The "Pall Mall Gazette" ascribes the
recovery of Canadian Pacific shares on
the Stock Exchange this morning 10

Judge J. T. Watkins.

In this number of the Banner
Judge John T. Watkins announces as
a candidate for Judge of the Second
Judicial District. Judge Watkins
has served in this capacity nearly four
years, and has given great satisfac-
ton, as far as we have heard. He is
spoken of in the highest terms as a
Judge by the bars and people in all
the parishes in his District. All COM
mend his patience, fairness, ability
aud industry on the bench. This has
all been very gratifying to his friends.
Judge Watkins possesses all the
qualities necessary for the discharge
of the duties of a Judge, and his
eminent:ftness is readily recognized.
He is man with all Of good that the
term implies. A man in unbending
integrity, in determination OF charac-
ter, in moral rectitude and in frmness
of purpose. He has made an able
and just Judge.

There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We
refer to Chamberlain's Pain Balm
When it is kept at hand the severe pain
of burn or scald may be promtly
relieved and the sore healed in much
less time than when medicine has to be
sent for. A sprain may be promptly
treated before Inflammation sets in,
which insures a cure in about one
third the time otherwise required -
Cuts and bruises should receive i'm
mediate attention, before the parts
become swollen, and when Chamber
lain's Pain Balm is applied it will heel
them without matter being formed,
and without leaving scar. A sore
throat may be cured in one night. A
piece of flannel dampened with this
liniment and bound on over the seat
of pain, will cure lame back or pain
in the side or chest in "a hours. 1t is
the most valuable, however, for rheu-
matism. Persons afflicted with this
disease will be delighted with the
prompt relief from pain which it af-
fords, and it can be depended upon
to effect complete cure. For sale

A Remarkable Record.
From the Webster Signal

From the Webster Signal.
Judge J. T. Watkins announces in
this issue of the Signal as candidate
for reelection as District Judge of
the End Judicial District Court, COM
posed of the parishes of Bossier,
Webster and Bienville. He has been
filing this position over three years,
and not a single ruling or decision of
his has been reversed or changed by
the Supreme Court, to which Court a
great many cases decided by him
have been carried on appeal.
It is rare for the Court of Appeals
to differ from him. The records
show that there have been disposed
of during his term about two thousand
(2,O00) cases of all kinds, civil and
criminal. He virtually clears the
jails at each term of Court. The cases
left over are on legal applications for
continuance. 1t costs great deal to
carry a criminal case from one term
of Court to another or to have one
ordered retired by the Supreme
Court, to which Court all criminal
cases go on appeal. If the District
Judge makes single mistake in try
ing case the Supreme Court orders
it tried over.
When first elected, Judge Watkins
made set of rules of his Court to
expedite business and save cost. II
two of the rules, limiting arguments
and fixing cases for trial for certain
days, much time and expense is saved
Judge Watkins is courteous bu
firm, and does not know friend or foe
in the discharge of his duties. HI
is universally popular, as is shown b,
the fact that he has no opposition K
his re- election. OF course, some wht
lost cases are dissatisfied. This il
always so; but that he will be re
elected is an assured fact and we
together with his host of friends
join in our congratulations.

may permit: first, the life OF the great
er part, if not all of the front line, as
it will finally be staked (somewhat as
shown on blue print,) if adopted,
compares, within reasonable limits,
favorably with the back line. Second,
the cost of construction without con
sidering the difference in quantity
even, should be much less per cubic
yard for the front line than for the
back line. Third, the front line will
protect much property of considera-
able value to the District, of which
the back line will deprive it-a con-
sideration which, all other things be-
ing anything like equal, should weigh
strongly with your Board in favor of
the ''front line"
Please advise this department as

by your Board, in order that we may
promptly comply with your wishes in
