oPELoUsAs, PARISH
Sues the Police Jury.

Something new in the line of
personal damage suit litigation
developed last Tuesday when B.
II. Bankin, through his attorneys,
Robert r. Stone and Morris R.
Stewart, filed suit for damages
aggregating $2,225 against B. E.
Miller, Police Juror for Ward
Eighth, and parish of Calcasieu in
solido.,
The petition recites that on or
about August % last James Ban
kin, son of B. II. Bankin, a we'll
known timberman of Ward Eight,
was driving three yoke of oxen
to wagon and that, when the
team and wagon were crossing
Little River the bridge fell with
them, precipitating the team,
wagon and boy into the river be-
low. The petition further recites
that B. Fl. Bankin was some 400
yards away at the time and ran to
the river, swan out and at great
personal risk cut the bows from
the oxen's necks, thereby pre-
venting them from drowning.
The petition states that there
has been a special tax levy of
three mills collected in Ward
Eight for the past three years
especially for road and bridge
work and that Police Juror Mil
Ter has allowed this bridge to
become rotten through failure to
have permanent improvements
made thereon, and that the only
work done on the bridge was just
prior to elections, when he would
have the bridge temporarily re-
paired, promising, if elected, to
have it put in first class shape.
The petition alleges that the
bridge was rotten and unsafe and
holds Mr.. Miller and the parish
Jointly responsible therefor

The Farmers and the Town.

There is mnch of common in
terest with town and farmers
about the town. If the town
grows, it not only enhances the
value of the farms, but means to
the farmer an increased demand
and higher prices for his pro-
ducts. Mutual benefits result
in the progress and growth of a
town, and hence between farmers
and citizens of a town there
should exist close, friendly rela-
tions. The following article
from recent issue of the Home
Trade Advocate is not only sensi-
BILE but truthful as we'll. 1t is as
follows: "The man who has
his home on the farm should
take pride in having his home
town a good living place, fully up
to date, progressive, with good
schools and churches. The town
is for his comfort and convenience
as we'll as for those that reside
within its limits. 1t is toward
the town schools that the farmer
looks for the higher education
of his children. It is toward the
town that the farmer turns when
he has products to dispose of.
The better the town as a business
place the better it is for the far
mer. The rise IN value of his
lands is commensurate with the
progress of the town. The more
enterprising and substantial be-
comes the town the better are its
schools and churches. It is the
duty of every farmer to assist in
building up his own town, for in
so doing he assists himself, his
children, and in fact, everyone
in the community. ."-Southern

Thr Distortion of News.
Thoughtful and conservati,

Thoughtful and conservative
newspaper readers cannot have
failed to be impressed by the at
titude assumed by, not a minor
ity, but vast and disgusted
majority, of the American press
upon matters of vital Importance
to every provident and honest
citizen. We have been accus-
toned to accept with such equan-
unity as we could muster, the be-
lief that there are certain news
papers which are published solely
to cater to the Tabasco-sauce-jad-
ed palates of the ignorant and
sensational-loving reader. We
have noticed with some glee,
that when really important hap
pening is before the public, the
dear public, with remarkable UNI
animity and commendable dis
cretion, shunts the Yellow Jour-
nal into the side line of discredit,
and looks for it's information to
the more reliable and respectable
publications which have dealt
more in facts and less in head
lines. New York Journalist.

A New Law Proposed.

"The Torrans System, - which
is law by which the State guar
antees title TO real estate, is pro-
posed for introduction in Louisi-
ana, and copies of the law are be-
ing sent out by the legislative
committee to the bar of Louisiana,
to get the opinion of the lawyers
about it. The law avoids the de-
lay and expense of getting up ab.
stracts of title. A number of
the most progressive States in the
union have this law i'm force, and
all of them commend it as a good
law. So no matter what our law
yers think about it, it is reputed
to be splendid law.

Dear Sir: It costs two or three
times as much to put paint on as
to buy it. A gallon of poor paint
costs as much as a gallon of good,
for the work; and a gallon of
poor don't SO half as far. Poor
paint lasts half OR a third or a
quarter as long as good; and pro-
tects wood and iron Il half or a
third or quarter as we'll as good.
Do you buy good paint or poor?
You don't know any poor? Why,
the market is full of it!

eral Assembly of Louisiana an
effort will be made to secure an
appropriation of $4,000 with
which to erect a monument to
the valor of the volunteers of
this State who participated in the
memorable siege of Vicksburg.
Louisiana is the only State of the
Confederacy which has neglected
this all-important patriotic duty.
but there is some excuse for this
delay in the fact that Louiaiana
has been absorbed in factional
politics, in the contest for the
domination of the bosses over

Secretary Bonaparte's tribute
to the kicker as the only means
by which parties in this country
are kept in order is something
handsome. He thus vindicates
the wisdom of the fable of the
frogs who fell into the milk can.
Ore of them padded about bit
and then sank to the bottom.
The other kept hitting out with
all fours until his activity had
churned the milk into butter.
Then he got foothold on one of
the Jumps, stepped out of the
milk and was saved. Moral :

Mr.. WiImon Newell, of

Mr.. WiImon Newell, of the
crop pest commission, thinks that
the caterpillar can be used to
fight the boil weevil. If the cat
terpillars are permitted to strip
the cotton about the first of Octo-
Der, the last crop of weevils
will be greatly lessened and the
chances of the insect to subsist
through the winter will be de-
minished, says Mr.. Newell. So
it seems that one enemy of the
cotton crop may be made to de-
stroy another.
