Come And Look At Our Stock.
Execution Will Be Private.

The date fixed for the execution
of Elus Leblanc under sentence
of death for the murder of his wife
is fixed for next Friday, October
18TH, and unless a respite comes
from the Governor, and this is not
probable, the unfortunate man will
swing to eternity on that day, as
fixed by the Governor.
Leblanc, to all outside appear
ances, is entirely uncODcerned as
to his fate, he sleeps well and
chats merrilv with all visitors
whom he is pleased to have call on
him, and does not look like man
guilty of the crime charged against
him and for which he is to forfeit
his life in six days. He looks like
man with a clear conscience and
still proclaims that he will die an
innocent man.
Sheriff Pellerln has wisely deci-
ded to make the execution as prl-
vate as possible, the scaffolds will
be erected in the Jail, in the south
west corner of the building, next
to the stairs, and only the witness
ses required by the law will be
permitted to witness this painful
duty.
Leblanc comes from one OF the
best creole families in Louisiana
and his parents who have done all
they could to save his life, have
the sympathies of all the people Of
this parish.
The law must have its course
crimes must be punished, but it il
nevertheless much to be regretted
to see a man of good family, ere
ole of chivalrous ancestors, NEE
death as criminal, a murderer
upon the gallows.
What misfortune, what sorrow
left tn those who remain after tb,
convicted man is confined to BIZ
grave; Sad indeed!

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. az they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed cOndi-

chan Tube. When this tube is iniamed

The Jeanerette Fair.

Last Sunday representative OF
the Messenger took advantage OF
the excursion to visit the Jeane-
rette Parish Fair. The attendance
at the fair on that day was very
large. and we believe the Fair eau
be said to be success, consider
ing the fact that this was the first
Fair held at that place. There
were several attractions on the
grounds and a large number OF ex-
hibits which seemed to have at
tracted the attention of the large
numbers of persons Interested In
such enterprises.
In the Fancy Work and Sewing
department were exhibits which
were really beautiful, and much
admired. Among the exhibits was
a splendid display made by the
pupils of the schools of the Con-
vent of Mercy of Jeanerette, which
attracted much attention ard pro-
we'd one of the most interesting
displays of the Fair, the works
were nicely arranged, the ideas
were interesting and original, the
work of the presidents of the
UNITED States" was particularly in
teresting. The Painting, drawing
and other works that graced the
educational department of the fail
did much credit to the pupils anC
the coed Sisters of the Convent o
Mercy Of Jeanerette. The High
School of that town had a yer!
complete exhibit, which was als'
creGitable to that institution.
The management of the Fair wa
: somewhat disappointed during tn
first days of the opening on &C
count of bad weather, and instead
of closing on Sunday, it was decl
.ded to continue the Fair unit
Tuesday of this week.
These Parish Fairs are beaei
cial to all the interest of parisl
aud they should receive every en-
enlargement of the people OF the
parishes. We believe the Jean
.erette FAIR was "a complete sue
cess.

Letter to J B FERRAN
st. MdrtiRriiie, La.

Dear Sir Our agent ought to sell
nine eDths of the paint of his town and
region no use to try for the other tenth.
The proportion of men, who won't take
good advice, and use the least gallons
paint, is about one in ten among even
owners of houses an stores and shops
and barns and fences.
One man in ten will buy gold brick
or green goods, if he has the money and
gets good chance.
DeyOe at $1.75 II gallon is better than
60 d ; adulterated aud shOrt-measnre
paints are green goods aud gold bricks.
Dsvoe saves half, more or less, Of the
labor and wages Of painting; it is all
paint; full strength and full measure.
There Is no other such paint within ten
per cent. leu per cent of labor and paint
is. worth saving ;and ten Is the least.
There are scores of paints that throw
away half Of both gallons and labor on
whiting, china-clay, ground stone, barry
tes, benzine, waterfall they are good
for il to make gallons of nothing and
look like paint in the can more gallons
to buy and more gallons to pay for put

Thursday morning there was
heavy white frost, and some OF the
early risers reported light freeze
on the surface of exposed water.
The frost was a heavy one, and
will probably kill all ten,ier veget-
ables and may cause a great deal
Of injury to the top crop OF all late
cotton. Many of the planters in
the low land sections have planted
their cotton late, and this early
frost may seriously reduce the

From lakes to Ocean.


