March Frost.

For the first time in several years
this locality has had the unusual ex-

die Of March. Quite a heavy white
frost WAS in evidence Monday and
Tuesday mornings, while ice was re-
ported by some. 1t is to be hoped
that this is the final furry that March
will give Us, and that the weather will
now settle SO that planters can get
busy putting in tLeir crop.

A remarkable COincldent.

We desire to compliment the Lake
Charles Press upon the fine column of
welsh news" that appeared in the
Daily Press of the 10th inst. We are
constrained to believe that this col
unn of news is accurate, fairly we'll
written and covers the local events Of
tine week in which they occurred, pref
ty thoroughly. We are forced to this
belief from the fact that through some
strange workings of the human mind
these items, with the exception of the
words, Special to the Press" at the
head of the column, and two shors
items besides, are identical in thought
and wording with local matter that
appeared 10 the Journal of the Frida Y
previous. OF course some of this
news is tritle stale, as, for instanc.
the play "Out of Town" occurred on
the fifth inst, some eleven days be-
fore the Press reporter'discovered that
it was IA success, likewise the item that
Mr.. - spent Monday In Crowley,
when it appearei ia the Journal had
reference to the previous Monday, but
when it appears in tie Press nearly
ten days later, is slightly misleading.
Of course we would not intimate that
the Press Specials are the product
of the SCISSORS rather than the pen,
and yet we must confess that it is a
remarkable coincident.

Some State Fair Live Stock LIST Prize Aged Herord Herd

went home and sat down on the door
steps and laughed the rest Of the night
away. He laughed at those who first
found him, and he laughed at the
deacon for being robbed, and the doc
tors came and said that nothing could
be done. Mr.. Scott made up the thou
sand dollars to the victim and then
continued to chuckle and giggle and
gurgle and ha, ha, ha! He laughed
at everything. A remark about the
weather brought loud peal, and the
sight Of funeral procession started a
gurgle. No; he hadn't lost his mind.
After forty long years his sense Of hui
NOR had just worked to the surface,
and he was making up for lost time.
He lived for ten years after that and
when on his dying bed he said to a
caller:
II hate to go, you know, because this
is a good old world-ha, ha, ha! Eel
Ter sees something every day to laugh
at. Just thought of how you and Tom
and the others would look marching
in my funeral procession, and-ha, ha,
