Rescuers hurried to the mine from

The fire is constantly gaining head :

New Orleans Letter

New Orleans, La, Jan. IL, 1909:
Editor St. Tanmany Farmer:
After being away IT. n this big city
quite awhile, Que seems almost bewll-
dered to see so man. changes and inn
provements on ever, side. The old
famiIia streets and building are hard
to find, and wheL found seemed to
have put on all up-t9-date styles, SO
that they can scarcely be recognized.
Then the many trolley street cars,
crossing like gridiron the whole city,
| makes one feel little like stranger
sure enough.
/ The big Terminal Depot on Canal
street, with its throngs of people go
ing in every direction, and at night its
many and varied lights beaming
athwart your vision and almost blind
ing you, makes it very easy to mag
inc that one is at some European cen
ter of the busy world instead of the
dear old New Orleans of long ago.
All this is delightful episode and
opens up to the minds eye glimpses
of what is to come to our great city
it the near future.
It would be an herculean task
to try to describe one-half of the
new and wonderful progress that one
sees in every turn this beautiful kalei-
doscope presents to us as we pass up
and down the great thorougfares, and
even the less picturesque streets and
places show much that is promising,
and gratifying. All that has been
predicted by the far-seeing business
prophets will surely come to pass, and
that shortly, for dear old New Orleans.
MRS. L. c.. SADLER.

Mothers Club.

To all mothers and especially those
who are interested in their children
education and advancement in the
school: | would like to have all the
mothers come and join US at our regu-
lar meetings, at $3.50 p. M, on the
second Friday, of each month. It is
the Mothers Club, and attend our
meetings in order to know how our
children are getting along in their
studies and become more acquainted
with tReir teachers and the Professor.
| think an mothers should be acquainted
with Prof. Lyon and see how much
interest he takes in our children and
their education. Prof. showed US
some of the school work in drawing,
and it is pleasure tosee the improve
ment in that study, and the attention
I he gives to all other studies. [ think
all mothers should aid US to help build
up good school here.
Some mothers say, what good is a
Mothers Club? You can seewhat the
Mothers Club has done in the city of
New Orleans for the school. Why not
let us do good here. We can, by earn
est efforts and regular attendant.
We are always ready to give help
ing hand for our children's education,
and would be more SO if we had cur
new school building.
Let us all work for the interest Of
our children, as Prof. Lyon is doing,
and show what good the Mothers
Club IS to the school. Come, all
mothers, we can entertain you for
awhile, and see what our meetings are.
With best wishes to all,
i remain respectfully,
MRS. G. E. JENKINS,
Vice President, Mothers Club.

A MOnstrOSity.

Herman Oalman and Wallace Davis,
have monstrosity in the shape of a
calf with two heads. The heads are
natural and distinct, being joined to-
gether from the center of the cheek
to the top of the head. 1t has two
mouths, two tongues, three eyes, one
on each side of the double head and
one in the center, two ears in natural
position and two brains. 1t would
blate from the two mouths at the
same time and suck two nipples at the
same time. and in raising its eyes all
were directed at one object. It lived
about four days and was afterward
prepared to be stuffed and will proba-
bly, be placed on exhibition in some
one of the New Orleans museums.

The Goth of January, 1907,
Miss LaWler was married
to Jno. A. Sidney, since
that time she has resided in
New Orleans. Gentle, kind and
sweet of disposition she won
for herself the love and esteem
of all who knew her. On the
9Th of September 1908, Mrs.
Sidney became the mother of
beautiful twin boys. Never very
strong in health, the care and
devotion lavished on the little
ones was a great strain on the
delicate nerves, a slight cold
was contracted and ere she was
aware of it galloping consump-
ton set in, and all the aid of
physicians was of no avail. The
true spirit of the gentlewoman
was shown in all the delerium
that accompanies such a dread
full malady, her conversation
seemed to be with those in the
spirit land. Many, many times
she thanked her divine Lord
for taking her to so beautiful a
home. During the six days of
her high delirium nothing but
the sweetest and purest OF Ian
guage came from her pure lips.
| have witnessed many death
bed scenes but, but hers was
the sadest. The christian soul
knew it's Master was calling her
home, but the mothers heart
longed to remain with her dear
little babes, Oh! how she fon-
died and caressed them, nursed
them, sang to them and prayed
over them. imagining she held
them in her arms, she would
crune soft sweet lullabys, caus-
ing the hearts Of those who
loved her to ache with pain be-

leaves to mourn her early de-
mise, a young husband, an ach-
