Commenting on the fact Of the
suspension of theAlexandria Daily
News, the Opelousas Courier says:
"The Alexandria Daily News has
suspended for waRt of sufficient
support. It is <.i6t q very hard
matter to start paper, but to
keep it going requires money,
labor and Judgment" =" Aye, verify,
brother! But there are whole
brigade Of Smart Alexis who will
undertake to tell you that you
don't kASaw what you are talking

inert; that ~they didn't hustle
enough; that in addition to edit

and sending il ,'ni anI doing the
job work; entertaining the peanut
politician that might happen to
come in and entertain you with
his ideas as to how this, that and
the other subject should be han
died, the editor should "get out
and hustle,' solicit business, or,
IN other words, wear out his shoes
walking around to see a lot of
big-mouthed blowers, who are full
of gas and suggestions, and wear
out the only pair of pants he may
possess kneeling down before
these blatant hypocrites begging
them for a penny's worth of pat
ronage, while the chances are that,
Notwithstanding their expressed
sympathy and good will for you,
if they need a dollars worth of
business in your line they will
send it right by , our shop around
the corner to the opposition paper,
which takes no interest in them
and doesn t care for their patron
age.-DonaldsonviIle Times.

Old Sambo says this is tough
old world any way you look at it.
When folks want ice they have to
pay for it, and when they don't
need it they can pick it off their
whiskers. Several of Samho's
relatives have been given a free
bath lately, but they did not rel
ish it in the manner it was given.
They imagined that the "white
folks" would give them something
for nothing, and jumped at the
opportunity to receive it. After
receiving sit" they retired much
wiser but sadder mortals, caus-
ing Sambo to soliloquize as above.

One of the most brilliant minds
Of modern times has spoken as
follows Of the immotal bard,
Shakespeare: ''There was noth-
ing within the range of human
thought, within the horizon of
intellectual effort, that he did not
touch. He knew ihR brain aud
heart Of man. The i,eoi i''s, cir
toms, supcrstitions, hopes, fears,
hatreds, vices and virtues Of the
human race" Shakespeare was
an intellectual prodigy Of the first
class. He lived in times hardly
bare of the skirts of feudalism,
with all the ignorance that i'm
plies, yet he knew ,|if by intui-
tion, science, langues, law, med
icine, heraldry, warfare and state
craft. He employs a vocabulary
of Is, 900 words, three times more
than the ordinary writer, and he
always uses the right word in the
right place. He has been for 300
years.the greatest master of the
English language. His plays have
q practical work-a-day interest fc--z
US. They form an encyclopedia
of hapan life-all that lies hidden
in the human heart, His most
popular play is undeniahly Romeo
and Juliet. The Simvelle produc-
ton will be magnifcently staged
and eostumed. and an acting COM
pany Of great merit will be en-
trusted with the various famed
roles. Reserved seats, 75c.

Almost every town in the State
has its local factions, and its
growth and progress are being
seriously hindered by local dis
sensions and trivial differences.
Some Of them amount to very
little, while in others the feeling
of bitterness is more marked, and
the strife thus engendered acts as
q perpetual menace to all that is
calculated to enhance common
cause.-the promotion of mutual
interests. Community co-opera-
ton is essential to tho advance
ment Of every town, and it is really
surprising that men who other
wise possess sound business judg-
ment cannot lay aside their per-
sonal feelings, as a matter of pub
lie duty, even though they may
not feel like doing so as a matter
of personal gain.-Yazoo Miss. }
