Fine Plantation Sold.

Slowly but surely the tide OF vest
ern immigration is setting in towards
Vermilion. And no one mar in the
parish has done more to bring about
this and do for Vermilion what the
Dusons have done for Acadia, than
our hustling real estate agent, Capt.
w. d. Gooch. Last week he effected
the sale of the old Girard Decuir
plantation just below Perry's Bridge
to Anthony Vollmer of Macon. Its
for the sum of $40, 1000. Mr. Vollmer,
was SO well pleased with the bargain
ard the country that he asked Capt.
Gooch to christen the place for him
which he promptly did, naming It
aLive Oak" a most appropriate
title az it is adorned by a handsome
grove of these majestic monarchs OF
the forest. Mr.. Vollmer is not let
ting any grass grow under his feet.
This week he had parish surveyor
Edwards running lines and fevess for
an irrigating canal and will build il
right away. His son John and som
Ia, Law II Hnher will move on the
place and cultivate it next year. Mr..
vollner will not come south just
now.

Don't Rub it In.

Old Bill Arp still remains n of
the s.unreconstructed,' and he writes
as entertainingly as ever In a recent
letter he echoes the true southern
sentiment as follows:
Well, We see that Nj. Crumpicker,
or Stumpsucker, or some such name,
from Indiana, has opened the oall at
Washington with his usual screech
owl howl against the south. He was
in such a malignant hurry that he got
in the first bill, and it is to reduce
the representation of the south IN coz
gress. He reminds me of Haman.
whose stomach would not digest his
food as long as he SAL Mordecal
sitting at the kings gate. He has
begun to build a gallows for US. Let
him beware, for it was Haman who
was hanged. Some of these rabid
republicans remind me Of old Cato,
the Roman censor, who hated the
Carthagenia ans so bad that he never
voted on any question in the Roman
senate without adding, "And ! also
vote that Carthage be destroyed
But no body cares W. will yet have
have a schoolbook commission in every
southern state. The south is moving
right along in spite of northern insults
and northern literature. | see that
barbara Frietchie'' is to be played
in Atlanta. I wonder il that dramatic
lie will be patronized by any self
respecting southern mar or woman !
Many years ago a yankee troup came
to Rome with .Uncle Toms Cabin,
and we egged them out OF town.
That's what we done. They may
abuse us from afar off, but they
shan't come down here and rub it IN,

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies,
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachlan Tube. When this tube getr
lnfamed you have a rumbing sound os
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, Which is nothing but
All inlamed condition of mucous sur
