THE FUTURE CITY.
On to New Orleans /!

On to New Orleans!
The handwriting is on the wall. You can
see 1t Whichever way you turn. You can
see it on the map Of the Mississippi Valley
as you trace the water courses to the great
Mother Of Waters. You can spell it out in
the steel rails that lead from the mines,
from the wheat fields, from the cattle pas
lures through the cotton fields of our native
soil to the greatest harbor Of them all, and
you will see it on the hulls of the ships as
they pass through the Panama Canal AS a
man is known by the company he keeps, so
IS a city. And New Orleans is in some very
fast company this week Company that
STANDS for progress commercially and prog
ress in the Illumination and elevation of
mankind. A convention city, truly.
1t does not take a prophet to foretell it's
greatness, with signs posted at ever cross
road.

While we believe it is a good policy to hold
cotton, the privilege should only extend to
those who have a right to hold it. The
farmer who has drawn on his merchant for
supplies that have enabled him to make that
cotton is in duty bound to meet those obliga-
tons, even though he be compelled to take
q less price than he would otherwise receive
We're this not so, there would soon be no
merchant willing to make advances. There
IS but one way for the cotton planter to
and that is not to raise it on credit.

The following, coming from a journal
whose opinion is entitled to respect, is par
ticularly gratifying:
Thirty-four years of continuous publica-
ton is the enviable record made by the St.
Tammany Farmer, published at Covington.
As well as one of the oldest newspapers in
the State it is also one of the best edited.

years of prosperity. Delhi Banner.

Fatal automobile accidents are becoming
50 common that the thrill has left them. We
find it necessary to restrain the lunatic that
he may not do harm to himself or to others.
Yet we allow fanatic drivers of autos to
speed to their death without restriction, and
stand by the roadside and cheer them on
while the ambulance waits.

The amount that the Women's Progressive Union
turned over to Treasurer E. D. Kentzel of the Park
Association as their receipts on Festival through

ton whenever it comes to turning in money.
