Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale
of any medicine in the civilized world. Your
mothers and grandmothers never though: of
using anything else FOR indigestion or bilious
ness. Doctors we're scarce, and they seldom
heard of appendicitis, nervous prostration or
heart failure. etc. They used August Flower
to clean on. the system and stop fermentation
of undigested food, regulate the action OF the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action
of the system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only reed few doses Of Green's

A QUIET CAMPAIGN.

States.
So far as the city of New Or
leans is concerned the present
State campaign is perhaps the
most remarkable known in Louisi-
ana for the past twenty-five years.
1t has failed to develop any ex-
element or to arouse great public
interest. Indeed. on the streets
and in public places politics is a
subject which is not heard discus
sed and owing to the absolute
quietude that prevails it is diff
cult fer one to realize that an cleo
ton for governor and other State
officers is to be held next month.
This is due to the fact that the
conglomeration of old played-out
carpet-baggers, hairy Populists
and renegade Democrats which
constitutes the opposition to the
Democratic party is so absurd that
the average voter cannot take ii
seriously. 1t is an opposition the
elements of which are so weak and
discredited that its appeal to the
suffrages Of intelligent and self
respecting citizens is greeted with
derision and contempt. The De-
mocracy, therefore, is in a state of
perfect serenity, knowing full we'll
that its victory is already won.
The present State campaign is
certainly in striking contrast to
the campaign of past years, which
were characterized by fractional
bitterness, so intense as to divide
families and friends. The politi-
cal situation at this time is most
encouraging, because it BODIES well
for the future of the Democratic
party in Louisiana.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N.
W dairyman called at a drug store there
for doctor to come aud see his child,
then very sick with Group. Not finding
the doctor in. he left word for him to
come at once on his return. He also
bought bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, which he hoped would give
some relief until the doctor should ar
rive. In few hours he returned, say
ing the doctor need not come. as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr.. Otto SchOlz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlains Cough
Remedy to their neighbors and friends
until he has a cosntant demand for ii
from that part Of the country. For sale

COTTON MILLS.
Shreveport Progress.

The cotton mill movement be-
gan in this city last year. The
machinery has been ordered. Its
hum will add to the manufactu-
ing industries of growing Shreve-
port. This movement, about to be
consummated, is largely due to
the untiring energy of Mr.. H. II.
Hargrove, of the Picayune staff,
backed by the liberal generosity
of citizens here and elsewhere, &C
tuated and urged by the spirit Of
Southern progress and develop
ment.
The seed sown is bringing forth
lusty fruit. Mr.. Hargrove has re-
Gently returned from a phenome-
nally successful tour of Texas. He
was, everywhere, enthusiastically
welcomed, aided and encouraged.
Cotton mills were better drawing
cards than a brass band and a
minstrel troupe. In other words
the people preferred to talk cotton
manufacture than to attend amuse-
ments.
The South, the home of the raw
material, will soon be the center
of the manufactured product tc
supply the worlds demands. That
means doubling the revenues Of
this section as the worlds store
house for cotton and cotton cloths
Mr.. Hargrove is engaged in g
great and grand work. The peo
pie recognize its Importance ant
are commercially encouraging his
efforts. The Twentieth Century
will witness this section as thu
tremendous nucleus of the globes
cotton manufactures.
