With the new year WV. J. Taylor has en
larged his business. In addition to the b
sale of choice groceries of all kinds at low
prices for cash, be mak.e a specialty of a
buying dry hidel at the highest market
prie. 1
We call attention to the adverttemnent
of A. McCranie. His debtors would do I
well to s,-ttle at as early late as posille as
the oldl business must be closed ont. Pre
vious notices of Mr. McCranie in the Guar
dian ni-ant business. Settlements must
be male. Call at Gladuey's store and
close up your indebteduess.
Read the advertisement of Johnston &
nlutson. Nevcr agate may yon have an
opportunity of procaring the valnable ser
.ices of these accomplished gentlememn.
The most beautiful photographs ever seen
ino Homer are those taken by Mr. Knutson.
They will close ot the 20th lust.
Read advertisement of Tom Kinder, the i
moast reliable market man we have had in
Homer for years. The superabundance of
adipose tissue which covers the frame of
the GARDtaer'e editor is to be attributed
to his patronage of Trom's stall at the mar.
ket house.
Prof. W. J. Leslie infornms us that a beg
killed by J. D. Pennington near Arizona
weighed 576 ponnds net. Ttie deceerard
was two years and fve months oul.
Horse and mule drivers shou;d take no
tice of the fact that Col. MeMiten testiies ,
that his advertisement in the (;uardian huba
been of tret Uadvantage iti tuin.
The investigaitons of ie parish attorney
sad presented by him t to th Ipolice jury on
Monday last disil soad the startling f'wt
that over 80,000 ac'rew of lalid in this par
ish have not bos assess. l for years. Ar
rangliermenta have beeCn made" toe obviatee
this trotcle in the future and to cllect
the taxes for yeaurs past.
For the first time siccee their appouit
ment the new lolice jnrcrs were all tiogeth
er i:n a cometing of that Ilcsy. Mr. ('hailsll.

no changesc were madie. The, cirua Ilccineiictr
are all good menl and will rtllcdecr tIheir con
stituents valuable service in all their leg
salation.
Our goalo friend Dr. Potti has become
one of the noble army of paragraphists.
In the "All Sorts" eolmin of tke- New Or
leans Times the MainstAeld Reporter is crel
ited with brilliant sayiilngs. We doll our
hat to ther, Icletor, in r.verencc m nle of
the few, the iwmortal few, who were not
born to die.
A fair correspondent signs her niame In.
fel, and wants to know if we would like
letters for publication on the fashious; or
if we refuse that tempting offer, how meuch
will we give for writinlg stories one year.
The fact that Miss lufedia spells Guardian
with a small g -frces us for the present to
decliue, what woulld otherwise be, a tempt.
ing proposition. liad our correapondent
Auraished her same we wonld have kept
silent about the letter g business.
We respectfully call the attention of the
varioue consltablt throughlnot the parish
to the annexed sections of the priuting law
of the state of La. It will be seen that all
jnudieial sales must be advertiledl in the
perish paper. It will perhaps save much
trouble if eonstables would heed this law.
We hear of seveal sales advertiedl by
poesting written notices. Such advertise
meant will net do It is but just to the
partie oncerned thai estensive notice be
riven of the ale of prioerty, so that s
luge a price as poible may be rsceived.
