The Ozone Lumber Co, Verda's
largest enterprise, is doing things
right along, having just received a
new logging engine, which is six
driver locomotive, and, together
with the shay they already had,
can log the mill for day and night
run.
The new tank which will be CON-
pleted this week is going to be- a
peach. 1t will be 70 feet high,
and will have a coat of red paint.
1t will also bold right smart
water.
Fresh coats of paint have been
added to the mill, planer, steam
kilns and commissary.
VIM. Hicks, of Pollock, is now
installed as depot agent here. with
his sister, Miss Lena, as assistant.
r. W. Wagner & Co., have had
quite q lot of improvements made
on their store in new town, and
now have one of the most up-to-date
establishments in this section of
the parish.
Milton O'Quinn, probably the
only merchant of his kind in the
Uuited States, has had an extern
sion IL feet long added to his store,
and hereafter will handle dry goods
as we'll as everything else. Mil
toms popularity is due to his know
ledge Of human nature and hyp-
motto influence over those of his
customers who need hypnotizing
in order to extract the filthy lucre
from them.
There was born on Friday, Aug.
10, 1906, to Mr.. and Mrs. w. w.
White, of Verda, girl babe. and
Chat being the case, it is now in
erder to select a name for tho little
lady, and, to save as, we can't think
of . thing to call her. So we have
decided to give a beautiful present
to the one who sends in.the right
name; and we are not hard to please
with names, either, only don't send
anything which sounds like Lore
ana May, Anna May or Lizzie
May, OF. any compound name join
ed together with a hyphen. Some
thing short is preferred, like from
three to five letters would spell.
Address Mrs. w. w. White, New
Verda, La.
l am glad to know about the big,
beautiful battleship which is soon
to be completed and which is nam
ed after our great State, Louisiana,
and I am also glad to be able to
contribute 25 cents, which you will
find enclosed to help buy the silver
service for the magnificent man-of-
war which is to represent US in
case of a scrap.
The Brownsville, Texas, affair
reminds me that the color or race
problem is up again for discussion
and the same old motherly Pic
ayune discusses it in the same old
fatherly way. Think the Pic is
right about it, inasmuch as the
North's attitude toward the South
and the negro. Thatis to say, that
the North is going to keep on die
tating to us how to manage the
negro problem till we get mad and
run every black kinky headed ras-
cal of EN- across the Mason and
Dixon line, or words to that effect.
Persons desiring knowledge of hoy
to settle the niger question are inA
vited to come out to Verda, or go.
over to Pollock and stay a while,
where every living human being is
white, and notice how much differ
ence there is. Still, / am not pre-
JUDGED toward the niger, only he
must not try to mix too much, and
: stay in a nigger's place, like he is
supposed to do.
Persons wanting wood cut will
be careful and not see Mr.. Gullett.
DR.. Bert Estis was called in last
Sunday to prescribe for Parson
Jeremiah Passthehat.
ST Lilies missed q right smart
corn, and was told that hogs were
getting in his field. He found the
hole and stopped it, and is now a
happy man.
There is man here by the name
