The Gnu In the Zoo.

They've got a gnu in the zoo. It's a
new gnu. That is to say, no one ever
knew it there before. When 1t arrived
it had very little coat. Consequently
1t was in a state Of gnudity; hence
this new ditty we are composing on
the subject. But now it is no longer
gnude. That new gnu knew some.

Verse 2S-Why is it that God has

What proportion, Of present day
Christians, have practically the same
experience as these twelve disciples
had, when Paul met them?
Is the Holy Spirit, as spoken of in

If it is now the privilege of every
Christian to receive the Holy Spirit

Rate of Light Advanced.

The Town Council last week
adopted an ordinance TO change
the system of fiat rate for the cleo
trio light plant to the meter. Me-
ters will be exacted for all persons
using three or more lights and all
persons using one or two lights,
the rate will ba raised from 40 to
70 cents for residences and from
60 to % cents for business houses.
The meters put up will cost
S12,50 and will he paid on the in
stallmeni of 81. per month in or
der TO make the change easy on
the consumers. There is some
dissatisfaction from those now
using fiat rate. but when they will
use the meter, they will soon find
that If there is no waste, they can
have much more lights in their
homes at less than they are paying
now. No one now using meters
would so back to the flat rate.
The meter is TO prevent waste and
abuses, aud it is for the benefit of
all concerned, the plant and con-
sumers.
The above rate TO take effect on
the LIST of January 1910.

A Stupid Argument.

Some of those people on The 9TH
or side of the Atchafalaya River,
those who have been having all
the benefit of the Levee money.
who begin 10 realize that the peo-
pie Of the west side Of the Aicha-
falaya are serious in their de-
mand for protection against
overflow, and their protest
against the board spending
any more money until they get
their share of protection, always
come out with their little bug-aboo,
the Mississippi River levee what
do We care about saving our feet
from being wet by the Mississippi
River and be drowned by the A,ch-
afalaya? Which is fact, our pro-
lection from the Mississippi River
does not prevent us TO drowned
from the Atchafalaya.
The argument advanced aud ill.,
sisted upon by some of these peo-
pie is simply ridiculous not to say
stupidity absurd. Why should
they not be satisfied with the Mis-
sissippi levees as they want us to
be, why have they built the Aicha-
falaya levee, the Latourche Levee,
the Lafourche dam. Why do they
want to close the Alabama bayou
and extend the levee on the east
side of the Atchafalaya river?
Their stupid argument of the
Mississippi levees are not in any
way concerning us.
We have never proclaimed one
word of protest against the levees
OF the Mississippi river, but we do
protest against any more of our
money being expended to extend
the levees, daming bayous and
building canals and locks on the
east side of the Atchafalaya and
protect that entire section that
lies between the Mississippi aud
Atchafnluya rivers extending as
far as Bayou Lafourche while that
entire section from the Courta-
bleau between the Atchafalaya RI
yer and Bayou Teche down to 81.
Mary parish is being yearly over
howeG, mud the more the leyees are
extended on the east side, the more
water We get Oh the west side of
the Atchafalaya, and the proposed
closing of the Alabama BAYOU
would simply finish us up.
notwithstanding these facts
some of those greedy, selfish fell
lows on the other side have the
audaclty 10 say we on the west side
are selfish aud persist in CRYING
out their stupid argument, Mis-
sissippi Levees."
