MISUNDERSTOOD iSALE POSTPONED
Continuous DOWnpOur of Rain Made
Sale Impossible. Sale Will be
Held Tuesday, March 9th.

What promised to be the greatest
stock sale that this country has ever
| witnessed failed to come off last Tues
day on account of the continuous
downpOur of rain that began early in
the morning and continued with
scarcely any interruption throughout
the greater part of the day. Mr.. Nc
Burney had made extensive arrange
ments for this sale, and had adver-
tised it thoroughly through this Sec
tiOn OF the State, but owing to the
heavy downpour it was not possible
to have the sale come off as billed, so
the same was postponed for two weeks,
or until Tuesday, March 9th. Despite
the inclement weather, and the flooded
conditions Of the roads, in the neigh
borhood of 125 people were present,
and had the rain ceased so that they
could have gotten out, the sale would
have occurred anyway.
Among those present from a dis
lance we're Hon. j. E. Fairchilds, of
Edgerly, W. N. Hoyt, of Esterwood,
B. Braden, of Lake Arthur, A. Met.
calf, of Jennings, Mrs. Harrison and
Mr.. Cosy from the Klondyke planta-
ton, Messrs. Eddy, of Lake Charles,
and Gum, of Roanoke, who have
large plantations north of Lake
Charles.
Mr.. McBurney has his stock up in
fine shape, and it was the general yer.
dict of the cattlemen present that it
was the finest line of stock they had
seen in the State, and with scarcely
an exception those who were there ex-
pressed their intention of coming back
in two weeks, to bid on this stock.
There was general good feeling on the
part of all present, and none of them
seemed to regret their trip out, even
though they were not able to make
the purchases they had intended max.
ing.
Ali lovers of fine stock should 20
out and look at this stock on the day
of sale. Mr.. McBurney has devoted !
much time and money to the import.

lEarauders Rntering The School House.

Complaint has again been made
that unknown marauders are in tht
habit of entering the school house a.
night and leaving the doors and win.
doWs open. Mr.. Bower, the Janitor,
says that frequently he finds either
fthe doors or windows of the building
open ia the morning, although he has
taken the greatest care to close them
properly in the evening,
While there is not much complaint
OF things being taken, yet there Is ev-
cry evidence that the building 10 being
entered and made rendezvous for
purposes for which 1t was never In
tended.
This Is q practice that should be
stopped at the earliest possible mo-
ulent, as such practice Is q great
menace to the building. It only takes
one match to start a fire and with the
inefficient methods for fighting fire, II
once started, there would be little hope
Of saving the building.
u Is reported that several of the
young men Of the town, have keys
mat will open the school house. We
nave no knowledge whether they are
.ne parties that are entering the build.
ing or not, but If they are, they should
De taught that the mere fact that they
nave key that will open public
building, does not give them license
. enter the same, regardless of law
and order.
