A Record of Service.

For forty-four years The Times
Democrat, of New Orleans, has been
the loyal friend of the South, doing
all within the power of a most able
daily newspaper to advance the Intel
ests OF its entire section, In point
OF completeness in every department
that goes to make up great daily,
The Times-Democrat has few equals
and no superiors. In its news SER

editorial utterances are always safe,
conservative and thoughtful, and
withal spicy and pointed. It is in
deed valued friend of the South

what that phrase-nothing in the pa

the day no misfortune has befallen
any one in our city; that no fire has
wiped out neighbors worldly goods:
that the grim angel of death has

no man driven by liquor, hatred or

that no poor devil, haunted by the

The Arrival Of Miss Spencer.

The Arrival Of Miss Spencer.
Miss Phoebe Spencer, the. pioneer
school teacher of Glencaid, came d.
rect from the far east, her starting
point some little junction place back
in Vermont, although she proudly
named Boston as her home, having
once visited in that metropolis for
three delicious weeks. She was of an
ardent, impressionable nature. Her
mind was nutured upon eastern con-
ceptions of our common country, her
imagination aglow with weird tales Of
the frontier, and her bright eyes per-
ceived the vivid coloring of romance
in each prosaic object west of the
tawny Missouri. ALL appeared so diff
ferent from that established life to
which. she had grown accustomed
the people, the country, the pictur-
esque language her brain SO
teemed with lurid pictures OF border
experiences and heroes as to reveal
romantic possibilities everywhere. AS
her eager eyes traced the .serrated
peaks of a snow-clad mountain range,
her heart throbbed with anticipation
OF wonders yet to come. Homesick-
ness was a thing undreamed OF; her
active brain responded to each new
impression. HI
She sat Comfortably ensconced in
the back seat Of the old, battered red
coach, surrounded by cushions for pro
lection from continual bouncing. as
the sJehu in charge urged his restiye
mules down the desolate valley Of the
Bear Water. Her cheeks were flushed.
her wide-open eyes filled with anes-
tioning, her pale fluffy hair frolickjnR
with the breeze, as pretty picture of
young Womanhood as any one could
wish to see. Nor was she unaware of
this fact. During the final stage of
her journey she had found two con-.
genial souls, sufficiently picturesque
to harmonize with her ideas Of Wild:
western romance. Vi u
