HOMESEEKERS VISIT LOUISIANA

Sixteen Carloads of Northern Men
Arrive to View Cut-Over Lands of
Southern Portion of the State,
With View of Purchasing.
New Orleans, Nov. 10.-Sixteen
carloads of farmers and investors
from the middle West and the North
west arrived yesterday over the Illi-
nois Central for various points in
Louisiana to inspect Louisiana lands.
This was the first big movement of
such land seekers this year, and they
came at the behest of real estate
agents in Alexandria, Vermillion
parish, and along Bayou Lafourehe.
There We're more than feur hun
bred in the aggregate of the parishes
and it is said that these are but the
forerunners Of larger numbers who
| will come at various times. All
were taking advantage of the cheap
homeseeker rates, which are offer
ell on all lines on the first and
third Tuesdays of each month to at
tract homeseekers to the South.
1hs men who arrived yesterday were
from Springfield, ILL.,, Peoria, ILL.,,
Indianapolis, Waterloo, Iowa, and
other points in that section.
o. w. Crawford, local farm lands
dealer who has been about nine
weeks in Chicago on deals relative
to this territory, returned on the
train with the homeseekers. He
said that they seemed enthusiastic
over the prospects for investment
and that the sentiment In favor oil
cut-over lands is growing to be al
most as great as that which has
been manifested in favor of the al
laval lands of southern Louisiana
especially around Bayou Lafourche
Mr. Crawford reported that he fount
great interest in colonization of Lou
lisiana lands and that the indications
were strong for one of the bes
years for farm lands men in the his
tory of the Observation-Disclosures

Why We Hang U, Stockings.
ALL IN MY SERVICE BLEND.

The custom Of hanging up the stock
ing on Christmas eve arose from an
incident in the life of the good st.
Nicholas. One day. when he was over
taken by severe storm. he took ref
uge in convent. and the next day
being Christmas he preached sermon
to the nuns which they liked so much
that they asked him to come the next
year and preach TO them again.
On his second visit, which was also
on a Christmas eve, before going to
bed he asked each Of the nuns to lend
him stocking, and he filed the stock
ings with sugar plums in return for
their hospitality.

The first two deaths occurred in SAM

demand an investigation, and it will be

The Christmas Star.

A little star, all undismayed,
Stepped down the dusky ways Of night
White footed, smiling, unafraid,
1t passed the orbs Of greater light.
1t held its slender taper high,
The tiny splendors piercing far.
II knew its time to shine was nigh,
For. 10, 1T was the Christmas start
A little child knelt in the dark,
With clear eyes raised and lifted face.
She saw the tiny travelling spark
Move on from its appointed place.
The tears weled so she scarce could see.
Its orb of brightness grew a bar.
Mother" she cried, ut comes to mel
ut kissed my eyes. the Christmas star!'
God knows that both these things are
one
The star that shines, the eye that sees.
The answer to the prayer Is shown
Unto the sinner on his knees.
On the long lanes OF splintered light
Descends the shining avatar,
But only tears of pure delight
Could bring the holy Christmas star.

Prices for Printing

a hOrseman ordered an advert e-
ment in the Courier the other day and
seemed surprised that he had to pay
% to 80 per cent more than a few years
ago. He was reminded that he pays
S1S or $50 a ton for hay which he for
merly paid IS to $10for, an advance of
over 100 per cent. 1t should be also
remembered that the cost of ma.
terials and labor is higher than ten
years ago, and in addition that the
value of the money as measured in its
power TO buy staple foOdstuffs has de-
preciated % to 80 per cent. This dimln-
ishing value of money is ascribed by
some economists to the over production
of gold.
Whatever the cause, there is no valid
reason why the price of printing and
advertising should not advance along
with prices of other commodities. A
price that was just as reasonably prof
liable five or ten or fifteen years ago
may only pay expense of production at
present.-CarO Courier
