Queen Beach Resort.

The Queen Beach resort IS be-
coming a popular place. Fishing
parties are camped on the lake
shore all the time. And they are
not only fishing, but they are
catching. 1t is no trick at all to
hook a ten-pound fish, but it is
not always SO easy to land him.
The feet of motor boats, skiffs
and canoes which DIR. Burnett has
placed on the lake furnish no end
of amusement.
There will be big crowd here
the 27th. 1t looks now as if the
opening of Queen Beach would
gather about the biggest crowd
that has ever assembled in the
valley. A town site has been laid
out and lots are beng sold to
those who contemplate building
cottages. There will, OF course,
be more or less business places,
hut the main idea is not town
LOT sale. or a business town. The
central intention is a peasure re-
sort. A store has been built to
supply the needs of campers. The
hotel will be put up at once.
! AS a sign of what is before
this resort it might be mentioned
that thirteen gun clubs have al
ready reserved places in the hotel
for their members during shoot
ing season. An automobile line
from Lamar to the lakes will be
opened at once. Everything is
being for the convenience of Wis
itors.-G. r. H. in Syracuse

For Sheriff.

To the Voters of Lafayette Parish:
hereby announce myself;as a can.
didate for the Office of Sheriff of the
parish of Lafayette, subject to the
action of the white democratic voters
of the parish at the primary election
to be held January %, 1908.
If elected l pledge myself to donate
two thousand five hundred dollars
(25OO.OO per pnu to the public
schools of the parish. The announce
ment of my purpose to do this was at
first qualified by the provision that
l would donate this amount until the
legislature enacted the laws necessary
to reduce the executive salaries OF
sheriffs. The legislature in special
session has recently enacted a law
which reduces IN some measure. these
measure these executive fees, but
believe that the fees of the office as
fixed by that law are excessive and
even under its provisions 1 still
pledge myself, if elected, to give the
sum of two thousand five hundred
dollars (250O. OO) per annum to the
public schools of the parish.
| further pledge myself to the con-
scientious discharge of all the duties
of said Office and the thorough execu-
ton of all laws.

The remarkable prosperity an,

The remarkable prosperity and
wonderful longevity attained by
East Lynne can be explained
only by the fact that the story
the play unfolds is intensely
human. Although berless
dramas have been written in i'm
itation of this excellent play, not
one of them reaches the depths
of feeling or sounds the note of
human appeal IS truly as does
this dramatic picture of the
beautiful, unfortunate Lady Isa-
bel. To adequately portray the
varying emotions of this complex
character is a task requiring not
only the charm Of youthful beau
ty. but a marked degree of his
trionic ability as we'll. The en-.
gagement at the Jefferson Thea
tire is for Sunday, January 26.

A LAFAYETTE Candidate.

BY an oversight, ne mention was
made of the entry of a very important
contestant Saturday, who started of
with over $500 votes = Mrs. F. c.
TRAY of Lafayette, La. Mrs. TRAY
is running as the candidate of the
Lafayette School Improvement League
and is sure to poll a heavy vote from
that prosperous and proud city, so
don't be surprised when you read of
Mrs. TRAY making big jumps.
The above notice was published
in The Morning World, of New
Orleans. Jan. 20, and refers to
the contest which has been in
augurated by that newspaper for
a one thousand dollar piano to be
pres ented to the organization
whose candidate will secure the
greatest number of votes by
March IA. Each subscription
secured for The Morning World
counts for a certain numkr of
votes, a subscription of OFT year
counting for twice as many votes
as a subscription for six months,
etc.
If Mrs. TRAY is the successful
contestant she will ask for pianos
having a valuation of $500 each.
instead of taking one of the value
of $1,000. and the two pianos will
be presented to thepublic schools
of Lafayette, one piano going to
each of the two new school build
ings. 1t is to be hoped that the
forts of Mrs. TRAY will becrowned
with success as a good piano Is
really needed in each one of the
new school buildings.
