The different committees have been appointed, and they have gone to work to make their parade, as it has been in previous years, a credit to their city. We happen to know a few of the fire fighters of our neighboring city, and can say with truth that a more hospitable and genial set of men never lived.

The grow inlg stalk is potted and placed on exhibi tion at the office of J. W. Fairfax, No. 148 Gravier street, where interes.ted parties many insupecs it.-[(ity Item. ONE ELECTION. Some of our exchanges are advoca ting the changing of the time of hold ing our State election, from April to 1 November, so as to have thie State 1 come off at the same time the election for Federal officers is held. We join 1 in with the move, and call the atten tion of our legislators to the necessity ef making the change. There is now no longer, a necessity for holding two elections in the State in the same year, as we have nothing more to fear from 1 Federal office holders and Returning Boards. The Constitution expressly grants the power to the legislature, and the best interests of the State require it to be exercised-at its next session. Elections are expressive in more ways than one; particularly is it disturbing and imperious to the farming interest of the country. Held as it is now in April, it is almost impossible to elicit that interest in public affairs which is absolutely necessary, for the safety and best interest of the State. By all means let us have the change. -THE editor of the Vernon Conden ser hopes that at the coming session of t the legislature, a vigorous effort will 1 be made by some of our foremost mem- t bers to replace the State University 1 to its former location before the War 1 in this Parish. As is a well known fact, a special committee was appoint- 1 ed to ascertain the least cost necessary for the repairing of the old grounds c and the building or rebuilding of suit able houses for all purposes necessary I for a first class seminary of learning. a Our contemporary very sensibly ar gues that this institution was only tem porarily removed to Baton Rouge, for a the reason that the seminary was des troyed by fire. Alexandria is the pro- I per place for this college; its being the 1 center of the State is not the only I reason why it should be removed here; others could be advanced. We know our representatives, Hons. Robt. P. Hunter and S. F. Meeker, will leave no stone unturned to have it brought back to us. Concerning this impor- 1 tant subject we would like to have the t views of North Louisiana journals. t -RussraN Sunflower Seed, by the pint, quart or gallon, for sale at the Eagle z Drug Store. ---.-=" 1P -A CORRESPONDINT of the Capi- t tolian-Advocate, discussing the road system, finds these two obje tions to the law as it now atands: 1. I think the road law as it now stands I accords too many exemptions. Principal ly among them is the preacher clause. As is well known we have a generous supply I of these professors. At every association i a goodly numbefofexhorters receive their ordination papers. These same parties agriculturists, and earn their living al- 1 most wholly by tilling the soil and use the public roads for the transportation of their products to and from market, yet that paper of ordination is thrust in the face of the overseer, with the remark that "I'se 'zempt from road work." Two years e ago when summoning the hands for duty, 1 found nine ordained preachers in my road section within a radius of 3 miles. 2. There is too much unwillingness shown by the white men to work on the road. It is either through pride or mere t thoughtlessness, but they either send a negro, a mule or stay at home. Now it is , manifest to all that the colored people see this, for 'lihe principal objection I heard on the road. was from this cause. Why don't the white folks come here, too they travel the road. Let each planter come out with a spade, take three or four i men and work with them, and we will have good roads. Moreover, it is an en couragement to the overseer to have them there, instead of riding or driving by, stopping only long enough to give an abundant supply of advice as to how he would do it if he was in your place." -,Jon Printing of every description I neatly executed at this office. Give ' us a trial. Two DrsTRiCTs.--The attorneys in I Avoyelles Parish hnve published a no tice that an act will be introduced du-i ring the coming session of the Legis lature, making Avoyelles a separate judicial district. We have two judges for the District now, and we think the public interest will be best enhanced by dividing the district into two-as' the cost to the State will be no more than at present. One great reason for I the change is that the judges ean then fix their terms of Court, so as to ac- I commodate the people, holding the same at stated periods, when farmers can best spare the time. We have a large district, entirely too large, and we see no good reason why it should not be divided. Our bar will favor the move. -THEB Police Jury of Grant Parish, by their published proceedings in the Chronicle of last week, agreed to build a judge's stand and put three windows in the South side of said building. They also appropriated $500 to bilid a bridge over the Darro on the Colfax and Alexandria road. The commit tee appointed by this body to ascer tain the financial condition of Grant Parish reported as follows: "we find the amount cf $2369,37 due and un paid by the Parish, and $2373,33 in the Treasury to pay said indebtedness. -THax Russians have an efficient way of managing runaway horses. They take a cord made into a slip noose, which is passed around the ani mal's neck. The other end is placed where the driver can easily reach it. Any attempt to run away results in tightening this card, which soon brings the animal to terms. -JoB Printing neatly executed at 'tis office. A Word to Workers. If your avocations are mentally or physically laborious, if they subject you to. exposure in inclement weather, if they confine you to the desk, and are of a nature to involve wear and tear of brain and nervous strain, you may oc casionally require some renovating ton ic. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the article for you, it stimulates the failing energies, invigorates the body and cheers the mind. It enables the sys tem to throw off the debilitating effects of undue fatigue, gives renewed vigor te the organs of digestion, arouses the 1 liver when inaetive, which it very of- i ten is with people whose pursuits are sedentary, renews the jaded appetite, and encourages healthful repose. Its ingredients are safe,ýand its credentials, which consist inr the hearty endorse ment of persons of every class of socie ty, are most convincing. Admirably is it adapted to the medical wants of workers. Southern Patents. Mr. H. N. Jenkins, Solicitor of Patents, Washington, D.

