A Sensational Murder Case.

The murder trial in progress in the
district court now in session in Colfax,
of |. j. Rhinehart, his son Carl Rhine
hart, and j. M. Arlington, charged
jointly with the killing of Wm- Reeves
near Dry Prong, in Grant parish on
June 3 last, is one of the most sensa-
tional trials in this parish for many
years. All of the men are married and
have families, and have their wives and
children with them as they sit before
the bar. AS they fondle with their
little children, and glance with fleeing
comfort or dread into the eyes of their
loved ones, the accused men and their
families form a sympathetic groupe
that the headliners of the great city
papers would flare in boldletters across
an entire page in relation of the incl
dents of the killing.

This issue of the Chronicle is No. 81
of volume 81, and it completes &c years
of constant service under control of the
present editor. At sunrise on the
morning of Nov. 2, 1877 we arrived in
Colfax, and from that day until this
good hour we have been identified as a
citizen of Grant parish. We have adj
vocated the right as We saw it in all
things, and believe that hundreds of
our readers will certify to that fact.
So, with good will to all, and malice to
none, we start upon another year OF
journalistic grinding, still looking for
the good times that ever seem to be

Our Miserable Mail Service.

Mail Service" on the l.. r. & N.
railroad between New Orleans
and Shreveport, complained of
by Mr.. Abe Rubin, of Alexan-
dria. who points out some of the
bad points among many that can
be enumerated about this service.
. Mr.. Rubin takes Campti, in
Natchitoches parish, as a basis
and example for his complaint;
but, had he come into Grant par
Iish and taken Colfax, Aloha,
Montgomery and Verda for an
example, he would have found
the conditions here even worse
than at Campti. The people at
Campti, by taking a little extra
trouble, can reach the 7. & P.
railroad, and thus have some re-
aief in the matter of mailing their
letters, but in western Grant

print its edition, and, with the
service then given on the l.. X.
& NJ, could mail out copies to its
subscribers by the night trains
in time to reach them in all parts
of the parish Saturday morning,
its very day Of publication. Now,
however, the whole service is
turned topsy turvy, simply be-
cause there are no mailing clerks
on the night trains, and the day
trains all reach a distributing
office just too late to catch the
outgoing mails, thus causing a
delay of IL to "a hours. And
this is not the worst of it: On
the rural routes no mail is carried
on Sunday, and the delay of IL
to "a hours misses all the rural
route deliveries until Monday
morning, thus causing a full loss
of 4S hours or more on the rural
routes.
Our understanding of the U. S.
postal regulations is, that news
papers published at parish and
county seats are to be given the
most direct means of reaching
their readers. If the local man.
ayers do not take some steps to
correct the evils and injustice OF
the present mail service on the
L. r. & N. railroad, we shall ap.
peal to the department at Wash

HANDICAPPED
This is the Case With Many Colfax
People.

Too many Colfax citizens are handi-
capped with bad backs. The unceasing
pain causes constant misery, making
work burden and STOPPING or lifting
an impossibility. The back aches at
night, preventing rest and in the morn
ing is stiff and lame. Plasters and
liniments may give relief but cannot
reach the cause if the kidneys are
weak. To eliminate the pains and
aches of kidney backache you must cure
the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills are
for disordered kidneys.
The following statement should con-
vince every Colfax reader of their eff
cheney.
Mrs. L. F. Vincent, TAT Kirkman St.
