E. H. PEYTON.

Our announcement column car
ries today the announcement of E.
H. Peytou for representative from
this county.
Mr.. Peyton is a successful farmer
and a man of more than average
ability, and should he be selected
to represent us, would make a good
officer. He has lived here and in
adjoining counties tor forty years,
and has followed the fortunes Of
the democratic party through all OF
its victories and defeats, and now
that he has served well in the party
ranks and abided his time in asking
favor at its hands, he believes, as
do many of his friends, that he
should be rewarded. The democrats
will, however, in their primary, have
the say at the ballot. box as to whom
this Office belongs, and Mr.. Peyton
will not complain should they turn
him down for some other We ask
the voters to give his candidacy a
careful consideration.

A couple of teams became fright.
ened this morning and ran off with
the wagon attached to them One
of the teams headed for the 16 to /
saloon and was only stopped at the
door by the tongue coming in con
tact with the door which was knock
ed off the hinges and thrown
against a show case smashing it
pretty badly. The noise of the con-
tact caused the newspaper report
ers to gather there for the item.
Mr.. Lipsy was on watch at the time
but presented a smiling front not
the least disturbed by the accident
but was making inquiry as to whom
the team belonged and the proba-
oility of the owner paying for the
repairs the damage would cost,

THEY DRANK AT THE WELL.

The daily papers OF Shreveport
have been filed full Of baseball talk
for week as a foreruuner for q
meeting which was called 20 meet
at the Board of Trade rooms tor the
purpose Of putting a salaried ball
team in the field and joining the
Red River Valley League The
people OF Shreveport have always
stood ready 10 buy railroads invest
in factories, aud have heretofore
spent their money on baseball
drinking from the we'll freely but
this accounts from the Shreveport
Journal. Of the meeting tells plain
Iy that they have found bah playing
a poor investment and will not put
up their long green in this direction
again.
The meeting of the base bal
cranks which was down on the bills
to take place at the Board Of Trade
last night at 6 o'clock proved a dis
mai failure.
The appointed hour found only a
few Of the pure in heart lovers OF
the big game on hand and they sat
around for some time awaiting toI
the Others, who never came, They
we're hopeful at first, but as the big
clock upon the wall of the telegraph
office slowly ticked of the passing
seconds and minutes as they one by
one relapsed into silence and put
ting on their hats went out upon
the streets to meet the other
cranks who would not lend their as
sistance even by their presence,
The few who were present were sad.
Iy disappointed at the lack of inter-
est shown by the community al
large and if Shreveport gets into
the league now it will be by the
dlnt of the hardest kind Of work.
The Journal is sorry, but has the
satisfaction of knowing it did all il
could.

We see from a Spanish newspaper
that some Spanish marquis has said
that in case of war with the United
States the old Southern states that
seeded from the union would revolt
and join Spain. This fellow is speak
ing from a Spanish standpoint,
where treachery is rampant at all
times, and is measuring Southern
men by a Spanish tape-measure.
The marquis is playing off his base,
and should we have war, and this
gentleman, who is so flip to talk
about what the South would do,
should happen to be in an engage
ment, we will bet our hat that the
first bayonet he runs up against
will be in the hands of a Southern
soldier.
