ARTHUR SIMON, Adjutant. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. Resolutions passed by the R. E. Lee Camp 14, on the death of Leonce Sandoz, deceased Adjutant. Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to remove from the Sphere of his usefulness our beloved Comrade and zealous Adjutant of R. E. Lee Camp 14, U. C. V., Leonce Sandoz, Whereas, in Comrade Leonce San doz's untimely demise, the community loses one of its best citizens and every Veteran Confederate Soldier loses a true friend. At the early age of 17, when the tocsin of war was sounded, he was among the first to rally to his coun try's standard, and followed the for tunes of the Confederacy, until the end of the war. He was true to every relation of life. He was a man of unbending integrity, yet gentle as a woman; of dauntless courage, yet modest and retiring; he was genial, kind, charitable, generous, the very soul of honor, and above all a devoted husband, and a fond father. He cherished fondly the memory of those glorious days, and enjoyed the com panionship of old Comrades, not one of whom ever appealed to him in vain for needed help. With intense conviction, he believed our Cause was Just, and he never made apology for his course. As a citizen he was a staunch advocate of Law and Order, and with liberal public spirit, he strove to build up the moral and ma terial interest of his section. Therefore be it resolved, that the R. E. Lee Camp 14, U. C. V. deplore his loss, and extend to his grief strickeh family our heartfelt sympa thy, in this their hour'of trial and affliction, and pray that the God of Hosts will extend His protecting arm around the bereaved widow and or phans, and will ever guide and pro tect them from adversity and sorrow.

In the building at the Charity Hos pital reserved for children, known as the Milliken Memorial, there are al ways to be found several babies suf fering from the effects of eating lye. Now there is not more than half a dozen, but the nurses say there is often twice that number. Just how young children happen to "indulge" in lye was made clear by one of the surgeons. He explained that care less mothers were in the habit of leaving boxes of lye -on the -floor] where their unsuspecting children could get hold of it. Being of a white substance it appeals to their palates and whenever it is placed within their reach they invariably -ate of it. Lye poisoning, which appears to be almost as much of a children's com plaint as measles or whooping cough, often has serious results. One little tot, Newton Roberts, who says his home is in Hammond, La., had a nar row escape from death by eating a fistfull of the stuff used by his mother for cleaning flouts. He has been at the hospital for some months and strange to say his particular play mate, a child of three years, known as Odette, is suffering from the same complaint. Odette has not been out of the hosoital since she learned to walk. She is one of the "old-timers" there, and when a search was made! for her card of entrance by a report er wishing to learn her last name and her address, it was found that it had been shelved. Usually these cards are to be found on the cot of the patient, but not so with Odette. She had been there so long that the card had been put away for safe-keeping. One of the physicians in charge said that though the children suffer ing..from lye poisoning were at pres ent able to run about and play, their throats were still in a critical condi tion. The lye contracts the thorax, and for a long time after the child swallows lye this canal becomes so twisted that only liquids can be forced into the stomach. An opera tion is often necessary to straighten out the throat. "A little more care on the part of mothers in seeing that lye is not placed within the reach of their children would prevent much suffer ing and frequently save their child ren's lives," said the surgeon in charge of one of t' e children's wards in the Milliken building, where never less than one hundred little sick children are confined. New Postal Cards. Washirgtyp, $ov. .22,-Designs for the new postal cards to be issued by the government have been ap proved by Postmaster General Hitch cock. On the ordinary card the head of the late President McKinley will ap pear as now, but a much better like ness of the martyred President has been selected. On the new small card intended for index purposes and for social correspondence, a ikeness of President Lincoln will appear. The two-cent international card will bear a portrait of Gen. Grant. On one-half '4 the double, or reply postal cards wil appear a portrait of George Wa.hiniton. and on the other a likeness .4 Martha Washint; ton. The paper ta i. utsed will "take ink" better thhail the paper now em ployed. Just received a car-load of Buggies and Carriages. A nice assortment of fine light young men's buggies. Fred L.

Nov. 22.-North Louisiana farmers are helping this year to make good the very heavy shortage of the American peanut crop and at the same time recouping their own losses from the boll weevil and demonstrating the benefits of diversi fication. Ex-Senator Lewis of Ruston was in New Orleans about three weeks ago and told of the shipment of sev eral cars of goobers raised in Lincoln to Texas and Virginia. The ship ments have continued since then. Ten days ago the Vicksburg, Shreve port and Pacific handled on one day,] twelve carloads, loaded at Ruston and Foster, La., six going to Terrell. Tex as, and six going to Suffolk, Va. It marked the largest movement of pea nuts in the history of Louisiana. The successful experiment of the Lincoln farmers has made an impres sion on the farming interests of the northern section of the State, and there are indications, as has already been pointed out in the States, that a very much larger acreage will be devoted to the cultivation of pinders next year than ever before The V., S. & P. and other roads interested are doing all in their power in the matter of rates for the growers, and are preparing to encourage the in dustry, by every means in their power.
