BudweI.er for Purity and Nourlshment.


The Budweiser advertisement, which
appears in another portion of this pa
per, draws an interesting comparison
between water and beer in these
words:
Pure water is better than poor
beer. Pure beer is more wholesome
than pure water because of the nour-
ishing qualities of malt and the tonic
properties of hops"
This is obviously true despite the
contentious of cold water enthusiasts,
and explains why so many physicians
prescribe Budweiser for anemic pa
tients, not only because of its refresh
ing and invigorating effects. but as a
delicate and effectual means of adj
ministering nourishment.
The extreme care used in selection
of materials as well as in supervising
the actual brewing of Budweiser i'm
sures perfect flavor and absolute
healthfulness of the prodCct.
1t is brewed from malt made under
the direct supervision of the Anheu-
ser-Busch Brewing association; the
finest hops obtainable and thoroughly
filtered soft river water complete the
ingredients.
1t is important in this connection to
note that river water is ideal for the
production of good beers for the rea-
son that it contains none of the hurt
full and unpleasant mineral salts So
commonly found in spring and well
waters.
Budweiser is king of bottled beers
for table consumption as well as med
zeal use, and it is truthfully called
''the essence of purity"

Pardon Of Mrs. Maybrick.

News comes from London to the
effect that Mrs. Florence May
brick, who was convicted in the
courts there some years ago and
sentenced to life Imprisonment,
will be pardoned by King Edward
on the LIST of May, 1904. If we
remember correctly, this poor wo-
man was convicted on circumstan-
tial evidence of poisoning her
husband, a man who was proven
to he an habitual morphine eater,
and the presumption was that he
had died from taking an overdose
of the poison. In spite of this,
she was convicted, sentenced and
imprisoned, and all attempts to
have her pardoned up to date
have proved unavailing, although
everything that Ingenuity could
suggest has been tricd.
At the time of Mrs. Maybrick's
she was a wealthy wo
man, but all her possessions were
swept away by the expenses con
sequent upon her trial and in the
various attempts to have her.

HON e Industries.

Wonder what the merchants
and other business men of this
town would think if a representa-
tive of some big business house in
New Orleans, or other city, would
come here every thirty or sixty
days, solicit and obtain orders
from our people in their line to
the complete exclusion of all deal
ers here! A howl would go up
that would shake the earth. The
police would be called out, mass
meetings held, denunciatory reso-
lutions adopted and Sheol raised
generally. Yet this is just what
is done in the printing business
and the boys of the press here
must bear it in silence. Every
month or so a representative OF
some lithographing concern, that
has no interest and never spends
a cent here, comes and car ries
away orders enough to keep the
home printers busy for a month;
does the work; sends it here and
gets the money for it. Is this

length of time. And the manlpuia-

would not attempt such a thing,
when the peop'e have reached The

The Spirit that Kills.

Say, Mr.. Merchant! Do you
know that the people abroad Judge
a town by the style of paper that
| is published in it and by the show
ing that is made in its columns by
the men doing business in it? If
you do not-and you don't appear
to-we want to tell you that such
is the fact. ANY man who con-
templates visiting town general
ly tries to get hold of a paper
published in it, so as he may look
over its columns, learn the names
of it's business men and the sort
of business they are engaged in.
1t is the same way with the hotels,
the banks and the professional
men. If business man wished
to visit New Iberia and should
pick up one of it's papers in order
to familiarizo himself with names
and conditions he would Ger tainly
be amazed at the lack of enter.
prise and public spirit that would
meet his eyes. He would, very
naturally, conclude tn 1t the place
has no hotels, no banks, very
few merchants and no profession
al men at all. This is hard
thing to say, but it IS the truth.
The trouble, be it known, is not
with the newspapers. They are
about as wide-awake and progress
sive as papers elsewhere. They
have been to see all these people
and asked them for business; ex-
patiated on the good results that
would follow, and have been told
"We'r'e well-known; we've been
here ten years or more and don't
think it worth while to advertise.
1t doesn't do any good, anyhow"
This is the spirit that keeps
towns down and starves news.

effect that a blessing often comes
in the shape of a curse, and 1t
looks as though this will be exem-
plifed in the case of Abbevllle,
che thriving and public-splrlted
little town few miles west or
this city, which was swept by a.
destructive fire on the night OF the
10Th ult., which destroyed the
greater portion of one of its prln-
cipal business blocks. Many OF
the buildings destroyed were
frame structures and some of them
were ramshackle, worthless things,
which were more eye-s0res than
anything else. They were all oc-
eupied, and for this reason, we
presume, the owners did not care
to tear them down and replace
them with others of better char
acter.
1t seems now, since the fire
saved them this trouble, they have
all come to the front, in a most
commendable way, and decided
to replace the old tumble-dOwn
frame buildings with substantial
brick ones of modern design.
Hence it is plainly evident that
the fire, which was at first regard
ed as catastrophe, Will prove a
veritable blessing to the town and
will result in it's identifying and
advancement. Speaking on the
subject the last number OF the
Meridional, which is published in
the town, said:
"The burnt district will soon be
rebuilt. OF this there is no doubt.
Before the smoke had stopped
issuing from the ruins of last
Thursday nights big blaze, nego
tiations were pending, and others
being considered, looking to the
construction of number of brick
structures to replace those de-
strOyed by the fierce flames.
Judging from indications which
are apparent at the present time,
no grass will be allowed to grow
OH the sites where the old stIuct-
ures stood for many years, on
State and Concord streets.
Active work will, in all proba-
biljty, soon be under way OH a
number Of the buildings contem
plated. All will be of brick, IRON
or stone, lnasmuch as the entire
burnt district is embraced in the
fire district established 10y the
city fathers at a special meeting
held the day following the big
blaze of last October, which de-
stroyed considerable property di.
rectly across the street from last
weeks conflagration.
Some of the new structures for
which negotiations are now pend
ing will be handsome ornaments
to our growing city, some of them
two stories in height, with the
latest improved and modern con-
veniences.
There'll soon be something ''do-
ing here in the building line.
Particulars are not as yet oh
tainable. However, it is said sac
tons speak louder than Words"
and to those who do not differ as
to the truthfulness of this adage,
there certainly appears to be every
reason to believe that the owners
of property in the burnt district
will soon let contracts for the cree
ton of buildings that will exceed
in appearance, convenience and
value those that stood for so many
years in the business center of a
town old in years, but new aud
young in spirit and progressive
ness"
