COTTON

NEW YORK. Oct 2S.--Tne opening of
the cotton market to-day was barely
steady, being under general selling by
the ring or. Cordell's report, which was
construed as bearish; in fact, 1t was
bearish on the crop, but bullish on
grade. First prices were at a net de-
cline of TO points on near months
and ~ 10 10 points decline on distant
positions.
Despite the unfavorable weather in
large portion of the belt, the. list was
kept under pressure by the bear ele-
ment. who were pushing the decline.
and at the end of the first half hour
the list had widened its decline some IL
TO Is points. The map showed rains
having. been general In practically an
River and frost in the Central and East
ern States and considerable information
came to the effect that the proportion
of low grades were increasing through
out the belt; On top of this weather
experts predicted snow, rains and gen
eral freeze in the weather during the
next few days.
There was evidence of good support
developing when the market reached
400 for October and 1887 for January
Wires told of a disturbance of the Tex

was likely to move eastward and cause

also many bullish crop estimates. all

very little buying from the big fellows

the opening, except near positions.

The firm of Joseph Bordelon
and Sons has admitted a new
and very enegetic member to its
list, and all indications point to i
great success in the hardware
business which this firm has
been pursuing for the last six
years.
This hardware store has been
doing business in in the past
which would startle many
similar concerns of larger cities.
1t has now one of the largest
business of its kind in the Parish
and is every day adding to its
numberless customers.
Miss Mizzi, unlike many ladies'
IN this community, is a through
business woman and knows as
much about the hardware bust
ness as any man here, and with
her aid to the popular store
there is nothing in view for it,
but a splendid future.
A few months ago the.firm Of
Bordelon & Sons was organized
with Joseph Bordelon, as the
head, and Martin and AWE Bor-
delon. The younger men are
rapidly coming into fame as ex-
pert hardware men andIthe many
friends Of the three are. glad to
know that they have taken Miss
Mizzi as one of their partners.
The name of the frmIwill re-
main the same as before.

9TH We are unable to produce
anthrax in chickens, but the
Ispores were not destroyed in the
digestive tract for a period of 48
hours after eating spores.
Anthrax is present in the
bodies and feet, and the ex-
crement of flies that have been
feeding on infected carcasses."
These scientific facts are en-
dorsed by DR.. Dalrymple and
call for ordinances for the de-
struetion of the buzzard, the
carrion crow and the stray dog;
the latter, we admit, is unpopu-
lar, for some crank or enemy Of
the legislative power will raise
the cry of the poor mans dog,
but when the enormous loss that
these stray ours infiict from
their fondness for carrion, not
to speak of mutton, is realized
they must go.
Joseph NJ. Boagni, one of our
Wealthiest and most progressive
farmers, who has made quite a
study of the relation of farm
animals to disease, fully agrees
that the carrion crow must
eventually go, but believes that
before radical measures are in
stituted for their destruction
the health authorities should
enact rigid laws for the inciner-
alton or burial of all carcasses,
which heretofore have been dis
posed of by buzzards, otherwise
they might remain in the pas
lures covered with millions of
flies and a standing menace to
the health of the community.

While all authorities on the
subject are agreed that the crest.

that there will be a fall, and not

zone are taking precautionary
measures, and moving stock

preparing to make good crops
this year, andi it is gratifying to
hear that the angry waters will

Banks OF Opelousas 70 Take
Holiday To-day


To-day being the birthday OF
the man we all learn to know
from childhood and whom we
hail as the Father of our country.
the greatest, the truest and
bravest American that ever
drew breath. all the banks in the
city will close its doors in honor

versary.
The bankers always believe in
honoring the birthdays of all
great men, but they are especial
ly glad this time that the 22nd.
of February falls on a Saturday.
Be sure and remain on your
place to-day so as to watch these
bankers-they are liable to take
a long hunting EXPEDITION and
may kill all the birds on your
farm-some of them, they say,
are crack shots and can almost
hit an english sparrow a mile

Putting On City Airs.

