Citizens of Pleasant Hill
Had an Enjoyable
Fourth O. July.
KILLED OVER
400 SQUIRRELS.
Speeches We're Made and, Alto
getheP, the Affair was an
Enjoyable One.

The citizens of the Pleasant
Hill community in ward two had
another one of their annual pic
mics on Dugdemonia near DIR. A.
P. Collins place on the Fourth
and to say that they had big
time hardly describes the event.
The good people of the commun-<
ity had prepared all kinds of cat
ables for the occasion and to help
supply fresh meat for the dinner
the men and boys of the commu-
nifty started out early in the morn
ing to fishing and hunting. By
time for dinner they all had ar
rived at the appointed place with
over 200 squirrels. and an abun-
dance of fish. The ladies took
charge of affairs and spread one
of the best dinners imaginable
and there was plenty for the more
than 800 people present.
After the dinner had been en-
joyed things were arranged for
some speeches. Prof. Founder,
who has charge of the Pleasant
Hill school, made splendid, in
structive and elevating speech on
the opportunities of the day for
the young people and the pros
poets for educational progress
now before our people, and urged
the young men and women to push
toward to greater things in life by
grasping the opportunities now
before them. Prof. Founder is
an educated man and is doing
noble work for the people of the
Pleasant Hill school. He is
man whose presence will be felt
for good in any community and
the people of that section are to
be congratulated on securing the
services of such man, in their
school.
Assessor Crawford was present
and was called on to address the
audience. He made q talk on the
proposed five mills tax over the
parish for educational purposes,
as proposed by those most inter-
ested in educational work, aud his
talk was we'll received. After the
speaking was over q petition was
signed by every tax payer present
asking the police jury to order an
election throughout the parish to
test the will of the taxpayers on
the proposition.
Altogether the day was one of
pleasure and profit to all who at
tended.

JUDGE j. 7. WATKINS
VISITS WINFIELD.
NEW POLICE JURY
IN QUARTERLY SESSION.
A SPLENDID DINNER.
Son Of the South Attended
One on the Fourth.

GuiCOr 1ne Sentlnel:
The Fourth has come and gone
and all its joys and pleasures now
60 to make history for the rising
generations, and part of it pleas
ures we will now relate:
About 150 people, great and
small, gathered under the shade
of some nice beech trees on the
branch near Mr.. Harry Eagles
place four miles south from
Winfield and put baskets and
buckets together, all we'll filled
with the good things which our
heavenly father had provided and
which were prepared as only such
ladies can prepare them. Upon
the ground on clean linen was
spread cakes, pies, chicken stew,
fried chicken and other edibles
until it was inviting even to sick
man who said he didn't feel like
eating. But when all these good
things were thrown in sight be
changed his mind and came to the
front.
Mr.. Editor, there is more of the
old-time Methodist people in this
country than one would suppose,
/ tell you the fried chicken hardly
lasted till it could give out. Some
say Methodists and Baptists wont
work together, but I tell you they
did on this occasion and did it
harmoniously, too, each one doing
an equal share. We could not
help it because the dinner was Of
such y quality and quantity that
there had to be something done,
and we joined in and did it.
One of the most prominent
features Of the day was Jim. The
last time I saw him he had smile
on his face that seemed to mean
something. l think size said
ssy-e-s. = It was hard to tell
whether Jim was happy or
s'fainty." / thinkhe will survive
for he has q good nerve. I dis
liked to leave, but the low, NUT
tering thunder in the west seemed
to dictate that way. Itgoes with
out saying that we had q most en-
joyable time. The singing in
dulged in after the dinner I'm
sure was nice, sweet, cheerful
and animating. I wanted to stay
and hear it, but our befter-half,
being on the puny list, thought II
better to get home soon as possi-
bic because of that thunder.

And Addresses a Repre-
sentative Gathering
at Court House.
HE OUTLINED
HIS PLATFORM
And Stated His Views on the
Questions Now Agitating
the Public Mind.

Judge J. T. Watkins of Minden
addressed the citizens of Winn-
field and vicinity at the court
house Tuesday evening. At the
appointed hour quite q crowd had
assembled the meeting having
been advertised during the eve
ming.
Hon. O. M. Grisham called the
house to order and called j. NJ.
Webb of Atlanta to the chair.
Mr.. Webb explained the object
of the meeting and called on
Judge Wallace to introduce the
speaker. Judge Wallace, in q
few we'll chosen words, introduced
Judge Watkins, who made an adj
dress lasting about one hour in
which he outlined his platfor m in
the present campaign for repre-
sentative in Congress from this
district.
He said that his position on
primary elections is we'll known
to those who have heard his ex-
pressions on the subject during
the past few months. He favors
primaries in parishes and dis
tricts, but thinks that over so
large an area as the state they are
impractical ,rand he is agreed with
on this proposition by the legis-
lature which recently turned down
. primary law after the members
of that body having been elected
BY primary.
His record on the question of
internal improvement is we'll
known, he having, as Judge of his
district, insugurated . system of
working convicts on the public
roads of the parish. which system
is now endorsed by all who have
seen the wonderful improvement

In Judge Belts court today 40
cases were set for trial and a jury
sworn in to try the case Of Cyrus
B. Hull VS.. the Washington Water
Power company. Mr.. Hull is suing
the company for $4,000 damages for
injuries received July 20, 1908, while
alighting from one of its cars. Mr..
Hull states in his complaint that as
he was about to step from the car 1t
started with a jerk, throwing him to
the pavement. In the fall he sus-
tanned internal and external injuries,
from which he continues to suffer
and which are Of a permanent nature.
He is So years of age and a grocer,
having a store at the corner of Third
avenue and Napa street, and until the
time of the accident was capable of
earning $50 per month. Since that
time he has been under a physicians

Mr.. Handley said:

Mr.. Handley said:
THE fill has simply slipped down,
that's all"
AS a matter of fact there has been
developed the fact that somebody
blundered in the putting in the new
concrete piers at the south end of
the bridge. The piers were not put
down to bedrock and the bases have
been sliding north into the river, ne
cessitating an expensive retaining
wall, which is being hurriedly put in
now that the damage has been made
public.
The contractor who put in the piers
IS August Use, the defeated demo-
cratic candidate for sheriff. Like
many street paving Jobs Contractor
Use has had. there is Immediately a
large bunch of dissatisfaction.
Contractor Use admits the piers
were not put down to bedrock, but
throws the blame onto City Engineer
Gill, who made the plans which do
not call for the firmer anchorage.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-11-14
WHO WILL Be RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE BRIDGE?

City Engineer Gill lodges the bur-
den by declaring that the plans in
cluded the retaining wall in the first
place and that no harm has been done.
AS matter of fact the Monroe
street bridge has been tempered with
by incompetents of the city admin
istration until it is no longer safe.
Patching and mending suffices for but
a short time and the once splendid
structure is becoming so weak
through laundering attempts to re-
pair and strengthen it that the street
car company will no longer run cars
over it and heavy loads are taken
around by Post street.
Some day the Monroe street bridge
will fall. Who will be responsible?
Will it be crooked contractors or
crooked politicians at the city hall?

tunnel of the body. Allow yousL kid
neys to be out Of order and your d.
sestion will be interfered with the
heart will be weak, there may be
rimples and blotches on the faces and
rheumatism and kindred ailments
will have full sway.
AS Brights Disease is the most
serious Of all kidney diseases, the. dis
covery of the cure for 1t means also
that all minor troubles are easily
gotten rid of.
If you have any kidney trouble
whatever start at once with remedy
that is curing thousands and 2 will
cure you.

glect long-they've got their work to
do and must be made well quick, or
play out altogether
