The Vicksburg & Greenville Packet Company continue to give excellent service with their two trice steamers, the Belle of the Bends and Annie Laurie. This line can be depended on, and they are hero year in and year out. We had no mail by the new route Tueeday morning nor Tuesday even lng. If this occurs now, what can we; ex'eect when the roads get inl their? r, gular winter condition. The road to the railroad by this route cannot be traveled. The merchants of our town have alrealdy conltineccd to lay in large slip plies of holiday goods, and as this has been a lprosperous season, there is no doubt that they will have tintter and larger stocks to select front than in msty years. l)ucks and geese are plentiful down oni the satld bar below town, and sev erl persons have been down lately, who have returned with quantities of ducks and a few geese. They tell us with decoy ducks the shoo;iug would be mucht bettor. Lee Dotson, a levee negro on the Sulent le)eo, was brought up WVednes day and placed in jail, charged with kilting another negro. Geo. King, one of the best colored men in the par ish, who is running a store in the first ward, made the errest. With every dollars' worth of goods purchased at the store of 1t. J. Burney & Co., you are given a chance to win a tine organ. This is a liberal offer, and you bshould take advantage of it. The drawing will take place the 1st day of February. 1901. The negro who held up another negro on the lake road some weeks I ago and took fifteen dollars from him. was captured by sheriff Strong of Chi cot county, Ark., last week. Deputy t sheriff Blrent went up after him last Friday, returning Sunday evening. I The Ladies' Hlome Journal for Decenmber, is one of the finest numbers , issucd by the Curtis Publishing Co. It is filled with beautiful Christmas stories, and is worth double the price asked for it. You can find the Ladies' Home Journal at Guenard's book stand. I have juot received a barge load of fine coali and am now ready to Sll you. Y1'AN'c BEI:LL. The levee contractors down at the big Salem levee, are all up with their contracts, and there is no doubt about the levee being finished by the 1st of February if we have anything like good weather. They are all going to make money too, which is the best thing about it. The Lteniphis, New Orleants and Cincinnati Packet Company have ad nounced resumption of navigation from Ctucii&,ati to hil lointas south. 'lThei steamer New South left Ciniciu iati on \Vedntesday and the steanter Buckteyo State will leave to-day. iTheeo boats bring large freights south. Notwitheta'tding that last Sunday n ight was very disagreeablc and blus try, the Methodist Church was crowd. ed to listen to the children who took part In the "Sunday School Rally." It is remnarkable how well they can go through their parts. Their instruc tors dcorve much praise for their untiring work iin maiking thettm perfect 1Rev.

It is to be hoped that this will not be the case and that she will be spared this greatest of all afflictions." This is sad Indeed. and we hope attd trust that the eyesight of this good lady will be spared to her. Congressuman Jos. E.

We have $100,000 to loan on cotton acI consigned to us, at the rate of 8 per it cent. per annum. Being believers in higher prices. we are willing to make loan-, within 20 per cent. of the actual value of cotton at time of delivery, ande hold your cotton until ordered to dis- bu pose of same Our charges for storing tod selling will be as reasonable as could be asked for, and you can feel e assured our sales will more than equal any mnade in New Orleans, M emphis or Vicksburg. We solicit a trial ship- h ment. Call on our representative, Mr. Sol Cohen, at the Lake Providence Baink, who will be pleased to make You :advances and give you any infor- ri mation you may wish. de THE WALDAUER CO. to To cure a cold in one day, take Cal Laxative Bro Quinine. All druggists I refund the money if it fails to cure; 25cts. E. W. Groves signature is on in each box. For sale at Guenard's drug store. an Labor seems to be scarce, and there is hardly a person who wants to work 1ll that cannot find plenty to do. It looks like a hard matter to fiud anyone who is loafing. Every one seems to be at work, which speaks well for the coun try. Of course there are some chronic tic loafers, who will not work, but they are scarce. They should be driven out of the community. lar The Vicksburg Post says that "Mr. L. R. Adams, Superintendent of con struction of the Cumberland Tele phone and Telegraph Company, has bo distributed poles from Smeeds station on the Y. & M. V, to Fitlers and Ben tre Lomond Landing. lie has a large force at work putting up the metalic wire that will connect Lake Provi deuce with the outside world. The cable has been shipped as is learned we by a notice to Mr. McCulloch." Or Messrs. Church & Shelton, real es- s tate agents of Greenville, have for sale the on easy terms, several plantations not an' far from Providence. They are in the to .Joe's Bayou country, and they are as agl fine and productive as a crow ever the flew over. These places were under the cultivation before the war, and they snI could be easily made ready for a crop tht the first year. You can buy any of otl the places on your own terms. Capt. an Frank Anderson, who is their agent, gi1 and is well known in our towu, will be ho here in a few days to sell these places. Our entire paper mail that was sent off Saturday morning came back to the post office at this place Tuesday morning. It is the fault of one of the Rt postmasters between Ben Lomond and Blanton on the Y. & M. V. R. R. im 'T'here is no need of such carelessness Bc as this, and we hope that Mrs. Taylor will find out who is to blame, and re- lo' port them for such negligence. This is not the first time such things have ha happened on this new mail route, 'a which is turning out to be the worst we ever had. de Martin, Phillips & Co, the commie- is sion merchants of Memphis, who are s1 anxious to do business In our parish both in the line of adsvancing to ourm planters and in purchasing cottou, co have hadl a great deal of cotton bship- lo ped them this season, and their sales pa have been satisfactory. Last week br their bustling cotton buyer, Mr. to George Ashbridge, shipped them two BI bales of long staple cotton, which this house sold for 15cts. Nothing shabort about this, and it shows what the i Memphis market can do. lo E. J. Ilainley, real estate dealer, at and dealer in lumber, sash, doors and bt bhlinds, will give prompt and personal pl attention to all matters connected with bt real estate. Those owners wishing to ii sell or rent should register their prop- n erty with him. Prompt attention be given. t Mr. and Mrs. Royal Powell were the recipieute of many handsome and costly bridal presents. We learn that everything needed to go to house keeping was also given them by their many friends, which shows their pop- t ularity with those whom they have o been raised up with. Malloda Hughes, a colored woman who runs a boarding house on Levee n t street, was up before Mayor Franklin d oin Monday for keeping a aisorderly o house. She was find, besides being u Sbound over to the District Court. 