Against the Drouth.

"Hard times" is the cry now
and the Fall and Winter is looked
forward to with dread by many In
the drouth stricken region of North
Louisiana. Crops are reduced
over so per cent in every part of
this section, and in the worst dis
tricts the crops are a total failure,
and stock are dying for the want
of grass and water.
There is nothing that can COM
pletely repair this serious damage,
but absolute want and suffering
can be avoided by following the
rains, which must and will come
in a few days, with the many Au-
tumn crops which can be grown
to perfection in this climate.
Irish potatoes, turnips, radishes,
onions and other esculents, will
mature to perfection planted any
time in August, or even to 18th of
September, and will do much to-
ward feeding hungry. people, or
piecing out supplies that may be
bought or saved from the drouth.
Then oats, rye and peas, will
make excellent pasture and forage
for stock, while the two first named
will ripen a crop of grain SO early
in the Spring that the short crop
of corn will hardly be missed.
So the energetic farmer-the
most Independent and self-reliant
person on earth-will not despair,
but will tighten up his belt, take
another hitch in his ''gallus" and
90 patiently on with his task of
feeding himself and the nations of
the earth, and if he continues edu-
eating himself on political econo-
my-will In a few'more years, RULE
the nations of earth as well as feed
them.
Then a drouth will not be such
a serious matter as now.

Correction.

We notice in the Peoples Party
Paper and some others, the vote of
the st. Louis Populist convention
on the minority report of the COM
mittee on rules and order of bust
ness, which was the selection of the
Vice. Presidential candidate first,
and the winning move of the "mid-
dle-of- the-roaders," In this vote
Louisiana is recorded 9 yeas and
26 nays, which is not correct. Lou
isiana had 80 votes in the conven-
ton, and on this question cast %
for the minority and 1 for the ma
jority report.
On the vote for Vice-President
Louisiana gave Watson 30, and Sc
wall 2, and about the same proper
ton in favor of all other ''Middle-
of-the-Road" actions.
But for the sake of the great
Peoples party of the West, and to
show our sincerity for free coinage
of silver and to secure it at this
election, we gave Bryan 80 votes
for President, to 2 not voting.
We took this position in the face
of the abuse, ridicule and swind-
ling we have received at the hands
of the Democrats of this State, in
the face of the fact that the Repub-
licans had offered us one-half the
electors on a combine ticket TO vote
for whom we liked, and in the face
of the fact that palm-itching DEM
ocrats had already charged that
McKinIey's doodle would control
us against Bryan and in favor of a
combine ticket.
Now if the Democrats know any
thing about such patriotism and
will exercise just a little of it by
taking down Mr.. Sewall, Watson
and Bryan will march to a glorious
EvictorY.

Certain sections of this State,
the hill portions especially, have
suffered go much from the drouth
that the people will be compelled
t. ask for help. Crops are runined ;
no corn, none of the smaller crops
such as potatoes, fruit, vegetable,
etc., which is a large part of their
sustenance. Truly, the drOuth
stricken district is in q deplorable
condition. A rain now would do
nothing more than furnish water,
and help pasturage.

A Dramatic Episode.
NIOnrOe Bulletin.)

The repeated outbreaks of en-.
thusiasm ut St. Louis showed how
earnest the delegates were. OF all
the scenes in that convention none
were more thrilling than that which
followed Judge Gunby's nomination
of Tom Watson on Friday night
Ex- Congressman Pence of New
York had made strong appeal for
the nomination of Sewall and had
challenged any delegate to answer
his arguments. The friends of
Watson felt depressed and yearned
for some one to answer Pence.
When Louisiana was called Judge
Gunby stood in his chair and spoke
for five minutes with such effect
that the whole audience, including
delegates and galleries, rose to their
feet and engaged in perfect ova-
ton of applause which lasted for
several minutes during which Judge
Gunby was carried around the hall
on the shoulders of the enthusiast
tic Georgians. From that time on
Watson swept the field and was
declared the unanimous nominee of
that great convention. The follow
| ing is a brief sketch of Judge Gun
by's speech:
"Mr. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES joins
the throng OF states that are rally
ing under the banner of gallant
Tom Watson. Sir, no impartial
observer of this convention can
deny that the Peoples party has
within its own ranks plenty of ma
terial to fill the highest Offices with
honor. 1t has broad statesmen,
deep thinkers, noble patriots, and
imperial orators among whom l
will mention but one, the brave,
1.-THE true, the uncompromising Tom
Watson, the plumed knight of pop
ulism who never deserted friend
or compromised "A principle, the
foremost living patriot.
| Nobody ever accused him of try
ing to put the new wine of popu-
Ilism into old democratic bottles.
"Mr. Chairman, l do not wish
to attack any other man placed in
nomination here, but the defiant
tone of the gentleman from New
York demands reply. do not
understand why this convention
lshould nominate a president of a
national bank in order to put down
banks. do not understand, and
the gentleman from New York
has not enlightened me, why We
SHOULD nominate a railroad mag
nate to check the expressions and
monopolies of railroads. Nor can
l conceive how sensible men could
select the greatest corporationist
of New England in order to des-
| troy the encroachmcnts of Organi-
zed corporate greed. l nominate
a man who can stand on the plat
form we have adopted with both
feet. nominate a man who will
never withdraw, never waver, new
er pause in the battle for the peo-
pies cause.
"Mr. Chairman, this is the first
convention since the war in which
the South can hope to be heard. The
old parties since the war have not
dared to place southern man on
their presidential ticket. The Peo-
pies party alone has truly wiped
out sectional lines and today the
South comes into this convention
as equals among equals, friends
among friends and dares to claim
the highest honors for her favorite
sons.
1.-THE man nominate typifies
the highest and noblest political
element in the South. He has been
a martyr and hero in the fight
for FREQ sneech and honest elections

