She was able to side-trac!s the lat

She then entered into negotiations
with Mr.. Devine, first demanding
unconditional surrender. This he
refused. After further negotiation,
it is said he agreed to pull OF the

A TIE VOTE FOR MAYOR.

Aug. "A, 1884,
Editor st. Tammapy FARMER:
This was election day in Slidell, for
Mayor and Aldermen. Two tickets
were in the field, IS follows:
For Mayor-C. r. McMahon.
For Aldermen-F. Salmen, Il. H. Lin
ton, Jas. J. Mexican, T. Sadler, F. Will
liams.
For Mayor-O. L. Dittmar.
For Aldermen-E. +. PerfllOux, Jn0.
Peterson. Jn0. Frederick, Jas. J. Nc
Kean, Sam Levy.
The election passed OF quietly and
good humOredly. The result was tie
vote for Mayor, between Messrs. Nc
Mahon and Dittmar, but for Aldermen
the entire McMahon ticket was elected,
except Mr.. Williams, who was scratch
ed, and Mr.. Shed Davis was elected in
his place.
If Slidell was located out West, 1t
would be considered boom town. 1t
can boast of 1900 inhabitants, new
buildings are going up in all parts of
town, and the hotels are full of guests
from all parts of the country.
Capt. Van Russ, Of Logtown, Miss,
is stopping At the Bird Cage Hotel.
Mr.. Nave, of Meridian, Miss, r. H.
HUE, OF Michigan, Mr.. Wolf, Of New

REDUCE THE TAX RATE.

Now that the financial condition
of our parish is established on .
good cash bssiss with : sufficient
balance in the treasury to more
than cover all outstanding obliga-
tons for new bridges and other inn
provements, with the entire reve
nues of this year from taxation yet
to be collected, it is the universal
sentiment that the Police Jury
should reduce the rate of parish
taxation to at least seven mills. or
even to six mills Oh the dollar.
There is no necessity for accumu-
lating large cash balance in the
treasury, and such a course only
leads to useless extravaganza, at
the expense of the tax-riddcn peo-
pie. It is good Democratic doc
trine to levy only 8 sufficient tax to
defray the necessary expenses OF
government, economically admins
tered, with perhaps small reserve
contingent fund, and a seven mill
tax will surely be sufficient for this
purpose. The Police Jury, at its
meeting next Tuesday, should care
fully examine into this matter, and
we believe they will conclude that
the reduction eau be made, and at
the same time leave ample funds to
provide for all necessary expenses
and contingencies.

Our pastor, Rev. d. C. Rawls, has
taken . vacation of three weeks, for the

have heard from him he was somewhere

Well, we hope to see him return we'll

flesh.
A fine bridge has been built across
the east Little Bogue Falia, at the old
Rotterdam homestead. 1t was done
through the energy of Mr.. Oelmann,
assisted by the neighbors. 1t is .
very strong structure, about 100 feet
long. 1t was built in good faitn. no BOND

ance of the taxpayers money. Now,
whenever the brass or string band from
COvington or Abita are going ON .

on dark night they need not TO be
afraid of the creek. They can pass any
time no matter how high the water may
be.
The piny woods are full of visitors
from New Orleans. They enjoy the
good water and the healthy scent of the
pines.
The Misses Elise and Matte Ahrens
left on Wednesday for their home in
New Orleans. They were staying three

Matthics. These charming young ladies
made quite a host of friends who
regretted to see them depart.
The outlook for . good crop could be
no better. Raining and sunshine to
furnish the necessary moisture, and
heat to make everything grow. The
sugar cane is not up to the height it
should be, on account of the dry spell
In the spring, but If this weather keeps
