HANOS0FF, TRUTH!

We would suggest to our friend
the Baton Rouge Truth. that il
should he hands off in the little set-to
between the Mentor and Advocate.
We know Capt John has disclaimed
any intention of taking a hand in the
affray, but he doesn't fail TO send
everal of his darts at the former pa.
per just the same.
We have no desire to measure
lances with Truth, but we think it
not fair to double team on the Men
tor, but to let the best man win, and
then il Truth desires to try its hand
at wallopping Mentor, why let it sail
in.

adopted without much alteration, if
any.
We have it that the name to he

Monday afternoons meeting and
showed that the interest in the new
departure was growing. Every white
citizen Of good repute is eligible to
membership, and every one in the
town should add his name to the
roster
The objects Of this organization is
to build up the town and it will be an
interesting study to note the person

repeat. Come out from under your
tight laced covering and help your
town. Come out and do mans part
Though it may seem new and awk

FRIENDSHIPS GREETING,

sessed of friends. He who can truly
say l have an earnest, sterling friend

who can occupy such a favorable DO
sition
But in what does friendship con
sist or how does one most fittingly
show his frien lship? is queery
whose solution itself cuts quite a
figure in the question.
One shows his friendship by tell
ing another how that other can be
benefited by performing certain acts.
In this case the informer is friend
to the individual. Others enter a
wider field and tell mankind how the
members of community can be as
sisted by pursuing a certain course.
These last are called public benefac-
tors. We say to the hardware trade.
