THROUGHOUT LOUISIANA.
ithe Governor's Mess.ge..
Gov. Foster, in his recent message to
the general assembly, reviewed the
state finances,
He pointed out the fact that the assesimnent
toll of 1893 shows an itcreas;e over the prio e:'
ing year of $15.73,030,. due partly to a moer
thorough execution of the laws. cliser assess
ment of personal property and the gra'lual en
hancement of v.:alues. It is also pointed out
that the col:ls tion of taxes has been
very close, so that the st:tIe now actually col
lects a larder proportion of her proper r.:venue
than ever before.
With the surplus to the cre-dit of the interest
fund, past due coupons and state warrants of
1885 and I1F6 to the amon'l:t of F ;l.R.,3 we.re re
tired at a cost to the state of $118,)3O9. In alli
tion there have eenl purchliaed ana retired
$512.000 of constitutional an I consolidated
bonds of the state at a cost of $1.0,931. There
has therefore been retire:t during the year
$1.313,199 of th state's debt at a cost of 6931,.
790.
The governor announces that after all these
past due obligations and purchbased bonds are
paid for there will still remain to the credit of
the state, when all taxes of 1993: are collected,
$:00,0hX. Ifad no Ionds or past due coupons
been purchased by the state there would now
exist a surplus fund of more than $1.100,000,
with every reason to expect that the fund at the
end of 1894 would have been augmented by at
least $400.003.
The governor also devoted a portion of his
message to the consideration of the position of
the Baby bond debt, the status of which, ow
ing to the Irregularities of ex-State Treasurer
Burke, has long been considered an unknown
quantity. There are legally outstanding of
these bonds $1,281,472. The governor declares
that there is ample evidence in the possession
of the auditor and treasurer to show whi:h arm
the legal bonds, and that these offcials can
readily identify all fraudulent or illegally
issued bonds.
The governor, in conclusion, recommend
that the legislature deal with this su',ject of
the Baby bonds "'in a spirit and justice to the
state and to the holders of these obligations."

KENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, of ROXBURY, MASS,,
Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down to a common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is always experienced from the
first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted
when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts be
ing stopped, and always disappears in a
week after taking it. Read the label.
.f the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed
time. Sold by all Druggists.

CURRENCY is a rich dark bay with full black points, stands 153 bands
high, and is acknowledged by horsemen to be the handsomest horse ever brough -
to this section. He is a horse of superior action, and magnificent style, perfect
ly gentle and level-headed, and is one of a family who are not only race horses'
themselves, but are the producers of race horses of the first water. His renuta-.
tion is too well established in this section to need more than a passing notiee.
~'E.~E d.MId -In eonsideratiop of the shrinkage in values of all classes,
the scarcity of money, and the very liberal patronage formerly extended my
horse, I have decided to make the charges as follows:
FOR SEASON........................... .................82.00.
PARTIES BREEDING TWO OR MORE MARES, each.... 20.00.
Mares will be fed on grain twice per day at $1l.2 per week, and pastured at
50 cents per week. Not responsible for escapes or accidents.
Imported direct from Spain, will make the Season on the same
farm at the very low fee of TEN DOLLARS.
TASCON is a Jack of superior form and size, being nearly 15 hands high,
standard measure, and presents extra advantages to those desirous of raising a
good class of mules. feb-3-94-td
