During the civil war, as we'll as in
our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was

Greene Co., Pa, is one Of these. He
uses Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

perhaps they can twist their con-
stitution to get the baggageman under

about weight, or We'll charge them less
if they say it's light, or what, but we

State Fair has been fixed for May u,
and the Fair will remain open twenty
three dayswhich last years expe-
6rience shows to be about the right
me-time enough to allow every one
to visit the grounds. rhe last Fair
was great success, FAR greater than
expected, and proved that the people
Of New Orleans and vicinity appreci-
ate an Exposition Of this kind; but Ii
was greatly hampered BY the fact
that there was not sufficient time for
preparation. Everything was done
in q hurry, and, consequently, was
not done as well as it should have
been had more time been allowed for
preparation.
