Remember that the Sherifrs
Office will only be opened nine
working days in which ycu will
be able to pay your poll tax, if you
wait until the last days you may
find the Office crowded, and exper-
ience some difficulty in getting
your receipt, as first come first
served. Hurry up and pay now,
do not wait day longer.
Since the price of seed cotton
has gone up to S35 per thousand
pounds, quite large amount Of it
has been brought to town during
the past few days. The planters
who had kept part of their crops
are taking advantage of the high
market. They are selling, as they
believe this is the top price. It
may 60 higher, but this is doubt
full.
We learn that the Street Fair
is holding Lafayette this week,
and that in the near future they
will be up here for a week. The

attraction, and Notwithstanding
the bad weather, the muddy roads

numbers of people from every
where crowded our thoroughfares
for the whole week, and procured
lots of smusements for our people.
If you have not yet paid your
poll tax, you had better attend to
this matter at once, and preserve
your right as citizen, the right
of being able to cast your ballot
at the election for the candidates
of your choice.

The labor unions of New Or
leans who are tired of being boss
ed by few individuals who are
the leaders of New Orleans, have
after mature deliberation, decided
to give their entire support and in
fluence to Gen. Leon Jastremski,
as their candidate for governor.
The labor unions are numerous in
the city and their support to q can
didste means, perhaps q majority
of the votes of the city. The Ia
boring men in New Orleans like
their brothers in the country are
tired of the old system of boss rule
and now that they have q chance,

very much as if this parish will
turn out a handsome majority for
Jastr emski.

around to Suffering Charley" Davis,
Who can call more newspaper men by

the man in admiration and the woman
