it is n poore excuse. 1t is a poor busi-
ness policy for any concern to I've SO
short-sighted as to fail to provide
for either contingency. There is a
well defined suspicion abroad that
this is merelya subterfuge of the ice
companies to bull the price OF ice dur
ing the heated term. At any rate it
is condition Of things not to be
tolerated by any community.
So far as the town of Colfax is con-
cerned, it is large enough to support
it's own ice factory, and has no bust
ness to allow other towns to take
the money away from the community
for this necessity. Where are the en-
terprising Colfax citizens who will
take this profitable business in hand?

He was district Judge for this parish

friends in this section. He spoke to
fair audience at the court house

were not only amused by his humor-
GUS plea that ''heavyweights' be CIV

convinced by the Judges solid talk
that he had ample ability to I'll the
Office with credit to himself and sat-
isfaction to the people.
