The phenomenal rainfall Of the last
three months, visiting as 1T did the
entire country Of the Mississippi river
and it's tributaries, breaks the record
for the last quarter OF o century. In
order that our readers may have
some idea OF it's vast volume in this
section, we will state that the lady
government observer at Alexandria
reports that the rainfall at that place
was 29.38 inches in the last three
months. That point being only IS
miles distant, we may safely say that
the rainfall at Colfax for the same
three months must have been very
near ~ feet.

To Make vitrified Brick.

Mr.. Will LaCrOix and others have
contracted for q machine to make
vitrifed brick. A company is being
formed in Coliax, which is to be CAPT.
talised at $1,000 or $4,000, to own
and operate the machine. The dirt
in the Lacroix brick yard is the best
on Red river to make vitrifed brick,
is practically inexhaustible, and there
is no question but that the enterprise
will be a paying investment from the
start. Samples Of the Colfax clay
have been thoroughly anolysed and
practically tested, and the specimen
brick turned out are of most supe-
rior hard and iron-like quality. The
machinery. we understand, will cost
nearly $1,000.

Uolfax Lyceum Entertainment.

COlfax Lyceum Entertainment.
The series OF entertainments given
by the Colfax Lyceum, in it's contract
with the Alkahest Lyceum System, OF
Atlanta, Ga, have proved to be most
charming and acceptable to all who
have patronized them. The next at
traction is billed for Thursday night,
April 2, 1908, and consists OF "Ye
Original Quaker QuartetteCo." This
attraction will undoubtedly be the
best yet. This is saying a good deal
when we think of the other entertain
ments the Lyceum has heretofore Civ
en-; but we think the description OF
the attraction fully warrants rs in
making this claim.
This quartette is the only aggrega-
ton of talent that has been criticized
for giving "too much fun" 1t con-
sists of H. L. Bassett and A. W. Cords,
soloists, and N. L. Baker, basso, and
Josef Bistline, violinist, an aggre-
CATION of superb talent. While all
are splendid recounteurs and singers,
Mr.. Baker, the basso, has q most
wonderful voice, and 10 q whole show
all to himself. This is also true o.
Bistline, the violinist. The company
not only appears in full dress, but al
30 in elegant Quaker costumes, and
introduces many novelties that nj
other company is able to present
It will be well worth the while Of ev
