MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Sc
rious Consequences Of Neg
.lect.

"Fix me up something to knock the
malaria, DOCTOR" remarked a sallow-
faced, sickly looking man, entering
prominent physicians Office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down couple of bottles, mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
shake well and follow directions and
resumed his seat.
. "Such cases are frequent, !" replied the
doctor in answer to a question. "The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi-
ton by taking reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fire.

been well said of this praiseworthy
object which is receiving the
hearty aud patriotic assistance of
the Daughters of the Confederacy,
that "The proper marking of the
battle fields, testifying to the
courage of our citizen soldiers
should be a tribute which this
generation ought willingly to pay.
and must pay, to the valor of our
fathers. They left us a heritage
of glory. and in their old age they
should be made to feel that the
State whose honor they maintain
ed upon the battlelields of their
country, still cherishes their
heroic records and will hold their
memory in reverence down to the
remotest generations"
In obedience to this purpose a
petition has been circulated in
this city that has received the
signatures of the Daughters of the
Confederacy, Confederate veter-
ans and citizens. Ii has been met
with just such response as might
have been expected from those
who admire heroic deeds. unflinch-
ing courage and deeply cherish
the records which the gallant men
of the Southland have indelibly
written upon the scolI of fame.
There can be little doubt but
that the leg slators of Louisiana
will respond to this appeal and
set apart for all time to come,
this haIlowed spot of ground,
where the gallant Taylor with his
gallant followers. attacked
and signally defeated the well
equipped and superior forces of
the invaders under Banks.
Louisiana will not be less
proud, in the unborn years, of
this lasting tribute to the heroism
and undaunted yalor of the sons
of the South on this famous bat
tie ground, whose soil is enriched
and dyed with the best blood of
the South's gallant soldiery.

Harriman's Ambition Realized.

Mr.. E. H. HARTMAN, the
great railroad magnate. has
achieved what has heretofore been
the ambition and dream of the
leaders of the steel highways. He
is IN control of an ocean to ocean
railroad route from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. 1t passes through
Louisiana, its short line embrac
ing the Baton Rouge, Hammond
& Eastern, and the southern cut
off from Baton Rouge to Lafay-
cite. The accomplishment of this
gigantic railroad line will make
Hammond, Baton Rouge and La
fayette the three vital points on
the shortest route from the At
lantic ocean to the Pacific across
the transcontinental stretch of
the United States, the Atlantic
seaport being Savannah, the first
Pacific mort being Los Angeles.

OUR HOME AND FARM.

Let's 20 and till our cotton patches
And grow fine staple in heecy patches
To clothe the people Of every town,
Many Of whom are sitting down.
Many have left the farm and pillow,
To find an easier job somehow,
And when this easier Job is found,
They'll work awhile, and then sit round
Too many indeed, have quit the field,
To find, perhaps, a larger yield,
But there's one thing they've all forgot,
That farming is our common lot.
While reading this don't make kick,
And rear as though you had lick.
But read with care and take il in
Go back to the farm and work like sin.
The farm is left for public works,
Where, every day grim evil Turks,
There's gambling, swearing in ev'ry form,
Which chill and blight like winters storm.
Big Wages lured you from your home,
Yet want and wanting make you roam,
Like tramp along the railroad steel
With hardened heart that cannot feel.
Take heed, dear country boys, take heed,
And do not from the farm proceed,
For when you leave the dear old farm
You'll find enough to do you harm.
These woody lands around our town
Should all be cleared and planted down
With seeds Of every useful kind,
That yield the stuff to feed mankind.
'Tis said, our land is poor and light,
And will not stand the summers blight;
That truck will fail to grow and thrive,
No matter how the farmers strive.
This talk about our pine-hiI land
Is idle bosh, and will not stand
The tests that's brought to bear each year,
By men who know and live right here.
Corn and cotton, peas and grass
Will thrive, il labor is first class,
But il bad labor spoils one crop
Change your method and never stop.
Any one knows. with mod'rate care
These hills grow the peach and pear;
The lemon too has fourished fine.
On these pine-hills,-your home and mine.
Then away with all your idle talk
1t binders progress and makes things balk.
We need men of Drawn and quick to see
How pros'rous people Of winn can be.
The people are learning TO manage farm
With more wisdom which lessons harm,
For we well know, when we were boys,
How winn managed her farms like toys.
Wen take for instance, the timbered land,
Twas thought naught else but useless sand,
Covered with pine, fruitless to all
Till glit'ring wealth wound mp the ball.
