A lady, no matter where, went
to the store for a peck of apples,
taking what she supposed to be
a newly Hundred flour sack. She
held the sack and the clerk
poured the apples in, when they
came streaming out at the other
end. On examination, it was
found there were two holes in
the bottom, both trimmed and
embroidered. The young man
gave up the ghost and the lady
sent a small boy for the apples

The crop outlook in Caldwell
was never better. A large yield
of cotton and corn will be har-
vested by our farmers this sea-
son. To see the expressions on
the farmers faces when they
come in is a pleasant sight for
any one to see. This has been
a good year for our farmers and
they have not allowed any grass
to grow under their feet.

THE FAIR

Encouraging words come
from all over the parish about
the Parish Fair. Farmers are
preparing their exhibits and
everything points to bowling
success for the second annual
Agricultural Fair for Caldwell.
The aim of the Fair Assocla-
ton is to encourage and stlmu-
late interest in various lines Of
activities. 1t is the desire of the
management to provide exhibits
showing what has been and
what can be raised in Caldwell
Parish along agricultural lines,
poultry, stock, etc. 1t is the
purpose to show the outsider the
industrial wealth of the parish
and to demonstrate to the home
people the possibilities of their
soil and climate in raising pro-
ducts of the soil.
The management has met with
encouragement from the mer-
chants and business men of the
parish. They have been liberal
in advertising in the catalog
as we'll as towards the premium
list, and made it possible for the
management to be able to pre-
sent an attractive catalogue
which will give a full list of
prizes in the several depart
ments. The copy for the cata-
log is expected to be turned over
to the printer this or next week
and will be published at once.
Every home in the parish will
have one of the catalogs mail
ed to them as soon as they have
been turned over to the COM
mittee.
This years Fair must 60 down
in history as second to none of
the Parish Fairs in the State.
Caldwell has the goods and we
must produce them on the IA, 10
and 16 of October next. Just a
little over two months, so let all
81 US work together and make a
Land success of this event.

Wilson Is At Rayville

A special to the Shreveport
Times says: Judge Riley j. Will
son arrived in Rayville today and
opened his headquarters at this
place from which his campaign
for Congress will be directed for
the next few weeks. Richland
Parish voters are thoroughly
Democratic in their views and
Judge Wilson'S friends predict
he will carry the parish by
large majority. Mr.. Elders
course in Congress has not met
with approval of our people and
it is believed that they will sup
port Judge Wilson, believing
him to be an energetic and faith
full Democrat. Public meetings
will be held in his behalf
throughout the parish next Fri
day.
If it is true, as reported, that
the sugar Democrats of Louisi.
ana are to join the Progressive
Republicans, it will be the most
honorable act Of their lives. They
are not Progressive Republicans.
They are stand-pat Republicans.
But if it eases their consciences
to enlist under the protective
tariff banner of Col. Roosevelt in
preference to the protective tar
if of Cannon, Penrose and AID
rich, what does it matter? The
sugar Democrats of Louisiana
bolted the Democratic party in
1894 and almost destroyed it.
They paved the way for Popul-
ism and free silver in 1896 and
for the great party schism which
gave Hannaism and Roosevelt
ism many years of power. They
never were Democrats, but, &C.
ting with that party and trading
with Republicans, they exerted
a corrupting influence upon poll
tics and legislation that now
seems almost Incredible. We
can hardly believe that any such
good fortune is in store for the
real Democrats of Louisiana. If
this sugar crowd can be persua-
ded to join the Progressive and
take the best sugar cormorants
along with it, there will be an
other chapter to write in the his
tory of the New Freedom, New
York World, (Dem.)
