Sidewalks.

Justice McEnery has rendered a
very impor ant decision which up
holds the rights Of municipal cor
pcrations to require the paving Of
streets. Under this decision the
city Of Baton Rouge can compel
property owners to not only repair
their sidewalks but to lay new
ones. It is hoped that our muni-
cipal administration will get 20 work
now and compel the repair OF GER
tain sidewalks aud . decent paving
OF others that are in . disgraceful

A cold wave arrived last Mon

A cold wave arrived last Mon
day, and on Tuesday We had ice
and sleet. 1t was . cold, dark and
dismal day. The housetops, trees
and ground were white with .
heavy coating Of sleet, and icycles
hung from the caves and branches.
Wednesday dawned bright, clear
and cold, but during the day the
sun melted the ice and sleet, ex-
cept in shady places, and the
streets and sidewalks were slushy.
The weather continued cold
Thursday and Friday, with plenty
of ice and sleet in spots where the
sun did not penetrate.

We received a pleasant visit las,
Friday from Messrs. James M. Bar.
nett and John Murray, of Grand
Rapids, Michigan, members of tho
St. Tammany Land and Lumber
Co., accompanied by their ener.
getic agent, Mr.. w. r. Steckert.
The gentleman are here looking
after the interests of their Com.
pany in this Parish.
The Town Hall, without any
stoves or heating apparatus, ex-
cept three small oil stoves, is =
very uncomfortable place to hold
Court during cold weather, such As
we have had this week. 1t is
enough to chill the conscience of
the most hardened lawyer, and
seems like an imposition upon the
innocent jurors and litigants. The
new Courthouse will be finished
for the June term, and then We
can boast of having one of the finest
temples of justice in the State.

Sheriff Strobe arrived from Sill.
dell last Saturday evening with the
negro murderer, Frank Thigpen,
and lodged him in the Parish Jail.
Thigpen is accused of the muir.
der of Lee Gully, another negro,
in Vaudeville, last April. Ac-
cording to the statement of the
prisoner, he does not seem to have
been justifiable. The particulars,
according to his statement are as
follows:
Thigpen took Qualley's dinner
bucket from him: some words en-
sued. Thigpen visited the house
of woman and attempted to bor-
row a shotgun, and upon being re-
fused took the gun by force, and
returning, called Quilley out from
a congregation and deliberately
shot him down.

version is real. They give up lying and stealing they deny themselves for the work of the Lord. The North China mission has 1898 Chinese con- yerts connected tn it. Their contri- buttons have been $575, or enough to support II native pastors, one pastor to every 1e5 members, which is very good when you consider that they have almost nothing to give, good wages being six cents day.
 Almost everyone has heard of the crueltiss practised upon the women of China, but surely no one in MT Roberts, Sunday evening audience had ever be- fore dreamed of the siokening details of the sad story that he told.