Mr.. John Molaison, proprietor
of the Cafe located in the Healey
Building, on Landry Street,
is putting on city airs.
He now not only waters" q
fellow, but adds something to
the inner man. that's pleasing.
To tell the blunt fact, he
serves a splendid lunch, and a
drink, for just twenty cents.
The Clarion neither objects
nor approves eating in saloons.
It wears no wings, but considers
that eating at the family table is
more conducive to general good
than partaking of the meal OF
the saloon proprietor, intended,
obviously, to repeating the part
of the snake which caused the
necessity for the crucifixion OF
the Good Man of Nazerine.
But since the saloon business
is a legitimate business, since
man will drink-the enterprise
Of Mr.. Molaison is to be com
mended.
It is up-to-date.
It is progression.
And progression means the
uphuilding of a town.

sunshine in that life shaded by
memories Of such a tragedy.
The shroud is not confined to
the preparing of a body for in

It lives in life, and in life it is
most distressing, because it is
not covered by earth and brick.

grief, sobs in his heart.

What Kind Of Mind Food Are You, Giving
9t Your Family?

Ore big fact our Southern
farmers are waking up to, but
they are not waking up to il
half as fast as they ought. This
fact is, that if there is anything
in the world you can't afford tc
be cheap" about, it is your in
tellectual food.
Every sensible man knows
nowadays that the mind counts
for more than the body, the
brain more than the belly; and
yet ninety farmers in every hun
dred who wouldn't think OF
starving themselves Of body
food, stomach-food, muscle-food,
are nevertheless starving them
selves of brain-food, mind-food,
intellectual food.
Many a fond father and
mother who would work their
finger nails off rather than see
their boy feed his body on bones
and crumbs and scraps, will
nevertheless feed that same
boys mind on the mustiest,
rankest, rottenest bran-and-
chaff sort of mind-food that
they can find in the shape of a
newspaper.
But got this paper so
cheap!p' they will tell you.
Three whole years for a dollar,
with a map or a pair of spec
tacles or a fountain pen thrown
in free!!" How can a mind SO
SANDER his own brain, his own
mind! How can he insinuate
that it is worth so little as to
deserve no better food than
some cheap journal thrown in
with a free fountain pen or
buggy whip!
Suppose some agent should
come to you and say: Il under
stand you have been eating
good wheat flour costing S. a
barrel, and feeding your child
ren the same high-priced stuff.
Why, sir, that's too expensive.
You can't afford it. Why here's
a mixture of bran and spoiled
corn meal, and I'll sell you three
barrels for S. and throw in a
fountain pen free!" You would
not take two minutes, we sus-
pect, to show that man the
door.
And yet, although food for the
mind is just as important as
food for the body, there are
farmers in every neighborhood

man, was not suited to be the
head of the Child Labor Bureau.

GROOT ~

Once upon a time4theeoriginal
Groot from the Rural philoso-
phised that a Shovel was an in
vention of Devil.
Without it, he reasoned, :
many men would be required to
handle a Crib of Corn, as it was,
One man with said scoop got

His sub conscious mind told
him that Many men would per-
nit him to side step entirely and
proved he had one requisite for

avoid the pinnacle of Public focus
that single handed endeavor

As the Groot ran principally
to Feet and Freckles, his philo-
sophy attracted about the I'M
usual attention accorded anyone
whose day opened with a Java
Jag at 4 a. M. and closed with a
feed that would have thrown a
scallop into the Bank roll Of the
Hyphonated TWeedle TWills who
dined in some Cafe de Brigand.
But this was a wise Groot.
Freckles and Feet spelled some
thing, the former health, the
latter to ooze in front of HUI
mainly, and they proved : for he
tripped from the rough going of
the field to the silken finish of
an Oriental rug and never lost a
freckle.
Away back in the furrow days
however, there lived one,
Sadie Smith, domiciled about a
mile from the paternal roof of
the Groot, and while she did not
know it, she was built of such
stuff as ehoruses are made of.
The Groot followed her when
he was not following the plow.
He liked fneness il those days,
and shifty Sadie did not smooth
up the going, but the very jars
she thru into him, convinced
him, she was the Rari Avis and
if he wanted her he had to kick
loose, and by climbing over peo-
pie, instead Of clouds, he might
be able to provide a suitable set
ting for this crowned jewel.
