The Centennial Celebration.
On December 14th next, one
hundred years will have passed
since the death of (ieonre Wash
ington. the hero to wlio^tfeneral
ship and good judgment the I ni
ted States largely owes her inde
Jiendenee, and who for eight years
after was the first President of the
young republie.
Many names have been added
to the ever increasing and now
long list of American heroes. Yet
among these none are more prom
inent than that of George Wash
ington.
It is true the last war has given
us Dewey, Schley, Hobson, Wheel
er, Funston and others to whom
the people turn with gratitude for
their deeds of valor; the civil war
gave the country Lee, Jackson,
Grant, Beauregard, Farragut,
Sherman, Semmes and many
others; the war of 1812 furnished
General Jackson and others, yet
the brilliancy of General Wash
ington's name has not been
dimmed, nor is it the less grate
fully remembered.
The Masonic fraternity of this
city propose to celebrate this oc
rasion with a speech and a supper.
Their reason for so doing are that
George Washington was a Mason,
and while the general public re
member him with gratitude as tin
"Father of Our Country," he is re
membered by the Masons as A
BROTHER also.
This speech will be delivered in
tin* opera house by Hon. Charles
F. Buck of New Orleans, P. G.
M., one of the brightest Masons
and one of the most brilliant ora
tors in the state, hence, we can
look forward to an intellectual
treat. To this the general public
is cordially invited, and we hope
the opera house will be filled.
The supper will be given to the
Masons and their wives, daughters,
sisters, sweethearts and friends;
each Mason will have the privilege
to invite one lady to enjoy the
feast with him. Here toasts will
be made, and general good fellow
ship will prevail. All this in
honor of the memory of Brother
George Washington. W.

The Jackson Bulletin says that
a little boy in a neighboring town
was required to write an essay the
other day. "The newspaper" was
the subject, and here is the result:
"I don't know how come news
papers to In* in world; I don't
think Hod does for he haint got
nothing to say about them, and
editors, is not in the Bible. I think
the editor is one of the missing
links you read about and stayed
in the brush till after the flood
nnd then come out and wrote the
things up and has been here ever
since. I never saw a dead tin
Our paper is a mighty poor un;
the editor goes *tbout underclothes
all winter, don't w ear no socks and
pa haint paid subscription in
more'n five years."—Ex.
We live in "free America" but
when a person reads the following,
which we take from the last issm
of the Louisiana Plantet»' Journil,
he is apt to conclude that there is
a siring to our liberty :
We have hitherto mentioned that
lUobmoud, Va., hail an ordinance,
fining |2 any person caught spitting
on the sidewalk Chariot e, N. C.
imposes a fine of #10 tor the same
offense. San Francisco is not be
hind but aho imposes a fine for
the filthy habit. A millionaire,
who had been fined, fought the or
dinance in coii.'t for a year and had
to submit to imprisonment, and pay
a fine and the costs We see that
in Helena, Moutana, the other day,
V. S. Senator Carter was arrested j
I and fined for the name offence. This
Ureal progrès*, «heu people are
.
mule to respect the comforts and
| rights of others. Some ci tie-« pro
i bibit smoking in public places or
! on the street, and that should be
lone generally.
A Missouri editor whose wife
is a strong woman's suffragist,
has sprung the follow ing base I
rhyme on his readers: "Roekabyj
baby your mamma is gone; she's j
at the circus, and will betill dawn: j
she's wore papa's trousers, and in
them looked queer. Roe k a by baby,
your mamma's a terror; she's run
three conventions declared for
three fellows; she's great on tin
straddle, way up on a vote, so
hushaby baby, your papa's the
'goat'. Rockaby baby, the dishes
are clean, papa's done scrubbing
and put on tin* beans; your mamma
is late, seems always to lag, but
heaven help papa if she comes
home with a "jag".—Webster
Signal.
Everybody along the Teehe com
plains of the dreadful odor from
the polluted water. The cause of
this is well known and we do not
believe that the sugar planteis
who use the Teelie for the escape
of skimming, etc., feel that it is
right; we believe that a majority
of the planters are w illing to make
other arrangements for the pump
ing of this bad water and refuse
matter. If a move is ever made
for the purifying of the Teelie, it
would be accomplished. By run
ning this water into the fields, it
would soon lose it poisonous effect
and bad odor.
We hope that some action will
be taken before the next season
and that we will be relieved of
this nuisance. Last week, the dead
fish in the Teelie accumulated a
round the water pipe of the Oak
Lawn mill so much, as to stop the
water from going to the mill. This
should suggest to the planters the
necessity of using their fields and
the swamps for this matter.—St
Mary Vindicator.

