WELL, WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR7

A very notorious, if not as promi-
nent, Republican of Texas, ouce re-
marked at a convention: What are
we here for if not for the offices
That unsophistlcated politician but
spoke out what is the real intent and
purpose of nearly avery man who
takes very active interest in poll
tics,9 While he1is apparently serving
his country for it's good alone, liz is
really on the make and has some
good "posish" promised which will
afford" him some compensation for
the time and labor he expended in
the interest of the dear public.
But never mind politics. We are
here to say that we handle the best
stock Of general clothing of Any firm
in North Louisiana. Our ready
made suits are certainly unsurpassed
in quality and price, and we invite
an inspection by everybody. Our
line of under clothing is Something
to boast of while the hats, shoes,
shirts and hosiery for men and boys
are simply superb. II the people
will but try our white shirts they will
use no other, and an inspection Of
our assortment of neckties, cravats,
scarfs, collars, cuffs, handkerchiefs
and gloves will make one go into
ecstacies. Remember our prices are
exceedingly low.

The Sanford Trial.

On Friday last the jury in the case
Of the State vs. Boland Sanford,
rendered a verdict of guilty of man

The defendant was represented by
Messrs. Hicks & Hicks and Col. Stone

the case with .enviable skill is evil

Boland is very fortunate in being
granted such clemency, and lis

The punishment for manslaughter
is fine not exceeding $1,000 and i'm
prisonment at hard labor, not exceed

SsS Notion to 0ussh Sustained

The attorneys for MIR. John Lake
filed 2otion to quash the indict.
ment for several causes, one being
that this Instrument did not allege q
demand has been made. Judge Tay
lor sustained the motion and the
State reserved bill.
This practically ends this case, and
Mr.. Lake received the congratula-
tiols of his friends, many of whom
have been watching the proceedings
therein IN a manner which only his
bitterest enemies could assign a rea-
son for. All the main parties con-
cerned, including even the Attorney
General gnow what we mean, and as
that is all We care for, we are con-
tent to let it remain just there. The
public was not in this business"
any way, nor was the law, and the
whole business was but drama,
the actors thereof being only medium
performers, who could not have
drawn applause from any one capa-
BILE Of appreciation.
Now let oblivion assert its sway and
the people pursue their regular
course.
The PRoaREss extends its hand to
MIR. Lake. May his future be settled
in manner satisfactory to himself.

turned up at its old home in Lincoln,
where one morning the gentleman who
occupies the other half of the detached
villa was aroused by the loud mewings
and noise made by the cat to gain adj
mittance to its former home.
The next door folks, who knew puss
well, guessed at his achievement and
gave him great reception. 1t is COM
puted that the animal performed the
journey in about eight days, travelling
at the rate of over seventeen miles a
day, and, although the cat was rather
thin in flesh, still it was in fairly good
condition when it reached Lincoln.
When one takes into consideration the
distance between Forest Hill and Lin
coln-nearly 14O miles-the intense Sc
verify of the weather, and the thou
sand obstacles the poor creature must
have encountered on its way across
London and down to Lincoln, the jour
ney is a marvel for so small and weak
an animal to have accomplished. But
everybody knows that when cat once
makes up its mind to any course of ac-
ton it carries the matter through or
dies in the attempt.

Accomplishing a Long Journey to Reach
Old, Familiar Haunts.
The big, black cat whose picture we
give was born and reared in one of
two semi-detached houses on a hill
overlooking the well-known and his
toric racecourse, the Carholme, of Lin
coin, England. This house has been
occupied by a medical man and his
family for the last six years, and the
cat became so great favorite that last
December. when its owner removed to
Forest Hill, London, puss was taken
to the new home, being conveyed, like
the rest of the family, by train and
cab. For about a month the cat seems
to have been contented and happy, but
it was noticed it ate largely and slept
much, and as a consequence it became
fat and looked sleek and well-to-do.
Towards the end of the month, after
this careful training, the cat disap-
peared, and after a thorough search
was lamented as friend gone forever.
This event took place in the beginning
of the severe frost and snowstorm, and
before the storm was over the cat
