The common restitution and suffer

last Tuesday was a prosperous mer-

Signs of a Hard Winter.
N. O. States.

y W. ototCo.
A Pennsylvania seer who
claims to be able to read and un-
derstand the book of NATURE
predicts an unusually hard win
ter this year, and one which for
severity and lasting qualities will
surpass anything of the kind we
have endured in the last three
decades. According to this seer
the signs are all around him and
speaks in language beautifully
plain to him. For instance the
corn husks are very thick and
the stalks lean to the west. The
geese, ducks and chickens are
growing a thick coat of down un-
der their feathers and their feet
are gradually taking on a bOny
substance to better protect them
from the frost, ice and snow.
The owls are seeking the deepest
recesses of the woods a month
earlier than usual while the
squirrels are laying in sweet
potatoes as we'll as nuts for win
ter provisions.
He tells us that experienced
farmers whose buniOns and chin
whiskers have marched behind a
pair of pillow handles for nearly
a half century have observed
with a knowing look that toad
stools on old logs have wrinkles
on them, and when this last hap
pened the winter was so cold the
boots of the farmers turned up
at the toes like skates. and the
bark split on the north side of
the beech trees.
We are not disposed to doubt
that the Pennsylvania seer
knows exactly what he is talking
about, but we regret that he does
not mention several other unfail-
ing signs of an extremely rig
orous winter. The wrinkles on
! the toad-stool is "a pretty sure
sign, but all doubt as to the char
acter of the winter that is com
ing is removed when two distinct
curls are seen in the tail of the
October 'possum and on moonll1
nights humpbacked rabbits are
heard drumming on hollow logs
with their hind feet and splitting
the juice of mullen weed between
their teeth. When these things
happen and the skin OF a very
black negro looks ashy it is tim
to see that the coal bin is fillet
and to rake the family clOthe'
chest for heavy socks and fan
nels. For the signs may be &C
cepted as warning that old BOr

THE GASOLINE MOTOR CARS.

Elsewhere we reprint an
article from the Scientific
American giving the results of
some tests with a gasoline motor
car. The experiments and de-
velopments in regard to the in
dependent motor, whether run
by electr: ity or gasoline, are ex-
ceedingly interesting, because of
the comparative cheapness of
construction and operation of
motor car railroads, thus making
it possible to use them extern
sively in affording rapid and
easy transportation to rural
communities. Heretofore only
cities could afford a street car
systematic gasoline motor
promises to be the street car"
system of the country. And Ow-
ing to it's demonstrated efficiency
the time has now come when
such a motor road in a parish
and section as thickly settled as
Lafayette with it's neighboring
towns, would prove very profit
able as an investment and greatly
so as an improver and developer
of both farm lands and city prop
erty.
With proper schedules it would
be easy for a man to live in town
and give his family all the ad-
vantage of it's schools and So
ciety and yet be enabled to be on
his farm at the right time. The
isolation of country life would in
a large measure be done away
with and crowding in town upon
small lots be Unnecessary because
of ready transportation.
The road itself would pay be-
cause of the heavy freight traffic
and express business sure to be
given it. Instead of long hauls
by team the farmer could rush
his cotton to the gin, his cane to
the refinery, his seed to the oil
mill by motor freight and at a
considerable saving of trouble
and expense.
In many ways a motor car sys-
tenn once built would develop
methods of usefulness, cOnve.
nience and profit besides adding
largely to the value of property
within the territory reached and
covered by it. In addition, that
town which first sees the posi-.
bilities of the motor car and by
the energy of it's citizens be-
comes the radiating point for it
will reap a rapid growth and place
it's business men in a position tt
attach to themselves a large and
loyal trade territory through mu
tuality of interest.
Lafayette situated in the mid
die of a magnificent scope of ag
ricultural lands with an immense
timber tract within touching dis
lance is peculiarly favored fol
the center of a motor car railway
system and we believe that thu
construction of such a system il
within the power of the citizen!
of this town, and we further be
lieve and feel confident that sucf
a road once built and managed il
a business-like way will net
handsome dividend on the invest
ment. Let us build the road.
