Our readers every where should

ish will present an entertainment at
the opera house in Shreveport, that
will be something rare to the major
ity of them at least. This will be a
lecture by the renowned Hon. Henry
Watterson, ed!tor-in-chief of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, and a
gentlemen of national reputation as
man of scholarly culture, q politi-
clan, statesman and orator. 1t is
useless for us to speak of his fame
here as he is known of in almost every
hamlet and country spot in the
South.
This will be one of the crowning
efforts of the Teachers Association,
and their enterprise in securing such
an attraction should be commended
by patronage as great as the pub
lie spirit showed, and should this be
done standing room will be eagerly
sought.

SAY SOMETHING OR QUIT.

The responsibility of that railroad
committee is great. The people will
not tamely submit to loss of this
gulf road on account Of petty jeal-
ousies or undue importance assumed
by the body. The public has been
patient and il is but right that it
should know something of what is
going on. The created is not greater
than the Creator and It Is the first
time in history, that we know of, that
a committee, appointed by the peo-
pie on a public matter, has SO COM
pletely ignored that people, as to
what was being done. The func-
tions of this committee was to secure,
not kill, a railroad.
This is merely thrown out as a
hint because The PRoGREss is one
who thinks that the people have
rights which the committee should
respect.

WAIT TILL The CLOUDS ROLL BY.

A few suggestions we will make to
yOu which if carried out will save
you much annoyance inconvenience
and worry and will likewise add to
your physical strength and general
health. The advice is when you, de-
sire to go down town while the wealth
or lis threatening and the sky over
cast, don't rush out and run unnces-
sary risks but "wait till the clouds
roll by"
Again don't rush out in the rain
without an umbrella nor in the mud
and slush at all if you can avoid it,
but if not, then be sure and don our
shoes. Be careful to wear an over
coat when the weather is below the
freezing point and keep out of a
draught when in doors. Don't eat
breakfast in bed nor retire at night
with your shoes on. Be sure to take
latch keys and key-holes when you
leave in the morning, and take your
bearings at night before you venture
in your mansion for fear that your
neighbOrs dog may get hold of you
for trespassing in the wrong yard.
If you are woman be sure to look
we'll under the bed and in the armour
and closets before retiring to locate
every burglar which is on the premi-
ses. If you are a married woman,
especially if it is Winter and an un-
usually cold night, wait until your
husband has become snugly tucked
in bed and warm and comfortable
aud then begin to express to him
your misgiyIngs about the water
works being turned off, the pantry
doors being locked, the dining room
wiDdows being down; that your ia
vorite pothouse plants are out and
you know the freeze will kill them
and then you will never know an
other happy moment. Tell him all
these, then beg of him to call on us
for his ready-made clothing, under
wear, general furnishing goods and
then go out in the streets and pro-
claim it on the house tops that we are
the clothiers of North Louisiana and
then everybody will be happy. Yours
respectfully,

Miss Mary Files treated the ladie

Miss Mary Files treated the ladie
to an exquisite 'fower show" on
Monday and Tuesday, and throngs of
delighted friends filed her elegant
millinery parlor all day, The vOcab-
ulary of adjectiyes was many times
exhausted in a vain endeavor to ex-
press the admiration they felt. The
writer was there and tried it, and for
once in her life was dumb. The be-
wildering display of new shapes and
styles, new colors and combinations
was positively paralyzing.s
Eminence, the latest fad in color
was predominant everywhere. 1t is
almost impossible to conceive of the
variety of shads in this marvellous
color. The announcement through
the journals of fashion, that purple
and green would be the most popular
combinations this Spring, was very
received and every one
wondered now purple and green
could ev, be effectively combined.
But Dane Fashions trained fingers
have wrought the blending with e6
quisite taste and effect. Other strik
ing features of the latest millinery is
oddity of shapes and lightness of
weight, two very commendable points
in its favor. Styles for children are
as sensible as beautiful. Ore dainty
little white Quaker poke attracted
universal admiration. New laces and
veilings, new trimmings and orna-
ments, new everything, was every
where, and it is impossible to tell all
about it. Be sure you go before all
these exquisite pattern hats are gone.
