JOIN SECTION HANDS STRIKE
BY Associated Press.

GOLDFIELD, New, Jan. 29.-The
clerical forces and freight handlers at
both the passenger and freight depots
have quit work in sympathy with the
striking trackmen. All trains are rum

the action of the men will cause any
difference in the schedule.
1t is said most of the men are still
members of the Industrial Workers of
the World, to which organization the
track workers and section hands be-
long. The local officials are handling
the running of the trains and trainmen
have shown no disposition to quit.

haiie.Dorsey.


On Monday, May Is, 4 p. m. at
the residence of Rev. Father j.
r. Solignac of Baton Rouge, Miss
Ida Halle of Bayou Sara and Mr..
Rankin Scott Dorsey of Natchez
were married. The ceremony
was witnessed by the brides
grandmother, Mrs. E. Morgan
of New Orleans, her mother,
Mrs. r. j. Curtaein of Bayou
Sara, her uncle, VIM. M. Halle of
New Roads, A. Villeret of Bayou
Sara and Hon. Carey Thompson
of Catahoula. The bride, who is
a beautiful girl of many talents
and accomplishments, wore a
simple walking suit of white silk,
afterwards changing it for a
travelling gown of blue silk with
hat to match.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dorsey, after
enjoying the god speed Of a few
friends in the station at Baton
Rouge, left On the cannonball
train for Natchez, where they
will be the guests of his mother
until June 1st, when they will re-
move to Meadville, thirty miles
from Natchez.
Mr.. Dorsey is a promising
member of the well-knoWn legal
firm of Eugle, Allen & Dorsey of
Natchez, which by a recent bust
ness agreement will have a resi-
dent member of the firm at
Natchez, Fayette and Meadville.
The last-named falling to Mr..
Dorsey's lot, he determined to
go there with his bride. Indeed
i was due to his business ar
rangements that the marriage
was hurried. He came for a visit
to his charming fiancee and real
ling that his business engage
ments would prevent his coming
again soon insisted on an imme-
date marriage. AS Miss Halle
is a recent convert to the Roman
Catholic Church, and the priest
was not in town the party was
hastily formed to go to Baton
Rouge to tie the marital knot.
Miss Halle is the daughter OF
the late Richard M. Halle and is
a young woman of great charm
and beauty. Her friends here
and elsewhere join us in the
heartiest good wishes for her flu
ture happiness.

West Feliciana as the Equalizers See Her.

Through the courtesy of Thos.
G. Glynn of Coyington, member
of the Board of Equalization, we
are favored with the annual re-
port Of the board. From it may
be CLEANED, not only the story of
painstaking labor, but many in
teresting facts and deductions
about the parishes. For instance,
West Fehciana has 1886 vehicles
of an average value of twenty
dollars; 1850 horses averaging
$50; 23O0 mules, S55 each; 1880
head of cattle, So each. West
Feliciana has no sheep, hogs,
goats, oxen, dogs q watercraft W
billiards and other gaming ia
bles worth mentioning. No mon
ey other than banks and brok-
ers' is reported. She is away
up as regards money invested in
merchandise being fifteenth in
the list, with $216.430. This is
not bad showing when it is con-
sidered that she has no large
towns like Orleans, Caddo, East
Baton Rouge, Ouachita or Ra-
pides.
She has 10000 acres of cypress
swamp untimbered at 500;
73, $50 acres of hardwood at $6.61;
25, 900 acres Of cotton land, class
A at $500; 25, $50, class B at $7.7G;
Is, 600, class G at 500. Appar-
entity she has no corn, sugar or
rice land. Her banks and bank
ers have $4,000. Her unim-
proved city lots are assessed at
SIS, 900 improved lots $267 $40.
The pamphlet is fertile in
many comparisons that could be
made but which lack of space
and time prevents any notice

For An Armory.

VI FAh TAI ANU y.
From public spirited desire
to see an Armory erected at this
place, a Subscription list is be-
ing circulated for the purpose.
It's aim and objects are thus re.
cited in the heading:
Believing, next to religious
organizations, lodges, and
schools, that a we'll disciplined
military organization is the most
important and necessary or
ganization needed in this COM
munity, and, as all of the above
established organizations are in a
Furnishing condition in this Par
ish, why can we not, with the
aid of the citizens financial and
moral support, put our military
organization on the same footing?
We need both your moral and
financial support, also need the
applications for enlistment of all
young men between the ages of
18 and IS.
From all citizens over age and
from those who do not or cannot
enlist we ask = liberal contribu-
ton for the pu1pos of fitting out
a first class Alepory for the
West Feliciana Rifles.
Our Government furnishes us
with every thing needed for ac-
tive campaign, but, aMilitia Man
needs more. Generally being a
single man he needs good and
comfortable quarters where he
can enjoy the pleasures of a good
gymnasium, good reading, ansl
other such comforts; q place
where he can spend his leisure
hours with assurances that his
companions chief amusements
will not be gambling and drink
ing.
We believe the moral and fin
ancial support of the good citi-
zens of this community will not
only have a soothing effect on our
"might-be" disturbing element
but will also have a decidedly
moral effect On the young man
growing up.
Give us a helping hand and we
promise you an organization
that is not only badly needed,
but one of which the State of
Louisiana, and ourselves parlicu.
larly will be justly proud.
