LATHAM, Editor A Prop'tr. ubsoription $1.00 per year in Advance SATURDAY, AUG. 31,1901. Bristol county, Rhode smallest in the twenty, seven square miles in area while San. Bornaidine county, largest county in any of the is twenty thousand square miles in size.

The editor of The Ladies Home Journal says every young man should read a good daily newspaper. He should select that paper which stands for honesty in its news and the highest purposes in its editorial expression. One paper is sufficient: but let it be the best. The Times-Democrat of last Sunday says: "There was sold on the floor of the Board of Trade yesterday morning by S. Locke Breaux, through Broker Columbus H.

Allen, a lot of 901 sacks of Honduras rough rice for the exceptionally fine price of $5.10. This rice was sold by the National Rice Milling Company, and the price obtained is the best the market has afforded for many ears. It is, perhaps, not always as as might be supposed. A mao in Frankfort, Ky, who for some small offense, was recently treated to a coat of tar and feathers, surprised the crowd which had so clothed him by telling them that he "felt like a Representative William Allen of Ohio more generally know as "Oil Bill" Allen, once gave a definition of democracy the floor of the house, that is good enough to be pasted iu Uie hat of every democrat, and is as timely as though it had been givcD only yesterday, instead of years ago. Said Mr.Allen: "Democracy is a sentiment not be to appalled, corrupted or compromised it knows no baseuess; it cowers before danger; it oppresses no weakness.

It is the sole conservator of liberty, labor, and property. It is the sentiment of equal rights, of equal the very spirit of liberty itself invading the land." A recent writer in the Chicago Advance picks a great deal of truth into this observation: "Righteous indignation does not bring ready money in the market. A reformer should not be a man with many bills to meet." More's the pity that this is so, but it is a fact that has to be reckoned with many attempt to uplift seciety. The man who ig compelled to earn his bread and butter for himself and family by the'sweat of his brow, dependent upon the good will of those about him cannot afford to arouse their passions or their prejudices. And this is just what every reformer is surely going to do.

Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner did magnificent work for human freedom in the long war against slavery. But then, neither of them had any fear of poverty before their eyes. The fact that they had wealth enabled them to go forth and suffer the npprobiutn and coulempt of those whose self-interest wsb wrapped up in that which they fought. Reformers should be well heeled. As a prominent public man has said, "A poor man's first duty is towards his family.

The rich man owes his to the State." Mr. R. F. IIog8ett. general manager of the Louisiana and Texas long distance telephone company here has just returned from New Orleans, to which place he went to complete arrangements to place a new telephomc system throughout Louisiana.

The new telephone system will be the Long Distance Telephone of America, and will begin at once building exchanges in Crowley, Franklin and Jeanerette. The mapping out and estimates for lumber, and switch boards, for these different places will begin next week. It is the intention of the company to cover the whole state with a new system, and give to all alike a good liberal uniform service and charging no one more than another, but serving all alike. The toll rates will also be cheap and uniform. Telephones are to be placed in every place of business, and public places without rental charges, charging only wheu the telephone is used, which will be two cents for exchange limits.

The company promises to revolutionize the telephone system here in Louisiana, and being backed by a very heavy capita), they intend using their untiring efforts to give the public a first class Progress. We are in receipt of a letter th's week from Mr. Bateman Alexander, Secretary of the LaBulte-Breaux Oil and Mineral Company, of Breaux Bridge, and among other news he has the following to say about the well being bored by his company: "Our well is down 1053 feet with 12, 8 and inch pipe and nowawaiting arrival of 4-inch pipe to continue on down for a 'spouter' which we expect to strike shortly. Dr. F.

C. Z. Geologist and Oil Expert of the U. S. Geological Bureau, D.

C. and Manufacturers' Record Baltimore, was here about ten days ago and pronounced this field exceptionally good and our prospects Al, said we should strike oil very shortly, that we were drilling in silicate magnesia and lime, a sure indication of oil, would next strike sand and then cap rock. Also said that no one who held lands here had any reason to be discouraged so altogether we feel that it is only a queslion of a short time when we will develop a A sad accident occurred in New Iberia last Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. Ernest Dummiat. Widow E.

