WASHINGTON COUNTY.
loot of the First Locomotive Will be
the Resurrection Trump.

the Resurrection Trump.
Never before has Washington county
had such glowing prospects spread out
before her.
Never before have the people had such
reasonable grounds upon which to rear
their hopes and snticipations OF grander
future as they have in the constructing
OF the Washington county railroad,
which is no longer a vague question but q
sure aud actual one.
To start in the race OF progress with
the world half a century in advance, with
the expectations OF getting there" would
seem discouraging in the extreme to most
people.
The get up and get spirit which pre-
dominates in the Yankee blood, and en-
ables them to overcome difficulties and
annihilste obstacles Is latent in Washing
ton county people.
Unite them to the world by modern
means OF travel and trade and a wonder
full transformation will follow.
In localities where the chirp OF the
cricket is about the only sound that
breaks the stiffness OF summer, and the
iamentation OF the hoop pole man il all
that disturbs the silence OF winter will be
heard instead the cheerful song OF re-
munersted labor.
The unutiiized streams and rivers in
stead of being idlers and drones in ns
lures realm will surely, by the potency
of capital. become tireless agents OF in
dustrial wealth.
The partially improved water powers
from the NarrAguagus to the St. CroiI,
will be made TO revolve the wheels OF
scores OF permanent and profitable in
dustries, thus not only increasing indi-
vidual wealth, but contributing to the
material welfare OF all. Ii Is the pros
perity OF the masses and not the few that
makes a community progressive, indie
pendent and thrifty.
The railroad will enhance the value of
every farm along be route and invite the
holder to greater effort, because he has
the world for a market and daily facilities
for reaching it. The railroad will i'm
rneasurshiy benefit the lum bering inter
est by sffording it q winter market.
Give US railroad and when the next
ten years Is passed and Maine measures
the stride she has made in wealth and
prosperity. Washington county will come
TO the front and say to Der sister counties.

Hog Cats and Dogs.

The village Of Pollock, in Grant par
ish, has a real, genuine curiosity, says
the Alexandria Town Talk. 1t is
called a hog cat, and from what we
learn of the animal it is well named.
Mr.. Wood the proprietor, of the hotel
at Pollock, own the cat, and it sleeps
and eats with the hogs, and has been
leading that kind of life ever since it
was a kitten. 1t seems that when the
cat was a kitten it took up with a lit
ter of pigs and ate and slept with them
When the pigs grew up and were pen
ned the cat continued to go with its
old friends, and whenever slop is fed
to the hogs the cat will be at the
trough to get its share of bread and
bits of meat, in the slop. The hogs
seem very found of their feline com
panion and the regard seems to be re-
%ciprocated,
This calls to mind the fact that sew
eral years ago, on the farm of F. D.
Lege, about three miles from Abbeville
there was a common cur dog who had
queer litter composed of two puppies
and three adopted pigs which she
sucked with perfect impartiality. The
pigs were fat and lively and got along
peaceably with the puppies.

The Abbeville boys knew very well
that their club was no match for the

backed-down gracefully. If the Alb

they will be cheerfully accommodated.
Lafayette Gazette.
The game of ball between the Able
vile and Lafayette teams did not come
off, though it must be said in justice to
the Lafayette boys that it was no fault
of theirs. 1t seems that there was
some disagreement or misunderstand-
ing between Mr.. Gordon Sandoz, the
manager of the park, and the Abbeyille
boys who fatty refused to play unless
so per cent of the gate receipts were
accorded the winning team. The La
fayette club appeared willing to make
concessions in order to play the game.
'-opelousas Clarion.
The above articles do the Abbeville
boys great injustice. They did decline
to 60 into the Park and play for 10 per
cent of the gate receipts when the La
fayette boys stood in with the park
manager would come in on a whack up
of the remaining 80 per cent. They
did not propose to play sucker and rake
in the stuff for the park and the Lafay-
cite club who were evidently in cahoot.
The Lafayette club refusing to play for
more than $40 or 10 per cent Of the
gate receipts the Abbeville club then
offered to play them outside OF the
park for any amount from 10 cents up
to 81 900 and some Opelousas sport Of
fered to stake the Abbeville boys for
800. The Lafayette boys firmly
declined. We don't doubt the Lafay-
cite boys can play ball but let them
talk less. Cab is cheap but 1t wont

Deafness cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed COZ
dltion of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine Eases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mu-
eous surfaces.
