 Britain. and all vest with New Orleans. to Spain,-never again to be united under one flag until Wilkinson took possession of Mobile in 1913.
 The temptation is strong to pursue the subject further. We could study the in- teresting local history of Mobile. or we could consider the development of all this part of the country under its i've nags.- more than ever waved elsewhere in the Union. To no section does this yield in romantic and historic interest But such thoughts would distract our attention from the one thing which now chiefly concerns us the foundation two hundred years ago of Fort Louis de la I<oufsiane. True, the exact place of almost every thing has been obiiterated. the outlines and street names of the settlement pre- served by no plan. may perhaps claim to have recovered within the past five years the site of the fort, discovery con- firmed by the finding this winter or French bricks from the powder magazine strange that people speaking the English tongue should have gathered at Fort Louis in January, 1902, to celebrate what was done so long ago by Frenchmen, who would not recognize their very names as we pronounce them.
 And vet there lies the significance of the event They buiIded better than they knew. What they intended as a depend ency of France has become part, is becoming. the chief part, of independent America. that strange modern complex the resultant of British colonization from the East French and Spanish from the Southwest and immigration from all the world besides. The Mobile bicentennial was not the celebration of an event in foreign history. although we speak Eng nsh and Bienviile spoke French. The English rule of this Gulf country as such lasted but few years and in its turn gave way to Spanish; and Atlantic Amer lea became an independent power in its Revolution only by the negative help Of tho Spanish, who swayed the Gulf, and by the effective military cooperation of the French from Europe Lafayette stands next to Washington in the affection of us all and Washington deemed Spanish Gal veg a true friend of the American cause.
 Even the expansion of these English colo nes over the mountains to embrace our section was modified by the interacting Latin influences So that while America is now one, with one worldwide future opening before us all. its roots are va | rious and the planting of Latin ctviliza- ! tion in the Mississippi Valley is as much 1 a part of American history as Jamestown and Plymouth Rock.

REMOVE FENCES.
DIR. Warden Endorses the Plea OF
the Bourbon News,

In a recent issue Of the Lexington
Leader, DR.. Warden, of this city, con-
tributes the following article:
George D, Mitchell, the observent
editor Of the rightly named Bourbon
News" asks the property-holders Of
Paris why they do not remove their
front fences. I cannot recollect that
any of our papers ever before made this
suggestion.
When these fences are of the best
kind and kept in good repair-not to
mention the rickety ones-they detract
from the appearances of the houses ard
streets too. Especially so in Paris,
where the streets are exceptionally
narrow. With fences removed the
thoroughfares would look much less con-
tracted.
The inroad of stock on the premises
does not offer so strong an objection as
1t did aquarter of a century ago, when
every twentieth family kept COW and
these animals were allowed the f. eedom
of the city Almost the entire milk
business is now in the hands of dairy
men, who even place the ordered supply
in the proper compartments of your re-
frigerator. What relief to be rid of
city cow-keeping and cow depreda-
tions
And L am convinced that the milk is
as pure and the butter as good as when
we ourselves MIXED the cows and made
the butter. We are more trustful than.
the people of the far East, who win buy
milk only as they see it drawn from the
goats which are daily led from house Co
house.
Three years ago when inquiring about
the cost of an iron fence to be placed
in front Of a new residence on Main
street, intimated to the contractor that
I had not wholly decided to have any
fence. well, said he, ''its my busi-
ness to put up iron fences, and I would
like to get the job, but, )" he added, ''if
this property were mine I would not
have any fence
The building stands eighteen or
twenty let rom the street Win grass
plot extending to the pavement, and
should any one offer to put up an iron
fence without cost, I would say, "No, I
thank you, sir" Economy and good
taste loudly proclaim, "remo5e your
fences"
Though three years have passed since
4 set the example. I'm not aware
that any one has followed it. I think
it is likely that Mr. Mitchell's sugges-
ton will find favor at least in some
quarters, and that these eyesores will
gradually be removed. This is the ter
dency in all progressive cities.
Many objections could doubtless be
offered to such a defenceless innova-
ton in city like Paris, such as for in
stance-but no, I'll leave it to the de-
fence to file their objections in order.
Friend George, it will at least do no
harm to utter periodic call anent this
matter that the community may see
that you are not on the fence but down
on street fences n

Republican members of the house

should be done toward reducing the

Republican members of the committee
is said to be quite general in favor OF
a reduction of revenue taxes.
In the house the bills ready for

Cure for SmaIlpox.

l herewith append a recipe which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent
or cure the smallpox though the
pittings are filed. When Jenner
discovered cowpox in England the
world of science hurled an avalan-
che of fame upon his head, but
when the most scientific school of
medicine in the world-that of
Paris-publisbed recipe as a PAN
acea for smallpox-it passed un-
needed. 1t is unfailing as fate and
conquers in every instance. 1t is
harmless when taken by we'll per-
son. 1t will cure scarlet fever.
Here is the recipe as 1 have used it
to cure smallpox, when learned
physicians said the patient must
die, it cured. Sulpaate of zinc,
one grain; foxglove (digitalis) one
grain; half teaspoonful of water
When thoroughly mixed add four
ounces of water; teaspoonful is
dose Either disease will disap-
pear in twelve hours For child
smaller doses according to age. If
countries would compel their ply
sicians to use this there would be
no need of pest houses. If you
value advice and experience use
this for the terrible disease. Stock
