The crevasse at Pass a L'outre is
a. ature's effort to relieve the flood
S' of the Mississippi. It should give a
huint as to the remedy to be provid.
ed, viz, outlets.
The naming of King Oscar as
:i'fifth arbitrator is the fatal flaw in
the arbitration treaty. The other
i tfour should make their own selec
ti on.
The convicts of the state of New
York are worked in the prison
Sshops to supply the different ne
c.essities of the prison, clothing,
`bedding, tood, etc., and those not
engaged in such occupations are
put to breaking up stone for use in
Sbuildtingroads throughout the state.
As little machinery as possible is
S-used in the manulfacture of the dif.
it'ferent articles. In the weaving
oft bedding, old-fashioned looms
are used, thus doing away with
engines and other machinery used
iln the outside factories. This we
4. believe is a step, and a long one ill
the right direction. Convicts should
be made to earn their living while
in prison, anlld ally surplus should
be used in puttinlg the state build.

The Public Invited.
It seems to bean impression current
'0mong many, that the great meet
ing of the State Agricultural So.
ciety, ait Baton Rouge on Jan. 27,
28 and 29th is to be "a delegate
conveat)lln,"' alnd only tle delegates
Sappointedl ,y some known au.
"thority of ate or parish will be
expected to participate.
To correct this impression it is
only necessary to quote the i.n
gauge of the address to the citizens
ot the state, published ill the last
issue of this paper, signed by tilhe
Presldent of tlhe Society, John Dy.
anond, as follows: "The public, par
ticularly the farmers anld planters of
the a(ljoillig parishies, are ear
itestly invited to attend all sessioIns
of this society. Ladies are cor
dially invited" etc.
Were it simply a delegate con
ventiont, no doubt it would do a
vast aluount of good, but thile good
that it coutld so do, is not comnpara
bie to that whlich it mighlt do, it the
occasion should be seized with avid
ity by hundreds ot our farmers,
planters, mInerclhanlts andi profess
ional lmenll, all, all in fact, who have
the ilmprovemenlelt and development
of thle State, at heart. If these
classes would attelnd and partici.
]pat, tlhe imeeting could be made a
red hot uniion and fusion of the
thoughts and energies of the most
progressive mene ofthe State. How
much good would be accomplished
further by welding those thoughts
into a fixed resolve to force Louisi
" ana into her rightful place among
tile sisterhood of states, the place
assignled her by Nature and by
Nature's God.
First among the states iu fertility
of soil; first in climfate; anid with
every elemenllt within hler borders
to constitute her the queen of the
group;-the wealthiest and most
prosperous of all-she now lags
far, far behllind very many of her
sisters, a handmaiden waiting at
their foot-stool for colitributions to
aid her every enterprise whenl site
should be the dispeuser of more va
Sried and abundant products than
all combined, and the recipient of
the wealth ot her sister states in re
turn for her produce and hlandiwork.
These conlsiderations `should fire
Sour energies. Let us wake up, get
together, exchange ideas, and
make this meeting the starting of
a new era in the development of

Audubon.
With the above title, a beaut:fel
little book comes to our table, bear
ing the compliments of the -uthor,
Mrs. Mary Fluker Bradford. The
binding simulates a bit of wood.
green bark, and would have de
lighted the heart of the naturniist
himself, As suggestive is it of the
bosky shades lie loved so well.
But the special charm of Mrs. Jhl ad
ford's booklet is between the covers
for trenchlantly, prettily and well
has her facile pen sketched the
story of the great ornithologist.
She treats the subject as one who
feels its char':m, and thus carries ar the
reader along with her through the
early struggles of his unalppreciated
genius to the full culmnination ot his
fame in later years. Louit,iana is
proud of Audubon. But even more
so should West Feliciana assert her
claim upon him, because it was
here that he passed one of the
opening and trying stages of his
career. Our woods have telt his
presence, and in many .of the old
pla!ntatioit homes was he entertain.
ed, all unconscious as the hosts
were, that they had one among
them whom Fame would not wil
lingly let die. All this and more
does Mrs. Bradford relate with the
fond touch ot one who loves the
tradition or the fact for its own
sake. The book is an inspiring one
and is most timely just now as Jan.
29, 1901 will be the fiftieth anniiver
sary of the death of Audubon, and it
is suggested to have a monument to
his memory ready to unveil on that
(late in the park that bears his
name in tilht, city of New Orleamns.
Mris. Bradford has generously
dedicated the proceeds of her dain
ty book to form the nucleus of such
a fuiid; though if her book, which is
reaching its second editioii, receives
the appreciatioin it deserves, it
might easily accomplish the entire
work. Let West Feliciana do her
share. The books are on sale at
Mulifiord's drug store, St. Francis
ville for $1.00 each.
It may be said in passing that
the author hecrselt deserves though
sl;e does not ask, some recognition
from our people, being a inative of
East Feliciana, but so near our bo,"
tier line that she seems indeed one
of us, and one whose interest in the
great Audubon is properly our ownl
also.
The above notice lhas been delayed 'far
two weeks on account of the crowded
state of our colmums.

Nervous
People often wonder why their nerves are
so weak; why they get tired so easily;
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and nervous
Dyspepsia
The explanation is simple. It is found in
that impure blood which is contin
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse.
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
