Slidell Items.
July s. 1901.

Editor ST. Tamnany FARMER.
l expected to see 'sWlld West"
and Subscriber both, IN last
weeks edition of the FARMER, but
neither appeared. Now boys come
on and give the people the news.
We all like to read your letters.
We had several good rains last
week, and are expecting more at
any time.
Slidell is strictly on the boom.
Houses are continually being built.
Mr.. Willie MCGEE is having a
nice little cottage put up IN our
town.
Some one has decided that SIldell
did not have enough saloons, (there
being only tive,) SO they have de-
clded to build one more Whoop!
What If Slidell was to lun dry ?
Mississippi would worry over it.
Some people say it takes saloons
to build up a town. Well, look
out up there, we are coming!
Been down here nearly twenty
years, with saloons nearly all the
time, and now we have decided
that five Is not enough When we
get the sixth one and blow our horn,
get out of the way and let us cone.
Our people turned out IN great
numbers to go to the school PIC
mic at Vaudeville last Friday. BY
seven O'CLOCK they began to swarm
around the Bayou. The crowd in
creased, until about eight o'clock.
Then they waited and looked up-
till "they' said 'sshe will here by
eleven O'clock Dame Rumor
started several tales abou, the boat.
The crowd III a down hearted way,
began to depart for home. Well,
the boat did not come, so the day
was spent by the sightseeing peo-
pie IN different ways. Some went
out driving, others walking, and
others tried to sleep the blues off
Mr.. Henry Miller visited his
wife and relatives in Slidell last
Wednesday.
The 'Basket Meeting was had
at Alton on Sunday, June 80.
Quite number of our people went
up there and enjoyed two sermons
by our Methodist parson and a nice
dinner on the ground.
Miss Laura Gain, of New Or
leans, is visiting relatives In Sill
dell this week.
The Salmen Brick and Lumber
Company have almost completed
the addition of one more story
TO their Office department. This
adds to the appearance as we'll as
the convenlences of the place.
Mrs. Dell. O'Rourke, of New
Orleans, is visiting Miss Leda
Mtyfeld this week.
DIR. Polk has his nice residence
about completed. 1t will be one
Of the incest buildings i'll Slidell.
Billie WEIGH, one of the en-
ployees of the Salmen Brick and
Lumber Co., was very badly hurt
last week while working at the
mill, but is recovering now.
The health or our town seems
to be very good.
There are new buildings going
up all the time. Good lots can be
bought from $50 90 up.
On last Sunday our Methodist
minister preached for us. He
opened the church doors and three
persons joined. Your writer
wis hes him great success in the
saving of souls. He will preach
for us next Sunday and Sunday
night.
Hoping to hear from sWild
Wood" "Wild West, y 'sSubscri-
ber," 81. G. u" and a lot of
other correspondents, ye scribe
will hush.
Success to your paper and self.

Capt Weaver. the genial owner
and master of the fine new schooner
Josie Weaver, was treated to an
agreeable surprise party last Mon
day night, when large number of
his friends appeared at his resi-
dence, accompanied by the Cow
ington Brass Band. Immediately
upon entering, Hon. Jos. b. L:n-
caster, in a neat and appropriate
speech, presented the Captain with
a fine search light for the schooner,
and before he had time to recover
from his surprise, the Brass Band
struck up a lively tune. The Cap
tain and his estimable wife and
daughter, Miss Rebecca, and son,
Charles, sustained their reputation
as generous hosts, and an abund-
ance of choice refreshments were
served, after which the assembled
guests enjoyed music and dancing
till a late hour.

POSTERITISM.

[From an address delivered at the dedication
exercises of the Century Chest at Colorado
Springs on August 4th]
The Century Chest was consign-
ment to the inhabitants of Colorado
Springs of the year 2O01. 1t contains
great number of letters, addressed by
the present people of that city to their
descendants and successors.
In former ages man sought to placate
the ghosts of his ancestors and, in his
religion, gave large prominence to the
worship of the dead. This still per-
sists in the Orient. The change which

fessional zeal that will not be satisfied
short Of absolute truth, and courage
that knows no compromise.
The important points have been
covered in what has already been
written, and perhaps I have said as
much as you expected or desired, yet
it may be interesting to your readers
to hear something of Mr.. Sedgwick as
a man and citizen
He has been quite active in bust
ness and moderately successful. Per-
haps had he devoted more time to it
and less to his profession he might
have been more so. While he means
to be absolutely just, he insists upon
having all that belongs to him, not a
penny too little nor too much. He
wants his own and will have no more.
He is enterprising and not too eau
tious about investing in large enter
prises. He has large pecuniary in
terest in almost every considerable
public enterprise in the city and most
of them are fairly profitable.
Judge Sedgwick gives generously,
according to the merits of the cause
and the length of his purse.
Mr.. Sedgwick has very comfort
able, unostentatious home, provided
with the comforts and conveniences
offered in city of this size. He is
interested in science and literature
and has very complete library. and
is all extensive reader of the best liter
ature. His home life is peaceful and
quiet and seems to be the happiest part
Of his existence.
1t is not necessary to speak of his
habits and private character, as it is
we'll known throughout the state that
they are above criticism. No one
who knows him would think of utter
ing word of scandal against him,
nor would expect to find anyone to
believe him if he should
My purpose in writing the above
has not been to paint a picture of a
hero or saint, but to tell the plain
truth about neighbor whose position
now entities the public to these facts.
Even his political opponents will, I
think, agree with all I have said,
while some of his friends will think
have done him scant justice.

cial district, and as such made for him.
self most honorable record. He is
now one of the supreme court COM
missioners.
While Judge Sedgwick, in common
with all of us, doubtless has some
traits that might be criticized, they
are not such as impeach his honor, nor
impair his extraordinary fitness for the
bench.
When he first appeared before me as
an attorney I was impressed with his
clear and logical mind, his ready COM
prehension of the most intricate ques-
tions involved, and his thorough mas
terry of the underlying principles of
the law, as we'll as the luminous, logic
al and forceful presentation of his
arguments. His superior ability at
once gave him leading position at
the bar. He was jealous in the in
terests of his clients, but always court
eous to other members of the bar,
and fair and honorable with the court.
His mind is analytical and judicial
Possessing as he does all intimate
knowledge of adjudicated cases, yet
he is the very reverse of what is
known in the profession as lease
lawyer" He reasons not from the
surface down, but from the funda-
mental and underlying principles of
the law, he reasons upwards and out
to conclusions
AS a judge his mind is broad, sus-
ceptible to argument, and if it is
shown to him that he is wrong, no
man is more ready to acknowledge his
error and correct it.
Judge Sedgwick is constant and
profound student, and keenly enjoys
the study of the most involved and alb
struse questions. He is always candid
with himself and goes into legal
questions, not to fortify precon-
ceived opinion, but to ascertain the
law, and in the consideration and study
of such questions he never thinks of
the parties nor attorneys interested. In
his court, friend and enemy, rich and
poor, weak and powerful, fare alike.
He possesses to a marked degree
the three elements out Of which great
jurists are made, learned mind,
quick conscience, and a robust cour-
age. No one speaks of him as
smart lawyer" but all know him to
be profound lawyer, and an able, con-
scientious and fearless judge He is
so constituted by nature and education
that his mind goes in search of the
law and fact in case, oblivious to
every other consideration. If Judge
Sedgwick is elevated to the supreme
bench the people of the state will be
most fortunate. He will bring to