Crow by, La. Dec. 2 —A fire
which slatted in a mysterious man.
lier destroyed Acadia College to
night,, at 8 o'clock, involving a loss
of nearly #40,()0U. The fire depart
ment r< ached the scene shortly after
the al inn was sounded but the ool
ivge was «U uated beyond the power
hou«e, which supplies the water for
the town, so the firemen were help
less to save the building. It is be
lieved that the fire was started in
the rafters from a tine, hut this is
only theoiv.
The students were in their rooms
the

when was given and they
made a rush lo get out of the build
ing many of them not taking the
time to save any of their effects.
The fir.i fanned rapidly and soon
the tiig building and almost all of
the contents were a mass of mins.
Fortunately, there was no loss of
life, but some of the students and
professors had marrow escapes.
Acadia College was built in 1891
and was 140 leet front, 200 feet
leep and throe stories high, cost
ing about #20,000. It was first con
luctnl by Cherry Bros., debt of
#50,000 was in urred all of the pre
motirs except Me-srs. W. W. l)u
son, 11. T. ('Ink and Dr. lï. R
Lyons withdrew. These three
gentlemen conducted it ever since
without receiving any income from
their investments in the college, as
it w is benefical to the town of Cr iw

of the college a few years ag-», be
ginning with twenty six pupils, and
at the lime of the tiie there wert
300 studeuts on the rolls, wi h 100

that were in the buildii g. were

There was about *10,000 insur

Bet a Mighty Serins* Fact Just the Lui
There is a story of a tnan who was pot in
j public pillory because he couldn't pay a
i small debt. An anxious friend came to
inquire about the circumstances and then
j exclaimed argumentatively :—
" Why, goodness gracious man, they can't
put you in the pillory, just for debt ' "
•'Perhaps not,'' replied the victira of
mistaken justice ; " but here I an:.
*
— «
The seemingly impossible often comes
true. If a man should tell his friends that
he was dying of indigestion many of them
would exclaim: 'Why, man, indigestion
isn't a killing complaint!" His all-suffi
cient answer would be, "It is killing me."
The fact is, indigestion in the full sense
of the term is the most killing of all com
plaints. The worst diseases that flesh is
heir to, have their beginnings in bad diges
tion. People who die of wasting illnesses
and blood diseases are simply starved to
death because the stomach and blood-mak
ing glands don't furnish sufficient nourish
ment to feed the constitution. Most of the
people who die of consumption die because
their lungs can't get enough good blood
from the digestive organs.
When these fail to do their work and a
torpid liver allows the circulation to be
come choked up with bilious poisons, the
whole system is laid wide open to every
form of malignant and fatal malady.
People by hundreds write every day to
Dr. Pierce, at Buffalo. N. Y., declaring that
his "Golden Medical Discovery " has cured
them of some dangerous illness that the
doctors could not master : yet all that this
"Discovery" does is to enable the diges
tive and nutritive organism to make good
blood, and gives the liver power to keep it
pure. Nature does the rest.
An instance of how the digestive organ
ism affects the whole body for good or evil
is shown in the case of a little girl living in
Chase (Chase Co.), Nebraska. Her father,
Mr. C. C. Rummell, in a grateful letter to
Dr. Pierce, writes:
" In February, 1895. our little girl had .1 severe
attack of grip. It settled in her stomach, caus
ing inflammation of stomach and bowels We
had two doctors who gave up the case: the third
relieved her: but September found her helpless,
in fact a mere skeleton. Our doctor being fifteen
miles away it was almost impossible to go to
him once a week, so concluded to trv Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and • Pleas
ant Pellets.' Nine bottles cured her. Our bill
to other doctors was one hundred dollars, and
to Dr, Pierce, only nine dollars."
A new lease of life is given by this mar
velous " Discovery " to all who are victims
of mal-nutrition. It creates a vital activity
of the entire system which promotes the
elimination of poisonous disease germs and
wasted tissue and the rapid building up of
solid, muscular flesh. L,. S. Finney, Rsq.,
of Amelia, Alleghany Co., N. C., writes :
" After recovering from a spell of typhoid
fever, I was taken with a terrible cough. After
trying several remedies and all to no avail I
decided to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. After taking one lxrttle I felt greatly
relieved, and after using seven bottles I was
entirely cured. Dr. Pierce's medicine is all it is
claimed to be. It is worth its weight iu gold to
suffering humanity,"
For thirty years Dr. Pierce lias been chief
consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y.,
where he has had probably a more exten
sive and practical experience in treating
obstinate chronic diseases than any other
physician in America. His remarkable
prescriptions have an unmatched reputa
tion throughout the English - speaking
world as the most marvelously efficacious
remedies ever devised.
They are the result of genius, experience
and scientific common sense. His famous
" Favorite Prescription " for women Is
unquestionably the most perfect and suc
cessful remedy ever invented for every
form of female complaint. Taken in con
junction with the " Golden Medical Dis
covery, " the two constitute a complete and
effective course of treatment for weak, nerv
ous, overwrought women.

On le i t ing the Democratic mass

name of "Broussard" at the head
of the list, instructing their dele
gates to vote for Congressman
Bronssard for Governor. We join
hands with Iberia being intimately
acquainted with him for a score

him a whole souled, warm hearted
