Final Report of Grand jury.

To the Hon. John N. Sandlin, Judge of the Second
Judicial District Court, holding sessions in and
for the Parish of Bossier, State of Louisiana:
We, the Grand Jury, empaneled for this
term of your Honorable Court, beg leave
to report as follows:
That we entered upon the discharge of
the duties imposed upon us with full
knowledge of our responsibility, and have
discharged same with care and diligence.
Webave inquired into all the attractions
of the criminal law brought to oar knowl-
edge, being total of fifty cases, and, af-
ter examination of all cases presented, we
have returned thirty four true bills, ignor-
ed seventeen charges, and one case remains
as unfinished business, wherein the District
Attorney will file bills of information if the
law provide that he may.
We have examined the Offices of the
Sheriff, the Clerk and the Jail, and find
them in good condition and we'll kept.
We extend thanks to your Honor and
other officers for courtesies shown us dur
ing our labors.
Wherefore, we ask that this, our final re-
port, be received and that we be discharg-
ed from further duties at this term of court.
Respectfully submitted,
A. HoFFPAUIR, Foreman.

OUR SENIORS.

A correspondent of the New Orleans
States says the Meschacebe, established in
1852, and published at Edgard, st. John
Parish, is the senior of the country press.
The Meschacebe is seven years the senior
of the Banner, but we venture the assertion
that not one of the Banners seniors-the
New Orleans Picayune, Bee and Christian
Advocate, Alexandria Democrat, West
Baton Rouge Sugar Planter, and perhaps
one or two other newspapers in the State,
can claim that they have been edited, pub
lished or owned by the same person for
fifty three years, as the Banners record
shows.
We are and-patter" on our record
for personal seniority, for it is about the
biggest asset we have to show for over a
half century s wrestle in country printing
office with an old-time Washington hand
press and sundry cases of minion and
long primer type, as many "worn out
fonts' bear witness. And while the
pressman and compositor has apparently
got the best of the old press and the worn
out fonts of type during these many years,
they have left their impression on him,
which he will bear until time is no more
with him.

The United States Senate turns up it's
official nose at William Lorimer. No doubt
he got what, though long delayed, was
justly coming to him. But why gag at the
gentleman from Illinois" and exempt
others who have been more successful in
Towering their tracks?" If that august
body of corporation attorneys is really sin
cere in its work Of purging itself, it should
put the official probe in deeper. There are
richer findings, if diligently sought for.
Not only Lorimer, but Lorimerism must go.

denies himself and goes with his elbows
sticking through his sleeves and his trou-
sers frayed at the bottoms that his wife and
children may make good show and be
we'll fed and housed and clad is knight
clean as sat at King Arthur's round table
manhood and chivalry. If we cannot sac
trusted us and for our children and enlist
our energies and efforts to make them COM
Portable and happy, why we're we made
men?
Which brings us again to the "rainy
day. proposition: with which we began.
The "rainy day. has sometimes come,
after period of initiation and busy pros
perity, and has caught many unprepared.
But suffering and bitter humiliation may
generally be avoided by keeping in mind
the ''rainy day." We have country
here which cannot stay crushed or mashed.
But rainy days. too, will come again as
they have in the past. Crops may be cut
short by drouth or insects, or prices for
farm products be ruinously low. The best
and strongest and surest people lose their
jobs sometimes. Firms fail, corporations
go out of business or remove their plants.
Sickness comes, and sometimes death.
Therefore start in saving something in
prosperity, putting by some money for the
"rainy day." 1t is bound to come to all
of US, sooner or later.
There is the old fable of the grasshopper
who loafed and played all summer and
when the winter cold began to pinch went
begging Of the ant who had been working
and saving and boarding up for bad
weather. 1t is repeated in our lives every
day. The shiftless, improvident and ex-
travagant suffer with every wind of mis-
fortune that comes. 1t is the people who
are strong enough for selfdenial, who can
be thrifty and provident, who can look bad
times in the face without sickening sinking
of the heart, knowing that they have in
reserve some little stores of cash with which
they can defy the wolf and save themselves
from the necessity of seeking charity.
Avarice and parsimony are not neces-
sary. There is no occasion for anybody
| to be a miser. Just prudence and care
and watching of the nickels, dimes, quar-
tiers and dollars, are all that are needed to
start and continue savings bank account.
Most of US waste about half what we earn
let it slip through our fingers and at the
end of the year have nothing to show for
it and cannot tell what we did with it, All
of US can make economies. Dealing hon.
esty face to face with ourselves, all of us
know We spend money for things we could
do without, but there is the "rainy day -
coming surely, mayby near by, mayby far
off in the dim distance, but there all the
same. And when it does come, all these
nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars we are
spending unnecessarily would be mighty
comfortable and consoling and strength
ening and powerfully helpful for our self
respect.
Married or unmarried, but looking for
ward, in employment or out of it, young
men and young women, begin while you
are young, to cultivate and develop the
habit of thrift and saving
I 'tNot for to hide it in hedge,
| Nor for a train attendant;
i But for the glorious privilege
| Of being independent"
