How to Kill a PAPER.

Just let your subscription go. Il
is only dollar, and the publisher
don't need it. If he asks you for it
just get as mad as you can and tell
him to stop the paper; that you
don't read it anyway. Then go and
borrow your nelghbor's. When the
advertising and job man comes tell
him you don't need to advertise,
that everybody knows you, and that
you will try to get along without
letter heads, bill heads, etc. 1t is
too expensive and business is slack,
and you must economist. Never
call on the editor unless you want a
free notice or a lengthy obituary
for beloved friend. Never recon-
mend the paper to anybody.
Keep this up for a year and you will
have dead newspaper, a dead set
of merchants and a dead town.

About Rice.

| We arc in receipt of a letter from Messrs
| Dan Talmage's Sons, New York, in which
they state that while they thus far had good
success in the milling and sale of creole, o,
| red, rice, still, they do not wish to be under
stood as recommending its culture in the
future. ext may possess all the merits
claimed by the government chemist, yet
looking at things from practical stand
point it is not wise to run counter to the
prcjudiccs of the consumer. He wants
white rice and will pay for it, because it
pleascs the eye, two, three four times the
price of red. For this reason the whittier
sorts are by all odds the better to cultivate. -
They also hand the following pertinent sus-
gcstions, which are worthy Consideration as
we are about entering upon preparations for
the new crop:
I. Care in selecting or cleaning land.
?. Care i'll planting good seed.
;. Care in cultivation.
4. Care in harvesting, curing and thres'.-
ing.
s. Care in sorting grades.
o. Care in having rough properly milled.
First-Clean your land before putting
seed into it; enough weeds will grow in spite
of you, start free.
Second-Plant good seetl--ssLile FRO
duces like 1t costs more to pillow,
plant, cultivate, harvest, mill and sell goo!
rice than poor, but the money result is vastly
different.
Third-Cultivatc carefully. After you
have spent time, labor and seed, doa't grow
weary in wel-donJ, but follow il up until
the time you expect your reward.
Fourth-H":vcst at the right time, ana
don't linger if you have good day. Let
your rice cure before you thrcs!. s.i!aStc
makes waste in this w>,l other things.
Ihresh and clean your rice So it vii! give
You Il reputation worth fifty cents a barrel
more than your slouchy ne:.,,bor.
Fifth-Sort your grades-that is, if you
have few bags of poor truck, don't put
them in with your good rice. 1t will spoil ii
ell ana, what's more, SPOIL your reputation.
Better feed the trash to the chickens; they
will grow fat on it.
SiNth-tict your rice miilcd where they
will do it the best; not where they charge
the least. Good service in milling costs

A Fatal Blow.

Last Thursday at noon a very
serious and probably fatal affra,
occurred between Dan Keeshen,
stranger here, and B. Fl. Wilkins
German and well-known milkmar
of this place. Keeshen was in
charge of Mr.. Vigneaux's branch
stable near the depot when Wilkins
entered and desired his horse stabbed.
A boy took the animal in charge
and keeshen inquired what was
wanted, whereupon wilkins began
a TRADE of gross and abusive Ian
guage toward Keeshen. The latter
| In fit of passion. struck Wilkins a
fearful blow on the back of the head
with heavy broomstick, inflicting a
dangerous fracture of the skull and
telling his victim unconscious
to the earth. Drs. Martin and Toll
son were called and did all in medi-
cal skill to afford the unfortunate
man relief, but expressed grave
doubts of recovery. Deputy Sher-
if Thos. Mouton promptly arrest
ed Keeshen and lodged him in jail.
Keeshen stated that he is native
of New York, So years of age, I'M
and has been South for the
past ten years working in San An
tonic, Houston and other places.
He came to Lafayette about the
first of July last and has been en-
in the livery h,,sinece Ha
claims this his first serious trouble,
having never before been incarcer-
ated.
At last accounts Mr.. Wilkins was
till unconscious and not expected

Died.

On Sunday, Dec. Is. 1905, a
her home in Lafayette. Mrs. Davic
Riggs, nee Altea Lee, aged sc
years; departed this life. The fun.
eral ceremonies were conducted al
the Methodist church by Rev.
Thos. F. Webb Monday evening
and the body inferred in the Protes-
tant cemetery.
A consistent and devoted member
of the Methodist church, Mrs. Riggs
life was truly an exemplificat;on of
every Christian virtue. Modest
and unassuming her many deeds of
love, charity and earnest efforts in
the Masters work attest the truth
and sincerity of her religious con-
victions.
Mrs. Riggs, while Jealous in every
department of church work, was
particularly SO in the Sunday School
and endeared herself to the little
children by her tender care and So
licitude for their eternal welfare
But now she has been called to
her reward and in the heavenly
will forever sing the
praises of her Redeemer, in whose
vineyard here below she labored SO
faithfully. In that celestial home,
where all is peace and joy and love,
she now mingles her voice with the
millions of Gods redeemed.
The sympathy and consolation of
his world do little to assuage the |
sorrow and bereavement of those to |
whom the deceased was dear, but
oothed and sustained by Christian
ortitude and hope, they may ex-
lain: t'The Lord hath given; the
ord hath taken away. Blessed be
he name of the Lord.''
