WOULDN'T BURN HIS BOOTS



Though He Didn't Mind the Eject ON

After lie had sold his load Of wood

The Ohio, Cumberland, Tennes-

weather has set in and the people
of Madison, Tensas, Concordia
and the other parishes below US
are now beginning to see danger
almost at their very door by the
failure of the completion of the
Biggs and Reid levees. We are
told that the contractors do not
care whether these levees are COM
pleted or not, claiming that they
are, not to blame, Capt, New
conner should call the contractors
to time.
Very little is heard from the
Biggs and Reid levees in Madison
parish, and if the report is true
that 30-foot gauge is looked for
at Vicksburg, things are a long
ways from being bright for the
completion of these very large
levees. Another overflow would
be too much for the planters of
the lower parish to stand. 1t is to
be hoped that these levees will be
completed in time, Banner Demo

are only very few of the names
who disprove the assertion of the
editorial writer, and they are not
mere exceptions, they only prove
what was asserted 20O0 years ago.
''I'he children of Israel are merci-
ful, because they are descendants of
mercy" That Shakespeare erred
in his Characterization of the jew,
is too evident, because he knew
not, nor did he even come in con-
tact with one of'that race. And
such mistake in a poet is mex
cusable. l may differ with many
of the best, yet | can not help but
assert, that the great poet created
the character of q Shylock IN order
to castigate thepuritanical bigotry
and narrowness of his days, and in
his zeal oyer-drew the picture.
To describe the Jew as an alien,
inclined to segregation, is taking
a rather narrow view of a class Of
citizens who have so often proven
the contrary, and this accusation
may be dismissed as an error Of

your good nature and on the space
OF your valuable paper, let the
love of truth and the zeal for my
people be my excuse.
