, leave it
alone. Don't tamper with it.
But rs that advice will not be
followed we throw out . few sug-
gestions.
Commence at the bottom, gen.
tleman, dispose of the present
system Of magistrate courts, re-
place them by from one to two
judges per parish, let them be
qualified officers, give them . SAL
ary Of from 81. 800 to 81, $50 pei
annum, and no fees, give them ex.
elusive original jurisdiction up to
$3.50, and criminal jurisdiction on
all cases when the punishment IL Z
fine or imprisonment in parish pris.
on. Let these judges hold court
ten months in the year, let them
he their own clerks, and take
down the testimony in appealabls
cases, their record to be used il
the Appellate Court.
You will have then paved thu
way for curtailing the District
Courts; but these should convene
at least three times per annum il
. parish, both criminal and civil
business to be dispatched ut eact
term ; slight changes may be mad.
as to jurisdiction Of these courts
but the principal alteration ",
have to suggest relates to thu
officials, clerk and sheriff, who
should be salaried officers kill thu
present ''fee" system and give III
justice cheaply and promptly ad'
ministered. In this respect the
Circuit Court system is perfect,
hut under sour modification Of
the District Courts, the present
number of Circuits would be 81.
perfluous we would divide the
State into three Appellate Court
districts, where the judges perpet-
ually hold court. Their salaries
might be reduced to $4,000.
We would then give our Su-
preme Court jurisdiction on ques-
tons of law, etc., alone, thus dis
posing Of the cumbersome and ex-
pensive records now In use.
Our plan may not be an econ
omical one for the State, but We
venture to assert that for the first
time in the history Of the State
her citizens will be receiving that
for which they are taxed, are
justly entitled to and do not re-
ceive: Free justice. -Pointe Cou-

We wonder how many farmers

before feeding them in the morning,
or how much they lose by not doing
it. The horse comes from work at
night, gets . drink, then is fed,

Of the night, and in the morning

reaches the water he file his st0m-

horse. Now, friends, try watering
your horse before feeding in the
morning, thus shaking his thirst
and at the same time washing HE
stomach ready to receive his morn
ing feed, when. being properly
moistened with salava. it will re-
main until thoroughly digested.
Your horse can 60 more work on
