KERN TO LEAD THE
SENATE DEMOCRATS

WASHINGTON, March 5.-When
the Democrats of the new senate met
in caucus today to elect a chairman,
there was no opposition to Senator
John w. Kern Of Indiana as tho new
leader. Senator Martin Of Virginia,
few days ago he was glad to lay down
the responsibility Of his Office.
The retirement of Senator Martin
and the candidacy Of Senator Kern ends
a long struggle for control of the SEN
ate of the sixtythird congress between
the so called progressive Democrats and
the old conservatives.
1t was generally understood there
would be no move to disturb the old
leaders in their committee assignments.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronouncedit incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. ]. Cheney 4
Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken

The Times Democrat herewith
presents its second report on the
cotton-crop of 1913. The consen-
sus of opinion is to the following
effect:
l Distinct improvement has been
the rule, the weather having been
almost ideal for cultivation and
growth.
2 There has been no lack Of labor
and the fields have consequently
been worked to the maximum.
8 Complaints of boll-weevil come
from several States and reports from
certain districts Of Mississippi show
that grave damage has already &C.
CURED.
4 Despite the forcing weather of
the last month, the crop is still, on
the average, somewhat late
8 Taking the Belt as a whole,
the possibilities are great, in either
direction. With a perfect season
from this time forward, a bumper
yield might be expected; with a
seriously unfavorable change in this
regard, the outturn might be sensa-
tionally small.

DEATH OF MRS. cHAs. JOHNSTON.

Our community was inexpressibly
saddened on Thursday night to learn
of the death of Mrs. Chas. Johnston,
which occurred at her home about
1920 O'Clock, after an illness of
several weeks.
Mrs. Johnston was 81 years of
age and was the daughter of Will
liam Skinner and Nancy Henderson
and was born at Crescent Home"
plantation, in this parish, Septem-
Der 9Th, 1852, and was married to
Mr.. Chas. Johnston, December II,
1882. This union was blessed with
five children, four of whom survive
their mother, viz: James s., c..
Douglass, Joseph E., and Miss
Louise Johnston, all of whom, save
the youngest son, Joe, who is now
in California, was with their moth
er when the summons came.
A fact worthy of mention is that
the deceased was born, reared and
married and spent her entire life
in Tensas parish, and it was ever
her hope that she would end her
days among the people whom she
knew and loved from childhood.
Mrs. Johnston was a most faithful
and loving wife and a good and
affectionate mother: her home was
her pleasure and her greatest happi-
ness was in promoting the comfort
and welfare of her family and in
training her children in the paths
of rectitude and equipping them
for honorable and useful lives.
A sincere Christian, a good wife
and mother and a kind neigh Dor
and friend, she has builded her
own monument in the hearts OF
all who knew and loved her, and
now, having finished her work here
has gone to reap the reward OF the
faithful in that Home that awaits
all who love and trust Him.
May her soul rest in peacel
The remains were inferred in the
family burial ground at Crescent
Home, and were accompanied to
their last resting place by many
friends.
Services were conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Johnson, Of Lake Providence.