E. Renshaw, a popular woman and step-daughter of Mr. Dummiat, while entertaining a merry crowd of young people, attempted to go out of a rear door and in doing so slipped and fell headlong striking her side below the heart on some obstacle. A physician was summoned who administered a quieting opiate. At 3 o'clock next morning she was found dead in bed.

Death was caused by a broken blood vessel near the heart. Mrs. Renshaw was about 22 years old and was well liked by all. A special from the Beaumont oil fields dated Aug. 2G, says: James E.

Smith of Harrington, John McDaniel, of Slocum, lost their lives this afternoon in a vain effort to curb a wild gusher, and it was by the most pcisistent work al resuscitation that veral others were revived from asphyxiation. COURTSHIP OF MILES STANDISH. One of the must charming historical romances that has ever been written iu verse is Longfellow's '-Courtship of Miles Stamlish." Excepting his '-Evangeline," which is sad, while this is joyous, it is the author's most popular work. It will be a pleasant surprise for a great number of readers to learn that a very pretty, large type edition of it is recently published at the low price of five formerly $1.00 or more. It comes from the well-known pioneer in cheap book publishing, John R.

Alden, 442 Pearl New York. It is a fair sample of hundreds of popular classics published by him, selling at 3c. to Sc. each, some or many of which are wanted, of course, in every for instance, as Franklin's "Poor Richard's Sayings," "Farewell Address," The Declaration of Independence and U. S- Constituion.

Lins coin's "Debate with Douglas and War Time Speeches and Papers," each of which costs 3c. Send to Mr. Alden for "Courtship" or "Poor Richard." cither of which contains a full list of the classics, mcuticniug the Tribune. NECROLOGICAL. Died, in Franklin, on Thursday, August 29, 1901, at 13 p.

Mr. John M. Seitz, a native of Kuhlsheim am Werthheim, Baden, Germany, aged 03 years. The deceased was one of Franklin's oldest eitizens, and had a lio3t of friends. He leaves a wife to mourn his loss.

The remains were buried from the Catholic cbuich Friday evening at 4:30 o'clock p. ni. and where followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of friends. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved widow. Died, on Sorrel plantation, Saturday evening, Aug.

24th, 1901, Walter Prescott Marsh, the twelve-year-old son of Air. and Mrs.Will Marsh. Thefnneral services were held at the Methodist Church, in Frankliu, Sunday morniug, and the remains taken to the cemetery where sleep other loved children of the family. Walter had been sick but was apparently well ou the day of his death, but the angel of Death called him suddenly and beared his spirit to the land where pain is unknown. May the assurance that God keepeth and for all those He calls away, ever comfort those who are in deep sorrow at parting trust all to His care.

We clip the following from the Daily States of August 29th: "Friends of Miss Evelyn A. Waldo, who has a national reputation in kindargarten work, while regretting to lose her, will be pleased to hear that that accomplished lady has accepted an offer to take charge of a kindargarten school that is to be established in Frankliu, La. Miss Waldo leaves on Sunday to assume charge of her new position. "Misa Waldo has for a number of years been at the head of the kindergarten branch of the New Orleans public school system, and under her efficient and intelligent direction it has attaiued the highest state of efficiency and public usefulness. Unfortunately for the school, however.

Miss Waldo about two months ago felt impelled to tender her resignation as principal, since which time she has been carried on the unaasigned list of lhe public schools. It haa been hoped hv those familiar with the excellence of her work that Miss Waldo would be induced to resume her place at the head of the local kindergarten work. Her acceptance ot the tender from Franklin htfs, however, made the realization of the hope apparently impossible. "With the purpose of equipping herself for kindergarten work Miss Waldo has made a number of trips North, East and West, and has studied the methods in vogue in those sections. For a number of years she has been a regular attendant of the National Kindergarten conventions." SEM I-ANNU A STATEMENT.