3 ' Without you pay your poll tax by i the 31st of the present mouth you will lose your right to vote in the Con gresiouasl election two years hence. t You have only a few weeks more to d avail yourself of the opportunity. The river i1 now rhltag at this ponat end we meu look fr a geood Ise dvarw. rIThe raseu above have been earli !bhi We have an important notice in our paper from Hon. J. T. McClellan, preei dent of the 5th District Leveo Board. The laws, both State and Federal pro hibits riding and driving on, or use of ;evees as roadways, and Mr. McClellan says that "the River Commission has gone so far as to pass a resolution that no federal money will be expended in localities where the law is violated." lie also says in his notice that "inspec tors of levees have been instructed to report all violators of the law for pro tection of levees to the grand jury after January 1st, 1901; this date be ing fixed to allow Police Juries time to provide necessary roads." Viola tors of this law who are caught and are brought up before his lHonor, Judge F. X. Ransdell, know before hand what the puuishmeut will be; so it is better to atcar clear of the levees and the Judge. The mail route recently established across the river at this point is prov ing a failure; and if it is proving a fail ure at the present time when the bad and disagreeable weather has just set in, what will it be lator on? We should receive two mails each day, but there has been no morning mail over this route for sometime. The evening mail Is supposed to get in at half past twelve, but it is often after Charley, the old reliable, gets in, which shows that there is no advantage over the old route. In the summer time, when the roads are good, it is much preferred; but in winter, it will be an impossibility for the carrier to make trips over this route and reach Provi dence the same day. Better start now to have our mail come by way of Dun caunby and be sure of getting it. Stetson's Nlame in a hat is a guarautee of its reliability. Our name is on everything we sell another guarantee-quality. Both names are in every Stetson flat we sell. And please remember that we carry only the best grade. Money back if not suited. Mail orders receive prompt atten tion. WARNER & SEARLES CO., Vicksburg, Miss. The setcamer D)wey has carried large cargoes of cotton to New Or leans every trip made by this boat during this season. The officers are popular wi'.h every one, and this is the boat to support. If Capt. Cummius is encouraged he will keep a boat in the trade all summer, and there will be no - more inconveniences like the business men had to contend with last summer when there was no boat for several weeks in the Bends. It should not be forgotten by the business men of New Orleans that Captain Cummins did not ask for any bonus of $500 a week from them, but only asked for their support and good will, which they guaranteed to give, and they should stick to their agreement by supporting this boat, or they may be caught in the same fix the coming summer as they were last summer, with no boat in the trade and their business being diverted to some other place. It is nothing but right uand justice that this boat should be given the support of the business houses of New Orlcats. The prettiest wedding that has taken place in our town for years was celebrated at the Episcopal Church on Wednesday evening last, when Mr. Royal Powell and Miss Mabel Golden burg were united in marriage. The impressive services of ;he Episcopal church was condtcted by Rev. Mr. Boberg. The bride never looked lovelier and the bridesmaide prettier. There were many comiments on the handsome gounds worn by the bridal party, and especially by the bride. The groom looked manly and hand some. The church was beautifully decorated by Mrs. W. N. White, who is always counted upon on such occa silouns to lend ber assistance. Mr. Powell is an industrious young man, full of push and energy, and we congratulate him upon winning such a w lovely woman as Miss Mabel for a lile- 'T partner. May their future life be as w bright and happy as now. Good luck uc to you both is the sincere wish of the m Beanner-Democrat. fe Mrs. Taylor, our accommodating postmistress, will move the poet office at either to-day or Monday, to the new c location, which will be nicely located anud convenient to everybody. It will P be quite a difference from the old a place where it has been so long located, c but it will only take a shfrt while oun til all will appreciate the change in its new location. Now that the office will be moved, we suggest to Mrs. Taylor that the letter box in front of the Gue nard drug store, where it will be of no u use as the ofilce will be right oppoeite, h that she move it to the corner of the old post office, where it will be no in convenience to her in removing the d mail and which will be a great benefit to the patrons of the office. There is l no use for the box where it is now . located. Iu spite of the cold and disagreeable night, Children's Rally at the Metho dist Church, last Sunday night, passed off very successeefully. The children, under the able management of Miss May Beard, acqouitted themselves in the most excellent manner and deliv ered their recitations very creditably. The songs were beautiful, especially when sung by a chorons of little voices. The Chsrch was filled with people of all denominations, and we believe they all went away well pleased Swith the Mttre gOrgraS.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were cool, clear, sun shiny days; but Thursday morning the rain set in, and we are very much afraid that from now on we can expet down-right murky, wintry weather, with very few pleasant days. This has been a fine season for gathering the crop, and another week will find the fields clean. S We will soon be calling on our patrons for their indebteduess to us, and we hope they will not tell us "to call again." We need the money due ( us. Remember, in a few weeks we will call on you.
