Aloha, La. June 4, 1907.
Editor Colfax Chronicle:
Seeing nothing from this place for
sometime write to say that Aloha
is the little town on the Valley rail-
road at the junction of the Winfield
branch. We have two hotels, but
they cannot furnish the board and
lodging needed. Four stores cannot
ill the bills of goods wanted. There
are two cold drink stands. and two
more going up. Wehave seven dwell
lings, and total of 3S Inhabitants.
Also postotfice, railroad depot, and
plenty OF room for more people.
This is quiet place. only one fight
since the place was established, and
it was among transient people.
Crops hereabouts are very bad.
The mail service of late has also
been bad, owing to the failure of the
trains to come through on time. No
trains on time of late except VIM
field branch, which has worked some
inconvenience on the people, especial
ly the travelling public.
Mr. W. Aver and wife and son, of
yersla, came this far last Sunday ON
the way to Alexandria to visit their
sister, Mrs. McWilliams, and her
brother, our old time friend, Mr.. j.
NJ. Nugent, but for want of a train
bad to GO back to Verda.
Our boyhood friend, John /. Nc
Cain. for lack of a train had to foot
it the best part of the way home. In
order to tighten up, he left the writer
a fine mess of squash and beans,
which we are thanking him for yet.

Weighing Party Nets Neat Sum
for Parsonage.

For some time plans have been
under discussion whereby a couple OF
rooms in the Methodist parsonage
could be carpeted without taking up
the usual subscriptions. Last Sun
day someone suggested weighing
party" in which the young men should
pay the difference between the weight
of themselves and the lady it would
be their fortune to select--in the dark,
as it WERE Mrs. g. II. Mcknight
graciously consented to act as host
ess for the occasion, and at the APP
pointd hour Monday night about "a
dozen couples met at Mrs. Meningitis
to assist in this lauda BILE undertaking.
Various amusements were INDUCED
in and the time passed rapidly, when
the announcement was made that it
was time to "weigh in.
The young ladies we're arranged
behind curtain, with about hall OF
one foot protruding, and each gentle
man asked to name the lady he wish
Ell to weigh with, whereupon lie was
told to select the one named 10y the
various feet showing beneath the
curtain. The fun then began in
earnest-some selecting partners oi
more or less avoirdupois than them
selves, and none being lucky enough
not to contribute handsomely to the
parsonage fund. Mr. w. A. Brown
lee was appointed ''otficial weigher'
and acquitted himself with credit by
the manipulation of the scales. The
neat sum of $40 So was realized, and
ench felt he had contributed to the
fund just about what it was worth
to be present and take part in the
weighing.
Refreshments of sherbert and cake
were served, and altogether the affair
was most enjoyable one.
Those present We're: Mr.. and Mrs
G. H. Mcknight. MIR. and Mrs. W. A
