PIANOS
What We Do

Some families want piano, but keep
putting it off till they can pay the whole
price cash down.
The result is that meanwhile they 90
without, or else waste money in renting,
and then, perhaps, when the money is
ready it is too late to enjoy or profit by
the use of an instrument.
A small payment to begin with, and
little more than bare rent monthly will
buy an Ivers G. Pond Piano in the same
time it would take to save up the money,
and the investment is all the time safer
than savings bank, for the customer
has the piano all the time.
Call or write for particulars.

solemnity of the feast of "All
Souls which is faithfully kept in
the church. Many floral tributes

hands upon the tombs of dear de-
parted ones, but on account of un-
favorable weather the usual pro-
cession to the cemetery had to be
dispensed with.
eOld Boreas" has been blowing
at a fearful gale these last few
days, a warning to planters to
save their seed cane. Many small
mills have been erected, it paying
better to grind the cane into syrup
than ship to the refineries.

The farmers are actively engaged

November 6.
On the night of All Souls Day,
which was last Thursday, it is be-
lieved by superstitious people, and
especially by the negroes, that the
souls Of the dead are roaming.
Alex. (Leck) Lazaro, taking advan-
tage of that idea prevalent among
the darkies, concluded he would
scare young negro boy working in
his fathers yard. While the boy
was carrying some stove wood in
the house, after dark, LeclSy wrap
ped himself in a sheet and adyanc-
ed on the boy. The boy first threw
a piece of wood, missing him, but
the supposed ghost still approach
ing, when within reach the boy
struck him on the head with an
other piece, fracturing his skull
seriously. The attending physi-
clan, Dr.. J. IF. Parker, we are told,
took out seven pieces of bone and
a teaspoonfuI of brains. Lazaro is
in a very critical condition, and
little hope entertained for his re-,
coyery.
Since the above was written news
has reached us that young Lazaro
was dying.
[Laza1o died on Thursday night.

There was a cutting scrape here
last saigft. 1t seems that Ferdi-
nand Derouen and Etienne Fusil-
ier were involved in q difficulty,
when the former cut the latter in
the back. 1t is an ugly cut. 1t is
hard to tell how the difficulty oc-
Cured, as there are conflicting
statements. Derouen was arrested
by deputy-sheriff Jos. BOrdelon,
and brought. before Judge J.. j.
Dossman, who placed him under
5000 appearance bond to appear
before the District Court, but after
ward reconsidered his action and
committed him to the jail. JAKE
