WHAT is cATARRH ?

Hyomei Only Guaranteed Cure for
This Common and Disagr cable Dis
ease. .
HyOmei cures catarrh by the sim

air passages and lungs. It kills the
germs of catarrhal poison, heals and
soothes the irritated mucous men,
brane and effectually drives this dis
ease from the system.
If you have any of the following
symptoms, catarrhal germs are at
work somewhere in the mucous men,

REV. ENNIS Is WELL KNOWN HERE
Has Worked With Various Churches
and With Salvation Army.

The incarceration of Rev. E. D.
Ennis in the parish jail here on the
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses and embezzlement has
aroused considerable interest in church
and lodge circles here. Rev. Ennis
claims to be an Odd Fellow, and a
number of Odd Fellows have taken his
case up with a view to looking into
its merits.
Rev. Johnson, the pastor of the
Congregational church, visited Ennis
in Jail here this morning.
Rev. Johnson said after his visit to
Rev. Ennis in the Jail:
II know the man, all right. He has
been to the city several times and was
engaged in religious work here. He
has offered prayers from my pulpit
even, and l know him as a religious
worker. Some time back he was work
ing with the Salvation Army here,
and has made a number of addresses
for them in their hall here. During
the time he was here he followed the
trade of painter. Lake Charles

Two Problems.

The Jennings Progress asks a couple
of easy ones for the primer class tina.
our rice farmers might think over with
profit:
IF man hauls rice to town and
sells it for $2. % sack and hauIs oats
home for which he pays $500 a sack
and the bag of oats will not 60 so far
in feeding as the sack of rice, how
much money has the man made?
Here is another problem. If man
sells his red rice for 81. so sack, buys
rice polish and bran at from $40 to
S25 a ton, when he could get a small
mill and grind his own rice for a
small sum, how much money has be
made?
These are the conditions of our
rice belt. Farmers should raise a
small patch of oats and perhaps a
little corn. Then should grind his
low grade rice and feed it with the
oats. He will have superior feed
and at the same time save himself
hundreds Of dollars. The farmers are
learning to. discard the WEARY
Willie" habit of eating out of tin
cans. They are selling a superior feed
for a small price and buying an in
ferior feed for high price. This too
should cease.
"Then in addition there is Editor
Randolph's slogan "a mule, a steer or
a hog will eat more rice than a man.
Market your low grade rice on the
hoof." All this will make our rice
belt a garden of Eden"

JENNINGS VIEW OF THE GAME.


One of the finest games of ball ever
witnessed in this vicinity took place
on the Welsh diamond on Saturday
last and our boys are not at all dis
couraged at being defeated by the
Welsh club, who are considered the
strongest amateur team in Louisiana.
They have been beaten only twice this
season out of a total of twenty-five
games. The work of theJennings club
as whole was applauded by the
Welsh people heartily. The decisions
of Il, Patterson as umpire were just in
every respect.
Taking into consideration that this
is the first game that the locals played
and the first time all the members
have played together, it was one of
the most remarkable games in South
west Louisiana. During the forepart
of the game Fruge was in the pitchers
box for the locals and Mcfarland be-
hind the bat. Later in the game he
was replaced by Cline.
The work of Cline with kirkpatrick
behind the bat and Little as short
stop, together with the playing of
Moore in left field and Briggs in
center and Mcfarland on third won
the praise of hundreds of visitors.
The playing of Pryor on first and
Bullick was the best of their lives.
Errors in the first and second innings
lost the game for the locals.
SECOND GAME.
Wednesday noon. the Welsh base
ball team accompanied by several
ball enthusiastics, left for Jennings to
play a return game with the jennings
boys. After an exhibition of splendid
ball playing in which both teams did
themselves credit the Welsh team
was victorious, the tally sheet setting
forth the figures, 81, which didn't
look good to the Jennings fans.

per bushel, when twenty per cent OF
waste matter is deducted, makes a
bushel of edible potatoes worth 81. 20;
of this 1873 per cent is water, which
leaves about thirteen pounds of nutri-
tive value, or an average of nearly
ten cents pound. In other words,
the consumer pays out ninety-four
cents for water. Rice with seventy
nine per cent starch, seven per cent
protein and only twelve per cent wa
ter, is today decidedly more nutri-
tious and economical food at consid-
cradle less price"

AT the end of the first half of the
ninth inning the score was ) to : in
favor of Welsh.
1t was clear from the start that the
Jennings team, although very nice
boys, were not ball players as they
not only made the usual number of
errors, but did not seem to know the
rules of the game.
The game went of very nicely and
without wrangling, with the exception
that it was somewhat embarrassing to
be forced SO often to call the attention
of the Jennings players to the rules.