The season of navigation on the In
terror waterways will soon end, and 1t
will be record breaker Particularly
is this true of the great lakes and the
transactions on the Sault Ste. Marie
canals. The figures for October
showed that 44,404, $50 tons OF freight
had passed through the canals up to
that time, a quantity largely in excess
Of any preceding year. The November
returns will bring the total to 50,000,-
600 tons, which will be gain OF more
than 10 per cent. over 1905. The bulk
OF the business is done by the Ameri-
can canal, and the largest part of the
shipments is made up OF ore from the
Lake Superior beds. These shipments
are certain to increase rapidly and in
definitely, for the development OF the
ore regions is going on at prodigious
rate, says the Troy News. Articles
other-than ore are transported on the
great lakes and through the canals,
and will multiply in number and in
crease in bulk as the country grows
in population and advances in indus
try. The time must come when the
canals now in use will not furnish a
sufficient outlet, and the west is in
tensely alive to that fact, The action
of the state of New York in appropri-
ating slO1,OOO,oOO to enlarge its
canals is regarded as a great step
toward improved water facilities, but
the west will never be content until
1t has ship channel from the lakes
ITO tidewater, and that is why special
effort is now being directed toward
getting congressional approval and
national aid for the deep waterways
from Chicago TO the Mississippi.

The Value of PubIlcltx.

Nearly every month somebody cites
the danger of arresting justice
through publicity The best detective,
however, is the honest newspaper
ever ready to correct its mistakes.
The juror who does not read the
newspapers is the most dangerous
juror AS rule, you may safely trust
intelligent men to decide a case in
harmony with the evidence. The eff
fort to prevent publicity from invad-
ing the mind is like the effort to pro
mote health by arresting the circula-
tlon OF ozone. When newspaper
unfairly tries the case beforehand
and hangs somebody before convic-
tion, it makes friends for the ac-
cused If a man is abused before
trial, he should be grateful; for I'M
warranted abuse is boomerang. We
know of q successful man who says
that he is chiefly indebted for his sue
cess to his stupid enemies whose
ample rope gets about their own
necks. This world is promoted by
its martyrs. The innocent can best
afford full publicity, says the Lewis
ton Journal. Prejudice or misinfor-
nation are eliminated by turning on
the light.

The Slavery of Superstition.


There is no form of mental slavery
so torturing as the slavery OF super
stition, says Lillian Bell in Delineator.
We are fond of RELOCATING believers in
1t to the unenlightened but few are
the men and women today who are
perfectly free from 1t in some shape.
And after all, what does 1t amount to
but fear? Fear of disappointment or
disaster. We spend our lives in the
shadow of great fear. / feel no
scorn for the victims of superstitions
of whatever sort cherished, any more
than 1 would feel contempt for the i'll,
treated child, which, when snatched
from the beatings to safety, flung up
its tiny arms to guard its face from
expected blows, at the slightest move
on the part of its new-found friends.
But my heart is wrung with the same
sympathy for all unnecessary and in
explicahle fear which is allowed to
torture and make miserable lives
which but for that would be mostly
sunshine

Young men who are wondering
what opportunity the world holds out
to them when they leave college may
be interested in some figures given in
the latest published report of the
United States commissioner Of educa-

since 1890 there have been created an
average Of about thousand new col
lege professorships every year, and
more than 1900 new positions in the
high schools and academies. Thus
about 1900 new teachers have to be
found annually, without making any

WHERE GAME is PLENTY.

Newfoundland Declared a Paradise for
the Sportsman.
l.. F. Brown, the veteran angler and
camper, writes in The Country Calen-
dar:
Brook trout and brown trout are
not appreciated in Newfoundland, be-
ing lar more common than are the
~perch'and sIlfsh of the states. Catch
ing them will soon surfeit the angler
who casts his flies from the shore Of
almost any lake. Such catches are
counted by the dozen-one lot of sew
enty-tWo dozen being brought aboard
the train at Harbor Grace. One dozen
ten-inch trout usually sell for 10 cents.
There are 6S7 named lakes on the
island, and 10000 known ones, with
out names. The island has about A.
00O miles of seaccast, including that
OF bays like Bonavista, Notre Dame,
Fortune, st. Mary's Bonnie, St. George,
Placentia and Bay of Islands. From
n to six streams of clear green wa
ter empty into each of these bays.
Every stream that reaches salt water
Is a salmon stream. Back from all
that coast are other and easily reached
streams that have not ever a tradition
OF a ishnet, rod or hook and lakes
never mapped where n may camp
n add to the fare wild geese and
ducks, willow grouse, whose plumage
turns white in winter; ptarmigan, plo-
yer and curlew. These camping places
bring a unique sense of remoteness
n solitude. Only one who has act
ually seen the wall of darkness around
a'camp fire in the Newfoundland jun
giles and over the tundras can under
stand the tinge of fear that sometimes
becomes almost appalling in the vast
solitudes."

The Critic and the Lady.

Talleyrand, the noted ~Frenchman,
possessed wit of so high an order that
it has stood well the test of time, and
his jokes are still good. The author
of Juniper Hall gives two Of his
sayings to Madame de Stael.
