The Lachman Company Hfppodrome

impression on the occasion Of their
appearance here il March last, will
exhibit in DonaldsonvilIe next week,

The SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS death

How many readers have heard Of this
terrible disease? 1t prevails in that
far-aWay country-Africa- especially
the Congo district 1t is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fy. When it
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful.
balmy sleep Of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
1y bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief How can we pre-
vent 1t? Mr.. George Hayes, OF
Union City, Pa, writes: "I had lost
my appetite, was ali rundown, could
not sleep nights. I had tried every
thing without relief. yinol was rec
commended, and to my surprise, it
helped me at once; gave me splendid
appetite, and now sleep sound1y."
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes, 1t will
do for every rundown. nervous and
oyerHorked person who cannot sleep.

would like to say, through the columns
Of your valuable paper, a word in our
behalf.
The Laehman Company Hippodrome
Shows come to Donaldsonville with
the best Of recommend attons. To be-
gin with, we are an organization which
does not owe a dollar in the world.
We bring nearly two hundred people
TO your city for one weeks stay. At
an average expenditure OF $3.50 per
person, this means that we will pay
out something over 1890 to your local
merchants and business men. Further
more. we do not tolerate gambling or
immortality in connection with any Of
our attractions.
Our various engagements are adver-
tised in three ways: First, by large
banners displaying the dates; second,
by the local newspapers; third and
best OF ali, by knocks IRON the
knockers. We consider the last the
most beneficial, for the following rea--
sons, viz: The knocker talks about US,
thus causing the fair minded people
to visit US and sea for themselves;
again; the knoeker has knocked about
SO many different things that the pub
lie is dubious of the justice of his
criticisms; lastly, it is Inexpensive.

kindness, [ am,

Private Market Ordinance Enacted

l Il
The Donaldsonville common council
at it's regular session of last Wednes-
day evening re.en acted the municipal
ordinance permitting the operation Of
the four private markets that have
been conducted for several years in
localities remote from the public
markethouse, and this step was mani
testify IN accord Nth equity, justice
and public sentiment. There we're two
sides of the question to be considered,
as suggested by The Chief, and their
discussion at the council meeting was
quite animated and thorough. A mi
nority Of the council and of the COM
munity at large will probably dissent
from the action and view of the ma
jority, as is usual in such cases, but
there is ample evidence in the nnmer-
ously signed petition presented in be-
half of the mainten ance of the private
markets, and N the tenor of the dis
cussions among the citizens of the
town, for reiterating the declaration
that the final disposition of the matter
by our municipal legislators meets the
approval and Endorsement Of de-
eisiye majority of their constituents.
It will be noted that the council has
not thrown open the door for the in
discriminate establishment of private
markets, and such a course would be
exceedingly unwise. What has, been
done is merely to restore the condition
of affairs that existed prior to the re-
peal of the ordinance permitting the
mayor to issue licenses in his discre-
tion for the opening of private mar
ketss and to add che additional
restraint and requirement that the con-
sent of the council must be obtained
as prerequisite 60 the future grant
ing of such licenses
There is little likelihood of any de-
mand or reasonable pretext arising in
the near future for increasing the
present number of private markets,
and it is to be expected that the pro-
per authorities will exercise rigid
supervision over these places of bust
ness, to the end that the law and or
dinanees appertaining thereto shall be
implicitly obeyed and the public
health fully protected. It is but fair
to say, on the authority of reputable
citizens claiming to be qualified to
judge by personal observation, that
10 the matter of general cleanliness
the private markets of DonalGsonville
have compared more than favorably
heretofore with the towns public mar
ket, and that there is seldom if ever
such littering Of the vicinity of the
private establishments with hoofs and
bones of slaughtered animals as is
sometimes made manifest to the eyes
and nostrils Of passers. by in Crescent
Place. II the private markets are
kept in as good sanitary condition
henceforth as they have been up to this
time, and the public market is re-
quired to conform to an equal stand
ard, there will be no serious ground
for complaint on this score by the peo-
pie of our town.

Dear Sir:-I beg to note the i'm
proyemenb in the public road at the
upper end of our Point Houmas plan
tatton, where a new tevee is being con
strueted, aud l wish to thank you for
taking hold OF this matter of public
duty. The day or two of work and
the ten or fifteen dollars expended
have made it possible fer teams to
travel this streteh Of road for the pres
ent, but the road is not built properly
nor is it provided, with bitches on each
side for drainage. The whole road
from DonaldsonviIie to the ST. James
line needs to be raised in the center
with the dirt that should be plowed
out Of tie bitches on both sides,
thereby affording good drainage and
vastly improving the condition Of the
highway. The bridges should be- re
paired or rebuilt, as some of them are
positively dangerous. All of this
work should be done before the winter
rains set in and the road becomes i'm
passabe and unsafe for public use.
Yours truly,
