THE GROUND HOG.
CONNECTION OF THIS ANIMAL
WITH THE WEATHER.
\ Talk by an authority on the Subject
Questioned About Planting Po-
tatoes and the Reply.

1t is said that truth is stranger than
fiction, and in this relation may be
connected the ground hog and the
weather From an authority on the sub
ject which can not be questioned it is
said that on the morning of the second
day of February Of this year the ground
hog crawled from his hole, and after
taking survey Of the surroundings,
which were not to his notion, he blink
ed left eye, gave a grunt of disapproval,
crawled into his hole and pulled the hole
after him, and that forty days thereafter
he will crawl out of his hole and stay
over ground, dry or wet, cold or hot,
regardless of all conditions This ex-
FOUNDER on the ground hog asserts that
his forecast of the weather is infalli-
BILE and he would put the hogs prog
nostications against he best barometer
and weather forecasters on the face of
the globe. ''On February g." continued
this authority, 'and bear in mind it was
on Monday the ground hog who is not
as big as an elephant, on getting over
ground frisked his little tail and saw
his shadow on the ground. That was
enough and he Immediately crawled
back and there he will stick until Sat-
nrday, March ID, when the forty days
of his crawling will have ended and he
then crawls out in safety. The ground
hog is peculiar animal, but he knows
a sight about the weather. He no doubt
knew there was to have been a lot of
rain and he did not propose to stay out
of ground and run the risk of being
drowned. Now, if on the day he crawl
ed out, the indications would have been
cold and freezing he would have crawl
ed back as quick, as it is not to his lik-
ing to stand cold weather and exposure
and be frizzled up. If when he eraw1ed
out the indications would have been fair
and pleasant he would have stayed out
and instead of rain we would have had
fine weather, but the ground hogs al
right After Saturday, March ID, you
watch for the sign Of the ground hog
and my name is not - If / have
not told the truth. From March ID the
weather will be favorable, and if the
season for farming and planting is late
there is plenty Of time for big harvests
of corn and cotton. There is a striking
feature of the ground hog. | watched
him when he had craw1ed out of the
ground. He was fat and slick, which IS
a sign of prosperity for the year, an
of good things for us all,
and having delivered himself on the
ground hog( in a fashion interesting to
his. listeners and delightful to himself,
a skeptic IN the crowd queried of a
friend: Say, Joe, when do you plant
potatoes-in the dark OF the light of the
moon p In the ground, sir," was the
quick rejoinder. With this abrupt end
ing. the crowd dispersed, leaving the
ground hog man to his own meditation.
But jest as you may or will, the
ground hog is all right and don't you
forget it.

A PATRIOTIC APPEAL
For Funds for the Home for Needy
Confederate Women.
Ito the Caucasian.

Richmond, Va, Feb. -, fooS-Dear
Friends: The managers of the Home
for Needy Confederate Women will
hold fair at the Masonic Temple,
Richmond, Va, for the benefit of the
Home, beginning March the 10th and
lasting ten days. The women who bore
the burden in the dark days of the Con-
federacy are now, by reason of increas-
ing years, unable to care for themselves.
Their natural protectors laid down their
lives for the Lost Cause" and have left
the care Of their loved ones as a sacred
legacy to us who have succeeded them.
The Home is Our effort to meet the
cry OF need which has come to us from
many survivors of those times that tried
mems souls. 1t was opened October Is,
1000, since which, time it has cared for
seventeen needy Confederate women.
But many applications have had to be
rejected for lack of accommodations.
We need more room. The State of
Virginia has given five thousand dol
lars, and this fair is an effort to increase
that amount as much as possible, in
order to have a sufficient sum for the
erection Of a new building, better suited
to the needs of the Home.
Mrs, A. J. Montgue, the wife of Our
esteemed governor, is president of this
committee, and joins us in an appeal to
you for a contribution to this fund,

\ LARGE NUMBER OF CITIZENS
MET AT COURT HOUSE.
\ Hearty Greeting by Democrats and
Friends-The Personnel of the
Executive Committee

As anticipated there was gathered in
the court house Tuesday night large
number of citizens of Shreveport
among whom were a number of the
friends of Mr.. Blanchard who responded
to personal invitations. 1t was a Blan-
chard meeting organized in the political
interests of Mr.. Blanchard and as an
nounced was suggested and intended to
repud1ate the ISLANDERS of a few persons
that he could not carry his own parish
This gathering was called to order by
Colonel w. H. Wise, who asked that
secretaries beappointed, and on motion
of Judge Pugh this "old chestnut was
again thrust upon the representatives of
the press by whom it was accepted with
meekness and resignation. There was
then read a list Of vice presidents, resi-
dents of the city and country, compris-
ing over hundred, and of the gentle
men from the country wards in attend
ance there were noted: "Messrs. w. E.
Wasson. Noah Tyson, W.. o. Owens,
B. F. Ratc1iff, B. F. Teat, D. G. Moore,
William Adams, Lee Johnson, John w.
Keel, Rives Browning, L. A. Alexander,
R. H. Harreli, ]. w Wood and c. C.
Alexander. In the gathering were
number Of the personal friends of Mr..
Blanchard from Bossier and Red River,
and one of the features was the reading
by Judge Pugh of te1egrans from gen.
tlemen residents of various sections of
the tSate, expressing their best wishes
and giving the assurance of their loyal
support. The reading of each telegram
was greeted with cheers.
he speeches were by Colonel w. H.
Wise, Mr.. Mike Bernstein, Mr.. John
Monkllouse Sr., of JeWella, DIR. C. H.
Irion of Bossier, Mr. Ben Wolfson of
Red River, Mr.. c. w. Cory, Mr.. Charles
{. Stowe, Jr., Captain Fl. P. Wells, Mr..
w. A. Mabry. After Mr.. Blanchard had
ended his speech, to which the closest
attention was given and throughout
which he was frequently applauded, Col
onel John S Young proposed three
cheers and a. tiger for the next governor
of Louisiana, Judge N. c. Blanchard,
which was responded to with enthusi-
asm H.
The following is copy,of two reso-
lttions submitted by Mr.. Mike Bern
stein and adopted unanimously:
Resolved, That the report that is be-
ing SO persistently circulated throughout
the State by few persons here that
Justice. N. G. Blanchard could not carry
Caddo parish in the approaching State
Democratic Convention is untrue and
utterly llnfounded. ..
Resolved further, That at the proper
time the Democrats of Caddo parish will
present his name as their choice for the
exalted office of governor of this, his
native State, with every confidence that
he will have a united delegation in his
support, and to that end we pledge the
ever faithful Democracy of Caddo par