PILES are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has some affection of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At times, symptoms of indi gestion are present, flatulency, uneasi ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspiration, producing a very disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is a common attendaht. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles, yield at once to the application of Dr. Bosan quo's Pile Remedy, which acts direct ly upon the parts affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itch ing, and effecting a permanent cure.

It is decidedly the jolliest game of cards yet invented. It is called "Hearts," and was brought from New York a few weeks ago by the urbane George Taylor, a commercial tourist of re nown, who can sometimes be found around the Columbie theater. "Hearts" is some what similar to whist, except that the es sential element of the game is to have no heart left in your hand or in the tricks that you may have captured at the con elusion of the game. The cards are dealt as in whist; suit must be followed. There is no trunp-the idea of each player be ing to get rid of all the hoearts he may have and avoid being compelled to take in any of his neighbors'. In the effort to ilo this consists the funim. Any whist play er can see how easy he can be loaded up with his neighbors' hearts if he have long suits of other cards or high cards of any kind. At the conclusion of the playing the player who has been saddled with the fewest hearts rakes in the pot, which is a chip for each heart, or thirteen in all. One beauty of the game is tlhat unlike whist, one can chatter and talk, and the lreadful struggle to avoid capturing hearts leads to no end of merriment. The game of "Hearts" will soon be a craze espesially among the ladies, for whom it has very great fascination.-[Exchange. Excitement in Texas. Great excitement has been caused in the vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the remarkable recovery of Mr.'J. E. Cor ley, who was so helpless he could not turn over in bed, or raise his head everybody said he was dying of Con sumption. A triat bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery was sent him. Find ing relief he bought a large bottle and a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills; by the time he had taken two boxes of f'ills and two bottles of the Discovery he was well and had gained in flesh thirty-six pounds. Trial bottles of. this Great Discovery for Consumption free at Jacob Geiger's. -To live well economy is necessary. No matter if persons are rich or have large incomes, they should be economical, for to waste is wicked. Many people wculd be economical if they knew how, but the practice of economy is an art. Many people use expensive articles of food and dress when cheaper ones would be in every way better and more serviceable. Especially in regulating table expenses is thdir great want of economy. A little useful information concerning the quali ties of food, the amount of nutritive mat ter they contain, the wants of the human system, and the best way of cooking, would often save one-third, and, in many instances, half the expense. A wise econ omy in table expenses is favorable to health, andl thus prevents doctors' bills and conduces to strength and happiness. -[Exchange. -IT is our duty to say that "the fine Italian hand" of no legislator had anything to do with what we wrote about country editors advising the Legislature.
