At the town council meeting Thurs
day afternoon it was decided after con-
siderable discussion to remove the trees
from the town park. Messrs. Booth,
Ball and Simons favored it while Bergh
and Hay opposed it. We fail to see
why the park should be set back to
where it was in 1887. A good many Of
our citizens have spent lots of money
for shade and ornamental trees since
that year, and without any desire to
prejudice their answer We would simply
ask: what kind of tree is best suited for
this section?

But if not asking too much;
Gold-bug Charley would confer a
great favor On many by exhibit
ing the photographs Of those thir-

They want to SEQ what the other

The question now is, who takes
the most credit for it: Captain
jim or "the noble Harry?"
But do you suppose the great
Bossier leader can be undecided
about WHICH Mr.. Breazeale will
give the credit to;
If the returns should send him
to Congress9
No doubt this feature was en-.
tirely overlooked.
And coming down to brass

Improbable investment any way.

Has the negro ever more COM

was also demanded?
Citizens were out yesterday
hunting for the hobos WHO voted
under their names Wednesday.
The people are very muchly
wrought up over the Natchitoches
vote;
And should Mr.. Breazeale be
declared the nominee any way;
he would feel Inundated if q dis.
gusted Democracy remained away
from the polls,
And let the Populist candidate
win.
But being the candidate of.ma-

zeale is not at all uneasy;
Because what would be lacking
in voters, could be made up in
bull-dozing

Reflections On The Election.

No>S
Because that is an old story
which the people are tired of,
however much truth there may be
in it.
But we will respectfully call the
attention of Governor Foster to
the vote in Caddo.
Hon. J. NJ. is a wheel-horse, but
he is not invincible.
Mack Huckabay is hard horse
to curry.
Ward Two still sticks to her
favorite son. Hurrah! for brave,
dhivalrous Mack!
And Rev. L. D. D. Ivans, the grand
old patriot from Ward Two. Incorrupt-
ible, pure and manly, he is a valiant
warrior for the right.
And D. D. Dodd at Myrtis. Whoever
saw any flies on him?
What did you say about Vivian? All
yes, DR.. Rawls was there. And so was
DR.. McLemore. And w ]. Morris was
there or Whereabouts.
Inc fact there were others who
threw off the brass collar,
And refused to be lead around with
haltar.
Since speaking, we think Jack EN-
mons must have been near one Of
the polls.
We tackled the U. S. marshal
and his deputy; the State, parish
and city administrations.
Yes, the mayor with his police
force and fire department lined
up against Sutherlin:
If Captain Jim refers to Col. Ward
and Senator Barrel of their force voting
for Sutherlin.
Just offset that with the statement
that Mr.. Toombs and Representative
Trezevant for Breazeale.
With Congressman Ogden just
spreading himself the same way.
Ands s 5! O gee whizz!
Glory! but the long green do
get in its work at our primary
elections.
Oh yes, G. d. Hicks was in Ward Two
Just before the election and he made
few talks to some Of the steady yeoman-
many there.
Well, he and Warb Two have always
been strong friends. He has never tried
to deceive them; has always cham
pionep ttoir cause.
The Breazeale forces got more of the
purchasable vote in Wednesdays cleo
lion.
Wonder where they keep their depos-
is? The supply seemed inexhaustible.
Are we telling a grievance now? Not
/ bit of it. The people have enough
.roubles Of their own.
Captain Jim got terribly uneasy at one
lime Wednesday. My, how the old vet
ran did buckle down to hard work.
But in these remarks we are
registering no kick on that score.
Gracious! what a combination |
ran up against Wednes-
lay.
And it is really amyozin to hear !
he Breazeale rooters talk about it.
They say now that they are
'greeably surprised at the run

While before the election, they
claimed every body and every
hing.
Guess however, they had their
minds on Natchitoches parish.
