Republican Nominee.

The Republicans have nomina-
ted Mr.. Henry Pharr, Of Olivier,
this parish, as their candidate for
Congress from the Third District
of Louisiana.
Mr.. Pharr is a gentleman-a
sugar planter Of recognized abili-
ty and standing-well known to a
broad circle of personal friends
and admirers. If we mistake not
this is the first time that his per-
sonality has been launched into
public affairs.
For such a man to receive a NOM
nation to any honorable position
at the hands of his fellow citizens
and peers is decidedly an honor
and a mark Of their high esteem
but the most ardent personal par.
tizan friend of Mr.. Pharr can
haldly hope, for moment, that
the November election returns
will se1Hl him to Congress. His
nomination is only party formal
ity.

Chamberlain Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with
its good qualities can be surprised
at the great popularity of Cham
berIain's Cough Remedy. 1t not
only cures colds and grip effectu
ally and permanently, but pre-
vents these diseases from result
ing in pneumonia. 1t is also Ger
tam cure for Group. Whooping
cough is not dangerous when this
remedy is given. 1t contains no
opium or OTHER harmful substance
and may be given as confidently to
a baby as to an adult. 1t is also
pleasant to take. When all Of
these facts are taken into cOnsid-
Grafton it is not surprising that
people in foreign lands, as well as
at home, esteem this remedy very
highly and very few are willing to
take any other after having once
used it. For sale by EstOrge

How DO we have eye strain?

The brain is a store house,
or nerve center. Nerve force
is sent there and stored, for
distribution to different parts
of the body.
Nerve force is of matter,
like that of the brain sub
stance, through which is
transmitted nerve energy
and the elements necessary
to life.
If the supply is equal to
the demand, we have no
trouble, but if one organ is
overworked, or has to use the
supply that is required by
another, there is trouble in
the brain. ~
The brain as we Nave seen,
is the STORE house\ of the
nervous system.
The eyes absorb onel tenth
of the here supply II the
body, find herefoIs exact
one tenth of thenefve energy
stored in the brain, and be-
ing Situated nearest the brain,
or nerve center, receiSs~athe
first nerves imptlse$sent out
by the brah. W
The constant effort, made
by the eye to accommodate,
or to overcome an error of
it's retroactive system, calls for
an abnormal demand, on the
brain for nerve energy and
this constant demand of the
eye, for nerve force, in excess
of its supply soon irritates
the brain, causing it to with
hold nerve energy due to
other organs of the body, and
giving or sending it to the
eyes. What is the result.
Strain, overwork, fatigue or
whatever one may choose to
call it.