Patriotism Tested.

insinccre upon the principles they
advocate.
Following up these ISLANDERS the
Democrats of the South have APP
piled political, social and financial
oppression to force back if posi-
BILE those who dared leave their
party in obedience to principle and
conscience.
Though used in all ages by par
tlsan fools to strengthen their own
organizations, persecution has new
err yet failed to help the cause
against which it was directed and
to destroy its own originators. :
So the Peoples party has -four
ished in the South by reason of its
expressions. Witness the Hon.
Amazon Murphy, of Atlanta, Ga,
who says 81 was made a Populist
when /, as a Democrat, was fore
ed to protect Tom Watson from
being rotten-egged in the city of
Atlanta" ''It was the intolerance
of the Democratic party that fore
ed me into the Peoples party"
But this is not the worst feature
of the situation. Overcoming all
this oppression, intolerance and
mountain obstacles by unexampled
patience, self-denials and hcroism
of brave men and true women, the
Peoples party have won battle af-
ter battle, election after election,
only to have the fruits of their
hard-earned victory STOLEN under
cover of darkness, fraud and high
way robbery, as black as hell itself.
As much as one may urge that
the Democratic party has reformed
itself and cast off its corrupt lead
ers in nominating the young hero
of the West, it can be shown that
the men who ran the machine at
Chicago and placed the Westerner
in nomination, are the same men
who have stepped the party in its
blacklist frauds in the South for
the past 20 years.
Imagine then the patriotism, the
deep devotion to the cause of free
silver which must have actuated the
Populists of the South at the St.
Louis convention, when more than
2-thirds of them voted for the Dem
ocratic nominee for President, VIM.
j. Bryan.
Nor can it be attributed to the
supposed desire of new Populists
to return to the Democratic fold,
for the delegate from New York
who placed Col. S. F. Norton in
nomination was perhaps the young
est Populist in the convention,
while Judge Gunby, the newest
Populist in the Louisiana delega-
ton, was its most ardent middle
of-the-roader."
Nor yet can it be ascribed to an
imaginary desire of the old liners
to give up the fight for party and
rest their tired limbs in the cavern.
GUS NAV of the D. .. p, for there
in the serried phalanx for Bryan
and Watson, stood the men who
first lifted their voices against the
old parties-the men like PETER
and Simpson, who first dangled
Republican scalPs at their belts,
and like Howard and Butler, who
first laughed at the Democratic
hoodlum of the South. In the
Louisiana delegation stood Brian
and Mills, who represented their
State in the Cincinnati conference
in 1891, at the birth and christen-
ing of the Peoples party, who
have borne the charge of Lottery,
Republican, and every other kind
|of doodle ever since then. :
This action of the Southern Pop
ulists in accepting the Democratic
nominee at St. Louis to save the
cause of free silver which was dis

 "Ladies in the bloom of their wrin- kles" is one of the funniest definitions of elderly sirens who have proved ire sistible, and, according to one of the wTiters. we must include Helen of Troy amongst these aged charmcrs. Helen. says the pitiless one, was so when she ran of with Paris.
 Cleoratra, we all know, was old enough for Shakespeare to write of her that 'H@r' could not wither her when she fasc. mated an amorous Antony of nearly three-score and ten.
 But more amusing still is the letter of young lady" who has had more adulation aud attention" than falls to the lot of most of her sex, and eonse- quently has had considerable experi- ence ID love at all ages.

All eyes were turned toward the door ,o witness the entrance of the brides and the bridesmaidswitht the rest of the bridal party, and the slow pro- eession up to the communion table. In a few minutes all had arrived, and the imposing ceremony had commenced. At this moment the spectacle presented was an extremely interesting one. The large bridal party exhibited every ele- Eance of costume. and the dresses of the ladies belonging to it, as well as those of many among the spectators, made up very brilliant and attractive scene, lit up, as it was, by splendid sunshine, The ceremony was performed by Hon. and Rev. c.
