whisky Election Ordered.

Miss Lucy Raglan, OF Montgomery,
general manager for the state Of the
w. G. T. IT,, and also president Of the
Montgomery Loyal Temperance Le-
gion. accompanied by Mrs. g. H. Nc
knight and Mrs. j. w. Duncan. on
behalf Of those organizations Ia Col
fax. appeared before the police jury
ON Wednesday, and presented Pc
titiOn asking that an election be not
ordered on the question OF licensing
the sale OF liquor in Grant parish.
Miss Raglan on behalf of these organi-
cations made an oral appeal against
licensing the sale of whisky.
Unfortunately for the desire OF
these ladies and all Others interested
in temperance work, the police jury
had u couple Of petitions Zone from
ward 5, and one from ward2) in hand
asking that an election he ordered to
take the sense of the people on the
licensing OF the sale OF spirituous L.
quor, and as officials they felt that
they were obliged to to give the pub
lie the opportunity to vote on this
question. The police jury therefore
decided to submit the question TO a
vote for settlement. and have selected
Tuesday. the Goth day Of FEBRUARY,
1906. as the day to hold the election.
So the fight ia now in dead earnest.
and we would call upon all opposed
to licensing the sale Of whisky to re-
member the date. and he at the polls
that day to- vote against it.

The Police Jury Meeting.

The police jury was in session for
three days this week, and have trans
acted Il large amount of business,
which will appear In the Chronicle
next week. The clerk of that body
found It impossible to prepare his
minutes In time to give them to us
for publication In this issue. Among
the most important acts by the body
was the appropriation of 5000 out OF
the revenues Of five years to build
steel bridge across Bayou DarrO. on
the Bagdad road; ordering elections
In ten school districts. to take the
sense of the voters ON levying u mill
tax for five years In aid Of the public
schools; the ordering Of an election
on the question of licensing the sale
Of liquor In Grant parish; the appoint
ment Of road appropriateness; and the
allowing Of about $500 worth Of
claims put In for guards along the
Iron Mountain railroad during the
quarantine. Mr.. w. B. Clarke ten
dered his resignation as treasurer and
Mr.. VIM. LaCrOix was elected In his

No Country Superior to LOUISE
ana.

Rev. w. N. Greed, accompanied by
hls son Mr. Alb. Creed and Mr.. G. A
White. have gone on a prospecting
tour to the Indian Territory. leaving
last Saturday, and they may decide
to remove from Grant, II conditions
suit them In that country. They
shook hands with their Coliax and
other friends before leaving. and seem
to regard their removal as almost
settled. We would caution all per-
sons contemplating such moves to
go slow about it, as a good deal Of
comment is just now going the
rounds about persons being sold out
to their disadvantage by the glowing
sentatiOns Of western agents.
The Atlanta Constitution gives the
opinion Of prominent railroad Of
fetal on this matter, who tells OF the
great disappointment of some he
knows who went out there, and
were only Ito glad to get back under
any circumstances. He says: 1.-The
wonderful reports made In advertis-
ing matter for that region is more
clever than truthful l know that
the Held Of Investment does not offer
any better chances for the placing of
money where 1t IL certain to pay big
dividends than right here ut home"
That IL dOubly applicable here In
the State Of Louisiana, where great
or strides Of progress along all lines
Is now going on than perhaps any Of
the Gulf States. Thousands OF en-
igrants are pouring into Louisiana
from all sections, and now IL the
time for. our old settlers to take ad-
vantage Of their knowledge Of the
situation to better their condition.
No State like Louisiana for the
farmer.

The Chronicle starts the year 1905
with 11S new subscribers, all secured
since the first day Of October, 1906,
and about half OF them were vOIun-
tary subscriptions without my So
llcitation on our part. These names
have all been published. We desire
to return special thanks to discern
ing public for this mark Of apprecia-
ton and confidence, which we are
pleased to say exists among our old
subscribers as well as the new. In
the three months mentioned about
two hundred renewed their subscrip-
tions, and we believe only three per-
sons discontinued their paper. So
the Chronicle starts the year with q
net gain of lis subscribersf for the last
quarter OF 1905, besides a gain Of
about fifty for the six preceding
months.

 Tho better class took the same view The Greenfield Courant says on this subject, that 1t must be remembered that Virginia has had to deal with a tremendous problem as to an ignorant electorate, of the menace of which we have no conception. Perhaps she has daalt with 1t as fairly as we would have done under like circumstances It Is for him without sin to cast the first stone Speaking of Exposition 1t knows of no public cause to which the State should give a reasonable amount of money more cheerfully Massachusetts and Virginia are two sister common wealths that unite in a like heritage of noble colonial history. The fact that they were separated in the great di- vision of forty years ago Is added req son for lending assistance to this en- terprise, for aid to this project by our State cannot fa:l to do som mething to renew the old bonds of friendship be- tween the two great commonw saiths, which perhaps more than any other two. have stamped their characteristic civilization upon our national life.

 T contracted severe cold which settled on my lungs in very short order and 1t was not long until it developed into a serious case of catarrh.
