Another Fruit Industry For Caddo.
As will be seen by reading The PRoG-
RESS carefully, the fruit industry IL quite
all important and imposing one in North
Louisiana. and in Bossler and Caddo
parishes especially. But that which we
refer TO in the head lines hereof is one
which refers TO dried fruit, or a combIna-
ton of drying and evaporating. This is
something new for CaddO and was put in
operation for the first time this season.
This was inaugIrated by Mr.. Sam
Stoner who enlisted in the enterprise his
father, Judge G.. w. Stoner of Jewella.
one of the most successful fruit growers
and Durserymen in Louisiana.
BY the process which Stoner & Stoner
have in operation seventy-five bushels of
peaches can be cured in a uay, and they
have been preparing them at the rate of
ifty bushels per diem this season.
We congratulate these gentlemen OH
the Inauguration of this new departure
for this section, and commend them for
their enterprise and hope they will re-
ceive all Of the encouragement from our
citizens, and the success generally they
deserve.

A Good Time.

Stewartsville Council, o. U. A. NJ, is
in prosperous and growing condition,
and it determined to celebrate its pros
perity Saturday night. A large number
of members and visitors were present,
and the doors were open also to the wives,
sisters, and sweethearts of the Council.
The long tables were set in the Council
hall, and were laden with all the delicious
viands possible to the season. About $50
persons sat down to these tables, and
showed themselves capable of apprecia-
ting the opportunity. State Installing
Delegate, W. D. Jones, of Bellaire, was
present, and made a rousing speech.
Speeches were made also by other visitors
and members. The idea of the brother
hood and its principles were set forth,
and what with the flow of oratory and
wit, and the good cheer of the tables, no
one went home unimpressed with the
vigor and high aim of the Order and
especially with the enthusiasm and good
will of Stewartsville Council.

A Good Business.

The creamery business is good one
for this section for the following as well
as other good reasons:
1. The supply of really first-class butter
and cheese has never yet equaled the de-
mand, and at profitable price, and is
not likely to while the cities increase in
population at the rate indicated by the
last census.
2. Because we possess great natural ad-
vantages over many sections of the
country. We have the best of grasses,
pure water, and soil capable of pro-
ducing food for COWS cheaply, and in
unlimited amounts.
3. We are near enough the busy throng
of workers in the factories along the Ohio
Valley, to the eastward, to always be sure
of nearby market at good prices for
all we can produce and have by our loca-
ton very decided advantage over our
western competitors in the matter of
freight.

In view Of the suggestion by Chicago
papers that the National Capital should
be located at Chicago, the following facts
about the Capitol may be of interest:
1t is TO day one of the most imposing
and impressive specimens Of public
architecture in the United States. Much
elaborate work has been done upon 1t at
various times, and, indeed, when the
British sacked Washington in 1914 the
old building was practically laid in ruin,
and had to be reconstructed. An esti
mate of the total cost of the different
operations for 100 years was recently
prepared by the Government architect.
1t is as follows: First Capitol, S2,70O,OOO;
enlargement of site, $685., 600; work after
British invasion, $4,000; new dome,
81, ,250,OO0; Senate and House wings, SS,-

Sadlv Afflicted.

In the past few days Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. &,
Mitchell, of Martins Ferry. have been
bereaved of three children. The first an
infant, and one of twins, died Friday and
was buried here Saturday. The other
child fingered until Sunday, when its
weak life went out, and it was buried
here Monday. Then the youngest boy
NJ. c. Mitchell, aged about four years,
was taken with diphtheria, and died
Tuesday afternoon. The remains were
brought here next day, every precaution
being taken to prevent the disease from
spreading, and the funeral was held at
two o'clock.
The loss of three children within four
days is certainly about as grievous an
affection as devoted parents can suffer.
The numerous friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mitchell in st. Clairsville are deeply
moved at the sorrowful circumstances,
and are filled with sympathy.

bering that the last report was not fiat

ties are that the next report they make

relates to Bellaire.
