Attention is called to the note
added to the advertisement of the
Columbia Rice Mill in this issue,
stating 'tgood quality Japan Rough)
nets considerably more than equal
grade in Carolina and Honduras. !"
This is certainly encouraging to
those of our farmers who have this
year raised more or less of the
above mentioned kind, and it is
we'll worth remembering when plant
ing time shall come around next
year. Another thing, however,
ought equally to be borne in mind,
and that is, the necessity of keeping
every different kind, whether Japan,
Carolina or Honduras, distinct and
separate-one from the other. Hy-
birds as the rule are degenerates
and it certainly holds true in rice.

We have received this week from
Mr.. H. S. Kneedler, the author, {
very handsome book entitled
ssThrough Storyland to Sunse
Seas" 1t is an exceedingly vel
gotten up volume, written IN an in
pertaining style and furnishes large
amount of information concerning
the country along the Southern Pa.
cific road from New Orleans to the
Pacific Coast. The illustrations are
splendid, especially those repre-.
senting scenes on the Teche.
In Mr.. Kneedler's own words:
'sThe description takes you where
the roads lead-from the quaint his
to,ic city of New Orleans through
the bayou region of Louisiana,
where summer fingers and poetry is
the hand maiden of romance, across
the sugar and rice and cotton coun-
try, into the cathedral aisles of the
vast pine forests. Then beyond,
where the great plains of Texas
reach to far-oft sky lines, through
quaint towns and cities, where for
eign speech and manners mingle
with our Anglo-Saxon civilization.
BY the pillared Canon of the Rio
Grande the way leads, and past the
sepulchral cleft which the Pecos has
worn in the bosom of the earth.
On farther yet are the dim blue
mountains and cacti-covered, tradi-
tion-fraught plains of New Mexico
and Arizona; the sand-girdled ella
and the implacable, mysterious Col
RADIO that steadfastly rolls to its
union with the California Sulf.
Then comes the wonderland of the
Pacific Coast-the jeweled, flower
begirt valleys and snow-cIad peaks
of California; the CLINT of azure
skies and sapphire seas; of vine-clad
hills and rose-embowered homes
groves of olive and of
orange. Up the great San Joaquin
Valley you go, and down the coast
line, with many places of interest on
the way to claim attention. There
is tour of San Francisco, with pen
pictures of its points of interest;
of the beauties to be seen
on a run up the valley of the mad
Sacramento; close skirting Shasta's
rugged sides; the passage of the
down Rogue River VAL
ley to Portland and the majestic
Columbia. Then, too, the story
takes you eastward beyond the
Sierras, by Donner's Lake, the wild
River, the mysterious sink
Of the Humboldt, and to Ogden and
Salt Lake City, lying close by the
Dead Sea of America"

Women know more about clothes
in general than men. We have our
strongest friends among the gentle

Death of Ernest Constantin.

Death Of Ernest Constantin.
Some nine months ago the writer
was invited to the home of Mr..
Ernest Cons:antin. A number OF
friends and relatives had gathered
there to celebrate IN quiet, unos-
tentatious way the 49th anniversary
of Mr.. Constantin and to wish him
many more. years on this earth.
Little did we think then that he had
reached the last mile-Post of his
earthly voyage and that we would
be called upon to chronicle his
death before another twelve-month
had rolled by. Though apparently
enjoying good health and giving
every indication of yet robust
constitution, he was only short
distance from that awful moment
when man must give up this life to
go to that undiscovered country.
Mr.. Constantln was sick several
weeks before the end came, and dur
ing his sickness he expressed the
opinion that his life would soon be
brought to a close seemed to
feared it not; he saw its approach
and met it bravely and courageously.
He died surrounded by a loving
wife and devoted relatives, who had
nursed him du, ing his illness.
Ernest Constantin was born in
this parish 49 years and 9 months
ago, and his life was spent here
with the exception of the time he
served in the Confederate army,
having been a member of Company
X, 18th, Louisiana Regiment.
He was good soldier and perform
ed his duties during the war with
commendable devotion. After the
war he lived some years ON his
farm in this parish and subse-
quently moved to this town,
where he remained in business
up to the time of his death.
He was a worthy member of Lodge
1904 Knights of Honor. He was
one of tie first to join that society
in Lafayette and he stood high in
the esteem of his brothers who at
tended his funeral IN a body and
performed the last sad rites of the
order over his grave. He was a
member of General Frank Gardner
Camp of Confederate Veterans.
This association followed the re-
mains to their last resting place.
His death will be sincerely regretted
by manv who enjoyed friendly rela-
tons with him. He was a good
soldier. an honest man, and useful
citizen.
His funeral Tuesday evening was
very largely attended.
