everything went well We received
our goods in first-class condition, and
the prices were less than those

that time the town near which ] lived

necessary. The farming land in the
refghborhood of the town was worth
5000 an acre.
"Our people got into the habit OF
huyfne from out-of-town houses and
neslacting our own merchants. The
result was that the storskeepers gradu-
ally cut down their stocks of goods,
ana some of them moved away. If we
wanted anything in a hurry we could

To the Era Leader
I failed to get my paper last
week so did not see Citizens let
ter. Since then | have heard
that everything bat a good word
for the citizens of the lst Ward
was to be found in Citizens letter.
So | decided to reply to his letter
and defend myself and my people
to the best of my ability. So
this morning | called at the office
begged paper and went home
to write the reply. On reading
Citizens letter, found that in
stead of my holding charges
against citizen, that | was due
him an apology for having spoken
unkind words Of him, that his
letter PROVES were unjust. So |
take back the unkind w"'ds and
beg Citizens pardon. Now Mr..
Citizen as believe that you will
accept my apology and meet me.
on fair ground I beg to disagree
with you on some points. Fist as
to that long petition | do not
know how many signed the petit
ton but have seen two or three
men who signed it and they say
that Johnson went to them and
asked them to forgive him for the
troubles that he had given them
in the past and sign his petit
ton to help him out of his trouble
pledging himself to never again
give any person trouble.
Well they heard his appeal for
mercy they forgave the past,
signed his petition with hope for
the future which shows a spirit
that must exist in the heart of
any Christian. Again you say
that the petition was presented
and as a consequence the Judge
suspended the sentence. Now |
do not think that the Judge was
unduly influenced by the petition.
Ii SCENE to me that there must
have been little of the doubling
Thomas existing in the Judges
breast as to the sincerity of
Johnson's pledges made in his pc.
tition. He had heard whole
lot about Johnson as a "blind
tiger and l believe that he was
fully determined to close John.
sons barroom, so he imposed
heavy penalties on Johnson in
both cases, then suspended the
sentence informing Johnson at
the same time that any violation
of the criminal laws of the state
: would bring the penalties down
on his head. So he hung the
price of jutnson's liberty over
his (Johnson's)own head and then
threw the trip lines to every citi-
zen in the Parish and there John.

war with all that is inhunan. Can
not our nations, civilized as they
claim to be, engage in anything bet
ter than to murder each other?
Think Of the time when this bloody
war will be over. There viii sit the
widow with her children clustered
about her, mourning the loved one
wfTo will brighten their home no
more. There stands the girl anxious
" awaiting her lover, whose loving
embrace she will never feel again.
Think of the dear, old mother, who
sits hopefully awaiting her sons re-
turn, and whose buoyant step will
no more be heard in that dear old
home. Again, think of the country
that nature has so richly endowed
with beauty. There ii will be before
you, devastated, a mass of ruin. The
commerce. which was once at its
height, will take many years to build
up again.
Yes, what are the people thinking
of, to indulge in this costly war? In
after years, when they read books
about "The War of the European
Nations" will not they blush for
very shame, as it is recalled to them
that this war could have been avoid
ed, that all minor disputes could
have been settled in a human way,
beforehand.

The stars incline. but do not compel.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1914.

This last day Of the year is not al
together lucky. for Saturn exercises
sinister sway and Uranus is ad-
verse. Jupiter is in benefic aspect
early in the morning. Neptune is
family hopeful.
It is not an auspicious time Tor
starting anything new or for making
changes. They who are wise will wait
for 1915 before carrying out any plans.
Astrologers warn against asking
any fayors or seeking gain under this
configuration, which is apt to cause
encouragement and pessimism.
While Saturn is in evil the seers de-
clare that gloomy districts, old pulld-
ings and underground places are un-
usually dangerous.
It is an unfortunate government for
investments or for exchanges. Deal
ings with landlords, builders and MI
ners should be postponed until a more
favorable time.
Uranus today may operate to in
crease the activity Of the mind, max
ing it restless, easily disturbed and
rebellious against existing conditions
of life. The natural regret for waste
ed opportunities and serious mistakes
NAV be increased, and it may be well
to seek amusement or pleasant COM
panionship.
The new year comes with promise OF
high and holy responsibilities, in
which unselflshness will be developed.
The stars Indicate that the next few
months will bring to the people of the
