Washington Enterprise.
We congratulate the Donaldsonville
Chief upon the promotion of G..
Donnaud Bentley from the post of
associate editor to that of editor-in-
chief. Young Bentley is virtually a
9 chip of the old block and his
bright sallies will do much to make
The Chief even more popular than it
is, particularly as the intelligent help
Of Miss Ella Bentley and A. G. Wild
den is retained on the staff.
The Comet extends congratula-
tions to both The Chief and Donnaud.
AS the Enterprise, says sshe is a chip
of the old block,' and the old block,
we would like to state, is considered
some Of the best editorial timber in
the state.

Mr.. Donnaud Bentley has taken
editorial charge OF that excellent pa
per, the Donaldsonville Chief. He is
descended from brilliant journalistic
stock, to which he has grated an
education acquired at the Louisiana
State University. From the days Of
his boyhood he has dabbled with edi-
torial work and if he doesn't make
Roadway in the profession as fast as
ssthe ID beating the tan bark, then
he will have to go to Pulitzer's School
of journalism. With entire conf
dence that he will hold his own against
all corners, we extend to him our very
best wishes.

The Donaldsonville Chief celebrated
its ttirty-third anniversary last week.
While republican in politics, The
Chief is, in the strictest sense of the
word, a newspaper, and The Beacon
believes the best country newspaper in
the state. The Chief never publishes
stuff sto fill up, and doesn't pad-out
articles with six-point slugs, either.
