Delightful weather this week. There is very little sickness now. Window glass of all sizes at F. T T. Taylor & Son's. Bed locks to fit any bedstead, {or sale at Mr. Tisdale's. There is less money in circula tion now than we ever heard of be fore. Money can be had of Handy on 8 ight draft, by deducting a small commission 011 same. Cotton seed—McGowen's Va rie tr—at Handy's.

The late> heavy rains, to some ex tent, checked the ravages of the voracious cut-worms. Except on low lands they have ceased their work of destruction. We ore informed on good au thority that Handy has sold five baggies to this date since first April and »till has a few bargains left. F. T. Taylor & Son have a large stock of fresh, pure drugs. ?>fr.

Handy is still in the Insurance business, and the companies he represents are well known in New Orleans, ami pay losses promptly. A general complaint is the scarc ity of cotton seed. Many farmers, whose cotton was destroyed by the worms, are trumped for seed to re plant. It's a back-handed business to pay a dollar a bushel for cotton seed at the present price of the sta ple. But then the cotton must be planted, for corn is never worth a cuss in this country. Flour, bacon, sugar, coffee, rice, etc.. at Leopold's. Go und see him if you need any of these articles.

We know of no pleasanter place to spend an hour about mid-day than at the "mammoth grocery store," whose proprietor is polite, liberal, talkative, and head over heels in love. Too much love hath driven away his desires for food, he liveth only on the sweet in spirations of Cupid. Happy ! oh, ®&kes alive ! And who blames him ! ® ur advice to the young men of the parish is to go Vest, and the balance of the suit, at Handy" He has the largest and most pete stock clothing in town. For fine whiskey, brandy, or g° to F. T. Taylor & Sou's. s. com THF PUBLIC DEBATE. The question of prohibition was discussed by the Bastrop Literary Society last Tuesday evening at the court house. A very large and intelligent au dience was present. The elite of the town honored the Society with their presence and attention. "Fair women and brave men" from dif ferent portions of the parish com posed the brilliant and fashionable crowd that met to hear the ques tion, "Should the vending of in toxicating liquor as a beverage be prohibited by law?" debated. The arguments advanced were read from manuscript by most of the disputants, aiul some of the speech es showed that great labor and thought had been devoted to them. The position taken by the affirma tive (a'id we say it without any re flection whatever) was one that all temperance lecturers bank on—the horrors, and terrors, and sorrows, and woes of drunkenness. They Btartfd out with the assertion that too imicli whiskey will make any man drunk—we suppose it would have the same effect on any wo man—and they stuck to it like grim deatli to a dead dog. They said that when men drink too much they become brutes ; they neglect and abuse their weeping wives and ragged children ; they squander their hard-earned shillings and fill the jails and prisons of the country ; they continue to drink until their outraged stomachs rebel and the poor, miserable wretches do like other men—lie down and die. The affirmative actually used such ar gument as that to prove that a pro hibition law would be respected in this country. They said more than that—lots more—and, in the opin ion of the very learned gentlemen who were selected to decide the question, they said enough to gain it. We gracefully bow to the decis ion of the distinguished commit tee, and henoÄorth we shall be on the side of the prohibitionists— whether there is any sense in our position or not. We propose to "jine the band" and we want a prohibition law at once—a long, large prohibition law, and then the country will be saved. Wood News For Furniture Buyers. Oehlber & Goldman have just re ceived a lot of fine bureaus, wash stands, sofas, walnut bedsteads, rocking chairs, etc. They will make it an object to sell them for less than ever offered heretofore. Give them a trial. A trial package of " BLACK-DRAUGHT " free of charge at J. A. MOORE'S. Mr. A. F. Bolton, a gentleman who brings with him an excellent reputation as a photographer, has located in our town. His place of business is in the rooms formerly occupied by the Clarion. We have seen some specimens of Mr. Bol ton's work, and we think he under stands his business. He has all the improvements and tells us that he seldom experiences any trouble in securing good pictures of the most restless children. His prices are reasonable, and those who want photographs, gems, ferrotypes, old pictuies enlarged, picture frames, etc., etc., are invited to visit Mr. Bolton's Gallery at once, which is now ready for business, ©on't stop for cloudy weather. "WINE Of CARDUI " for Ladies only. For sale by J. A. MOORE. Coal oil at F. T. Taylor & Son's. Messrs. T. G. Brigham and Ed. Higginbotham returned home last Sunday from Alabama where they had been to receive a legacy left them by a deceased relative.

