The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be- ing a constitutional disease, re- quires a constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in- formally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing it's work. The proprietors have so much faith in it's curative pow CTS that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testi- monials.

PLANTATION to the friends and rela-

its readers for its failure last week
to note the death of our esteemed
citizen, Mr.. w. j. Sewers, who
died June II. Our editor was
absent and . warm personal
friend of the deceased had asked
permission to write an obituary
and the publisher depended upon
this till the time arrived to put
the paper to press. The friend
failed to write the obituary and,
of course, it left us with nothing
to print.
MIR. Sewers was we'll known
and universally liked throughout
the parish. His death was great
surprise and brought sincere grief
to his numerous friends. The
Sentinel counted him among It's
warmest friends and is panied
over his sudden death.

THE HIGH COMMITTEE.
The committee of fifteen

The committee of fifteen APP
pointed by the legislature to have
charge of and settle all questions
looking to abrogation of the gov
errors patronage. are going to be
called upon to make some expla-
nation of their actions in regard
to a primary election law and the
proposition to make number OF
appointlve Offices elective. The
public can see no reason for post
poning the question of whether
or not these offices should be
filled by popular election, espec-
laiiy assessors and members of
the parish school boards. The
question could have been settled
as satisfactorily during the ses-
sion of the legislature now closing
as 1t can be during the session in
1906.
A majority Of the members of
the committee which sat down on
these propositions were elected
on a platform the principal plank
of which was ''abrogatiOn Of the
appointive power" and ga pri-
mary election law" This being
the case, their constituents are
going to demand an explanation,
and rightly too. 1t is going to be
interesting to listen to some of
these explanations and particu-
larry the one to be made to the
voters of Winn parish. The
Representative from this parish
stated on several occasions during
the eampaign that he would sup
port any measure looking to alb
rogating the appointive power of
the governor and said further,
that he would prepare and intro
duce bills to that effect in the
legislature if some one else did
not. He is member Of the COM
mittee of fifteen and voted
against the very PROPOSE tions
had agreed to support in case of
his election.
1t seems to us the committee
has, BY postponing these matters,
played what Deacon Jones used
to call 'shobs,, and lengthy ex-
plantations are now in order.
