What Is He'll?

A noted divine recently made the
assertion that there is no hell.
Maybe so, but, as Bide Dudley says
what is it when you're dressing in a
hurry and lose your collar button?
Maybe so, but what is it when you
leave note on your front door for
the collector saying you're out and
he comes and sees you washing
dishes through the window?
Maybe SO, but what is it when you
go to see your best girl and ma
sends little brother in to keep you
company all evening?
Maybe SO, but what is it when
you're ready to go to a dance, bend
your back to pick up your tie pin and
your evening dress trousers insti-
tute proceedings for a divorce along
the seam?
Maybe SO, but what is it when you
are taking your first meal with your
affinity's folks and upset your cof-
fee on the brand new table cloth?
Maybe so, but what is it when you
are awakened from sound sleep
by your wife and made to walk the
floor with a crying baby for two
hours, develop goose pimples and
step on a tack?
Maybe SO, but what is it when
you're out with your new sweetheart,
she says "ice cream" and you haven't
cent in your clothes?
Maybe so, but what is it when you
wear your best and newest suit to
the opera and sit on hunk of chew.
ing gum?
Maybe SO, but what is it when you
get to bed at 2, a. m, and your wife
rouses you out at to build fire?
Amt no hell? Why, course there
is.

boats, toNet by ANNA! power. ant !oloI ooa's'
harges, ETC., are now utilized IL bringing the pro
duce of that wonderfully fertile section OF our
state to the various shipping points, where the
produce is then sent to New Orleans. Potatoes
are reported to be selling at Sl.W a sack, contain
inc about ninety pounds, or a bushel and a nail
but the statement is not made as to whether this
is the net result on Bayou Lafourrhe or IN New
Orleans.
A common way Of estimating the profit in po-
tato culture is to state how many barrels nave
been produced from one barrel Of seed potatoes,
the cost of seed potatoes being quite a serious
item. Along the Mississippi River twelve to f1-
teen barrels of potatoes produced from one barrel
planted is regarded as an excellent yield, and. IN
fortunately, the yield averages less than this. Re-
ports come from Bayou L.afourche OF as high as
~forty-cne barrels having been produced from one
barrel of seed and that a yield Of thirty to thirty
five barrels to one has been frequent.
It is stated that from Lockport a thousand car
loads of potatoes and onions will be SHIPPED away.
Further, it is incidentally stated that two years
ago the onion crop alone brought about $500, OOO
into the parish of Lafourche. This year, owing tc
the low prices, the amount will be far less, proba'
bly, less than one-half of this.

The friends of both parties and the
attorneys who had effected this ar
rangement felt very much pleased over
the arrangement until the card of apol-
ogy appeared and they found printed
just below the apology another attack
in the guise Of an explanation, which at
considerable length charged that while
l had not done 90, Mrs. Favret, my sis
ter had taken the false oath and the
only reason the editor Of the Protector
had apologized was that he was too
much of a gentleman to expose a lady
in court. The subterfuge of attacking a
lady in the public press before a wide
circle of readers, because he was too

Of a family or relative living in the

fer to collateral relatives such as broth

Mrs. Favret was fully justified in TAX
ing such an oath.
The Protector however without ex-
animation and with malice aforethought
published this communication attacking
me, l then brought the matter before

cords, apd Mr.. LaFrance was indict-
