delivering orders from passengers.
Lately the company claims they ave
been guilty of violating the law and
hence the charge against the follow

DEATH OF S. J. MONTGOMERY

Samuel J. Montgomery, aged nearly
so years. died at his home near Lafa-
vette after a brief illness Saturday,
Jan. % at 1880 a. m. Deceased was
born in Paris, KY, March %, 1879,
but about the time of the breaking out
of the Civil War came to Louisiana
and married Miss Anna Breaux Of
LAFAYETTE. He was a man OF quiet
and unostentatious habits, devoting
himself to the cultivation of his farm
and the care of a large and interest
ing family. AS a citizen Mr.. Mont
gomery cared little for official prefer
ment, and while always concerning
himself in public affairs. did so from
purely unselfish motives. A nan OF
strong determination and strict recti-
tude of character, he combined those
gentle and kindly qualities of heart
and mind that won not only the love
and respect of a large circle OF friends
and acquaintainces: but above all en-
deared him to his lamily as a tender
and af%fectionate father considerable of
their every want and need. Mr.. Mont
gomery left ten children, all residents
of Lafayette and well known in the
community: Mrs. George Doucet, Miss
Efie Montgomery, Robert. Richard,
James, George, Charles, John, Frank
and William Montgomery. The flu
neral services we're held at the home
by Rev. j. +. Kendrick and the body
was inferred in the Protestant ceme-
terry Sunday evening. The large num-
Der of attendants testified more elo-
quently than words to the high esteem
entertained for the departed one by
the people of u town and parish.
Besides his family here Mr.. Mont
gomery is survived by a brother,
John of Paris. KY, 81 years of age.
aud two sisters, Mrs. r. Rouney and
Miss Ella, both of Covington, KY.
The Advertiser joins their many
friends in extending sincere sympathy
to the bereaved family.

Govers of TRUTH

On Friday last the members OF Mrs1
Kennedy's class met at Mrs. Grow
Gerard's home and organized them
selves into a Philathea class. This
organization is the young ladies n
corresponds to the Baraca class
which the young men have recently
organized. At this first meeting OH
GERS were elected and all the initial
steps made to organize a splendid
working class.
The various committees were ap-
pointed and Mrs. Kennedy was elect
ed class teacher. The meeting was
well attended, and from the interest
manifest, a bright future seems to be
before the class.
Sunday morning the class met at
it's regular Sunday school time, with
present. The plans n con-
stitution we're discussed and the reg
ular lesson of the morning was car
ried out. The motto is: Young
m at work for young women, all
standing by the Bible and the Bible
school," The object of the organiza-
ton is to promote an intelligent study
of the Bible. 1t is the earnest desire
of the teacher and the members to
increase the enrolment and to get
each member actively interested and
at work. There are many kinds OF
work; something that is congenial
and adapted to each individuality.
While the class is allied to the
Methodist Sunday school, it cordially
invites every one to attend. If you
are not a member of any Sunday
school, come any or all Sundays at IL
and see and help the work. The organ
ization is not UNCONVENTIONAL, and
every one is invited.
There are social and other features
connected with the class which will
prove pleasant and interesting.

LEAVES FOR

Coach Kennedy and his squad of

urday afternoon at Dugdale park.
Kennedy and Cook have been
putting in strenuous week prepar-
ing their charges for the meet with
the interscholastic champs of 1908,

Sound City with much confidence
regarding the outcome of the game
with an eleven they consider
weaker than the Broadway team.
Robinson will take Wooster's
place at left end, while De Witt
Thompson will take Shields place
in the back field. The new men
are heavier and the change is ex-
pected to strengthen the eleven,
Shields wrist was sprained in the
Broadway game.
The probable lineup of the team
will be as follows: Adams, center;
Henderson and Runner, guards;
Railsback and Gallagher, tackles;
Robinson and Fancher, ends; Dur
ham, quarter; Edris, full; Slough
and Thompson, halves: Wooster.
