Signs of prosperity are being
noted all over the country, and here
in Grant parish the signs are no
less patent than in other quarters.
We learn that the various lumber
mills in Grant have received orders
for nearly forty million feet of lum-
Der within the past few days, the
firm of Nugent. Hardtner & Co., on
the II. G. A. & N. railroad, having
received orders at their mill alone
for 100000 feet of this amount.
It is said that there are millions of
dollars worth of foreign goods now
on their way to America, since the
passage of the Wilson bill, and the
response to this inflow of cheap
goods is noticeable along all lines
of business in which producer and
consumer are concerned. All the
prognosticators agree upon an early
recovery from depression, and the
general idea is that prosperity will
have fully dawned upon the whole
country before the close of 1896.

Let Us Have q Convention.
The Democratic Executive com

The Democratic Executive COM
mittee of the 4th Congressional
District will meet at Natchitoches
ON Monday, September Sd, for the
purpose of determining the time
and manner of nominating q candi-
date for Congress. We favor NOM
nation by convention, and think it
highly important that convention
be called for this purpose, which
shall set forth in clear cut ringing
tones the principles, intents and
purposes of the Democratic party,
in a platform that shall not be sus-
ceptible of misconstruction. For
the first time in generation a
Democratic Congress has, within
the past few days, inaugurated
"tariff REFORM" a mighty and mo-
mentous movement in the interest
of the masses, and our people need
to be informed as to what it really
means. This has been the prom
Use and the hope of Democracy, de-
ferred for 10, these many years. At
this moment Grover Cleveland's
patriotic slogan cry still rings in
the nations hearing. Hope springs
eternal in the bosom of the toiling
millions, and all that the grand old
Democratic party has to do is to
second and follow up the noble
work already done, and give an
earnest that it is to be pushed to
completion. No amount Of soph-
istry or demagogism can blind the
people to their true interests, and
we have no fears as to the full and
final triumph of Democratic prin-
cipals.

high and low estate should have liberty to
speak to the man she liked. If he refused
to take her to be his wife, she should have
the privilege of lning him a1o0 or less,
according to his estate, unless he could
make it appear that he was betrothed to
another woman, in which case he would
be free to refuse. After the death Of Mar
garet the women of Scotland became clam
orous for their privileges, n to appease
them another act of parliament allowed
them to propose every fourth year.
The old custom Of throwing an onion
after O bride is doubtless well known. 1t
had the same origin as the old Scotch Gus
tom of throwing a bosom after a COW on
its way to market-to avert the evil eye
and thus insure luck.
There are some things that a bride must
remember. Her bodice must he high in
the neck, her sleeves reach quite to her
wrists, and her gown must fall in full,
unbroken folds that show the richness Of
the material, and there must be very little
suggestion OF such frivolities as frills or
ribbons of any kind.
Tho wedding gown illustrated is of
white satin, made in princess style, with
a long train. The right side of the skirt is
o-rnalnented with a knot of white MORE
and q piquct of orange flowers. The darts
of the bodice are outlined with fine en-
broidery, and the corsage is cut square to
show a guirnpe Of white mousseline de
sole. A satin ruching borders the corsage,
and the gigot sleeves arc draped by piquets
of orange flo