Gnat oil for sale Store. at City Drug GOOD MASSEES. No trait.in the human character is more essential to happiness and friendship than good manners. Young people especially should as siduously cultivate the very best manners. In all places and under all circumstances they should be polite, genteel and affable. The lack of these qualities has kept many a youth from rising in the world. The possession and culti vation of them have been the step ping stones from which many a youth has ascended to fame, honor and success in life. It costs very little to be polite and even the most humble human being has a right that demands of his fellow man po liteness. It has been said that the American people are the most rig idly polite to ladies of any people on the globe, and that is one reason whv our ladies are the tenderest and most affectionate women in the world. It is impossible to be strictly genteel toward any person without winning that person's re gard. A well-behaved youth ii always esteemed and has à host of friends. But how despisable and con temptible is he who lacks good manners ? We know some boys in this town who have' no more gen tility about them than if they had been raised among heathens. They attend churches and other public places, it seems, with the avowed purpose of misbehaving. They talk, and snigger, and wriggle, and twitter while the preacher looks up on them with pitying contempt, and well-bred people labor to shun their presenc#. If the person who mis behaves in church could just, for one moment, see himself as others see him, we think he would be pom pletelv disgusted. His ill-manners are despised by all well-raised peo ple, and those who cajole him in his vulgar behavior are no better than himself. Let the young peo ple of this town take notice of the manners of their associates at church next Sunday. They may see things that are very ugly—and they may not. » BLACK-DRAUGHT " makes chills and fever impossible. For sale by J. A. MOORE. Steve Jackson, one of the con victs of the street chain gang, was taken by the Marshal last Mon day morning and thoroughly "dressed" for various misdemean ors. Since then he has been spend ing his nights all alone in jail. But by talking too much he has dis closed some facts thai opened the eyes of several of our dry goods men. It seems that Steve and sev end vagrant "town niggers" have been in "cahoot" for some time stealing goods from the stores in town. Steve, who 'has the reputation of being the sleekest rogues in the South, has been in the habit for some time of "taking in the town" after his day's work has been done, ostensibly for the purpose of trading. He would en ter a store, price one article and steal one or a dozen others. It ap pears now that his ill-gotten goods were placed in the hands of other darkies for safe-keeping. We say by talking too much the other night he opened the secret of his thiev ing and set a detective after his partners. Tuesdey evening Bob Pierce was arrested and lodged in jail. He refuses to give any in formation as to his guilt, and lies in jail now. The clan is in a fair way to be broken up, but it were well for merchants to watch "loaf ing town niggers. " Beauty, health, and happiness for ladies in "WINE OF CARDUI." For sale by J. A. MOORE. The name of Capt. J. C.

S ep25 JAMES CAMPBELL THE BEST REMEDY FOB CHERRY Diseases of tlie Tîiroat and Lus. iÄVITD ' Q In diseases of the III tno pulmonary organs a safe and reliable remedy is inval uable. A t e b 's Cherry Pectoral is such a remedy. It is a scientific combination of the medicinal princi ples and curative virtues of the finest drugs, chemically united, of such power as to insnro 0, the greatest possi „.1 ble efficiency, and nr/tifAT>nr uniformity of re ttiv/ i vKnL, suits. It strikes at the foundation of all pulmonary diseases, affording prompt relief and rapid cures, and is adapted to patients of any age or either sex. Being very palatable, the ■youngest children take it readily. In ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, lntlnenza, Clergyman's Sore T liront, Asthma, Croup, and Catarrh, the effects of Ayer's Ciiekky peotoral are magical, and multitudes are annually preserved from serious ill ness by its timely and faithful use. It should be kept at hand in every house hold for the protection it affords in sud den attacks. In Whooping-cough and Consumption there is no other remedy so efficacious, soothing, and helpful. Low prices are inducements to try some of the many mixtures or syrups, made of cheap and ineffective ingredi ents, now offered, which, as they con tain no curative qualities, can afford only temporary relief, and are sure to disappoint the patient. Diseases of the throat and lungs demand activn and effective treatment; and it is dangerous experimenting with unknown and cheap medicines, from the great liability that these diseases may, while so. trifled with, become deeply seated or incurable. Use Ayer's Cherry Pectoral , and you may confidently expect the best results. It is of acknowledged curative power, and is as cheap as its careful preparation and fine ingredients will allow. Emi nent physicians, knowing its composi tion, prescribe it. The test of half a century has proven its certainty to cure all pulmonary complaints not already beyond the reach of human aid.
