COTTON.

Present quotations of Cotton are low,
regarded by experts as being near cost OF
production; hence the preference Of some,
perhaps many, to hold rather than sell
ing at present prices.
Being assured of this fact by cores
pondence reaching me daily, 1 take this
method of giving notice to the public,
and especially those who have addressed
me, that arg prepared to advance Cash
or Groceries, or both, on all Cotton that
may be shipped me with request to hold;
will take pleasure in liquidating matur-
ing obligations of planters or merchants
in the interior that may be payable at
Shreveport, or by exchange on New York,
St. Louis or New Orleans Or cash may
be drawn on drafts attached to bills OF
lading covering cotton.
My charges are reasonable, and storing
facilities unsurpassed, and the lowest ex-
listing rate Of insurance in Shreveport is
secured.
Will be pleased to further correspond
with shippers OF Cotton, either for sale

given a preliminary trial before
Judge A. D. Land, Tuesday morn
ing for the killing OF Mr.. Hey
man Roberts on Friday, 10Th ut.
The State was represented by
Hon. John R. Land, district at
torney, the defendant by Hon. NJ,
G. ElstneT.
By the large mum der OF citizens
of Ward Two who We're in attend
ance on the trial, it could easily be
seen that the sentiment and symp-
athv were all with Mr.. Harrell.
When the testimony Of Mr.. f.
c. Christian, the first witness in
troduced by the State, was finished,
it was firmly established in the
minds Of all who were in attend
ance that the accused was thor
ouellly justiflable in his actions.
Mr.. Christian was followed by
some five or six witnesses. all OF
whom more and more established
the fact that Mr. Harren was
forced to his act to save his own
life.
At the conclusion of the State s
testimony-really ali were Tor the
defense-Mr. Harrell said a few
words for himself, when, without
waiting for speeches-if either at
torney desired to sp eak-Judge
Land ordered the accused dis
charged, saying it was a clear case
of self-defense.
At tn conclusion OF the
trial. Mr.. HarrelIs mum erous
friends from the country and city
crowded around him and extended
their congratulations and express
sions of goodwill and personal
friendship.
No one regrets this deplorable
homicide more than Mr.. Price
Harren himself. 1t was thrust
upon him and he only took this
terrible means of suppressing Mr.
Roberts onslaught when his own
life was placed in jeopardy.
1t was developed in the trial
that the deceased was a quarrel
some, turbulent, dangerous man.
His record was bad and he was
dreaded on account Of his DISPOSE

Having met with the highest sue
cess IN the manufacture and sale of
the e Etellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Cumpany's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling a laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene.
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most nefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but il
in need of a laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

Mr.. Pettus, a very new Sena-
tor from Alabama, has contri-
buted to the gayety of Washing
ton by demanding an investiga-
ton of the methods by which the
newspaper correspondents are
able to publish the sayings and
doing of the Senate when in exec
utive session. This is a mystery,
says an exchange, that has vexed
the souls of two generations Of
Senator'S, who persisted in re-
garding it as crime for news
papers to publish the news when
it concerns the Proceedings of the
Senate behind closed doors. The
proposed investigation is silly
and needless. The only factthat
it can possibly develop is that the
correspondents obtain their in.
formation from the Senators
themselves, but from which SEN
