Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. It is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste OF varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as It can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

choice Of Starch n matter Of great i'm.

from all injurious chemicals. is the
only one which is safe to use on fine

makes half the usual quantity OF Starch

AN ELECTION ON THE 10Th.
Effort to Gust Saloons in jefferson.

The prohibitionists have drawn
first blood in the fight to abolish
open saloons in Jefferson county,
the Board of Supervisors having
ordered an election for the 29th Of
January, to be held in accordance
with chapter 40 of the code, to
determine whether liquors shall
be sold in the county.
Due notice of the election has
been given by the county commits
sioners and the real battle will be
waged during the next week. The
proh1bitionists have secured sew
eral we'll known temperance lee
turers, who viii deliver addresses
in the various precincts of the
county, and a large amount of lit
erature showing the evils of whis-
ky drinking and the open saloon
is being placed in circulation
The prohibition committee,
composed of Rev. E. M. Stewart,
Rev. D. Scarborough, Prof. H..
l.. McCIesky and Messrs. G. c..
Coffey and M. G. Harper, has is
sued an address showing that the
liquor sold in the county each
year amounts to SIG, 100, 'appor-
toned between six saloons, equiv
alent to the value Of 1882 bales
of cotton at 10 cents per pound; !;
that twenty years ago Fayette
shipped as much cotton as Brook
haven, while today $4,000 bales Of
the staple are marketed annually
at Brookhaven and Fayette gets
barely 10000 bales; that while
other towns are closing-saIo
and opening banks, Fayette is
opening saloons and can boast of
but one bank; that purely from a
business standpoint, and apart and
aside from the moral question in
volved, the saloons should be
abolished.
The prohibition committee We
hemently denies the assertion that
the blind tiger always thlives
where che saloon is put out of ex-
Eistence, and declares that where a
blind tiger will sell five gallons of
liquor the open saloon will sell
five barrels. The saloon element
is also very active in every pre-
cinct in the county and the fight
promises to be extremely bitter

Mardi Gras at New Orleans.

New Orleans, Jan. "a. For the
purpose Of assisting visitors to
New Orleans during the Mardi
Gras period. the New Orleans
Progressive Union announces that
it has established a. Free Hotel
Rooming and Information Bureau
which !, is now located at number
1875 Gravier street, in the same
Office which will be occupied by
the Joint Validating Agency
where those holding tickets sold
under the Mardi Gras rate must
come to deposit same. Secretary
Trezevant advises that this infor-
nation is for the use of visitors
absolutely free of cost and those
desiring to secure rooms in ad-
vance may do so by writing Mr..
Edward Pickens, superintendent,
726 Gravier street. The carnival
spectacle promised this year is
said to be one of the most beauti.
full in the history of many years
of Mardi Gras. Many of the car
nival balls already have been Civ
en- at the French Opera House,
but the gayest of the period is
comprised between the 3rd and
the 18th of February, the 10Th be-
ing Mardi Gras day. The first of
the Illuminated night pageants
will be that of Momus on Februa-
ry 7th followed by tableaux and
ball at the French Opera House.
On Monday, February 11th, Rex
arrives with naval pageant and
is escorted through the streets
with military honors. The same
night the Krews of Proteus gives
its Illuminated pageant and ball
and the following day at 10 a. m.
the gorgeous pageant of Rex will
take place with twenty floats.
The festivities eliminate that
night with the Rex ball at the
Athanaeum and the night pageant
of the Mystic Krewe of Comus
and their tableaux and ball at the
French Opera House.
There are eight theatres in New
Orleans including the famous San
Carlo Opera Company at the
French Opera House, all running
| in full blast, and many other en-
ftertainments and places of amuse-
ment open to carnival visitors.
The railroads have made the usual
reduced rates and an unusual
heavy attendance is anticipated
and being prepared for by sthe
people of the Crescent City.
