In the matter of costs arpanes will in due time become form of
transportation almost if quite economical the automobile
There anes today which carry six passengers at the rate of 100
miles an hour and make ten miles to the gallon OF gasoline
Two other factors tremendously favor Of the arane The
first the fact that the apne requires rails not road to

and cheaply prepared and maintained.
The other saving arpanes tire cost and the main

Detachable Prerouatjve.

During the reign of Louis XII kiss
ing was very popular at court. Every
dance movement ended with every man
kissing his partner, and no gallant
thought of greeting lady friend with
out kissing her on the lips The king,
himself, enjoyed this to the full, and
always kissed every pretty girl at any
dance or entertainment he attended.
At social affairs 1t was custom for
courtiers to watch Louis, and when
he was In high good humor ask such
favors as they wished.

a quarter of an inch or so more, but
never less than the exact height.

PARISH FAIRS WILL
BE LIVELY RIVALS

One Of the main features at the
1891 Louisiana State Fam will be the
Parish Fair Contest, in which at least
two dozen parish fair organizations
are expected to be competitors for the
substantial premiums offered those
winning hOnors in this contest The
parish making the best showing will
receive an award of $500, the amount
having been largely increased, and
corresponding inducements are offer
ed the other winners.
Practically every product grown in
the soil of Louisiana will be repre-
scented in the Parish Fair exhibition
and the vast array of displays viii
give an idea of Louisiana's wonderful
agricultural advantages and POSSIBLE
titles. The booths will be uniform in
size, and special attention will be
given their arrangement, as credit
is given for appearance of the booths
as well as for quality of products on
display.
Individuals furnishing articles for
the Parish Fair contest may also
compete for individual premiums in
general contests at the Fair.

something rough, spiky and hot to the

restful at our town; and, as | have
nothing much to tell you about to-day

you of some plans which we expect
to work out at once. Over our con-
crete dry kilns we must put a new
roof to protest the potatoes and other
things that may be stored The old
flat concrete roof leaks. So we have
decided to build a new hip roof over
the whole building, 75x80 #. Under
this roof we can place our sewing de-
partment, place for making mattress
es and comforters. a gymnasium can
be installed and equipped, and the
whole thing can be thrown into big
roof garden for dances, parties, and
our good shows. Comrade Angel is
drawing the plans and the lumber bill
will be got out at once, and the chanc-
es are that the next building work
will be on this job. Now, in the event
we run short of house room, a large
number of people could sleep here all
so. In fact, when we have completed
the roof garden, it will be a house of
many services. Again, we are waiting
tor the state road to come through our
town and then we shall build our gar
age, foundry, machine and blacksmith
shop at once. These industries pro- ,
peTly installed will be Of great service
to the whole country around. A let
