Arkansas has given women the
Primary vote, and this is practic.
ally full suffrage, since nOmina-
tions are what count in q one par.
ty state. Four towns in Florida
have given women the municipal
vote, and Lookout Mountain in
Tennessee has done the same.
This in addition to the school suf
frage in some southern states and
the measure of tax-paying suf
frage in Louisiana means that
women are coming into their own
In the south. And surely we
know that our. southern women
are the equal in intelligence and
trust wOrthiness of the women in

HIS VOW.

Patrick Dennis, who vas ad-
dicted to drinking whisky, was
often urged by his friends to sign
the pledge, but with no avail, IN
til one day they read to him from
a paper an account of q man who
had become so saturated with al
cohol that on attempting to blow
out a candle his breath ignited,
and he was blown completely to
atoms.
A look of horror spread over
Dennis's face, and bis friends
thought the long desired moment
Of repentance had come.
"Bring me the book. boys
bring me the BOOK" he said. "His
breath took fire, did i'll Sure, I'll
never die that death"
The book was placed befofe him.
"Hear me now, boys-hear me
now. l, Patrick Dennis, KNOWN
my great weakness, deeply sensi
BILE OF my past sins an the great
danger I've been in, hereby take
solemn oath that 80 long as l live,
under no provocation whatever
will l blow out q candle aeln."

Mr.. R. F. Hogsett and Mr.. James
Gonsoulin, both OF this city, appeared
before the Police Jury on Thursday
and agreed to take over the operating
of the dipping watts recently located in
the several parts of this parish by the
Police Jury, and charge them with the
solutions made according to the gov
ernments formula; provided, they be
allowed to make q small charge per
head for the service. The Police Jury
passed the necessary resolutions, auth.
orizing such use. The tick eradication
ordinance of this parish was SO emas-
culated by the amendments and re-
strictions forced upon the Jury last
year that the law fell into desuetude.
The states law will come into force
next year-then. cattle dipping will
become compulsory again. Many of
the farmers have gone to considerable
inconvenience and some expense to
free their herds of the tick. The pro-
posed plan of Messrs. Hogsett and
Gonsoulin is calculated to preserve the
advantage gained and save those who
preserve their pastures free OF ticks
deal OF annoyance now and next year.

Since Easter Sunday, the rail,
road excursions have been running
regularly, enabling some people TO
visit, at reduced rates, various sec.
tions Of the country. The cities
and towns thus visited return the
compliment, at intervals, TO those
who have honored them, by their
presence, in like manner. BY so
doing, there is something to gain
on the part Of the pleasure seekers,
who happen to come in contact
with people whose personality ma
terializes into friendship.
Last Sunday, among the excur
slonists going to Tbibodaux, there
were some people Of this city who
availed themselves of the oppOrtu
nifty. Thibodaux is building slO,
600 park, which is nearing compile
ton. 1t is at that place of amuse
ment that on Sunday the excur
sionists were entertained. They
we're received in such a way as to
place in evidence the hospitality
that characterizes the citizens OF
Thibobaux. ThibOdaux was glad
to welcome them, and, in turn, all
being Of the same disposition, they
spent there a good day of recrea
ton. On their return trip. they
left ThibOdaux with reluctance,
although they knew that they had
to leave at the appointed hour.
The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, in taking the necessary
steps to place in commission a GER
tain number of its trains in order
to run regular excursions during
the summer season, did it in con
formity with the wishes Of many
people. Although there il moth
ing better than home, "sweet
home," yet it is quite just and
equitable for any one to take at
times a pleasure trip, be it ex
tended or not. PRINTER.
