Standard After Louisiana Field

Says the Times Democrat: The
Standard Oil Company does not seem
to be causing any of the oil men any
loss of sleep. They seem to take
philosophic view of the matter. and
declare that if the trust is bent on
coming into the field it will be IL very
difficult, if not impossible matter to
keep it out. The Standard agents are
making vigorous campaign, and are
acquiring leases on all available lands
where there are the slightest indica-
tions of oil. Big operators say that
other fields have survived the oil
trust, and that the Louisiana field is
in no danger as long as the men who
are most interested do not lose theil
nerve and give in to the STANDARD
should the company be successful il
gaining a strong foothold.

secured leases on property near LAX

Welsh Defeats Lake Charles High.

In the presence of one of the largest
crowds that has ever assembled at

their first defeat of the season to, a
visiting team by trouncing the Lake
Charles high school team to the tune

The locals were in fine condition
and clearly outclassed their opponents.
Although the boys from the Lake
played splendid ball they were little
light and it was evident from the be-
ginning of the game that it would be
one-sided contest. The visitors also
realized that Welsh had the advant-
age at every point, but faced the In
evitable gamely.
The only score made by Lake
Charles was in the eighth inning by
wild throw over the catcher.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES.
 At the semi-annual rental of pews, last Monday evening, in the Congrega- tional church, the demand for sittings was much greater than usual. It is a custom to assess each pew a certain price and then if two persons choose the same pew the highest bidder takes the seat. A little competition is the life of all trade. One pew which was assessed at S5 brought $lO, which caus- ed some amusement around the room. In Bethel Congregational churches there was most always more demand for back seats. The front seats were the last ones sold and were often not taken. Years ago in the Congrega- tional church in Monroe it used to be custom for the deacons' families to take the side seats each side of the pulpit, which had tendency to bring the hearers forward nearer the speak CT, leaving the empty seats in the rear for strangers and tardy members. In Thomaston some 30 years ago, one of the wealthy peOple'of the town, who paid the highest price for preaching chose the first seat in the rear of the room and would never take any other. In olden times the seats were dignii. ed. The influential families who paid according to what they were worth, were usually assigned pew near the pulpit. Others took seats further
 back. Poor people sat in the rear o1
 the room. Capt Daniel Hickox, 2
 Revolutionary soldier whose house i'
 now standing on Blackman avenue | came to church with his wife riding one horse.
