Beneath the starry skies,
That though he lived thousand years
He'd never advertise;
But ere another year rolled round
He told a different tale
His ad was set in nonpareil
And headed, "Sheritf's Sale."

The tendency to worry is a matter
OF personal idiosyncracy, and it is not
easily accounted for on scientific
grounds. Some people worry about
nothing, and some people let nothing
worry them. No doubt the condition
of the latter is the more enviable;
but it is not always to be attained by
striving. You meet one man who has
most things that should make him
happy-wealth, social position, do
nestle ties, congenial occupation
and you find him gloomy, depressed,
apprehensive, prey to perpetual low
spirits. Another, who has real sor.
rows enough to crush anybody to the
earth, is comparatively cheerful
Perhaps, it may be said, so far as any
general axiom can be ventured, that
those who have known real trouble
are less inclined to worry than those
whose experiences have been, on the
whole, fortunate and easy.

NE WSPAPERN.

Last Saturday the Catahoula News
celebrated its twenty fifth anniversa-
~. The Banner rejoices in it's broad
ening field of usefulness, advancing
position and growing prosperity.
The first of September the New
Orleans Times-Democrat eclipsed all
it's former efforts at Trade Issue.
It contained 36 pages, and the issue
was most creditable to the enterprise
and capacity of that excellent paper.
The Times-Democrat is a great paper.
The Shreveport Outlook, General
Leon Jastremski, editor and proprie-
tor, came out Monday, presenting a
very attractive appearance. Its edi-
tor is an able and polished writer,
a thorough Democrat, and will make
an interesting paper. The Banner
wishes for the Outlook hearty sup.
port.
The first of September issue of the
New Orleans Picaynne contained 36
pages, the major portion of which
were devoted to the industrial inter
ests of New Orleans, the State OF
Louisiana and the South. It con-
tanned also interesting reading mat
ter gathered from the four corners of
the earth. Such splendid journalism
should receive unstinted praise from
all quarters.
The first of September, or Trade
issue, of the New Orleans States is a
magnificent edition of thirty-two
pages. The States is to be congrat-
ulated not only for this issue, but
merits constant congratulations for
its tireless enterprise, the vivacity
and ability Of its editorial work, and
beauty of it's dress. The States is a
sine qua non and an inspiration to
Louisiana journalism.
