The members of the Benevo-
lent Society found a sad case
Of destitution down in Seat
onville yesterday. A woman was
found in a house without a nurse
who had a babe born to her the
day before. There was no fuel
or fire in the house, and nothing
to eat in the larder. The wo-
man had spent two nights alone
in the cold house with her new
born babe. The Benevolent So
ciety and Supervisor o f t h e
Poor, West, are doing what they
can for the relief of the woman
and her child. Any person
having baby clothes they have
no use for can put them to good
advantage by leaving them with
the benevolent society. I h e
woman and babe should be sent
to the hospital for a couple of
weeks, and The Times will start
a fund with $3.50 for that pur-
pose. Anybody else want to
ante? If so, let us know and we
will tell you where to leave the
money. The average heather
lives in a warm country and
don't need clothes and fuel, but
here is a case where missionary
work can be done to advantage,

The members of the Students
Club and their husbands, were
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. w. M.
Carlisle and Miss Turner, at
their hospitable home last eve
ming.
Mrs. j. S. Dewell conducted
the lesson in a manner to best
develop the points under dis
cussion. The public roads of
Russia, her telegraphic and pos
tai facilities, her enormous sys-
tenn of canals, and her depart
ments of government were the
topics which furnished ma
ter.al for an intensity interes-
ting lesson. The Dokobours,
that strange fanatical people of
whom Russia has so literally
contributed to the population of
Canada, were also found an in
teresting topic for consideration
Midnight found all the COM
pany around the supper table,
telling stories, grave and gay,
and sending around the merry
jest. After refreshments there
was music and song, and not un-
TIL the morning was we'll begun
was the company broke up.
Pink and white carnations
were the floral decorations of
the home, and the dining room
was lighted by tapers tall in
candlesticks of many moulds.

a woman whose husband had lost
his life in railway accident re-
ceived from the company 1o.ooo
francs by way Of compensation
Shortly after she heard Of trave-
Ter who had lost a leg and had
been paid 20, 900 francs. The
widow at once put on her bonnet
and shawl and went to the office
OF the company. Gentlemen,
how is this?' she asked. "You
give 20, 900 francs for leg. AMI
you allowed me only ZOO
francs for the loss ofmy husband. y
MADAM" was the reply, the
reason is plain. Twenty thousand
francs won't provide him with a

There is fair probability OF
this section having a new railroad

tract to build railroad from this
point westward to Crowley.
At Crowley contra ct has been
signed, five mill tax voted, de-
pct site secured and the surveyors
are now in the field surveying the
line northward from that City. The
road will be built from Crowley to
Cypress. A few gaps will be
closed moth of the latter place when
continuous line will be formed
form Crowley to Mcneil, Ark. i,
giving connections with the T.
and p. at Cypress and with the
Cotton Belt at the northern ter
minal.
| The Progressive League has
carried on the negotiations with
Mr.. Beardsley up to the present

Died Jan. 4, 1908, at the home
Of her parents near Scott, Miss
Estelle Delhomme, aged As years,
and 6 months.
Faith is the substance of things
hoped fsr, the evidence OF things
not SEEN
Faith in God filled her entire
life. To be truthful, benevolent,
and charitable may be common
virtues. but their lustre is as the
brightness OF pure gold. Secure
in these virtues this lady stood
apart from the throng, and con-
templating the turmoilof strife and
passion from her sheltered spot,
and gazing at the patient stars
above the madness Of all the hurry
and worry Of this world, came
home to her quiet, unselfish life,
marred alone in taking leave OF her
darling old mother and father, her
soul was made supremely happy
! when the last hour came, and she
has passed to her eternal reward.
Rest in peace,
A FRIEND.
