To Tie Citizens of Jennings.

After Mr.. Henry decided to
stop sprinkling the streets, the
Retail Merchants Association
took the matter in hand and gave
the town a thorough canvass to
find out how much each place of
business would give, and also to
learn which was preferred, oil or
water.
The majority preferredlol but
we failed by $500 raising the
amount. Mr.. Henry asked for
the work. and after considering
the matter we do not think MIR.
Henry is asking too much.l
We, as an association of mer-
chants believe it nothing but just
and right that all business men
such as doctors, insurance men,
real estate men, and lawyers to
pay just the same in proportion
as we do.
From now on those desiring
sprinkling done will have to make
personal arrangements for same.
In conclusion we desire to
thank the oil men for what they
have done, and what they offered
to do.

CROP CONDITIONS.

COTTON: The rains over the
northwestern portion of the State
greatly improved cotton in that
section, but elsewhere the rain
fail has been insufficient for the
needs Of the crop.
SUGAR CANE: The rainfall has
been ins uffi cient for the needs of
the sugar cane crop. Scattered
showeres have fallen in some To-
calities, and where these occurred
the condition of the plant has
been improved. The plant is
small. but is generally holding it's
own, although in places it is suff-
ering.
RICE: Recent showers have
improved rice. Last planted rice
in the western portion of the dis
trlct is coming up to good stands.
More rain is needed for the rice
crop. Irrigated rice is doing
we'll.
CORN: The drouth has seri-
ously injured early corn, which
has been cut short in all parts Of
the State, except in scattered To-
calities which were favored by
showers.
MISCELLANEOUS: Truck
gardens are drying up, except
over the northwestern portion of
the State and in q few other wide
scattered localities, where the
rainfall has been sufficient to re-
vive them. Rain is needed for
the pea and melon crops.

QUEER WAYS OF THE MARTEN.
A Peculiar Habit that Has Saved the
Animal from Extinction.

A Peculiar Habit that Has Saved the
Animal from Extinction.
THE Hudson Bay marten, the little
fur-bearer whose skin Is ever popular
and at times exceedingly valuable, is
still plentiful in that region Of fur
bearers said W. B. Salmon, one time
a trapper for the Hudson Bay Com
pany, but / believe 1t would have been
virtually extinct there long ago If it
were not for a habit 1t has of making
periodical disappearance, Of which I
never heard any satisfactory explana-
ton.
These disappearances occur every
ten years. Where the animals go no one
knows. No dead ones are ever found
and no one has yet discovered any evil
dence of their migration to any other
region. A few martens. of course, re-
main ON their old feeding grounds, but
during the season Of the disappearance
of their fellows none Of them will touch
the bait in a trap and consequently
none is caught. The next year the mar
tens are back again in their old haunts
dS uuDueTOuS DIS ever, anu lOI ltI years
more submit to being caught
1.-The Hudson Bay martens seem to
be the only ones Of the species that
have this strange habit The Lake Su-
perior martens don't waste any OF their
time In disappearing voluntarily, but
are found at the old stand year In and
year out, housing themselves in hollow
trees in the deepest woods and making
life perpetual burden to birds, SPUR
rels, rabbits and other small game ON
which they prey.
1.-THE Lake Superior marten has one
prediction Of the palate in which he
resembles the bear. That is a passion
for honey. He will line wild bee 70 its
home with the precision Of the most
expert bee hunter, and the hidden
sweets Of that bee colony will have to
be In most inaccessible place II the
marten doesn't soon revel In them. Like
