evening white horse, attached 10 a
buggy, appeared al the Ecces home and
made several trips during the next four

man. was near al hand. The auto moved
slowly in one direction while the rig
proceeded in another. The Tribune rep
resenta tive halted the man IN the buggy
and was about 10 question him when the
Packard bore down upon them with con-
siderable speed. Then the man In the
buggy whipped up his horse and drove
rabidly away.
Buggy Returned.
Joseph Eccles. when asked about the
buggy and white horse. said with a
smile that II belonged 10 a relative who
had driven in from Huntsville. He de-
MED that there had been a renewal OF
black hand activity, Later. however,
The Tribune representative ascertained
that the buggy had been rented at Nelson
& FeIs livery stables about I:3o p. M,
and had been returned about 1880 When
he left the barn the young man who had
been driving the white horse said:
Charge to Eccles."

there had been no blacB-hand threats.

The neighbors were OF the opinion that
the white horse and buggy had made
an important trip carly I'm the night. but
this could not be confirmed. Another
theory was that the note 10 Mrs Eccles

"N0 Pay, No Paper"

In substance that is what Uncle Sans
postal regulations say. In other words,
a publisher is only permitted to use the
mails to forward his paper, or other
publication, to bona tide subscribers.
In the event the regulation is violated
the post Office authorities bar the pub
Usher from circulating his publication
at newspaper rates. That would just
about take his living away from him,
wouldn't it?
M The Government holds that the
subscriber of weekly newspaper who
is twelve months in arrears is not bona
tide subscriber. Then it must be very
clear to all that We cannot grant credit
on subscription for term in excess of
twelve months. This much we are will
ling to do for any reputable citizen who
is resident of Bossier or any of its
adjoining parishes.

If your household plants are droop-

are craving for stimnlant or at least
a tonic. A man takes an appetizer or a
tonic to give him an appetite. and
plants also have their favorite pick me

grow and flourish and to produce
flowers

so is nitrate Of soda. which must. how
ever. be used very carefully and spar

good. 1t is quite sufficient 10 sprinkle
