Montgomery Dots.

On Monday morning, the Sth inst,
about o'clock, a shadow of gloom was
cast over our town and community by
the sad news of the death of Mrs. w. o.
Harrison. 1t is indeed sad sad to
chronicle the death of this good lady
1t again reminds us that death is no
respecter of persons, and we can only
humbly bow to the will of our Creator
and pray, His will be done We deeply
sympathize with the bereaved family
and relatives, and commend them to the
blessed Savior, in whom Mrs Harrison
has long since put her trust, as their
guide and comfort through this life, and
hope there will be happy reunion of
these people where there will be no
more sickness, no sorrow, no pain, no
death.
The Democratic primary election pass
ed off very quiet at this place and but
little interest manifested. Out of about
300 voters in this ward only 81 votes
were cast. Watkins received %; Ogden,
1. This ward is o. X. for Hon. b. w.
Bailey, Populist candidate.
Messrs. Walter and Owen Harrison,
Elexis and Morgan Brian, Charles Dy-
son and Thomas Milling, departed last
week for Baton Rouge to attend school
at the State University
Mrs. Myers, of our town, has taken a
class in elocution at the Montgomery
High School, with a good attendance.
This new branch of study in our school
should be given all the patronage posi-
BILE. We wish her success.
We are still without a music teacher
for our school. Can't the patrons of
this department bestir themselves and
work up an interest sufficient for the
school board to employ teacher?
The new election law requires three
supervisors of election for each parish.
In this parish the Clerk of Court has ap-
pointed W. w. Smith, and the Police
jury has appointed NJ. E. Swafford

Out With the Party Lash Al
ready.

1t is widely stated and generally be-
lieved that the Populists largely parti-
cipated in the recent Democratic pri-
maries, If such be the case, the only
inference to be drawn is that they have
returned to their first love, as the rules
governing the primary explicitly stated
that none but known white Democrat,
should participate in the election, and if
so those voting at the primary are honor
bound to support the nominee. Popu-
lism and Democracy are entirely dis
tinct faiths and no man can believe in
both.
The above is from the Shreve-
port Times, and proves what we
have already said about the party
lash. Is this country never to be
frees Is that old party lash to
forever be held over the people! I!
Just such language as the above
ought to be considered as an in
suit to every intelligent man !;
whether he is Democrat, Repub-
lican or Populist.
The Louisiana populist., 1894-10-12
Public Enterprise.

There has OF late been some talk
of establishing water works in the
city OF NatchitOcheS. We are al
ways ready to advocate any meas.
ure that will carry orr country for
war,l instead Of backward, and
from what we can learn from u
cursOry investigation we think
there mi ght be many advantages
derived from an enterprise Of this
kind both to the individual citizen
and also to them IN collective
capacity as n city. As matter OF
course there may be many things
connected with the project both
pro and con that would not be
readily revealed to one who is coui-
paratively stranger, therefore We
could not well suggest any details.
There are various ways in which
THIS enterprise may be brought
about. One is 10y the city building
and operating the water works;
another is by granting a franchise
to company to be organized for
that purpose, and if the latter plan
is adopted there may be sufli-
cient amount Of home capital rais-
ed to carry the work through.
AS we have already said we VIII
not suggest any details, but We
will venture to suggest that n meet
ing of all the citizens Interested be
called for tle purpose of discussing
the propriety, feasibility and prob.
able success of the undertaking.
Therefore we offer the columns OF
the LOUISIANA POPULIsT to those
who feel an interest in the matter
for the purpose of calling meetings
of the citizens, and also for short
communications discussing the
matter. Let us hear from you.

painfully injured. His face, shoulders and
a:us were badly cut. He was doing as
well as could be expected at last report.
James Braden, living about three miles
north of Pollock. on Big Creek was as-
sasinated while sitting in bis house,
about o'clock on the night OF Tuesday
October I'd. We have none OF the par
ticnlars. but learn that it was probably
the result of jealousy. Braden at the
time was living with another mans wife
Chronicle.
The former husband of the woman
Braden was living with, was arrested
some time ago under warrant sworn
out by Bradcn, charging him with alb
Quoting one of the woman's children.
He was subsequently, released, and the
proceedings against him destroyed The
matter was then presented to the grand
jury by Bradcn, both against the offi-
cial and the husband of the woman re-
ferred TO. The grand jury failed to re-
turn az indictment against either. This
action and the immortality of the Bra
dens family connection, caused an i'll
feeling among his neighbors toward him.
Braden vas from the North and was
about 60 years old. The woman was
from South Louisiana, and is about 80
years of age. They have a little girl
with them, daughter of the woman,
who is about 13 years old. s.

The Greatest Of Shows.

The renowned Howe and Cushinys,
are coming with their great exhibitions
and is said to be of surprising interest.
No other show of the past or present
has ever been so favorably mentioned in
the eastern papers. A contemporary
says that from entrance to exit it is the
most interesting exhibition or more
properly speaking exhibitions ever pre-
sented American audiences its many
wonders never seen with any other
shows and the universal excellence of
the performance accounts for the great
success that has attended the brilliant
managers in their career of many years
before the public Of the world. The big
show will be here at Natchitoches, Tues.
day. October SOth, when everybody will
have an opportunity of seeing the uni
versallv acknowledged hest show on

Social Gathering.

Last Saturday evening is long to
be remembered by those who shsr~
ed the kind hospitality of Mrs.
Beatrice Tessiel and her two esti-
mable daughters, Misses Lucille
and Elmina, who kindly entertained
their guests at their beautiful home
on Cane river, on the occasion of a
delightful social gathering.
At an early hour in the evening
the guests began to arrive and
continued until some forty of fifty
of the charming bells and hand
some beaux had arrived, when they
began to trip the fantastic toe in a
style that would have put Terpsi-
chore himself in envy of their sue
cess. Sweet strains of music be-
ing dispensed by the Natchitoches
string band. The enjoyment Of
those present was only interrupted
by Refreshments, which were dis
pensed by the kind hostess. All en-
Joyed themselves to their hearts
content, until a late hour in the
night, and retired to their homes,
where no doubt, their thoughts in
dream-land continued to dwell upon
the pleasant evening which is to-
be long remembered by those pres
ent.
