Carencro Euchre Club.

The Euchre Club of Carencre. was
reorganized last week and a most en-
joyable meeting was held with n of
their enthusiastic members, Mrs. Geo.
Melchoir, who in her hospital home
always makes each guest feel welcome
and so glad to be present.
The guests were met and seated
upon the balcony, which was made
coy with the many dropping ferns
and beautiful pot plants. Twelve eX
citing games of euchre were played,
which resulted in Mrs. Louis Prejean
capturing the much wished for belt
buckle, while the second prize, a pref
ty box of note paper. fell to Mrs. Guild
ry, and the guests prize, a fancy hat
pin was Vol by Mrs. Dugas. The
guests were then ushered into the
dining o which was made beauti-
full with many lovely cut flowers ar
t~istically arranged in every nook and
corner, while the table with an ex-
Quisite bouquet of pink roses in the
center and other beautiful ones scat
tered around, received great admira-
ton. The delicious two-course lun-
cheon consisting of the following was
enjoyed by all: Turkey sandwiches,
olives, saltines, white wine, fruit sal

The Home Merchant.
Crowley Signal:

Sho
In an editorial on "Why it Pays to
Buy Goods at Home" the Liberal
(kansas) Independent has this ap-
probation of the home merchant:
The retail merchant conducts a
school of commerce for our education
and the tuition is free. Every man,
woman and child gets the benefit of
seeing in the home town about any
thing that is of real importance. He
protects us against fraud and deceit.
He stands for the square deal.
You never ordered a $40 lightning
rod of your home merchant and then
found your note for a thousand dol
lars in the bank next day as a re-
suit. You never paid him $50, for a
range that warped out of shape in
six months-without your wife getting
the money back. He never charged
! you SIS for a Trailer buggy that you
found out afterwards that could be
bought elsewhere for $50.
No, the home merchant is just like
you. He lives where he does business
and his success depends on making a
friend of you and your neighbor. Like
you he has to make good
The retail merchant is now the one
great actor in our commercial system
and this is true solely because he rem
ders us better service than we a get
elsewhere. Take him away and our
home town is gone; take our home
town away and we deprive u chill
dren of the retail store, which is the
greatest single educational factor in
modern life. No, it cannot be. The re-
tail merchant will continue to abide in
our affections SO long as We value our
homes, because the average citizen is
proud of his town the always tells
how close his farm is to it, and lie Sc
cretly despises the methods of ped
dlers-and the peddler sytem is now
known to be the legitimate father of
the wholesale catalog house bust
ness.
The retail merchant advertises his
goods and invites you to his store and
when you buy of him he tries to make
his statements in the advertisement
good by selling you just the quality of
goods he advertises.

MARKET FOR TRUCK.
Sales Agent United Truck growers
Association Offers to Find Mar
ket for Truck Raised Here.

Wednesday A. H. Hargis, repre-
senting j. F. Hayden, Of Alexandria,
sales agent for the United Truck
Growers Association of Rapides
parish. was in Lafayette for the
purpose of ascertaining to what e
tent truck growing was practiced
~ this parish and what were the pro-
liabilities of organizing truck growers
associations here.
The agency represented by Mr..
Hargis acts as a selling agent for
farmers who grow truck. They sell
direct from the producer to the buyer
for cash charging a commission for
their services. To facilitate sales
they have made arrangements with
buyers to come to Alexandria and
they make cash sales to them upon
notification of shipment and grade
of products, at once sending check
and account sales to the farmers.
The purpose of the sales agency
is to find immediate buyers for po-
tatoes, onions and other truck
promptly and for cash. Sales only
in carload lots are made, but those
raising less than that quantity can
take advantage of the services OF
the agency by uniting in shipments
with others. And to aid in this Mr..
Hargis, on request addressed to him
at Alexandria, will come and or
ganize truck growers associations.
His assistance will also be given in
the way of information as to grading
products and sacking Or preparing
for shipment.
Mr.. Hargis states that they make
their sales to buyers in Alexandria
at onc on notification of grade and
shipment for cash and at once send
proceeds to shippers.
The presence of the boil weevil in
this section has made it imperative
that the farmers should grow other
products than cotton. A market for
this other produce is a necessity.
Mr.. Hargis offers his services in
finding this market and it would be
we'll for the farmers to meet Mr..
Hargis and discuss the matter with
him.

The Public School Closing.

Our public school closed last
Friday night. Notwithstanding
he .nclement weather there was
a good audience present. The
Editor was not able to be present
O wing to a recent illness, but we
learn that great ovation was ten
dered the principal, Prof. c. G..
L onch, at the close of the exercis-
es. Certainly we never saw a
man more devoted to his calling
than Prof. Lynch. At all times
nd under all circumstances, the
interest of the school and the stu
dents seems uppermost in his
mind and heart. The teachers
under him seem to have given
perfect cooperation in making the
term a success. The following
were awar ded medals last Thursday
and Friday nights: For scholar
ship primary grade, Joe Burns;4th
grade, Dennis Burns; for punctu-
ality in whole school, Edna Mat
thews; for oratory Sth- grade,
Blanche Edwards; 9th grade, Adj
die Lou Morgan. For being first
in class, Clark Williams.

The Storm.

The great storm that passed over
the South Friday did not Neglect
Iuka. One strip passed through
South Iuka, destroying the colored
Baptist church and the unfinished
Odd Fellows hall east of the
Springs Park. This is the fourth
time this church has been wreck
ed. First in 1879 it was blown
from where the colored school
building now stands. Then it
was novel about one hundred
yards east and rebuilt. Some
years later it was blown down
again, rebuilt and afterwards
struck by lightning. About five
years ago it was carried entirely
away with the exception of the
flooring, parts of the building
being found three miles from
town, and this time. The wreck
age is not as complete this time as
heretofore, but the entire struc-
ture will have to be torn down
before reconstruction is possible.
