T. Chisholm, 484 Dearborn Ave, Chicago, and al- t though I consulted several eminent 8 physicians who prescribed for me, I found their remedies failed to in any way relieve me, and the trou~ ble almost became chronic. After i suffering several months, I one day t concluded to tty Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhcea Re- t medy and I.beg to assure you that 3' I was most agreeably surprised to b find after taking two doses of the h rentedy that I was completely re- tl Ileved of the disease that had cost u me so much trouble and annoy ance. I am thankful to say that I have not sanred from It since." a For sale by McBride's Drugstore. ce He Should Hang. There is a move on foot to have the Governor commute the sen tence of Stanley Gordon to life im prisonment. While we do not wish to pose as clamoring for a man's life, an hum ble negro though he be, we sin cerely believe that for the good of society, as a warning to the crimi nal class, ever increasing in this parish, Stanley Gordon should ex piate his dastardly crime on the gallows. No maudlin sympathy should interfere in his behalf. The crime, self-confessed, is one of the most brutal in the history of the parish. His wife was not, accord ing to his version, unfaithful to him. He loved her dearly, so he says. The day of the murder they had a quarrel about a dress. She wanted a new calico dress, and he told her that he was not able to buy it. This angered her, and when night came she re fused to share her bed with him. He sat out on the steps until she was asleep, and then approached her bed with an ax. "The first lick," as he himself tells it, "she straightened out, only her heels and back of her head touching the bed. Then the second lick the ax flew off the handle, and I hit her about five times with the handle." After beating her head into a jelly, he tied a coat and quilts about her head to make sure that if he had failed to cause death with the ax, shewould smother to death. The mutillated body was found the next day by Mr. Richard's son. The murdered woman was lying in bed in a pool of blood with two helpless infants, besmeared with the life blood of their mother, cry ing and endeavoring to awake her. Gordon left the country ad after weeks of diligent search was 'nutnrod hw 1tarwneddQ' h Trb fessed, and was convicted to hang by a jury of his peers. .While it is admitted that he has been an exemplary prisoner, that is no feason why his sentence should be commuted. If that were the case any murderer could 1 save his neck by becoming "good" after he was caught. The showing of mercy to a man who confessed to having mashed his wife's head into a jelly while she was asleep, we feat,would have an evil effecton this already crime ridden parish. Pnecmoai. Prevented. Among the tens of thousands who have used Chamberlain's , Cough Remedy for colds and la grippe during the past few years, to our knowledge, not a single case has resulted in pneumonia. Thos. Whitfield & Co, 240 Wabash Ave., Chicago, one of the most prominent retail druggists in that city, In speaking of this, says: "We re commend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for la grippe in many cases, as it not only gives prompt and complete recovery, but also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia."

