For three years I was troubled with ma'a-
rial poison, which caused my appetite to fail,
and / was greatly reduced in flesh, and life
lost all its charms. tried mercurial and
potash remedies, but to no effect. I could
petno relief. then decided to try SRSS
A few bottles of this wonderful
medicine made a complete and permanent
cure, and / now enjoy better health than ever.

Read the new ad of Schwartz
this week, it means business for
you.
The talk Of the town at this
time is the celebration of the
Fourth of July. If every body
will give little assistance we can
make a big thing at a very small
cost. Let us do it.
The sale of the single mill
will take place to-day. We hope
that the mill will fall into hands

employment to our people aud get
handsome returns for their invest
ment.
Why not our young boys re-
organized the A. o. A. social club,

1t is reported that the bache-
lors of this town are about to or.
ganize a mutual admiration sOcie-
ty. The MESSENGER is free to say
it will supply a strongly felt want
| Our people are compelled
these days to go to New Iberia OIL
elsewhere for bricks. II seems t.
us that bricks could be made here
as cheap as elsewhere, and thu
would give employment to some
of our home people. All the mo
ney which Is sent away for sucl
material is loss to our town, ant
we see no reason why some enter
prising person owning land on tin
bayou bank does not engage Il
that business, in serious bust
ness-like manner. Bricks can b
made here as cheap as any wher
else. We hope that somebody Wi
consider this, and SOON 60 in tn
business.
