Editor st. Tammany FARAEs:
From what I hear, it has been . long
time since you have heard anything
from Vaudeville, aud l know you feel
interested In your little sister village,

write few lines and tell you what
saw and what have done since my ar
rival here few days ago. Some time
ago l received letters from ever 30
many children, asking me to be sure to
come to their homes, to bring them
something. Some wanted dollies,
Others books, pianos, stoves, and oh:
goodness, SO many things, l can't re-
member all. Anyhow, every one want
ed something. just didn't know what
to do. l had SO many other places to
go, l thought the best thing could do
was to have two trees fixed In different
parts Of the village, where l could stop
and leave the things had made for the
children. So went to Mrs. Dyer's
school first, and gave something to
each one Of her pupils, dolls, candy,
etc. Then | went to the Proiss.s:t

evergreens and holly, and . great big

me to fix the things, and they succeed.

see me, though. and / was kept busy
giving presents to the pretty little ones
there. Just before went In I heard
little girls and boys reciting and sing

EAST LOUISIANA BUYS A
BIG BOAT.
The Cape Charles Purchased for
POntchartrain Travel.
She Will Run Between Mande-
vile and Spanish Fort.

The New Orleans Picayune Of
last Saturday says:
Captain John Poitevent, of the
East Louisiana Railroad, was in
the city yesterday. He said that
the road contemplated some i'm
por'ant improvements, inclu ling
the purchase Of some new locomo-
tives, and some open cars, the lat
ter for summer traffic Some en-
closed cars Of the latest patti RI vii
also be purchased.
The company has bought the iron
transfer steamer Cape Charles.
which was built At an expense Of
$3.50, 900 for the Pennsylvania Rail
road, and was for five years used
to ferry the cars Of that road from
on" side to the other Of Chesapeake
bay. This is . very handsome
boat over ESQ feet long, and with
. tonnag. Of 900. She is equipped
with tracks for cars and cabin
passengers. She is also very fast,
and in every way . desirable sddi-
ton to tue company's aeet. Cap
tain Poitevent will put her in COM
mission between Vaudeville and
Spanish Fort, and tn. passenger
cara will be put aboard AMI crossed
from these two points without the
passengers having to get out. To
accommodate the boat, slips will be
built both ut Spanish Fort aud 1t
Vaudeville. They will run out To
ten feet Of water.
At Spanish Fort they will be 81
half mile long, and will have . neat
promenade with suitable ratings
running along thin. The railroad
tracks sill run along these clips,
but they will take up only aaemDll
part Of it, leaving : wide ) fol-
pedestrians. This feature will add
greatly to the enjoyableness ct the
resort.
Captain Poitevent says he will
freshen up Spanish Fort. aud every
year do something to make it pref
tier. He said that several Of the
electric roads we're talklng Of get
ting the privilege Of running cleo
trio cars from the city out to |
SIP ,nish Fort to handle the freight
as we'll - the passenger business. |
Captain Poitevent said that nothing |
had besn done, but he be-
lieved that something Of the sort
would eventually be done.
Captain Poilevent left yesterday |
evening for his home across the
lake.

BONNIE AND BLUE.


Covingtcn, La, Jan. 3, 1856.
Editor s.. Tammany FARaeER
Dear Sir-Upon reading that Sena'
tor Hill's bill, removing al liabilities
from old Confederate soldiers, had
passed the Senate, looked over some
war relies left by my father, who would
be one Of the grey coated, gray-beard-
ed veterans, were he alive 70 day.
/ found an envelope, quaint in manu-
facture, and yellow with age. It Il
made Of wall paper, whose moss-roses
and grape leaves are faded and changed
by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. In It I
small Confederate dag, . few bills o.
Confederate currency, . copy Of thu
COMPANIES roll call, and miniature o.
Gen. r. E. Lee. After looking ovel
these, folded them away, and wrota
across the envelope:
BONNIE AND BLUE.
Take 1t up tenderly,
Fold it away;
Oft it hath Swallowed
The soldier in grey.
Take it up tenderly,
b They were SO true,
Who followed the nag
That was Bonnie and Blue.
Take it up tenderly,
Those are SO far,
Who watched in its brightness
That one Bonnie Star.
Take it up tenderly,
Enshrine it anew
They who fought under it
Are aged and few.
Take it up tenderly,
Oh! daughter and son;
-. Victory and glory
In its pathway were won.
Take It up tenderly,
Heaven Is true
To the soldier that fought
For the Bonnie and Blue.
Take it up tcnderly.
Crest in the shade.
Over the River"
Sleeps the Brigade.
Take it up tenderly,
Guard 1t with care:
Never again will 1t

Baxter Springs, Kansas.

