L. Il. q n. Changes Schedule.

The Louisiana Railway and
Navigation Company, through the
Office of General Freight and Pass
enger Agent E. G. d. Marshall has
announced complete change in
its passenger service, says the
Shreveport Times.
According to the new time card,
which becomes effective on June
20, the Valley proposes to operate
night train from Shreveport to
New Orleans, which will replace
the present day train. The new
service shows the trains departure
from Shreveport at $50 p. M. ar
irving at Alexandria at ll:25,
Bayou Sara 4:16 a. m, Baton
Rouge at 5:28 a. M, and New Or
leans at 1886 o'clock.
The New Orleans train leave s
that city at $40 p. m, reaches
Baton Rouge at 9:2S, Bayou Sara,
lG:35; Alexandria $40 a. m. and
Shreveport at $40 a. N. These
trains will take the place of the
present through day trains and
will make connections with the
Kansas City Southern Dude, the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas day
train, the Houston and
Shreveport and the Cotton Belt.
Pullman cars will be operated aud
all indications point to this new
service placing the Valley in posi-
ton to compete for the New Or
leans business in a most active
manner. The new trains at the
same time enable people from the
central part of the State to come
to Shreveport, spend the entire
day in the city and return home
that evening.
In addition to the through train
the run from Winfield will be 80
arranged as to make connection
with the Shreveport-New Orleans
service, while short run from
New Orleans to Baton Rouge will
be operated, making it possible to
leave New Orleans in the morning
spend the day i'll Baton Rouge and
return to The city that same even
ing. The new time card will be-
come effective ON June 20.

A gloom of sadness was was cast
over our little town when the mes
sage came telling of the death of
Lawrence Mccain, who died of
tuberculosis, at Lono, Texas, June
9th. Lawrence was born and
raised in Montgomery, and was in
his thirty fourth year. Although
for several years his home had
been elsewhere, he was still one of
"our boys" He was a young man
of sterling character, possessed
fine business qualities, and being
of social aud affible disposition
he numbered his friends by scores.
He was member of several fra
ternities. He had been III the
North La. Sanitarium for three
months, but his brother, DR.. Eu-
gene Mccain, of Refregio, Texas,
carried him to Lono thinking be
might be benefited. When told
he could not live more than week
longer, he expressed himself as
willing and ready to meet his Saw
ior, and when the messenger came
Lawrence went sweetly and peace
fully to sleep. Many floral tri-
butes were carried by friends and
a large wreath and cross composed
of pink roses, white chrysanthe-
nuns, pink and white carnations
were sent by friends from New
Orleans. His mother, three broth
ers, Eugene, Ralph and Clyde, and
two sisters, Mrs. Stella Graves, of
Bastrop, and Mss Carrie, we're
present, Mrs. Walter Nelson,
of Arkansas, being unable to come.
The funeral took place from the
Methodist church Tuesday even

renee was laid to rest besides his
father, two brothers aud little sis
