Waverly, Texas, writes: 'Of a
morning, when first rising, I
often find. a troublesome collec
tion of phlegm, which produces
a cough, -and is .very hard to
dislodge; but a small quantity of
Ballard's Horehound Syrupl will
at once dislodge it, and the
trouble is over. I know of no
medicine that is equal to it, and
it is so pleasant to take. I can
most cordially recommend it to
all persons, needing a medicine
for throat or lung troubles."

The Remnoval -of tihe Railroad
Stops.
Again has the rumor of the
threatened removal of the rail
road shops from Lafayette to
some other town, gained cur
rency. Envious towns have con
tinuously for tne last ten years
spread such rumors in the hope
of retarding the growth of La
fayette, and though it might be
better to ignore the unfounded
statements emanating from our
less fortunate neighbors, defi
nite steps should be taken to dis
credit them finally.
The local shops are being im
proved in every way, and no
reason exists for the alleged re
moval.
New Iberia for a long time
systematically gave credence to
the old hoax. Now Franklin, in
some mysterious manner, has
given forth to the world the.
startling announcement, as if
the affairs of the Atlantic System:
were transacted in St. Mary's
parochial seat.

It Will Never Win.
Tihe A'Ivocate.
Some smart politician has
passed the word around through
the Jastremski crowd, all over
the State, to. claim everything
ind get up a hurrah on all sub
jects and all occasions. The c
'drummer" and the "laboring
man" have grown to be regular
press correspondents. All their C
writings have the same jingle. i
They bear precisely the same P
ear-marks. They never chirp
except to circulate some terrible
"whopper" and they are parti
cular to generalize and always
show their sincerity by signing
a fictitious name. This is con
venient, to say the least of it, for h
it gives the opposition press bu
reau the chance to work over g
time.
They have Caddo "sewed up," c
Bossier is in the bag, Pointe d
Coupee, East and West Baton
Rouge, all the Florida parishes, C
Calcasieu, Assumption, Ascen
sion and every other parish that
has any considerable vote: They
low have Wilkinson county,C
Mississippi and Turkey county,
Arkansas, and two large counties
n Texas, absolutely solid and ii
sure. It is really absurd and t,
lisgusting. It has grown so i
systematic as to disclose the fact
that the order cames from head
quarters, "claim everything,"
"beat the bushes," "yell and
holler," "useyour lungs," "swell
the figures," '"never mind the
facts." It was started with the
emphatic declaration, "I will
win this election."
This was the key note and it
has been played on the same
string without ceasing. It will
affect neither any body nor any
thing. The people are with
Judge Blanchard. They know
he will give one')of the cleanest,
inest, grandest administrations
n the history of the State. The
ittle dab of true democrats,
backed and supported by the
lorde of disgruntled and de
feated ex-office holders, popul
sts, independents and republi
:ans, cannot. dictate to nor
dominate the domocratic party
n Louisia:a.
Pierce and Jefferson streets
present an animated appear
ance. The removal of frame
houses, the erection of the Cen
tury Club, Doucet and Kahn
buildings, and the rapid pro
gress made in the construction
of the cement walk, give it ian
air of activity seldom before
even in Lafayette.
Appropriate Xmas exercises
were held, during the week at
the primary and high schools
and the Mt. Carmel Convent
which large numbers of inter
ested patrons attended.
Died.
Mildred Chargois, the infant
child of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin
Chargois, died at the home of her
parents Thursday morning, and
was buried in the Catholic cem
etery Thursday afternoon after
funeral services were held
in St. John's Catholic church.
A Good Show.
The McDonald Stock Co.,
which has been playing at Falk's
opera-honse all this week will

lar prices, 23, 35 and 30 cents.
