DIFFERENCE OF VISION.

Referring to the candidacy of
John M. Parker for governor, the
esteemed Monroe News-Star says:
"The people of Louisiana can see
no difference between Progressive
and a Republican. They both look
so much alike that it will take a
powerful microscope to discover the
difference.
If Col. Teddy. Roosevelt and his
Progressive supporters had been
blessed or eussed with the same de-
linquency of vision three years ago
the chances are many to one the
Democratic national ticket would
have been defeated.

Hunting Season Opens.

The hunting season opened Mon
day and scores of Nimrods took the
field with dog and gun in search of
quail and doves. Both of these birds
are plentiful this year, due to the
favorable breeding season, and some
excellent bags were reported. Par
fridge shooting will not be at it's best
in this section, however, until after
the grinding season, as the@standing
cane offers them a safe haven and
one which their unerring instinct
prompts them to take advantage of
whenever FLUSHED" at this season.
