Just four Wee k later to a day they arrived at WrangelI under sail, having used up all the sup ply Of gasoline they had on board. In a burst of confidence winch he never thought would reach ithe Miner Man. Billy todl the story on himself that he had been So afraid Of getting lest on the way up that he mad hugged the shore all the way aaillng up to the head Of all lhe bays and bights, rather than ta,se any chances on cut ting across. TheH they chug- ged twice around Etolin island, and they would probably be still going around 1t if the mist hadn't cleared ID one day and disclosed Wrans7ell across the channel. Their supply of soap gave out early in the game, so there was no furtL CT use of washing, and Billy whiskers grew so long that th ey caught in the fl.5wheel. Disgu. sted with his OWE navigating he desert ed the ship at Wrangt II and went on up to Juneau on a steamer.

THE ITEM OF CHICKENS AND
EGGS,

Very likely few of our home people
realize what a large item the local
export of chickens and eggs is. In the
first nine days of July 1886 pounds of
poultry were shipped from Bayou
Sara to New Orleans bringing an
average price of zoe per lb. Taking
the average of broilers alone it is
nearly IS cents the pound Nor is
this an exceptional shipment for it has
been going on in steady stream for
the past two months. Poultry and
eggs have a ready market in town or
for shipment. The possibilities are
immense.
The people of Woodville are even
more advanced in the poultry business
than we are here. The ladies have
formed a cooperative association for
the sale of their poultry products, and
are already finding it solves the prob
lem of ready money

AS TO INCUBATION.

Commenting on the measures taken
by the West Feliciana authorities to
prevent the spread of Charlton, the
Woodville Republican makes the fol-
lowing statement:
Cali of which is most advisable ex-
cept the compulsory vaccination of
stock which should be resorted to only
in infected areas, for the reason that
a genuine case of Charlton occasionally
develops from the effect of incubation. y
This imputation against incubation
is to be regretted, for it creates feel
ing of distrust of this method of pre-.
vention, which may work harm at this
time. Indeed We would not have quot.
ed it at all, but a correspondent has
already written us concerning this
statement by the Republican, and as
there are many persons, who see both
papers, it is well to advance the
thought that the objection our con
temporary makes to incubation is true
of all sorts of vaccination. If the blood
is bad, a person inoculated for small
pox, has quite as bad an arm, even
worse than if he had real small pox
In some cases, amputation, even death
have followed, yet few persons deny
the efficacy of vaccination.
For like reasons, some animals inoc
ulated for Charlton, may develop symp
toms of the disease but it could never
be so malignant as the disease itself
would prove in such an animal.

A CORRECTION.
The True Democrat.

The True Democrat:
In your issue of last Saturday by
request of Mr.. Richardson the Police
Jury had published "for comparison"
an ordinance relating to the Charlton
situation in the parish, submitted by a
committee from a citizens meeting.
AS one of that committee, would re-
quest a correction in so far as the
recommending of an inspector is con-
cerned. This committee did not rec
ommend to the Police Jury the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Towles or of any
one else.
