An election was held last Monday to elect a mayor, marshal and five aldermen for the town of Hlomer to serve for the next twelve months. Very little interest and no excite ment was manifested, owing to the fact that but one ticket was placed inthe field. Walter Ward was re elected mayor and Thomas Harris marshal. The aldermen are A. E. Wilder, C. O. Ferguson, J. T. Otts, J. E. Hulse and R. WI. Col lier, all menmbers of the old board except R. W. Collier, who was run instead of E. R. White, the lattcr Ideclining to serve another term. These are all competent and exper ienced men, and Homer will con tinue to have a good municipal ad ministration. That Cow Case. The celebrated cow case entitled, Ned Johnson vs. Elizabeth Reyn olds, appealed from the justice court of ward 6, has at last dragged its weary length to an end in the District Court. The heroine of the litigation was not produced in court, for the reason that the search war rant issued had not found her whereabouts. The array of law yers in this case was composed not only of the best barristers at the Homer br, but of the adjoining parishes. Sam Barkedale, Gener al Young, J. E. Moore and L. F. It. Reynolds, Esqre. representing the defense, while J. A. Dormon, W3 W. Patterson, J. W. Holbert and J. A. Richardson,. Esqrs., sp peared for the plaintiff. Supposing these eight lawyers each received a fee of ~0,00, as they no doubt did, the lItigants spent 6400.00 to get the case presented in the District Court, Add to this 6100.00 for costs in both cotrts and we have $600,00, besides the loss of time, and vexztion of spirit1 We are not able to arrive at the exact value of the burden of this litigatih, for the reason the witnesses differ as to her intrinsic worth. The plaintit, er Johnson, swore she was worth AB(sg dollars, but another wit' nes sof high repute teastled she was not worth over two-bits, for the reason that no one save Ned aJohaiio has evasrbeen able toilik Ladies' Red Jerseys and Red Silk Vests at P.

A more beautiful day never dawned for a picnic occasion than was last Saturday, and a merrier party of l~leasure.seekers never left IHomer to attend an occasion of the kind than the one which left early on the morning train for Keener's Creek, six miles this side of Gibbs. A one hour's ride car ried us to our destination; sad and desolate we felt when the train left us In the woods. Two hours and a half rewarded us, however. At 9:30 we heard the whistle; the old horse came up puffing and blowing with a car load of friends and acquaintances from Gibbs, and baskets innumer able. They also had hammocks and a croquent sett. About 10 o'clock a harp was found, and the IIomierites tripped the light fan tastic toe on nature's cn-erald-hu, ed carpet, spread beneath the heavy and luxuriant foliage of the torost, At noon we were invited to partake of the many good things from the cuisine departmnc-t. Af ter dinner our company, hearing the entrancing strains of a violin, and guitar, repaired again to the dancing ground. The manipula tors of the violin and guitar were seated on a convenient stand a:d seemed to be ready for the occa sion, as they proceeded to draw forth the swelling .strains that sent the waltzers here and there and everywhere. Trusts were in, numerable that day from our wor thy friend Mr. Bowen-oranges, bananas, soda-water, &c. &c. Our party left fior home a short time before old Sol had driven his goldlen chariot beyond the western horizon. Thanks to the good people of Gibbs for the many courtesies shown us on that memorable oc casion. N-IPuETOS. STRAYED OR STOLEN.

The criminal cases appealed from this parish, have at last been decided by the Supreme C.mrt sitting in New Orleans. The verdict of the jury and judgment of the lower court in all the cases, were aflirmed. Unless the sentence is commuted, Rob. Wright will be hung, at such a time in the near future, as the governor may designate. For the information of the public we will state, that a recent law of this state, requires that all executions of the death penalty be done in the presence of not less than five nor more than twenty persns. Of the other prisoners whose cases were appealed, 'I'on Bugg will be imprisoned at hard labor in the penetentiary for life, Bill Ware for twelve years. Julius Canty flve years and Tom Beck four years. As soon as the mr ndate of the Supreme Court is received the sheriff will convey the last named lprisoners to Baton Rouge. The writer made quite a pleas ant visit to Tulip last Saturday attending the memorial services. 'There was a large crowd of people i out to show their respect for the I hallowed dead. They had met the evening before and cleared off r the glare yard, and on Saturday r the decorating of graves and other s memorial services were held. We are glad to see that these beauti ful and impressive ceremonies are more commonly held in our parish than they formerly were. While t the exercises cannot benefit the , silent sleepers, friends and kindred of former days, yet they are calou lated, to benefit the living, for the f memory of the good deeds of the a loved and lost, has a subduing and hallowing influence over us all.
