laborer on account of the endless
variety of contracts by which land
is held and labor engaged. The
simple payment of wages by the
day or by the month is most un.
frequent occurrence. Different
proportional divisions of the pro-
duct, and all kinds of service and
com pensstion enter into these
agreements, according to the ma
ture of the product, or of labor
required, or of the traditional us
age of the district or sub-district.
The proportion of hired laborers
on any terms is very small, the
land being cut up into many dimi'
uutive holdings, not only by the
proprietors, but afterward sub
divided by the tenants themselves,
the occupants OF which reaps hut
scanty subsistence from narrow
allotments, by the united labor of
their families. There is, however,
definite graduation for the better
in the situation of the peasantry,
as one descends from the noun
tain valleys of Belluno, where
each little garden patch supports
a family, to the wider and more
fertile plains bordering on the
rivers Pc and Adige. Taking an
average, com pretending both sec
tions, the best information OBJ
tainable places the proportion Of
cultivators who work on shares,
at 7S per cent; of small proprie-
tors who till their own farms, Is
per cent, and of hired laborers, 7
per cent.
An estimate Of the lowest grade
of paid labor malel in the pro-
vince, working by the year, is $40
for IL months service, to which is
added about Sl2 in provisions or
rations. There is given, besides,
on larger farms furnished with
several buildings, couple Of
rooms for family lodging with the
use of the common kitchen. The
women, if able, add pittance by
| working in the fields at from 4 to
8 cents per day during the sum

| still smaller sum. On this a family

be done is only explainable by
the fact, that the principal food OF
the Venetian peasant is potenta, q
dish made from corn-meal = the

Died

At his homo in Tunica on Friday morn
ing, July 16, 1897, G. Hcrndon Reilly.
Mr.. Reilly had been sick for somo time
but no one felt but that he would recover
until Thursday, his sickness assumed a
serious nature, and before day Friday
morning he brcathed his last.
The community in which he livel has
met with a very serious loss. lie was one
whom all turned to when in trouble, land he
never failed to respond. He was quiet
and gentle in his nature but was always
in front when danger WAS expected.
Mr.. Rely always took a prominent in
terest in public affairs, and willingly lent
his energies and means to further adj
vancement of any measure that was to the
interest of the community. Noone, either
friend or foe, ever called on him in trouble
but he willingly assisted regardless o
who they were.
His body was taken to Centerviile
Miss, and buried in the family graveyard
attended by many friends and with appro
pirate services conducted by the Rev.J.N
Tucker.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors promo unced 1t q loc9
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incnrable'
Science has proven catarrh to be c"nsti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J: Cheney q
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally, in doses from 10 drops to a tea,

A Jockey Club or Fair?

In interviews with Messrs. J. +. Irvine
Jr. and Jos. Stern, those gentlemen very
courteously gave us their IDEAS with regard
to the reopening of the old fair grounds
Tho former says that Mr.. Stern, Mr.. '.
NJ. Jackson and others interested i'll fine
stock look favorably upon the plan, as
tho grounds could he put in order and
other necessary arrangements made at
comparatively slight expense, while the
several features of horse and bicycle races,
ball and other athletic games would
afford attractions sufficient to draw large
crowds from tho surrounding country.
Mr.. Jos. Stern the popular livery stable
man, is perhaps the person most enthusiasts"
tic on the subject. He wants to call the pro-
posed organization the Jockey Club, which
is undoubtedly the best name for it If there
are to be no agricultural and other indus
trial exhibits.
There is no reason in the world, that
West Feliciana should not have fair, as
good as any in this section, and no OBJ
stacle lies in the way that could not DC
removed or surmounted by perseverance
and determination; at the same time il
mi ght be we'll to begin with a jockey club
and gradually extend its purposes anf
aims until it is made to include all thu
attractions of the typical country fair.

to the enterprise, and stands ready t.
helm to advance its interests, i'll any wa!
that is possible for public print to do

plentiful supply of the lite-giving
and life-protecting fluid is worthy
of the most determined effort.
But in tile eagerness to secure
waterworks which is natural under
the circumstances, it is important
that the people beware of entertain
ing any plan Of putting III an in.

having something that will not
reduce insurance premiums3
On the other hand, the enthusiastic
may say that they would rather
have waterworks without insurance
than insurance without waterworks.
Well, that depends. Unless the
, 'waterworks come up to the stand
'ard, which insurance people have
found justihes them to give a love-
rate, the works will not equal insu
rance by q good deal. Aud IF TIL
works do come up to the STANDARD

case will bean additional Safeguard
