DEATH OF Mr.. PERCY HANsBoRoUen.

Mr.. Percy Hansborough died at
the home of Mrs. Jas, r. Lynch,
at Newellton, on Wednesday, fol-
towing an illness of some duration.
Death is ascribed to Bright's dis
ease. He was about SO years of age.
Deceased was the son of the late
Rob't. M. Hansborough, one of the
pioneer citizens of this parish, who
located on what is known as the
Lucky Hit" plantation, near the
Tensas River, and where the subject
of this sketch was born.
Percy Hansborough was am ener-
getic young man, quiet and unob-
trusive and possessed a host of
friends, who will drop tear to his
memory. He was never married and
lived practically his entire life in
his native parish.
To his three surviving brothers,
Joseph, Frank and Robert Hans
brough, the Gazette extends sym
pa,hy.
The remains were inferred in the
family burial ground on Mound
Bayou, the services being read by

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-

chan Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound Of imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
famation 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 infiamed condition of the

PROGRESS IN TICK ERADICATION.

The Federal Department of Ag-
riculture has issued bulletin ON
the progress and effect of cattle tick
eradication in the South that de-
serves wide reading in Louisiana
and Mississippi-particularly in the
State last named The departments
campaign against tick fever is now
seven years old. During that time
1913, S02 square miles of territory
have been freed from the tick
more than one-fourth of the area
originally infected. Progressive
farmers in the tick-freed country
have steadily graded up their herds.
Scrub calves that formerly were
worth, when twelve months old,
from 81 to 81, have been supplanted
by grade beef calves weighing from
$50 to 600 pounds and selling ut
Sl5 to $50.
From this time forth, the depart
ment hopes the progressed tick Grad
ication will be much more rapid.
Southern farmers may now COM
pare cattle-growing results in tick
free country with results in tick-in-
tested country. The theory upon
which the differentiation campaign
was based long ago ceased to be a
mere theory. That it works in prac-
tice is proven by tests covering suf-
fcent periods of time to be conclu-
sive. For example, the department
bulletin reports that grade calves
have been marketed by the Bureau
of Animal Industry in its cattle
feeding experiments in Alabama at
prices ranging from s25 to $50 per
head for three successive years. 1t
adds that good profits were made on
raising and feeding them.
Evidence like this-and it may
be reinforced by the testimony of
progressive farmers-ought to wear
down the opposition to tick eradica-
ton work manifest here and there.
1t ought, as the department hopes,
to speed up" the anti-tick cam
paigns in the territory still infested.
Definite steps should be taken, we
think, to correct the impression fos-
tered by opponents of the work that
the dipping of cattle is dangerous
and has caused the death of many
animals. Since the cattle-dipping
episode at Natchez that argument
has been worked overtime in Mis-
sissippi. Figures produced in vari-
Gus localities show that thousands
eff cattle have been dipped without
loss. An official compilation of cat
tie dipping losses claimed and ex-
planning their cause in every case
where official information is avail
able, would be decidedly helpful in
meeting what is probably the most
effective argument of the anti
dippers. Times Picayune.
