We love to hear the cackle of the chickens on

And see them scamper after worms It'll late

We love to gather eggs, the fruit of their
erratic pick,
But how are we going to do it when they're
with cholera sick?
If healthy you would have them with combs
so nice and red
Ifeggs you'd gather dozens from stable, coop
Just feed to them a powder put up in Krapfs
drug store,
And soon the dread disease will pass in
checks and trouble them no more.
If with lettering step and soulless cackle
They still a Cringing worm with bill would
tackle,
There's time enough this powder to administer
For cholera has not yet attacked them with
mien quite sinister"
Save them, save them, then, from Il death

And do a deed that in history would appear

Third District Democratic
Committee.

Judge r. N. Sims of this parish
chairman of the Democratic exc
cutive committee for the Third
congressional district, has issued
call for a meeting of that body
to be held at New Iberia on Sa-
turday next, Sept. 8, at IL o'clock
NJ, for the purpose of fixing a
time and place for the holding of
a congressional nominating con-
vention and for the transaction of
such other business as may be
properly proposed.
The present membership of the
committee is as follows:
President, r. N. Sims of Ascen-
sion; Secretary, r. McCulloh of
Ascension; at large, G. p. Hamp-
ton of Calcasieu; Dudley Avery of
Iberia, Jos. Brig of st. Mary and
Thos. Shaffer of Terrebonne; As
cension, V. Maurin; Assumption,
Jos. E. Leblanc and L. Fl. Pugh ;
Calcasieu, A. L. Reid and G. A.
Fournet; Comeron, s. P. Henry
and e. Sturlese; iberia, G. T..
Cade and Jos. A. Provost; Iber-
vile, B. G. Leblanc and L. M.
Soniat; Lafayette, P. L. Declouet;
st. Martin, D. W. VOORHEES, and
L. c. Guidry; st. Mary, G. V.
Chase and F. G. Marsh; Terrebon-
ne, T. H. Casey and John r. Girl
mage.
But one member for Lafayette
was named by the delegates to the
last congressional convention from
that parish, and none were chosen
by the Lsfourche delegates. 1t
will doubtless be within the pro-
vince Of the Democratic executive
committees of those parishes to
fill tho vacancies if they choose to
do 90.
We take it for granted the dis
trict committee will pursue the
policy heretofore in vogue by re-
legating to the various parish COM
mittees the authority to determine
the manner in which delegates to
the district convention shall be
choeen-whether by primary cleo
ton, parish convention, mass
meeting or otherwise. Don
