Successful In Their Mission.

Hon. Uriah Millsap, chairman
in charge of the committee appoint
ed by Gov. Foster to go into the
Western States and make arrange
ments to buy corn for the drouth
sufferers, has returned to Monroe,
and reports success both in the
matter of cheap corn and reduced
railroad transportation for the
same. In addition to the half mil
lion or more bushels to be bought
by the State, the railroads also
agree to give cheap rates on all
corn ordered by merchants and
others in the parishes affected by
the drouth. Our merchants and
all others who can should take ad-
vantage of this favorable opportun-
ity to get cheap corn. AS soon as
the committee reports to the Gov
ernor, and we are able to get hold
of the facts, we will publish al
particulars.

distress begine to be felt by suffering
women and children.
The rot that is being printed in some
of the papers, about State aid disorgan-
King labor, will not apply in Grant par
ish. Our sufferers by drouth are nearly
all white people. The negroes live i'll the
bottoms almost altogether, where toler-
ably fair corn and cotton crops have been
made. In the hills is very different
condition of things. There the people
are nearly all white farmers OF only mod
crate means, and not one in ten of them
has made anything like crop. But they
are a sturdy. independent set out that
way. and, even if aid is extended, the
bulk of them would scorn to receive any
help. However, some will be forced by
necessity to accept it.
In concluding this article we will
say that we have never expected
tho police jury to gire anything to
our destitute people, but we did ex-
pect them to do something toward
help in this matter, instead of sit
ting down in idleness and by cul-
pable neglect forcing the sufferers
to attend to the very matters that
the police jurors by virtue of their
Office should have attended to.
So far as our individual acts are
| concerned. we believe Editor Dunn
is the only person who is playing
the dog in the Manager and objects
to our showing sympathy or per-
forming any service to help in Sc
curing aid for the sufferers. II
any body else objects to our send
ing ont papers and corresponding

Representatives, and trying to ge
their aid in putting matters in al
intelligent and definite shape. vi

How a Letter May be Recalled.
The public is not as familiar
with its privileges about postal
matters as might be supposed.
Many times people would like to
recall a letter after it has been
inailed. This can be done, even II
the letter has reached the postof-
zee of it's destination. At every
postoffice there are what are called
! awithdrawal blanks" On applica-
| tion they will be furnished, and
when a deposit is made to cover
1.-The expense, the postmaster will
telegraph to the postmaster at the
letters destination asking that it
be promptly returned. The appli-
cant first signs this agreement:
at is hereby agreed that, it the
letter is returned to me, l will pro-
| tect You from any and ell claims
made against you for such return,
and will fully indemnify you for
| any loss you may sustain by reason
Of such action. And / herewith

Cured, and will deliver to you the

In many cases persons have made
remittances to fraudulent parties
or irresponsible firms, not learning

Shakers and Doctors Talk Together.

In his able work entitled Longevity
published a few years ago, DIR. John
Gardner, Of England, predicts that a veg
etable agent will yet be found thar shall
so'retard those changes that bring about
old age as to prolong human life much
beyond its present limit.
Acting. perhaps, upon the impulse pro-
duced by this thought, many eminent
physicians have called from time to time
upon the Shakers of Mt. Lebanon to in
quire OF them concerning the secrets of
medicinal plants, in which these sincere,
supplemented and GOd-fearing people are
known to be wise and skillful beyond all
other men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned, and in return received from
their visitors much valuable information
about disease; which they at once made
practical use of. The most important
point was that if a genuine and certain
remedy could be found for indigestion and
dyspepsia, and the ailments growing out
Of ii, a long step would be taken In the
right direction. Old age, said these ply
sicians, begins IN e failure of the diges-
tion, and so do most diseases at any and
all periods Of life. The result of these
consultations was the discovery by the
Shakers of the desired specific, made
wholly from herbs, and now known as the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. Its action is
magical and worthy Of its origin.
Where there is distress after eating,
heartburn, sick headache, bad taste Ia the
mouth, biliousness, weakness and weari-
ness, cold hands and feet, aversion to
food, nervousness, or any other symptom
of dyspepsia, the Cordial will prove its
curative virtues. Behind 1t is the reputa-
tion OF a people who have never de-
frauded or deceived their fellow men.
In order to test whether this remedy is
adapted to your case, at practically no
cost, you may procure a trial bottle for
ten cents of almost any druggist.

HOboken, n. J., June 16.-At mid
night last Thursday LeOnOra Cooke
rill, widow of the late John A. Cooke.
rill, was married to Walter Louis Lie
nau, of Brooklyn, by Justice of the
Peace Mccullough. In the evening the
Justice was called to the phone and
arrangements made for the wedding.
Shortly before midnight a carriage
drove up to Squire McCullough's office
and from it descended the anxious
couple, who seemed in a great hurry
to be married. The man gave his
name and that of the la1y. who. he
said, was a widow. Justice McCul-
Tough did not know either of them. He
proceeded with the cermOny until,
when he arrived at the words In his
address to the bride: do you. Leo
nora, promise to love, h0por and
obey"
stop there" cried the bride.
why, what's the matter?' asked the
surprised justice.
mo obey for me, if you please"
said Mrs. Cockerill.
That's right, isn't itT' She said,
turning to the groom. I'VE did not
agree upon that?'
Mr.. Lienau admitted that was the
case.
please begin again, judge" said
the bride, land be sure you leave out
the word obey this time"
The ceremony proceeded without
further interruption to the end, and
then the happy couple took the ferry
for New York. Walter L. Lienau is
Of French and German parentage, and
his family lived in Brooklyn for some
years. He is said to be very wealthy,
and has built an elegant house in Eng
lewoOd, whittier he will take his bride
on Monday.
Capt. John \. COckerill died al
Cairo, Egypt, and was buried in Bel
lefontaine cemetery, st. Louis, about
three weeks ago.
