In answer to a question of JUS
tice raised by our able contempt
airy, the Ibeiran, in the case of Mr..
Lehman, when the Town authori-
ties exacted from him a peddler's
license, we can tell him that in
our knowledge it has never come
to the attention of the authorities
that any peddlers from New Or
leans or elsewhere have been do
ing business in this town, but we
can tell him that last year, one of
our own merchants, who had taken
a store license, engaged in the
very same business as Mr.. Leh-
man did, which the Town authori-
ties classed as peddling, and de-
manded of him the payment of a
peddlers license, which he peremp-
torlly refused, stating as Mr.. Leh-
man did, that he was taking or
ders and delivered the goods after
having taken the orders, the Town
sued him, and the decision of the
court was rendered in favor of the
Town and the merchant, Mr.. Chas.
Gueriniere, was compelled to pay
the peddler's license and the costs
of the suit. BY this our friend of
the Iberian will see that our idea
was not to make an injustice to a
citizen of sister town because we
commenced by one of our own,
and we enforced the collection of
the license after a decision of the
court.

We have noticed several times

We have noticed several times
that the iron bridge is not proper
ly screwed up after it has been
opened and the traffic over it eau
ses it to shake and vibrate to such
an extent as to cause injury to the
bridge. The keeper should make
it his duty to turn the screws SO
as to make the bridge stand firm
on the end foundation to prevent
it from shaking. If the keeper
was to attend to his work himself,
he would probably do the work
we'll, but We understand that very
often the opening of the bridge is
done by young boys, which should
not be, this bridge has cost too
much money to risk it in the hands
of irresponsible boys. Several
persons have told US that very Of
ten the end screws are not proper
ly set and the bridge shake when
there is traffic over it. This should
be remedied and at once.

BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all abou. Her. Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
cat the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. ! also took Hoods
Sarraparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the cores were we'll and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured BY
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful: My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. S. WROrKN, Farming

The famous section 5 of the
suffrage has been adopted by the
constitutional convention with all
its Objectionable features. The
foreigner of the lowest class is a
privileged voter, whether he can
read or not, or whether he owns
property or not, he will be voter
for all times to come, a privilege
which is not accorded our native
citizens. Another class of people
will have right tc vote because
their fathers were voters thirty
years ago. The hirelings of Fos-
ter and his gang have passed this
law Notwithstanding the fact that
such men as McEnery, Gallery and
the best authorities within the
Democratic ranks have declared
that that section was a violation
of the constitution of the United
States. The Messenger will not
be surprised by any work done by
the convention, it predicted what
could be expected by anything
manipulated by Foster and his
corrupt administration and we are
having the fruit of their labors,
which are designed for the perpe-
tuation of dishonesty, fraud and
corruption.
