Qui vive!

"Gather the rosebuds while We may,
Old time is still a-fying,
And this same flower that smiles to-day,
Tomorrow may be dying"
In these words of Herrick's is portrayed
the philosophy of life, the secret OF a
smiling Providence, the germ of happy
home, the pleasure and Joy Of living.
The only promise to man is in the pres
ent. To-day is his, Tomorrow" never
will be. It is always best to look for the
bright side-to make the best out of
everything. "The darkest clouds have
their silver lining" The good and bad
are counter parts of life. BY all means
appreciate the blessings-they will sus-
tain and comfort you in all misfortune.
To be unmindful of the beautiful and
good is to lose all there is OF life
worth the living. Adversely and ugli-
ness need no watching; they will come
of their own bidding and force themselves
upon you. But the beautiful and goot
things of life often require searching
after, to see them in all their efficacy ant
effulgence- like the hidden diamond, t
be found, polished, then to shine tn
brightest jewel in monarch's CROWN

To the People of Bossier Parish

In view of the fact that yellow fever
exists at several points in this State, it
becomes the duty of every citizen to
render such assistance as lays with his
power to the constituted health author
tiles in order that we may keep the dis
ease from invading the parish. !, there
fore, call upon all public-spirited citi-
zens to carry out the following instruc-
tions, thus hoping to exterminate the
fresh water mosquito, which is the only
known source of danger:
/. Screen and oil cisterns and barrels
containing water. Screens should be OF
16 or t8 to the inch wire gauze, or good
article of domestic. Coal oil should be
applied to water surfaces every ten days.
2. Screen your houses, and sleep
under mosquito nets.
3. Fill up and disinfect mud holes on
your premises. Pulverized coperas or a
solution of bluestone will thoroughly
disinfect if applied to such places.
4. Oil all ponds or pools of stagnan'
water to destroy the malaria bearing
mosquito.
5. Stay at home.
