DROWNED AT PICKEREL.
Boat Upset and Two Day County
y Young People Drowned.

One of the saddest accidents in the
history of Pickeral lake occurred last
Sunday afternoon when Miss Annie
Hustad and Oscar Smedstad were
drowned. Doubly lsad because two
people so young should be taken from
our midst. Sad because a gay and
happy party should be so suddenly
broke up in such manner. Sad when
we think that two homes of loved ones
had that morning said "good by" little
thinking for the last time.
A party of young people consisting of
the Misses Nordness and Hustad and
Oscar Leonand Oscar Smedstad, who
lived about twelve miles north of this
city, went to the lake for a days out
ing. After eating lunch they procured
a boat and started onto the lake. The
boat was not built after the pattern of a
row boat but rather like a box with
a fiat bottom and straight sides. This
jolly party, little thinking of danger,
began to rock the boat and when about
so yards from shore the boat upset.
Only one i'll the party, Oscar Leon,
could swim and he at once set about to
rescue the party. He succeeded in
getting Miss Nordness safely to shore
but before he could return to the scene
of the accident Miss Hustad and Oscar
Smedstad were drowned. The girls
body was found about fifteen minutes
after the accident happened, but the
young mans body was not found for
over an hour.
The accident happened at the north
end of the lake near what is known as
Maloneyville.
1t was indeed sad occurance and the
relatives have the sympathy of all.

Letter 10 E. N. Pnel,.

Dear Sir-As your business is to
get people into and out of trouble, sup
pose you consider their paint; it N axes
'em almost as much trouble as money,
except, of course, matrimony.
They buy poor paint a good deal;
they don't mean to; they don't know
any better; they buy without thinking.
Bad paint isn't good. 1t looks good
enough for a year; then begins to get
rusty but changes SO slowly, one
doesn Il notice it.
Looking isn't all. The business of
paint is to keep the house dry inside,
the wood and iron Of it; keep it from
rotting and rusting. Takes good paint
to do it.
Good and bad paint are sold at one
price or about that. One can't go by
the price at all; as with lawyers, the
price has nothing to do with the good
ness or badness; and costs are worse
yet; the painter and sheriff come-in
for their share.
But the probability is that a man
who paints Devoe will come out ontop.
Yours truly,
Is F. W. DEvoE & Co.,

Business in New Orleans.

The following excerpts. from Dun IS
Review of March IL, showing general
| and market conditions at New Orleans,
| will prove of interest:
General Conditions-Trade shows a
material Improvements. Country mer-
chants are disposed TO buy more freely
and a number OF leading jobbers report
the volume of business in excess of what
it was year ago. Trade has also
been stimulated by the presence in the
city of a large number OF country
merchants, brought here by the low
rates TO the Carnival. Retail trade is
also very good.
Cotton-Trading in futures continues
of only fair proportions. and quota
lions have fuctuated within narrow
limits. The market closes fairly
steady, a few points above what it was
q week ago. Offerings, both locally
and from the interior, have not been
free, and holders have no difficulty in
selling at prevailing quotations. Re-
ceipts Of cotton at all ports for the
season are 1924 $50 bales, againsti
6,513,874 bales last year. Stocks at
al ports are 665.346 bales, against
622, $3.50 last year.
Rice-The rice market has been COM
paratiyely quiet and trading of limited
proportions. Prices are unChanpe
