TOM JoHNsoN's CONDITION.


Tom l.. johnson ls in the hardest
fight of bis life. He is fighting to re-
gain his lost health; he Is fighting for
his life.
For several years johnson has been a
sick man. His family sDd closest per-
sonsl friends have known 1t, but the
truth as to bis physical condition has
never gotten beyond this inner circle.
For several years he has dieted snd
been treated for diabetes. For months
psst be has told his friends that he had
beaten diabetes and that he felt his..return
to full health and strength was 8 matter
of a short time. Neither his appearance
nor actions have corroborated bis spoken
optimism, however.
Throughout bis last campaign be was
under ply sicisn's care. For weeks be lay
abed in New York undergoing the most
heroic treatment. A week before the ref
erendum on the Taylor ordinance be was
back in Cleveland against the advice OF
his physicians.
And now, IS last resort, be hss gone
to Earope to seek the care of specialists.

adiudged insane last week and committed
to the county Jail, at Manassas: Sat
urday evening he sttempted suicide by
butting his head against the iron 6srs OF
his cell. When demonstrated with by the
taller for his rash act, Stolls said he
could not stand what people were saying
about him, and that the ghost OF Quin.
ton Hutchinson was crying out against
him for murder. About ayear ago Quin,
ton Hutchinson was accidentally killed
in the pyrites mines near Dumtries. at
which time Fred Stolls was superinten'
dent of the mines. In the trial OF tne
cause of Hutchinson's widow against the
mining company for damages, the plain
tiff's attorneys accused Stolls OF causlnf
Hutchinson's death, through careless
ness Ever since the trial Stolls ha'
,na-;fested an unbalanced mind and
;s now supposed that the allegation
made at the trial have preyed upon ant
dethroned his reason.

THE PANAMA EXPOSITION.

When it was first proposed to raise funds
for the exposition by taxation we were in
clined to believe that the money could be
raised by subscription and sale Of stock, and
that the energy used in thus financing the
scheme would be of benefit to the State;
but we are now convinced that the under
taking is too great to be handled in this way
and therefore approve the proposed taxa
ton for that purpose.
No part of the State, outside Of the city
OF New Orleans, will reap greater benefit
from the exposition than St. Tammany par
lsh. We are just awakening to the knoWl-
edge that we possess advantages for truck
growing that will in few years give our
products prominence in Northern and East
ern markets and invest our lands with an
earning capacity attractive to the seeker OF
profitable employment and opportunities for
farming. We have land that can easily be
sold to thrifty farmers when we show what
can be raised on them. Thousands OF these
farmers will visit the exposition and see the
products we have on exhibition. 1t is but
step from New Orleans to here, and they
will take advantage Of the opportunity to
personally inspect these lands. There is no
doubt of this. Hundreds of thousands OF
American farmers have sold their high
priced lands and reinvested in cheaper lands
in Canada and elsewhere-lands that DO not
yield nearly the profit per acre that lands
here yield. We have never brought to the
notice Of this class of farmers what we have
to offer.
The proposed tax Of three-eighths Of a
mill will cost the average farmer assessed
at $500 but .1l5 gents a year, or $3.50 for
the ten years, if that length Of time is re-
quired. The value of the exposition to the
farmers Of this parish is not to be considered
simply for it's pecuniary advantages. 1t
will afford opportunities for acquiring
knowledge that could otherwise only be OBJ
tanned by years of travel, and it will afford
this opportunity at cost within the means
of all. If the exposition is held in San Fran
cisco few Of us could afford the expense of
visiting it.
General expression is in favor of the expo
sition; the Press Association of Louisiana
has endorsed it; nearly every interest in the
South has endorsed it. Then let us come
heartily to it's support.

Presbyterian Church at o'clock, p. Long be-
fore the appointed hour the sacred edce was crowded
to the doors. The church was deliberately decorated
for the occasion, halfway from the entrance OF the
south door was large arch of ivy, arbor vitae and
white flowers. The entrance on the north side OF the
church arranged the same. Both led to the huge
arch composed Of evergreens and Easter hines IN the
center of which hung large white wedding bell OF
lilies. Under this arch the Minister OF Cod the Rev
Flower of the Central Baptist Church OF New Or
leans awaited the arrival of the bridal party At the
ing on the of her brother, Mr.. Jos. Langston,
who gave her into the keeping of the groom. Pre-
cedng the bride was first the two tiny pages Masters
John Lewis and Clarence Ray Farmer, both attired
in white next came the lovely little flower girl, Pom
mic Durham, who resembled miniature angel at
tired in white bearing in her hands snowy blossoms.
Mrs R. Farmer: sister of the BRIDE acted as matron
sented striking appearance as maid of honor. The
groom was attended by Messrs. JOS Langston and
Theo Eddins. The ushers were: Robt. Smith, H.
Bourgeois. K. Sojourner, S. Baker, FL. Batson and
Prof. Messick. The bride, who is the youngest
daughter of Mr.. B. D. Langston, presented beauti-
full appearance of grish loneliness attred in liberty
satin finished in pearls. She wore the usual veil of
illusion over handsome wreath of orange blossoms,
and carried bouquet of BRIDES and lilies of
the valley; After the sacred words were pronounced
from the church by the way the groom had entered,
slgnlfyng that henceforth she would walk the paths
he trod After the marriage reception rendered
the relatives and few friends at the residence of
the brides sister, Mrs. j. F. Polk. The happy couple
left Thursday for short bridal trip returning to
Pearl River, their future home.
A very strange freak of nature was shown here
recently. A little chicken was Matched out at the
home OF Mr.: and Mrs. Chas. Fogg, having four COM
plete legs four complete wings, three eyes and
tiney beak. When Mr.. Fogg found the little chick
it was already dead. He placed it in alcohol and
still has it.
