Last Friday evening while Mr.. Zaok
Harding was hunting down along the
river near the old Conn house he
came across the body of a colored
woman at the edge of the water. He
came to town immediate and notified
Justice ID. w. GiImsur, who went
down and made an investigation. He
Informed us that there was nothing 10
indicate that she had been murdered,
and that he thought she had been 10
the water two or three days. At first
it was thought that it was "crazy Lou !"
half demented colored woman who
has been in town for sometime, but the
cOlored people who saw the corpse,
said that it was not her. No one
could identify the drowned woman,
and that she was unknown to them.
She could not have fioated down the
river for the reason that there is no
water running through the chute.

There are several pretty good jokes
being told GU some of the hunting
party who were out deer hunting last
week. One of the crowd was put on
stand and told not to make any noise
and to be perfectly quiet, and if there
were any deer around they would
surely cross at that particular part of
the road. In few hours the party
who were following the dogs rode up,
aud were very much surprised to find
their friend on the "stand" sitting by
a big log fire. 1t was a little too
airish for the gentleman and he bad
to build fire to keep warm. Anoth-
er of the party who was put on anoth-
err stand, wasn't satisfied to risk his
luck with only one gun, so he packed
along two, and when the followers of
the bounds" rode up 10 where he was
to be, ready and Wanting
for Mr.. Deer TO cross the road go as to
bring him down with well directed
shot. he had both guns leauing against
a tree and was walking up aud down
the road trying to keep from freezing.
These are only two incidents Of the
big hunt, but there are several others,
so the boys say.

The Cumberland Telephone Co.,
soon to 60 in to business in our town,
seems to be a grinding monopoly. aud
there is some pretty rough things said
about it wherever it is in operation.
The Rayne Ua) Signal says that cit
has no soul or anything else to brsg
about" 1t complains that this famous
company that is winning reputation
all over the State as extortionists is
treating them stability besides advanc-
ing their rate 25 per cent. Then
late telegram from Alexandria says
that "the people repent already about
the recent bargain with the Cumber-
land Telephone Company to whom
the local company sold out few
weeks ago, as they have already gone
up in prices for the private phones
with two or three on one line from
$3.50 to So and the arrangements are
not what were promised. There is so
much dissatisfaction that the Cumber-
land agents located there are willing
to give up the game aud leave as they
feel powerless to act" We hope when
the Cumberland gets in working order
here that we will here no complaints
as the above, aud that 1t will treat the |
people right.

Marshal Peck had a great deal of
trouble last Friday in finding persons
who would bury Davis, the mau who
died with smallpox. 1t looked for
time that he would not be able to get
any one, and when he struck ND
against q mau who had already the
disease and had made the request, the
first thing that be was hit with, was
"what yer guine to pay me" Some
wanted as high as $500. Ii cost the
town nearly $500 to have Davis
buried. 1t is rather heavy on the
town for persons TO come from the
country who have smallpox, aud who
have to be looked after at the expense
of the town.

The Police Jury has let the contract
for the erection of steel bridge
across Tensas, this part of the work to
cost 1926, which does not include
great great deal of dirt work that will
have to be done. A large amount of
money 10 expended every year on the
old wooden bridge, and with an iron
bridge all this kind of expense will be
done away with. In few years
enough of money is spent in patching
up the old structure that would pay
for a fret class bridge. The Police
Jury is doing the right thing.
