COLONY HOUSE.
A Good Building That Will Cost but
Little.

Now that the cares Of the poultry
man are centered on his growing
stock, and while every inch Of housing
room is being taxed to the limit in
providing quarters for them, a sugges-
ton for an inexpensive colony house
might be found advantageous to those
who are contemplating making more
room that they may more properly
take care Of their future fiocks. The
time has passed when the poultrymsn
will consign his maturing birds to an
old barrel, box or the trees and con-
sistently expect them to develop into
good breeders or prize winners. To
get the best results the modern fan
cier appreciates the value Of sanitary
housing, for upon this almost to as
great an extent as proper feeding, de-
pends the welfare and future health of
our growing fowls.

A very pretty weekend party was
given by little Miss Pearl Rivers Nc
Cracken at her beautiful home. She
sent out written invitations to her
many little friends, and twenty of
them were on hand to enjoy the de-
lightful occasion. Games and plays
occupied their attention for while,
then they were called to cap the eli
max by pinning necktie on Cluster
Brown" There he was pictured, and
the veritable "Tige" by his side, and
tackled on the wall. His costume was
fine, but he lacked a necktie, and the
blind folded girls and boys were top n
that on his collar while he squinted
one eye to see them make failure
to get it near his neck. Poor Tige
had the misfortune to get one pinned
on the end of his nose. After all had
tried to pin the bows in the right
place, it was pronounced by the judge
that little Miss Louise Crawford had
won the prize by pinning her bow
quite near Busters collar. Bill Post
won boys prize, and as Louis Johnson's
bow was fartherest away, he won the
BOBBY prize. The girls had blue bows
and the boys had white. The partici-
pants in this enjoyable fun were the

Mr.. ,Lefebvre Is native Of Louisiana,
born in Iberville Parish, from where
he moved in his early manhood to his
present home of West Baton Rouge
and where he has continuously lived
and followed the occupation Of
farmer.
Although he is not like all other con-
gressmen and congressional aspirants,
an attorney at Law yet he has
proved his ability to serve his parish
and State in public position with due
credit to himself and his constituents
in various capacities.
In 1892 he was called upon by a
unanimous vote to serve his district in
the State Senate where he early
gained influence and prominence.
He served his parish in the constitu-
tional convention of 1898, and no man
labored more earnestly than he to Sc
cure to the white people of the State
the absolute right of State, parish and
ward government.
In 1896 he was nominated and elect
ed to the position of sheriff of his
parish, which position he filled to the
entire satisfaction of his constituents
until 1899 when he was prevailed upon
to accept the position of member of
the Board of Commissioners of the
Atchafalaya Basin Levee District
where he has continuously served since
and of which Board he has been the
honored president for the past five
years;
Mr.. Lefebvre Is an ardent advocate
of the improvement. by the National
Government, of inland waterways of
the State and district, that navigable
streams may be offered as a check
and barrier to exorbitant railroad
rates and corporation. In fact the
ambition of his life seems to be de-
voted to the fostering and advance
ment of the States best interest and
especially to her agricultural and
manufacturing industries, and should
he be selected to serve his district ir
the national congress there is 40 doubt
Of his ability and untiring energy II
any and all questions pertaining to the
interest of his native State as well as
his unceasing watchfulness and scru,
