Editor Collar Chronicle:
We must write you how pros
porous our country seems to be In
an around bayou De Guepe mot
Glp, as Rex spelled it,. Lands OF
any account whatever are In de-
m md and prices looking steadily
up. We want good solid white
pc ,ple in here, God fearing and
Law abiding, and such will find
hearty welcome in our midst. None
other, or those who flourish "pop"
anl "abideth with wicked ways"
shall find no comfort here.
In the edge of the pine forests
fires have been raging and came
near destroying houses and fences
belonging to residents. About one
hundred tons of grass burned up.
All to get few pine knots for the
vile wood hauler. People we're
fo,ced to call in help and fight fire
and watch by day and night. We
shall ask our police jury to enact
laws against wood burning and ire
h lnters. There are but two deer
left on the west edge of Grant
parish now, and pot hunters by
night and drivers by day have run
these till they are like unto a
creased string.
Bayou De Guepe meaning Wasp
bayou was named from the num-
bsr of wasps or yellow jackets
foand on it. Old man Jack Jones
who lives at Morantine's, cleared
la I'd in what is now upper part of
Judge Richardson's field for Dupre
forty years ago, and he states that
there was scarcely bunchy growth
Of bushes but what contained wasps,
yellow jackets or rattlesnakes.
Well, this letter is kind of sort
/ called mixed, but any man who
thinks he can nurse baby, keeI
foar dogs out of the house and kee!

a bit from the genial little address
which Robert Collyer made at the OPEN
ing of the Richard Sugden library, at
Spencer, Mass: when / came to this
new world and had not heard as yet
of that library among the green lands,
but must have books on any terms,
and the terms were hard and the good
wife watching not the dollars, but the
very cents. because they must all be
saved to furnish the little home, l can
well remember how bought book
one day for half dollar, far too big
to smuggle into the cottage, and hid It
in the bushes, watched my chances
the next day. and got it in all safe
and sound: and some days after, when
she caught me reading, and said:
Where did you get that book, my
dearf ! answered, Why, / have had
it for some time, and then she only
said. 'Indeedf for she was patient with
me and good; and then it was in what

The Rninehsmmer Case

Much interest is felt here in the re-
suit OF the case now on trial at Indian
.polis. charging William Rhinehamer.
OF Washington, this county. with having
passed counterfeit money. 7. B. Scott.
. merchant of this city. received ten
dollar bill of Walter Elliott, which
proved to be . counterfeit. Elliott,
seemed IS onished that the bill should
prove bad. - it had been received from
Nicholsons book store TOR work done,
but later claims to have sscertained that
the bill was given him by Will Rhine
hsmer. He 10 backed by the testimony
OF his father. sister and several other
parties. Numerous witnesses were in
troduced to impeach the verscity of the
Elliotts. Rhinehamer proves by mem
bers of his OWN family that he Was in
Greensboro at the time the bill WAS said
to have been passed. Several witnesses
we're examined who TESTIFIED that
Rhinehamer has long been suspected OF
being one OF gang that WAS engased in
passing spurious money. The trial will
probably occupy to day and Tomorrow,
and il 10 hard to conjecture what the
outcome will be.

earl who is direct descendant of that

him who delighted Che gallery gods

kid glove applause 1t the swell play
house. If you have any sentiment at
all, and are woae g do not aS-
Kilt skirt Of MAJ R plaid-it is q
beautiful rich plaid, red, background
crossed by dark blue and green lines
you have kilt of this and wear with
1t scarlet cloth coat, and on your
head a scarlet felt hat caught up at the
side with the blackest of blackbirds
that ever was shot or served in a pie.
You can then try and think that you
own the castle of Wemyss pronounced
Weemsl where Mary, Queen of Scots,
met and loved Darn1ey-that you own
the old house near East Wemyss, where
Macduff was born, and you can think
that in the castle sweet Mary Beaton
talked with the other Maries of their
gentle and lovely lady. You can
keep saying over to yourself those four
lines that tell their names:
Yestre'en the queen had four Maries
The nicht she'll hae but three:
There was Mary Beaton and Mary Seaton,
And Mary Carmichael and me.
If wearing the Macduff kilt would
only make the average girl as woman
ly and sweet, with as little knowledge
of things better left unknown. as had
three of these four Maries, it would
be a good idea for the United States to
buy two or three cloth factories and
devote them to the making of the rich,
warm plaid, that the women of the ma
ton might be clothed in it, and catch,
not the fever of discomfort, but the
glorious summer of sweetness, amiabil-
ity and love. Cor. Philadelphia
