The Fire.

Thursday morning about one
o'clock the Columbia Drug Store
and postoffice was discovered to
be on fire. This was quickly COM
municated to the store of Mike
Tichli which was only a few feet
away, and in thirty minutes af-
ter the fire was discovered both
houses were in ashes. But had
it not been that a slow rain was
falling, and for the heroic work
of our citizens, two-thirds Of the
business houses would today be
in ashes.
The c0ncret store of John
Schepis was damage to a cestain
extent, with slight insurance.
The amount of insurance on
the burned buildings and con-
tents we were unable to learn.
AS to the origin of the fire, we
are unable to say.

Avoid Sedatiye Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute d.
rectly to the occurrence of capil-
larry bronchitis and pneumonia
use enough medicines that con-
tain iodine, marphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you
have a cough or cold. An expec-
torant like Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is what is needed. That
cleans out the culture beds or
breeding places for the germs of
pneumonia and other germ dis
eases. That is why pneumonia
never results from a cold when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
used. 1t has a world wide repu-
tation for its cures. It contains no
morphine or other sedatives.

States served by those lines to
look out for their own prosperity
by seeing to it that the railroad

the fault of the very people

the striking statement that the

expended over $29, 100000 in

comment: 1t is obvious that the

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inf1amed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

The Fair Last Week.

The Parish Fair held here last
week was in every way a COM
plete success. despite the fact
that it rained in spasmodic show
ers during the entire three days
of the festivities. The exhibits
in every department were excep.
tionally good; some were remark
ably fine. considering this the
first fair held and the short time
in which it was arranged.
1t was we'll attended by people
from all sections of North Louis
lana, and all who came commend
ed it most highly.
This is merely an example of
what our parish may do and
what our people, our country
folk can produce, and we believe
the exhibition of our products,
and the drawing together of our
citizens in friendly competition
for premiums on their products
and live stock, will bring forth
good fruit, and that next year
our fair will show great improve
ment in every feature of coun-
try life.
The ladies fancy work display
compared favorably with any ex-
hibition of it's kind seen in this
section. The horse show was
another attractive feature of the
fair. The carnival company also
offered opportunity for fun that
was keenly enjoyed by all.
Begin now, everybody, to make
preparation for the fair next
year. 1t will be on a much more
extensive plan and far better
than this one.

Artistic Duel Puts Tho
In An atlanta Hospital

Atlanta, Oct 20.-Like the famous
artists of the olden times who fought
a desperate duel over the respective
merits of their respective paintings, @
o. Lampkin, a painter and H. R. Far
ris, a decorator, cut each other to
pieces on the corner of Marietta and
Forsyth street last night in the sacr d
name of art.
1t is true that Lampkin paints moth
ing but the outside of houses, and that
Farris decorates nothing but the in
side walls, but that didn't prevent their
artistic natures from clashing, and 10
it they went, each with long
bladed pocket knife. Lampkin was
badly cut on the neck, and Farris on
the body. They are at the Grady hos
pital today, and when the surgeons are
through with them, the police will take
a hand. Neither man is dangerously
wounded.

Sold Craze of His Wife
But Must Rebury The Body

New oYrk, Oct. 21.-The right of a
man to sell the plot in which his wife
is buried in order that he may use the
money for other purposes and bury her
in a less expensive plot came before
the supreme court on an application by
George B. Stone, retired politician.
He told the court that he was hard
pressed for funds now and could sell
the plot in Woodlawn cemetery IL
which his wife is buried. The court
granted the application on condition
that Stone re-bury his wifes body in
the same cemetery and elect monu-
ment to cost not less than $50.
