news be known that the ten long
years Of weary struggles by our dear
and faithful christian friend, sister
A. L. Sanders, has at last been re-
allied. The Lord has heard her
prayers and blessed her labors. For
ten years she has been striving all
alone, aud her efforts have az last
been crowned with success by the
erection Of q beautiful little church
in Moseley Hall. We feel that she
has not put her light under a busbol
but has placed it on a hill and that
the verdict Of our Lord to her will
be, "well done, thou good snd
faithful servant"

little country village and much Joy

The Rice Industry.

The rice industry of to-day is a
matter of no little importance to
our Southwest Louisiana friends, for
it is a big paying investment and is
recognized The world over. This be-
ing the case, why the adoption OF
this agriculture is not more ex,
tensive throughout this section we
canno: understand.
The Parish has number of plan
tations experimenting with the pro-
duct, and from what information we
can CLEAN, have made a success OF
their efforts and with this krOwl-
edge We would think it wise idea
if the whole parish would, to an ex-
tent, embark into the production.
Irrigation is the main matter of
Importance, this is easily gotten,
and all that is necessary is for a
start to be made.

drusged. Miss Frank Chapman,
Mr.. Clements and the entire cast
handled their parts in careful
and intelligent way. The special

effect, illustrated songs by Miss
Mile Corbin Whyte. Everything
