same that the Comrade man
owes his election to the support
of our friends. None of our
friends. with the exception of
Mr.. Smith, knew just what the
Comrade man had offered us, the
shortness of time prior to taking
the vote rendered it out of the
question to 60 into details. They
thought that they could do for Us
better, perhaps, than we could dc
for ourself, and that the Comrade
man would certainly treat us
right after having received the
benefit of our support, hence
their action in voting for him
As matters now stand, we think
the Police Jury should reconsider
the election of Parish Printer, III
which event we are more tnaT
willing to stand on our merits
we don't stand for MIR. Smylie, OF
anybody else. to be Parish Printer
at the expense of ourself ant

AN UNTIMELY DEATH.
Fred Mcdonald Was Loved and
Respected by ALI.

We were never more shocked
than when we were shown teia-
gram by Mr.. Henry Bernstein
announcing the death of Fred
Mcdonald at the West Monroe
Sanitarium. Fred Mcdonald was
born and reared at Rochester in
jackson Parish. His parents
having died when he was quite
young, he was taken and reared
by his aunt, Mrs.. Lizzie Wilcox,
who died recently at .JonesboEo.
At the time of his death he was
in the employ of the law firm of
Hudson, Potts 6 Bernstein. He
was loved and respected by all
who knew him.
The following was taken from
the Monroe News of the 18th
lust:
"a touching service was held
at the armory last night, which Is
draped in mourning for the be-
loved member gone beyond,
when Company ID stood uncover
led while DIR. Richard Wilkinson,
at the request of the company,
read u prayer and said word in
memory of their conrade, young
Fred Mcdonald. The boys have
done what they could, but the
regret that they could not follow
to the last resting place of one
who was close and dear and fire
a parting salute over his grave,
will never be wiped out by time
or place or circumstance.
"The armory will remain in
mourning a month in memory Of
Private Fred Mcdonald, the most
popular and beloved member of
Company D. J"

The Doctor Away from Home when
Most Needed.

People are very often much disap-
pointed to find that their family
physician is away from home when
they most need his services. Diseases
like cramp collie and cholera morbuS
require prompt treatment, and have
in many instances proven fatal before
medicine could be procured or a
physician summoned. The right way
is to keep at hand bottle Of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. No physician can prescribe
a better medicine for these diseases.
By having it in the house you escape
much pain and suffering and all risk.
Buy it now; it may save life. For
sale by the Phoenix Drug Store.

70 ATTEND DIE FAIR.

Everyone ofahe difectors, commit
tee and managers of the Richmond
County Agricultural Society are
working hard for the county fair
which begins next week and every
body will doubtless want 20 attend
1t before the week is over. The spirit
of home pride causes all to want it
to be a success. The best way to in
sure this will be for every citizen to
exhibit something, especially in the
department of vegetables, fruits and
fowers. From "a money standpoint
this will pay, because an exhibitor is
given a season coupon ticket for one
dollar. No further change is made
for entries, and this ticket entities
daily entrance to the fair the entire
week This is a very cheap way OF
attendingsthe fair, besides the chance
of winning prizes. A. G. Nellis, the
manager of this department, announ-
ces that exhibits in this line will be
received up to noon of the first day,
and he will be on the grounds with
q staff of competent assistants, and
will assist anyone bringing exhibits
to properly classify them and have
them entered under theproper num-
bers. With this liberal offer there
ought to be no reason why everyone
should not exhibit.
