Beat EN- To II,

The True Democrat received
early on Saturday a wire from
Hon. R. G. Wickliffe in response
to our request that he use his
best efforts to have the battle.
ship, Mississippi, stop opposite
Bayou Sara on her way up or
down the river. His reply was
that he would do his "very best
to comply with request " Sub
sequent reports of the press
show that Mr.. Wickliffe lost no
time in comforting with the Navy
Department on the subject, re.
ceiving much encouragement for
ultimate success. With his &C.
customed thoroughness he in.
cluded the other important towns
in this district: Donaldsoaville,
Plaquemine and Baton Rouge
besides Bayou Sara.
Later on Friday, the Baton
Rouge Board of Trade, and the
mayor, wired requests similar to
ours for their town, but Mr..
Wickliffe had probably acted be-
fore he heard from them.
Mayor Irvine of Bayou Sara
and Mayor Barrow of st. Fran
cisville seconded our efforts by
a wire on Saturday to Congress
man Wickliffe.
But it matters little who asked
first, so that the Department
makes the concession. In such
event. the stopping of this i'm.
mense vessel can be made the
day of a big jollification here,
and incidentally prove helpful to
local interests, by bringing in a
vast crowd from the surround.

Mr.. Bob"

The play, "Mr. Bob" given by
the Julius Freyhan High School
Athletic Association, was well
attended last Friday night. The
performance was generally con-
coded to be far above the aver
age of amateur plays; the best in
fact presented here in many
years. "Mr. Bob" is a bright,
catchy play, and those cast for
the different parts acquitted
themselves admirably. Misses
Gray and Pruitt of the high
school faculty were charming,
and the high school boys and
girls, Misses Hilda Simmons and
Mabel Gore and Mercer Barrow,
Joe Smith and Harry Daniel,
were very good.
In addition to the play Miss
Lena Sheppard sang and Miss
Nathalee Pruitt recited. Both
received encores. Little Misses
Cleo, Hazel and Eta Vaughan
sang and Misses Elyira and Anna
Tempel played a duet.
Over seventy dollars were TAX
en- in, and this sum will net a
neat fund for the athletic club.
Encouraged by their success
here, the play was presented in
WOodville, last night, and we
hope, that it met with due APP
probation.

she calls herself, expatiates eloquently
upon Just enjoying q delightful vaca.
tion," which consisted of spending
half a week in the sewing-room where
"a domestic exigency" required her
entire attention, to the utter exclusion
of politics, pen, blue pencil and
shears. y 1t was a pleasant incident
full OF human interest and feelingly
described, but the relation is exasper-
atingly incomplete in its failure to in
dictate the character of the domestic
eXigency and the kind ofgaments un-
