Exemption from jury duty under
the new law covers judges and
officers Of court, attorneys, minis
tiers, practicing physicians, pro-
fessors, teachers actually engaged,
apothecaries. notaries, and volun-
teer firemen vino have been three
years in actual service, members Of
paid fire departments, persons over
60 years Of age or those infirm,
and those who have served regu-
lar term as jurors in the preced-
ing year under this act. 1t also
exempts those who served on the
public roads in the same year. The
pay of jurors Is 81 80 per day and
10 cents for each mile actually
traveled.-Baton Rouge Item.
II the above is the law, then the
jurymen will have to be selected
from the cities and incorporated
towns, fer the law requires that in
the country districts, all male in
habitanls between the ages Of Is
aud 80 years, shall work on the
public roads every year, which
would make them all exempt from
jury duty.

COTTON PLANTERS RGAN-
IZE TO ADVANCE PRICES.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 6.-John
p. Pruss, as president Of the Farm
ers' Alliance and Industrial Uuion,
has called . meeting OF cotton
growers for every county seat.
The object stated is ito make an
estimate on the cost Of production
and agree upon the price st which
cotton should be sold in 1895, and
TO organize permanent cotton
growers alliance, with regular
county meeting every three months.
until this matter of the price OF
cotton is permanently settled"
1t appears TO us the planters OF
Arkansas have undertaken an i'm
possible task. II the value Of land
was the same everywhere, taxes
the same, and the amount OF ferti-
lizers used, and the costs Of picking
and ginning were the same every
where, it might be easy enough to
establish a uniform selling price.
As it it at present, all these con-
ditions differ in every State and
neighborhood.

Commencing Sunday, Dec. 3,
the Iron Mountain Railroad took
off all its passenger trains running
through the Indian Territory in
the night time. The officials say
that both their own safety and that
Of their passengers demanded this
move, and that it will continue ia
force uutil the lawless characters in
that section have either been exter-
minated or driven to other fields.
This is about the first instance on
record where the railroads failed
to carry civilization along with
them.

Hospital question. and the follow.
ing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
"Whereas, the Police Jury, hav-
ing been called together to consider
the recent establishment Of . leper
hospital in the parish Of Iberville,
aud whereas, the action of the
Board Of Control created BY the
last Legislature in locating said
hospital at the Camp plantation in
this parish. is an outrage upon the
people Of Iberville;
"Be it resolved. That the presl-
dent OF the police jury is hereby
authorized to take such legal steps
~ he may deem necessary to secure
the removal Of said leper hospital
from the parish"

Sugar beets are no longer taxed
in Germany, but there is q heavy
internal revenue tax on the sugar
made. There is a rebate of .
part of this excise tax on all sugar
exported, which rebate however, is
to be abolished in 1897. There
has been an increase, however, in
the beets grown aud the sugar
made, and in the exports. The
factories have increased their ca
pacity, in order to produce sugar
cheaper. and thus an overproduc-
ton OF sugar il imminent, which,
fr"m the worlds increasing compe-
titiOn, may result in disaster, especi-
ally to the smaller factories, and
those located in unfavorable
regions. N. Y. Herald.

Says the Mansfield Democrat.
Journal:
The principal need of Louisi.
ana just nov is \ good hard-work
ing classof white emigrants. The
possibilities Of the State are almus,
hoandless. Countless thousand, ul
acres Of fine farming lands are w.
ing idle merely for the want Of men
to take hold and open up farms.
This being the case, it appears
passing strange that home seekers
will buy land aud settle in the
dreary and frozen Dakotas and
Montana, where every year people
are frozen to death BY the terrible
billiards Of that section.

disposed Of; the brunette was still

The woman who llad him, . mid

Corn Is too uncertain crop. The

speak OF peanuts, peas, turnips aud

Is doing . fine business, and his table
is supplied with the best the market
Affords. His hotel Is crowded with
guests from all parts OF the country.
The stores all seem to be doing big
business, judging from the busy clerks,
and the cash that was passing over the
counters. On inquiring where al this
cash came from, We were told the Sal.
men Manufacturing Co. pay out the
most Of the money that is spent in this
store Their pay roll amounts to $1,000
every month, and they never fall to pay
OF monthly, which is q great help to
the truck farmers who sell their pro-
ducts in Slidell, and they seem to have
more money than the men who follow
logging.
Ex-Mayor c. +. Mcmahon, one Of
Slidell's prominent citizens, who has
been engaged in the timber business,
has bought farm near Slidell, where
he cultivates rice, corn and German
millet. He has . fine farm, and is busy
now with his vineyard and blowing.

TWO BEARS KILLED

In . bear drive near Fl0renville,
last Wednesday week, Mr.. Samuel
Wilson killed two bears, one weigh
ing 800 pounds, and the other be-
tween 500 and GOO pounds. The
larger bears paws were seven
inches in width. The hunters say
the large one has been hunted

last year the bear bit one OF Mr..
Wilson's dogs in several places.
The bear was shot ut on that hunt,
which was testified by scars and
the old bullets found under his

complish this every agricultural or
ganizat,on. including planters asso-
Citations, farmers cluDs, oranges

to send delegates.
The committee on programme has
appealed to the police juries OF the
various parishes to send two or
more farmers Or planters as dele.
gates from each parish. Favorable

most earnestly desired, but will
meet with the honest approval of
every f.iend of agriculture.
The present financial condition
Of our agriculturalists calls for
serious thought and deliberation.

unreliable labor, soil depletion and
high money rates have deprived our
profession Of much of its profits
and all OF its pleasures. Changes

desired that farmers and planters
from all parts Of the State be
present at this meeting and partici-
pate in its deliberations.

will extend its usual hospitality,
and the farmers of Cane River will
welcome their brothers from other
portions Of the State. Respectfully, |
A. v. CARTER,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
