Attention of readers is called tt
a letter, appearing on our front page
to-day, from Hon. F. H. Schneider
President of the Fifth Louisiana
Levee Board, in which he gives &
general report of condition of levee!
throughout the district. The letter
contains great deal of valuable in
formation to our people and should
be read by everyone.
Mr.. A. Saloman, prominent resi-
dent of Newellton, Tensas Parish, La.
and well known here, is at the Nat
chez Sanitarium to undergo a sur
gical operation necessitated through
threatened blood-poisoning in one OF
his feet. He is attended by his son
Mr.. Julius Saloman (and wife,, hi:
daughters, Mrs Herman Goldberg and
Mrs. Levi (and husband) Watcher
Democrat.
Freezing weather visited this sec.
ton this week, but happily the skies
nave been clear in the day and moon
has shone in the night, making the
world appear beautiful to all who will
see it, for after all, life is what we
make it, and it behooves us to get
the best we can out of it, but that
consists as much in making life worth
while to others as to ourselves, fol
of all vices that are detestible, self.
ishness is one of the greatest.
AS slight evidence of the great dis
advantage to local enterprise caused
by the excessive freight rates in
vogue by public carriers, more par
ticularly railroads, we reproduce a
letter to the Gazette from the Kent
wood Gravel Company of Kentwood,
La, which reads: "As the territory
covered by your paper cannot be
reached by US on account of the
high freight rates, we will ask you
to cancel our subscription" Thus il
will be seen the over-plus railroad
rates have the effect of stiffling in.
dustry.

This section was visited by hare
rain on last Monday night ant

est precipitations We have had thi

withstood the impact. As happ!
proof of the value to this communit.
of drainage system We have through
the medium of the Lake St. Pete

mark that several hours after tn
rain there was scarcely any waite
left in town, all had been carries

Some body has wisely said, "A do

of no greater truth. 1t is not Away
the money-maker who gets rich; tn
race is generally won by the feiio'
who saves his money, and one OF tn
best ways to save is by the practic
of economy. We do not mean by tn
