There's law agin it. 4
Capt. D. j. BatcheIder, after
spending two weeks at his old
home in Clinton, Iowa, returned
| yesterday. Within the past two

Considerable interest was man
Tested last Saturday evening, in
noting a brand new Baldwin Mo
gul locomotive passing through
our city. Its destination was
Hammond La, for the Hammond
& Eastern Railroad, at that point.
1t will be used for logging in Mr..
Nalty's lumber mill at that place.
It was a beauty.
Harry Huntington, sales mana
ger of the East Union Company
Of our city, and w. G. Schwem,
secretary and treasurer, of the
Hammond Lumber Company, of
Hammond, La, left for st. Louis
last Sunday to see the big Fair.
Both are deserving, Industrious
young men, and we trust they
will have a pleasant trip and a
safe return home.
Hon. q. 2. Jones, president of
the Board of Supervisors, has
faithfully reported to us the re-
sults of the cultivation of his cot
| ton patch on the old Jobes place
to the northwest of town. He
says, and that is a sufficient guar
lanty Of truth, that he actually
raised four bales on three acres,
the bales averaging 1856 pounds.
That beats "a bale to the acre, =
doesn't it?
The stereopticon views and cleo
ton returns shown by Fosby &

tonight and also Saturday night,
including photos by Fosby Of the
candidates in the next city cleo
tion. They can be seen in front
of the Leon Pfeifer building next

A woman, who is cripple, and
a little daughter, living on the

objects of charity. The woman
has a sewing machine, her only
means of livelihood, that she is
unable to pay for. Mr.. King,
the sewing machine agent, can
lgiye the history Of this unfortu-
nate woman. The Sunshiners,
Kings Daughters and the charita-
IDLY inclined generally may here
find worthy object of the cause
they have espoused.
