Drou.h ON Chenlere au Tigre,

Private advices received here indi-
cate that the people living at Cheniere
au Tigre are indeed having a hard
time Of it this year. They have had
no rain since the first part of April, the
fruit crop has been a failure,as also the
melons, cotton and corn. The pastur-
age is very seanty, the leaves of the
grass being covered with a salty de-
post, and the supply of water will soon
be exhausted. as the pumps are kept
going steadily. A heavy rain would
be a godsend to these people and ward
off the danger of Charlton.

stock Law Repealed.

The ordinance passed by the Police
Jury at its session in July, %forbidding
the running at large of live stock in
the parish after January l, 1898, was
repealed by the Police Jury at its meet
ing Tuesday. Considerable opposition
to the law developed in the End, 9th
and 7th wards where there are still
large bodies of open land fit only for
pasturage.
1t was a tie vote 5 to 3 and Presi-
dent Sarver took the matter under ad-
visement a short time and before the
close of the session decided in favor of
repeal of the ordinance.

J. N. Foutz, an enterprising rice plant

thinks the deep wells will solve the water
question in this parish and will be cheaper
than canals. On the Garland rancho
there are two eight inch and two six inch
wells, sunk about 165 feet and they will
furnish an abundant supply of splendid
water.

Lilies Rare.

A playful child strayed by
The winding stream,
Gathering posies sweet and wild
The ehild's bright eye,
In rapture CLEANS,
To view the tiorets beauty mild,
And then a dream, a fairy dream,
The childish mind employs.
Far reaching sight, views, a streamlet
green,
With flowers floating, everywhere,
The child in ecstasy exelaims,

Where mothers pot of lilies, rich and rare
Rear their majestic glossy green, in good
array.
"Ah, beautiful lilies, you shall be free!n
AND with eager childish hands grasps
The nodding lilies so fair to see,
Back to the streamlet she HES
And with simple grace casts.
The lilies rare in the silent waters.
The lilies bow as they glance,
At the broadening smile, of the silent
waters
The child with merry dance
Cries aloud Sail on my lilies rare,
Reach forth your waxen leaves of green,
Glisten in the sunlight's CLEAN.
Congenial waters your beautiful r~ootlets
feed,
Grow, grow
The streamlet soon hid its face
Beneath the green of lilies rare,
The lilies grew, and grew apace
Until the streamlet no longer held space
For their wondrous gro with so fair,
And yet they seemed to strive,
For farther reaching conquest.
On they sail, hailed by delighted admira.

Chased by childish glee,
Far into distant waters.
Up and down. around, around in giddy
whirl,
In silent march, in stately court.
The Ii es rare, Der the waters held sway.
Vain ambition surely leads to downfall
dire
And lilies rare, were doomed to meet,
Ambitions deep dismay.
All lilies, beautiful lilies, know ye not
Your precious charms lay.
In your modest secluded rarityi
Doomed my lilies rare, doomed my lilies

AS crashing wheel Of giant steam
Crush your leaf and stem
Crush your ~1orets, ~rootlets all
Into nothingness-grass, grass every
