A NEEDED HELP.

There is a clause in the town
charter that acts as a loadstone on
our advancement. 1t is the one
prohibiting the collection of an
amount of taxation exceeding
$500 a year, regardless of the va
lue of the property. There can
be no doubt that property is in
creasing in value every day, and
no matter if It should reach q mil.
lion in value, we are still limited
to the fifteen hundred dollars
To keep pace with the growth Of
the town, and make needed i'm.
provements, this clause should be
eliminated from the charter. tt
do this it would be necessary TO,
the property holders to hold ar
election, and should it meet with
the favor of a majority, the legis
lature would be petitioned to al
low q general election to make thu
change.
The MESSENGER will at q fut,lr,
day show the advantages tina
would follow the change, as vel
as the possibility, by such a step
of enhancing the general pros
peritY.

-Weihave never seen in this
parish such q general disposition
on the part of the planters to
make a large crop the coming SEA-
son. "A very large amount of mo-
ney was invested in mules. This
week, we were really surprised to
notice the large. number Of plows
d. and other agricultural implements
in this town. The sales in this
line was so large that it even asto-
lnished the merchants. This is
: certainly very encouraging news,
as it means large crop for the
coming season.

The Use Of Musk.

The use of musk is the fastest
fad of the fair sex and the atmos-
phere in the street cars is often
80 heavy as to be almost sitting
on account of that powerful scent
which is extracted from the glands
of the alligator and the musk-rst.
For years the use of musk was re-
garded as the evidence of low So
cial caste if not actual vulgarity
and it was banished from the tot
let tables of all women Of refine
ment, but it seems that fashion
which often cuts many queer CO.
pers has decreed that to soak
ones self with it, and also to soak
everybody and everything you
happen to touch is quite the pro-
per thing these days. 1t is an
outrageous. far-reaching and ten
acious smell, and we fail to see
how any nostrils other than those
which have been trained in q
Limburg-cheese factory can toler-
ate it It is not perfume, but q
hideous stink that will cling just
as long and just as we'll to q white
washed fence as it will to q lace
shawl, and if the ladies could only
realize the disgust q man and his
stomach feels when he gets q
Whit of it they would chuck the
stuff in the garbage barrel. The
Creator of all things never inten-
ded, that woman, his noblest work,
should go around smelling like an
angry crocodile.-States.

SUGAR DOOMED.

The lower house of Congress
has decided by vote of 1S5 to 60
that the sugar bourty must 60.
The house has voted down by
about tho same majority every
amendment that was favorable to
a tariff on sugar Even the pro-
position to put a tariff of a quar-
ter of a cent per pound was voted
down.
We will have free sugar all al
ong the line, unless the Senate
disagree with the House and de-
feat the bill.
We believe it would be time yet
for our people to hold meetings
and protest against all legislation
unfavorable to the sugar industry.
| We trust our board Of trade will
take immediate action in this mat.
ter, and issue q call for q meeting
of all those interested to protest
against free sugar, and send their
protest to our representatives
and senators.
Can we idly see our industries
sacrificed, without giving q kick?