All the I inhabitants will now ship their produce by way of this great and 6 long-needed accommodation. She f will now run regularly, as was learned through the captain. r Mr. J. A. Caillouet went to Ope. I lousas Thursday. Dr. J. P. Salzan came to the Port t several times this week. b Mrs. Mizzi visited our town a Friday. t Quite a number of "young folks" b went to Washington on the War- a ren Sunday and returned in the r afternoon. They report having n spent a delightful time. 1i Dr. Taylor of this place visited t+ Opelousas during the week. to Hunters are our most frequent d visitors at this season of the year. n This place is noted for its fine a hunting and fishing grounds. The 2S last party out reported having tl killed fifty squirrels-minus ?. s There will be a grand bazaar in Port Barre, December 168, for the benefit of the Port Barre school, ai taught by Miss P. Mizzi. This is a for a good cause, and we feel sure et that the good people from around fa will gladly and liberally respond to as usual. Notes are scarce this week, as h your correspondent is quite busy. Si Port Barre can easily support a w priest and is perfectly willing to do w so. Why don't we have a station ary priest? Very seldom do you see the doors of the little chapel se opened, and services at present are so "low and solemn" that they can't be heard. X. How To Cure rorup. Mr. R. Gray, who lives near Ame nia, Duchess county, N. Y, says: "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best medicine I have ever used. It is a fine children's remedy for croup and never falls to cure." When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. This should be borne in mind and a bottle of the Cough Remedy kept at hand ready for instant use as soon as these symptoms appear. For sale by McBride's Drugstore. New Ads. We desire to call attention to the holiday advertisements appear ing in this issue of the Clarion. "The Big Store" ad. of the C. Dietlein Grocery Company is one always looked for by the people of Opelousas and surrounding coun try, because of its reputation for keeping everything fresh and up to-date in their immense line. Mr. Remi Mornhinveg, the Ope lousas Jeweler, is another of our extensive advertisers, and we may safely say that he has one of the largest stocks of jewelry, diamonds, chinaware, umbrellas, etc., in Op eloosas and Southwest Louisiana. Any one intending te buy a Xmas present will do well to call and ex amine his immense and beautiful stock before purchasing elsewhere. Don't forget his place of business: Under the Opera House. We also call the attention of our readers to the change in the adver tisement of that hustling firm, C. Hebert & Co., on Landry street, just across the bridge. If you want anything in their line it will be to t your advantage to call on them I and save money. Mrs. H. D. Lareade, the pophlar Bellevue street milliner, also has an ad in the Clarion, which will be round In another column. She has a large and well selected stock of millinery goods for the holidays, nad has also a complete line of toys, etce. CaIder. pr e~s d.s e Street Co sqlierLswler, in bte way-of an experiment, damped g several cartloads of cinders on SBellevue street, between Burr's sa as loon and the Clarion office, two at weeks ago. This was one of the ee worst pieces of street in town. At After a rain it was next to impos Id sible to cross the street. The drain. I" age is so bad and the soll so spongy that repeated work ia the way of a throwing up dirt proved futile. d But the cinders did the work. le The rains of the past few days did Ee not wash away the cinders, as pre e- dicted by some; on the contrary, the rain had the effect of mixing the cinders and earth, and now the street is as hard and firm as a turn s pike. a The experiment has proven a success, but Mr. Lawler has a penchant for the oyster shell, and he informs us that the council has promised to furnish funds suffi i ent to pave one street with shells: , That street will probably be Lan dry, from, say, Lassalle to Bercler's h dental office. While our councilmen are con sidering the street problem, they should not forget that our side walks are not the best in the State. ,, They need as much, if not more, consideration than the streets. The Irl R. Ik iks 11 Almanaue, i Whatever may be said of the f scientiflc causes upon which the Rev. Irl B. Hicks bases his yearly i a forecasts of storm and weather, r it is a remarkable fact that specific warnings of every great storm, flood, cold wave and drouth have been plainly printed in his now fa mous almanac for many years. The latest startling proof of this fact was the destruction of Galves ton,Texas, on the very day named by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 almanac, as one of disaster by storm along the gulf coast. The 1901 almanac, by far the finest, most complete and beautiful yet published, is now ready. This remarkable book of near two hundred pages, splendidly illustrated with charts and half tone engravings,goes as a premium to every subscriber who pays one dollar a year for Prof. Hicks' jour nal "Word and Works." The alma nac alone is sent prepaid for only 25c. Order from "World and Wsrks",Publishing Co, 2201 Locust street, St. Louis, Mo. Our Native Herby.

The grim angel of death has taken from our midst the Innocent young soul of Lillian, the ten-year old daughter of Mr. Joseph Las salle, on Friday, Dec. 1,900. Her loss is deeply felt by all who knew her, and her friends all join in ex pressing their heartfelt sympathy for her bereaved parents. Their lit tle angel is dead but her soul is in heaven. Weep not for her who is dead, For she sleeps and is at rest;' And the couch where she lieth Is the earth's quiet breast. H. The Best Plasser.

Lawler, at 4 p. m, December 13th, Mr. Earle Phillips and Miss Otey Prosser, both. of Barbreek, were united in the holy bonds of matri mony. They are a promising young couple, and the Clarion wishes them a long and successful life. Rev. J. B. Brock officiated. --No one can reasonably hope for good health unless his bowels move once each day.. When this is not attended to, disorders of the stomach arise, biliousness, head ache, dyspepsia and piles soon fol low. If you wish to avoid these ailments keep your bowels regular by taking Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets when required. They are so easy to take and mild and gentle n effect.
