Bitten BY a Mad Dog.

At an early hour Thursday
morning Mr.. Fred. L. Cotting-
ham, who lives on the Holland
plantation two miles southwest
of town, was bitten on the right
arm near the wrist by mad dog.
It seems that be saw a strange
dog in the yard fighting with a
small pet dog which belonged to the
family and left the house to drive
the strange dog away. When he
arrived on the scene the pet dog
was dead, and in endeavoring to
drive the other off he received a
bite on the wrist. AS soon as it
was learned that the dog was mad,
Mr.. Cottingham came in to be
treated by DR.. Shute, who imme-
diately cauterized the wound.
Through the instrumentality of
Mr.. Leonce Jacobs, the local rep
resentative of the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, that paper as
sisted in sending Mr.. Cottingham
to Baltimore, Md, for which
he left Friday morning, where he
will receive treatment at the Pas
teur Institute.
The dog died Friday morning
in horrible convulsions, showing
every indication of having hydro
phobla, and bis head was sent to
Baltimore, where it will be ex-
amined.
Sometime ago child Of Mr..
Armas Durio, who lives on the
suburbs of town was bitten by
pet dog, which the night before
had received bite from Il dog
supposed to have been mad.
The dog was shot and the child
got. alright, and it is supposed
that the dog had not had time to
develop rabies when it bit the
child. We have it on good au-
thority that there are mad dogs
in several sections of the parish.

Death of c. L. SWayze.

Shortly after 8 o'clock Monday
evening, April 6th, Caleb Lyons
Swayze died at Mobile, Ala, af-
ter an illness of one week.
Mr.. Swayze was born in this
city on February 4, 1874, and was
the son of the late Colwell G.
Swayze. His boyhood was passed
in the town of his nativity, but
later his business as telegraph
operator led him to other parts,
and at the time Of his death he
was employed as Associated Press
operator for the Mobile Daily
Item.
He was married in Mobile to
Miss Anatalize Rabby, and she
and four-year old son. Caleb G..
Jr.. survive him. He also leaves
a mother, Mrs. S. Swayze; a sis
ter, Mrs. VIII. Ray; three broth
ers, Messrs. Wilmer and Lionel
r., all of Mobile, and Mr.. c. c.
Swayze, of Alexandria.
The esteem in which he was
held by his fellow workmen, and
his noble character and fine at
talnments find eloquent testimo-
nial in the following, taken from
the Mobile Item of April 9th:
mo one better than the employees of this pa
per. where Mr. Swayze worked for years, can
appreciate what the world has lost In his
death. and the breaking Of the bond OF friend
ship and fellowship that existed between him
and them is source of infinite sorrow and re-
gret. He was an exceptionally mild and gem
tie man; and wfthal a man OF scholarly at.
tainments. He had the habits OF an earnest
student and went about his work so Quietl y
and yet so determined that he compelled the
esteem and respect of all with whom he came
in contact. When he came to die he declared
in the same quiet, earnest manner that mad
been his in health, that he had not an enemy
in the world. But few men leave such rec
ord behind them

Ladies' Band Election.

At a meeting of the Ladies
Brass Band Tuesday night per-
manent organization was effected
and the following officers elected:
Mr.. A. C. Skiles, president; Miss
Clemmie Chachere, viee-presi-
dent: Miss Irene Shute, secre-
tary, and Miss Lorena Mornhin-
veg, treasurer. Prof. r. Mayer

Under such an able instructor
and with such enthusiastic Off

ceive renewed vigor, and progress
rapidly. 1t is to be hoped that
our citizens will show their ap-
probation of our musical organi-
cations by subscribing the small
sum necessary to build pavilion
on the public square where the
Ladies Band and Prof. Mayors S
Silver lCornet Band can give con-
certs at stated periods. These
public concerts should be secured
by all means.

The oleomargarine bill will very
probably not become law. 1t is
an effort on the part of the dairy
men of the north to boycott a
harmless article that their pro-
ducts might remain unattached by
competition. While oleomarga-
rine cannot be considered a
pure butter, nevertheless the ar
ticles that 60 into it's making are
not dangerous to health and the
product being cheap it is in reach
of the poorer classes. The South
will not regret the defeat of the
bill. Cotton seed oil figures
