Mark Twain, Samuel Clemens,
died at his home at Redding CON-
necticut last Thursday, after an Ii
ness covering several weeks. De-
ceased was top notcher as hum
orous writer, and ranked not only
as the best in America but the best
in the world. He started his career
as a steamboat man, acting as pilot
on the Mississippi River. and after
time went to California where he
embarked into the printing business,
afterwards becoming q newspaper
writer. and still later writer OF
humor. His works became 80 popu-
lar that he had his works publish
ed in books forms, and volume af-
ter volume was added
to his collection. His labors
brought him considerable money,
but entering the book publishing
business on large scale he lost his
savings and was soon bankrupt.
He still labored and reports say
that although poor he paid off his
debts.
His death was hastened or ac-
celerated by the grief at the loss OF
one of his favorite daughters.
Among the comments OF his last
illness is one to the effect that phy-
sicians reduced him from twenty
cigars day to four, and later cut
ting out smoking altogether. In
his last moments Of consciousness
it is said that he would bring his
hand to his mouth. as if handling
a cigar, then pretend to expel
smoke, finding satisfaction in going
very humorouslJ through the ges-
lures of the pleasure which was
denied him. The concensus OF
opinion is that he will have no sue.

The Land and Farm Congress
held at Alexandria last Wednesday
and Thursday was worth 3 special
trip to that place to inform one .
self Of the possibilities OF the state
in which we live. Everybody who
saw the exhibits OF the products
of the farms and lands OF this state
we're absolutely dumbfounded, to
say the least. Lafourchs OF course
took no interest in the matter. and
there was nothing on exhibition
from this parish. All exhibits
were from other sections. II La
fourche had had some OF it's pro-
ducts on exhibition it would have
made the exhibit all the moro won
derful.
All sorts and varieties OF vege-
tables, cereals. fruits, flowers, for
age, hay, cattles. towels, horses,
mules hogs and anything and every
thing raised on the farm could be
found at this exhibit, the greater
portion of which were displayed
in the corridors of the court house
and the balance on the side walks
on the outside. We express our
views on the subject in an editorial
in this issue. The Governor as
we'll as a number of state officers
participated and the unanimous
opinion is that such exhibits and
conventions do only good and un-
told good to this commonwealth.
in that it advertises our advantages
and opportunities to outsiders and
makes US better acquainted with
the innumerable benefits OF this
state as we'll as facts we never
dreamed existed.
