SOUTH ASHLEY

On Tuesday evening of last week
the Ashley Croakers visited at the
home of Miss Leva Andrews and had
a lovely time. So, at least, thought
the young man from Pleasant Hill
farm who on the way home seated
himself in the back part of the wagon
and proceeded to make himself agree
able. He was so engrossed in her
conversation that he did not notice
his rival glowering at him from the
opposite side. Suddenly loud re-
port was heard and the other pas
sengers were terribly shocked. On
regaining their composure they looked
around to see if all was we'll when her
sweet voice was heard to exclaim in
startled accents, "Why, Herb, you
haven't shaved"

HYMNS OF A HIGH NUMBER.
Curious Rule Prevails in the English
Church at Monte Carlo

A curious fact anent the service
held in the English church at Monte
Carlo is that no hymn under thirty
seven is ever sung there. The reason
for this may not be generally known.
1t is as follows:
A member of the congregation,
certain English peer, once went to
the rooms on Sunday, Immediately
after the morning service, and put
the maximum on thirty-two, the num-
Der of the last hymn. 1t turned up,
and the inspiration" was widely
talked about, as such things are in the
frivolous society of the principality.
The next Sunday the little church
was crowded and the last hymn being
a low number. an unseemly rush to
the rooms took place directly it was
announced. Curiously enough. the
number again turned up and the bank
was badly hit.
On the following Sunday the church
would not hold all the "worshipers,
but their intent was frustrated, as
all the hymns were ''off the board"
and have been so ever since.

Dissolved by Dampness

Never in all her previous history
did the city of Sank Centre make
such elaborate preparations for a
celebration as were made this week.
Had the weather been fair all previous
records would have been broken. AS
it was everything had to be called Off
and the only part of the program
carried out was the circus. This was
one of the best ever shown in the city;
all who attended were fully satisfied

LOUISIANA.
1t is with extreme sorrow that we
chronicle the death of Mrs. George
Edgar (nee Miss Lizzie Tait) of Long
Leaf, Louisiana. We have no partic-
ulars at this time, news having been
received simply that she was sick three
weeks with acute stomach trouble.
There was no thought of anything
serious until three days before her
death, when the disease took a diff
ferent turn.
Elizabeth M. TAFT was one of Sank
Centres choicest young women, and
her hosts of friends here are bowed
with heartfelt grief, and cannot speak
of her without hot tears of sorrow.
Only short year ago she was married
to George Edgar an old schoolmate of
early days, and half brother to Mrs.
DR.. Rich of this city. The joy that
filled the hearts of her friends when
the news of her happy marriage was
received here is now turned to mourn
ing.
Sympathy is extended to her three
brothers and her husband who is for
the second time bereft of a wife.
A queen among women has been
taken from earth, whose place will
never be filled. eyes when the morn
ing of her years was brightest that
awful presence into dust went down"

Competitive Drill.

The following item is clipped
from the Baton Rouge Times of
last Saturday:
Captain Josephson, of the Pol
ican Rifles, has sent challenge
to the Lake Charles company for
competitive drill to take place
at some point to be selected in
the future at Il date to be agreed
upon by the two companies.
During the recent encampment
of the National Guard at Camp
Stafford there was much rivalry
between the two companies, and
in the official drill the Lake
Charles company carried off the
first prize by but 2 points in 80.
Major Stewart, of the Third
battalion, has suggested that Ope-
lousas be selected as the place for
the competitive drill, as 1t is a
neutral point and accessible to
both companies. This matter will
be determined upon later.
Since the above was put in type,
Major Stewart informs us that he
has every prospect of securing
this meeting in Opelousas in Sep
tember, unless the quarantine re-
strictions prevent. He has al
ready secured the consent of seven
companies of the State National
Guard to meet here, and expects
that other commands will agree
to attend if the fever situation
will admit. They will all be well
coined, and we can promise them
a good time.

Thara was q rnusinp mass me,

There was a rousing mass meet
ing of citizens at the Court House
Thursday afternoon, called for the
purpose of organizing volunteer
corps to assist the town authori-
ties in their work of putting the
town in Il thorough sanitary con-
dition to ward off yellow fever.
DR.. B. A. Littell presided at the
meeting, and Leon Haas, Esq,
acted as secretary. 1t was decid-
ed to divide the town into twelve
sanitary districts, each district to
be presided over by a captain,
who shall have charge of a squad
of men who will be required to
put their respective districts in a
cleanly condition. 1t is to the
credit of our citizens that they
evinced a genuine interest in the
work, and responded heartily to
the call of duty. With the work
of the volunteer corps and the
present crew in the employ of the
town health authorities, it is a
foregone conclusion that the SAN
itary condition of the town will
be brought up to the highest
standard, and if cleaning and dis
injecting count for anything, it is
safe to predict that Mrs Stegomya
and Mr.. Yellow Jack will find
Opelousas very uncongeniaI
place of habitation.

MIR. Editor: Our town is strictly
quarantined and numerous guards
are stationed at all the roads en-
tering it, thus entailing very
heavy expense. | think Il more
efficient and much less costly plan
would be to make the already an
nounced fact more widely known
that persons from infected dis
tricts will incur severe penalties
if they come here, and have few
inspectors or detectives to watch
for all newcomers. The guard
plan has been repeatedly proven
ineffective in the past, and only a
few days ago was again proven to
be farce, people passing stations
at night without being halted.
But we're the guards doubled or
trebled and always wide-awake, a
person determined to enter town
could do so by going through
felds-as has been done here be-
fore. Only yesterday it was re-
ported that two or three parties
were arrested in town and sent to
the detention camp, because they
could not give satisfactory ac'
count of their recent movements.
These parties, it is fair to assume,
had not been seen by the guards
It is time to change these anti
quated methods and try some less
cumbersome and less expensive
plan, which, | am sure, could be
made more efficient.