On Thursday night the Baldwin
opera house was crowded to stand
ing room by an enthusiastic lot of
people who assembled there 10 hear
Hon. o. 7. Boaz, a former Rcpubli-
can, rip the gold standard idea up
the back, and to hear Hon. L. r.
Ridgeley, candidate for congress
from this district, expound the doc
trine of the people as enunciated
by three great political parties.
After music by the orchestra, com.
posed of f. ID. Gill and daughter,
Ed. Fribley and Don Fenton, Mr..
+. G. Hogan, chairman of the meet.
ing, in few appropriate remarks,
introduced Mr.. Boaz, who for two
hours gave the audience talk from
the standpoint Of free silver Re-
publican. Mr.. Boaz campaigned
this state in 1890, W and '9i for the
Republican party when ii advocat, d
the free coinage of silver, and he
would have done so again this year
had not the party, as he declared,
been sold to the gold trust, and
therefore he took his stand on the
side of the people aud the peoples
champion, Wm. ]. Bryan, refusing
to be delivered as one of the chat
tells of the Republican party in the
year 1896. Mr.. Boaz used letters,
campaign books of former years
and uttcrances of men who have
been high in the affairs of state, to
prove the truth of his assertions,
made quite hit when he reminded
the audience that no Republican of
distinction had ever yet failed, at
some time or other, to advocate the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
i6 10 l. After music by the orches-
ira Hon. +. II. Ridgeley was intro
duced to the audience. Mr.. Ridge
ley did not, as most speakers do,
make lot of preliminary remarks,
but got down to business immedi-
ately. He showed beyond contra
diction that an effort is being made
to saddle an obsolete gold standard
upon the people of this great coun-
try who are supposed TO be free and
independent. He described so
clearly the distinction between
money and property that the dumb
est could not fail to understand, and
made the iniquities of a gold stand.
ard 80 plain that he who runs, even
though wayfarer and fool, may
read. The value of a dollar under
a single standard was made so ap-
parent, so plain, that all might un-
derstand. Mr.. Ridgeley has
strong, commanding voice. and II
reached to the utmost limits of the
hall during his discourse.

And what is more, the people of

just this: No bridge at Lowell and
no iron approaches at Baxter. then
no new Jail.

On Saturday night Lieutenant
Governor James y. Troutman deliv-
cred an address at the opera house
from Republican high tariff gold
standard point to fair sized audi
ence. Mr.. Troutman is a pleasing
speaker and made several hits from
his standpoint, and it is too bad
that he persists in worshipinga
golden calf. He dealt during his
speech what the gold men declared
were telling blows at the silverites,
but the latter are positive that if
they were hurt by the speech they
don't know il. But then, as mat
ter of fact, the gold men are some
what hampered this year. The
people are "onto their job" and it
Mr.. Troutman didn't make very
hit to those who heard
him il wasn't his fault. He did the
best he could aud that is as good as
a wooden man can do.

ABOUT THE NEW JAIL.

Notices have been posted up all
over the county that at the general
election to be held November ga
proposition will be submitted TO
the taxpayers as to whether or not
$4,000 in bonds shall be issued
for the purpose of building new
Jail at Columbus. Well, now, we are
against bonding the taxpayers of
the county for new Jail until the
county commissioners can see
their way clear to put a bridge
over Shoal creek at Lowell. Not
that Cherokee county doesn't need
a new Jail, but we are not in favor
of improving that portion of the
county in which the Jail is located
until the southeast part of the
county gets something. The only
decent road from this part of the
county TO Galena or east is by way
of Lowell, and when Shoal creek or
Spring river gets up travel is inn
peded until the waters recede.
Again, when the high water in
December swept the approaches to
the Baxter bridge away, shutting
off all travel east and west, the
commissioners promised to put in
iron approaches, and gave our peo-
pie to-understand that the wooden
structures, which were put in, were
only temporary affairs. They are
still in position, however, and moth
ing has been donetoward replacing
them with iron. s
For these and other reasons we
are opposed to the new jail project,
but with these objections removed

don't want to 60 through again.
The doctor was called to the terrific

patient and while on the way back
his team became frightened at
something and shied of into the
woods. The doctor and his wife
were thrown out and the team pro-

Troutman is recognized as a leader
among the Prohibitionists in this
state, but in his speech in this city
last Saturday night he made a
