Since the 9Th of June we have had
local showers every day. The cane
crops are benefited, but the cotton
crops are somewhat affected already
and unless there is a change in
the weather very soon, this parish
will lose at least one-third of the
Gotten crop. The rice growers are
perfectly satisfied with the yield,
although but little rice has been
planted in this parish.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections of veins;
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries
before Inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without mat
uration and one-third the time
required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain's G Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly. 1t
also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your
home and il will save you time and
money, not to mention the inconven-
ience and suffering which such injuries
entail. For sale by j. e. DAILY, and

day after day he feels himself becom-

him, his sleeplessness increases and he
is troubled more and more with bad
dreams and when he arises in the

fact, he feels that he has lost his foot

THE CITY'S FINANCE
Refrenchment in Expenses De-

Tax Payers.

Tax Payers.
even a well regulated family to live
within their means, and there is an
increased and increasing tendancy on
the part Of small cities in this pro-
greSSive age TO ge t in the wrong
class. We often find them in need of a
peace maker with steady hand and
cool head.
A large amount of splendid inn
provements is very desirable with
| most of us, but pay day is sure to
come.
Grand Rapids has been travelling at
arapid pace for the past three years
and in our spring election we sought
for and obtained men pledged to an
economical business like administrat-
ION, and we believe these men will
stand pat for retrenchments all along
the line.
Any improvement that is essential
for the preservation of life and pros
perity should be made. Any repairs
on the water pipes should be made at
the earliest possible practical time
and be kept constantly in condition
to meet any emergency, Some of our
residence streets have worried along
for fifty years without a sewer.
Wouldn't it seem more business like
to wait one, two or three years longer
or until such time as we can pay for
the same, than to go into debt still
further We have implicit confidence
in the present mayor and aldermen
of this city and hardly think that
they can be persuaded under any cir
cumstances to make any improvement
that is not absolutely necessary.
Let us not lose sight of the fact that
under the most rigid economy the
next payment Of taxes will reveal an
increase rather than decrease. We
are quite confident that SO far as
Mayor Nash's authority goes the same
business tact and strict economy will
be displayed in city affairs that has
built up for him splendid business
and bright future. It ought not
to be a difficult matter for us to pause
a moment and make the stream of
events and Improvements for the
past three years turn back and flow
past US. for review.
We have built new high school
building at cost OF $40, 900, that is as
good as anything in the state. Our
new steel bridge has the mark Of
permanency stamped upon it and
cost $4,000. The waterworks with
several miles of mains cost 100000.
Our present sewerage system up to this
time has cost $4,000. Our many
macadamized streets reaching all four
of the depots have cost about S20, 900.
Then add to this the old Centralia
waterworks that were put in at a cost
of S4, 500, but which have cost the city
of late no small amount and you have
grand total sufficient to cause some
reflection.
If this business was under the direct
care, management and ownership of
anyone of our best business men it
would be unnecessary to comment on
their probable course.

ARMY LIFE OF
AN OLD SOLDIER

| J. e. Perry, of TOmah, who is spend.
ing part of the summer in our city
has been giving the High school
several talks on army life. Mr.. Perry
| is an old soldier and saw much of the
heavy fighting from 1851 to 1855. Some
statements in the papers are some
! what misleading ia speaking of the
present war in the far East as being
the greatest or bloodiest battle in
history. The following is a short
interview with Mr.. Perry, who is a
strong impressive interesting talker:
Yes, enlisted September 20, 1861,
discharged June %, 1866.
''Saw some fighting, eh."
Yes, the battles of the Civil War
were terrible. Gettysburg on the
union side 5000 were killed, 14,OOO
wounded, 1000 missing, OF which a
large proportion must have been killed
and the remainder no doubt died in
Andersonville. The actual loss of life
was close to 10000. Before the battle
of Gettysburg that same army lost at
Bull Run 5000 killed, wounded and
missing, "a, 600 on the Peninsula, II 900
at Manassas, 15,000at South Mountain
and Antietam, $4,000 at Fredericksburg
200 at Charlottesville. This is not
all. At Nine Run it lost 500, in the
wilderness $1,000, at Spottsylvania 26,
600, at North Anna 1000, at Cold
Harbor IA, ZOO, 1900 in front of Peters
burg, 5000 at Weldon railroad, $4,000
more in front of Petersburg. $1,000
in the Shenandoah vally, $1,000 in the
operations in connection with the
surrender at AppOmattOx.
"Had some experience in Confede-
rate prison."
All wanted of them, you bet, was
the happiest man of the whole army,
when at Vicksburg, Miss, March q,
1865 l saw ''Old Glory" proudly float
ing in the breeze for the first time in
3l4 days, and took courage. l was out
of darkness into light, away from
blood-hounds and starvation, into
Gods country and exclaimed in the
lines of Drake.

his craft to the water-line because he
is lying in quiet harbor. requires
no great skill to foretell the result
when a storm comes on. But that is
the risk that hundreds of our business
and professional men are unnecessarily
taking today. They are allowing no
margin for bad weather. The millen-
inm is not here, and the age OF panics
and business depressions is not passed.
The club house up the Wisconsin
river few miles, is a move in the
right direction, aud as the years go by
is proving splendid investment to
our business men.
The wise ones among those jaded
workers make up their minds to take
vacation at any cost. After two or
three weeks they return; and oh, what
marvellous change! They have
literally been born again. Rejuvenated
refreshed, tingling with new hopes,
new plans, new and broader visions of
life,-for they have slipped power at
the very fountain head,--they take up
once more the duties Of their different
callings. They are no longer burdens
to be carried somehow, but positive
pleasures.
The medicinal tonic oak and pine
and beech has penetrated every pore.
The splash of the brook, the scent of
the meadows and flowers, and the
song of the birds have harmonizeG all
the elements of mind and body that
put out Of tune by the jar and strif
and turmoil of the city. A new life, a
new world has been opened to them.
Wouldn't it be foolish question to
ask whether those people gained or
lost by their vacation-inveStmcnt
What would little more money
saved, a few more goods sold, little
more study crowded in be, compared
with the bunyant health and new
blood which they have received in ex-
change for the expenditure of few
dollars more or less than it would
have cost them to stay in town. The
person who tries to save time or
money by denying himself a vacation
puts mortgage on his life.
Again, it may be said that break
down is by no means a necessary
result of our. intense modern life.
There is more to provoke it than
there has ever been before, but at the
same time we have more means at our
hand to prevent it if we will utilize
them. It seems to be the general.opin
ion that the vacation habit is so deep
rooted in American life nowadays
that the stay-at-homes are out num-
bered by those who have real
vacations.
We rob ourselves of more than we
can ever compute by being niggardly
in the matter of vacation. Econo-
mize on anything else rather than
this, on which the very wellsprings
of being depended. Health is the
"pearl of great price" for which, if
need be. we should be willing to ex-
change all our possessions. Without
it all other things are powerless to
make us happy. Many a millionaire
has bartered his health for a
million sights which all his wealt tn
cannot restore.
