THE POLL TAX.

While the voters may postpon,
the payment Of their poll tax unit
the 31st of December next, YET
those who are able to do it now
would obtain more satisfaction in
paying it at once. Between now
and December they don't know
what their financial condition will
be. If the last day Of December
arrives when they are in embar.
RAISING circumstances, they will
miss the opportunity with regret.
In certain instances some peo-
pie don't pay their poll tax, when
it is due, because they don't intend
to vote at the next election.
When the election takes place
they see their error and are disap-
pointed, for not being able to op-
pose 9 political issue, OF to sup
port a'friend or q relative. e
Should you allow your poll tax
for this year to 60 unpaid till next
year, you will lose your privilege
Of voting for two years, no matter
bow much you might desire to
participate in an election.

MR.. KRAMER
ACCEPTS CALL.
Will Go to Episcopal Church
in Marshall, Tex.

Rev. c. Z Kramer, who for tn,
past seven months has been serv
ing as dean of Christ Churcl
Cathedral, will preach his fina
sermon at the regular II O'Clock
service this forenoon, and it is ex
pected that there will be large
attendance of the congregation, as
DIR. Kramer, since assuming his
duties, upon the resignation of DR..
| Wells last May, has greatly en-
deared himself to the people, and
attracted many strangers to the
church by his able sermons and
sound arguments for the cause of
religion.
DR.. Kramer is one of the best
known cIergymen of the diocese of
Louisiana, and has been an active
and Jealous worker since his ordi-
nation as priest, May Is, 1884.
For many years DIR. Kramer serv-
ed the pulpit of the Church of the
Epiphany, at New Iberia, and
during his ministry the congrega.
tion was built up, the work broad.
ened, aud the faith in Iberia Par
ish advanced generally.
DIR. Kramer resigned as rector
of the Church of the Epiphany,
being in need of a rest from years
of constant laoor, but as Christ
Church Cathedral was without a
rector he consented to fill the
charge temporarily.
DR.. Kramer has accepted the
'ectorship of Trinity Church,
Marshall, Tex, and will commence
lis ministry in that city on the
irst Sunday IN October. He
caves New Orleans with the best !
wishes of the Eplscopallans of
