Messrs. G. w. Covington & Co., have
recently added to their stable very
handsome Kentucky saddle and har-
ness stallion, ENBOYD. He will bes
years old next spring, 15% hands high,
dark chestnut sorrel, star in forehead,
heavy name and tail. good bone, very
stylish, and splendid combina lion
horse, fine breeder and subject to
registration. ENBOYD's breeding is of
the best, his pedigree is unexceptional.
A visit to their stable and a. personal
inspection of this great acquisition to
the county will we'll repay anyone in
terested in improving their stock.
Mountain Slasher being dead and

his question Is one OIL cOnSldera bic
Importance to the citizens and tax-pay.
ers of the City--not the establishment
of the works, that is an assured fact
but as to whether or not the City should
own and operate the works or let the
franchise. We take the position that
not only this but all cities should own
and operate all their own public works,
simply because If other people can do
it and realize profit The city can do
the same thing, and il will relieve the
the people from a buraensome taxation
which is badly needed these times.
Again franchises of any kind takes
from the city all rights of every char.
acter pertaining to the privileges and
debar il of the right to make any
desired changes or correct any mistakes
and If these franchises are for long
eriods the grievances if any become
very worrying and lncopvennent to
bear. 1t honest and competent officials
for corporations can be found to operate
tsuch institutions the same may and
can be done by city. Public works
once begun continne during the entire
future life of a city as rule, and the
immense. profits paid to holders of
franchises amount to enormous sums
in the long run, and the city in the end
has nothing to show it, This could
be made as easily inure to the benefit
Of the town and give the citizens the
benefit of Injuries at a nominal cost.
The Committee having this question
under consideration is composed of our
best citizen and who have the best in.
terest of the town at heart. They are
now investigating the subject and
will sift the entire matter to the bot
tom and bring in an exhaustive and
complete report. The Committee has
in the course of their investigation
accumulated vast amount of facts,
and prominent amongst its data is
evidence that majority of all the
cities from which they have heard on
this subject declare that they are oper.
atipg their own water-works success,
fully and profitably many paying not
only all expenses hut declari ng hand
come dividends and that they could not
he induced to change, and those who
do not follow this plan regret they did
not. This town is not prepared to stand
a heavy drain upon its taxpayers for
Water-works and Electric-lights under
the franchise system, but may be able
to stand the cost without murmuring
under direct ownership when the peo-
pie could derive the profits. This is
question Of great Importance to the
people in town and it be-hoves them
to think of the matter, for their taxes
are high enough now. Think over the
matter seriously and become posted
from your Committee and officials and
then make your wishes known to yonr
officials who are your public servants.
All such matters as this ought to he
finally decided under a referendum
which is TO let it be referred to them for
rati6cating after being acted upon by
the officials. The town charter should
be so amended.

Mr.. Smith was born in this city.
and held many positions of trust
While he resided here. At the age
of fifteen he enlisted in the Con-

war and was paroled IN 1865 by
General Candy. He was the first
Assessor of this parish after the
war a by. sheriff under Jas.
Hughes, was Chief of Police of
this city, discharging all the duties
with ability.
Mr.. Smith now resides in the

To those who do not know him,
we can say that be is a dyed-in-the
wool Popuiist, being one of the
first in this parish to espouse the
cause, and is an untiring worker in
our ranks.
Should he he elected, we have
great faith in his doing his duty to
the satisfaction of the people of
this parish.
