Rev. j. Engberink as chairman,
whose duty it is to decide upon
the best manner of raising funds

done at the earnest solicitation of
the pastor, who desires that steps
be at once taken along these lines.

some of the best material in the
community, and that it will adopt
and carry into execution "a sue

At the meeting of the c. X. of
A. OH last Sunday it was decided
to hold grand Fair and Bazaar
on November 10th and 18th, the
proceeds to be devoted to the
creation of relief fund for the
local branch. This is a most wor-
thy enterprise and our people re-
gardless Of faith will doubtless do
their full share to make it sue
cess. The object of the Catholic
Knights of America is not only to
give to It's members a guarantee
that when they die their families
will receive a substantial sum as
life insurance, but it teaches and
requires its members to practice
charity and help the needy.
Hence it was thought proper to
hold a fair in order to raise a
fund to be devoted to charitable
and benevolent work, and there
is no doubt but that it will prove
a success. The committee of ar
rangements mas already appointed
the necessary subcommittee to
take charge Of the work and push
it to successful close, and as
soon as the program is decided
upon the public will be advised.

Board Of Trade.

At a meeting of the Board of
Directors held Wednesday night
it was decided that, beginning
next Monday, full reports of quo
tations in the New Orleans and
Chicago markets would be- re-
ceived every day and promptly
posted on the blackboard in the
rooms of the Board. This fea-
ture will be of immense value to
our merchants and planters and
all others interested in the prices
of Southern and Western pro-
ducts, and there ought at once to
be large accessions to the men,
bership of the Board, as all menu
bers will be entitled to the valuable
information contained in these
reports free of charge. OF course,
this information will be withheld
from non-members.
The sprinkling of block or
two of our streets with Beaumont
oil, to test its efficacy in laying
the dust and in preventing the
earth from being washed into
the cutters at every rain, will be
made very soon under the super
vision of a committee appointed
for the purpose by the Board.
As we have already said, this
organization which has already
rendered signal services to the
community, promises to become of
still greater benefit in the future,
and every good citizen who can
afford to pay the small monthly
dues should promptly be en-
rolled among its membership and
help to ''push good thing along. "
Supreme Organizer w. A. Mair,
Catholic knights Of America,
spent a couple of days here the
latter part of last week, and met
the members of st. Landry
Branch, G. X. of A., at the court
house Friday night, when he was
given an enthusiastic welcome.
He made an address in his usual
happy style, congratulating the
Branch on its success and pre-
dieting that its membership would
reach one hundred before the end
of this year. He then devoted a
few minutes to discussion of the
objects and purposes of the order,
citing from government reports
to show that the Catholic Knights
was among the most substantial
financial institutions of its kind,
and paying deserved tribute to
the excellence of its charitable and
benevolent work. Several MEM
bers made brief remarks, after
which the knights repaired to La
combe',s Hotel where an excellent
supper had been prepared for
them and their distinguished
guest. Many toasts ~were pro-
posed to the success of the branch
and the health and prosperity Of
| its honored friend, and to say
that the evening was most pleas
antly spent is but giving moderate
expression to the fact. Mr.. Mail
left for Abbeville next morning
where he devoted couple of days
to.the business of the Order, and
promised to return here next
month to help increase the local
membership.

Founded a Sect
Of Chosen People

SYRACUSE. Nov. 1-Ine Rev. b.
F Weatherwax. formerly of this city.
has withdrawn from the Methodist
Episcopal Conference and has founded
n new religious denomination. which
up to date has six members.
1t is called The Little Flock" and
the headquarters are at Cortland. The
sect claim to have no creed but the
Bible and are held together by divine
love. They believe that they are q
chosen people.
Mr. Weatherwax says that the Lord
more than 1000 years ago gave through
the Prophet Daniel clear description
of the times in which we are now liv-
ing and he thinks that the times of
the blessing for which Gods people
have prayed so long Is very near at
hand, and that the wheat and the tares
vii soon be separated, and that soon
a great time OF trouble will overthrow
existing institutions and usher in
Chrlsts kingdom OF peace and equity
