The Independent Order Of Beavers

ousas, and Supreme Organizer Geo.
G. thinner, Of Atlanta, and MI. r. ID.
0'Farrell, Of New Orleans, have ar
rived in the city to begin the work Of
building the Dam.
The Beaver is not an insurance or
assessment order; it is q social, fra
ternal, benevolent organization, work
ing for human kindness, and at the
same time enjoying social and club
features.
The Beavers have club rooms
wherever they are located, for the
benefit Of the members and their
transient friends, and frequently give
smokers and various entertainments
Of like character.
Beaverton stands for trite, practi-
cal ideas, unique and original. Among
some Of the high principals Of Bea-.
verdom are:
The maintaining and promotion Of
good citizenship.
To prevent miscegination in order
to preserve the purity Of the white
race.
To give annually an outing to the
poor children Of the community
The Beavers have d hot initiation.
known as The trip through the
muddy waters mirthfnl to the ex-

ever, one advantage Of being q charter
member IS that they DO not have to
undergo this initiation.

Calcasieu rice planter, was III town
this week, spending several days with

that section, he reports, Is fairly

salt water, and some Of the fields
were visited BY it, but as d whole
there was not so much damage done.

3-MONTH-OLD CHILD
DROWNED in BATH
TUB.

Pine Prairie, Aug. 10.-Your cor
respondent regrets to learn Of the
sad misfortune which befell Mr.. and
Mrs. AVna Johnson, at Turkey Creek,
in which they loss their 13-months
old child in a tragic manner. The
parents were sitting on the front
porch, while the baby was on the
back porch. In some manner it got
into a tub of water, and when found
was drowned.
VIZ are getting too much rain for
the crops, and the saw mill men can
not handle their timber and lumber
well. But they are still going ahead
through the mud and rain.
Many drummers have been Pine
Prairie visitors this week, and they
seem to all be selling goods.
Mr.. Bibins, Of the Jennings Oil
Field, was prospecting here this week.
in the interest Of the Haywood Oil
Go.
The Miles Mineral Go. people seem
to have got a salt water well, and
are now drilling on well No. 2. Hope
they will have better luck.
Mr.. B. L. Fontenot, our hustling
merchant, is now in bis large new
store.
Near one year ago we voted 8
school tax ID this school district, and
not even building site has been pro-
cured, much less a building. VI should
have everything in readiness for this
coming session. All talk and no
work is the old way to educate. Let's
be more modern.
The baseball game between Pine
Prairie and Chioot was postponed on
account Of the rain, until the 21st.
The game between Pine Prairie and
Reddell was also postponed until the
18th, for the same reason.

VOTED RAILROAD TAX.
LoFeauVIlIe VIII GET the WEIGH Road From
ReW iberia 10 Port Barre.

New Iberia, La, Aug. 9.-Loreau-
vile, in the Fourth Ward Of this par
ish, has distinguished herself to-day
ii voting a tax Of $4,000 in favor
Of the New Iberia, st. Martin and
Northern Railroad, running from
New Iberia to Port Barre, a distance
Of forty-fve miles The. voting Of
this tax assures the building Of the
road, which has its contractors and
working outfits now at work and I'M
der bond to have the roadbed ready
for rolling stock bY Jan. |, 1910.
This opens up al immense territory
which has long been without tran
sportation facilities other than the
Bayou Teche, which is naYigable only
for very light-draft boats at this
points. This road will connect with
the Frisco-Rock Island and Texas
and Pacific systems, thus giving di-
rect communication with ST. Louis.
This result is owing to the efforts Of
3. N. WEIGH, the interchangeable pre-
sident Of the road, who has been at
work for two years to secure the
construction Of this line.

agreed 10 be married TO him. It was
agreed between them beforehand il
would be impracticabIe for them to
dwell together On account Of the
contrary requirement of their health.
Everything was plainly understood
between them, when. on July Is, Cap
tain Sawyer came up from Florida
on a fast train and vent with his
brothers widow TO the home of
Recorder Cadmus, in No. 35 Benson
Street. Bloomfield, where they were
married. The brides daughter and

MARRIED BROTHERS. WIFE
Captain Sawyer Wants to Pro-
tect Her From PriYati0n.

New York, Aug. ga strange
story lses behind the marriage Of
Captain Nathan o. Al. Sawyer, OF
Jacksonville, Fla, and Mrs. Clara s.
Sawyer, Of BelleYille, N. j., which,
though It took place on July 25 last,
was not publicly announced until yes
terday, when the wedding certificate
was filed il the Bureau Of Vital
Statistics in BeIleyille by Recorder
Camdus, Of Bloomfield, who had united
the couple.
No ordinary motive impelled the
bridegroom to che union Of himself
with his brothers widow. His sole
purpose was to leave bis fortune to
the woman who had won his unseIdsh
admiration BY her conduct when his
brother was alive and BY her devotion
to bis brothers memory. He wanted
to feel, no matter what happened,
that his brothers widow, the woln-
an his brother loved SO dearly, should
never suffer, either on her own or
her childs account, any Of the priva-
tions that sometimes come with old
age.
Captain SaWyer's health is such he
cannot live in q Nothern climate.
His brides health forbids her living
IN the South. So the old couple
must dwell apart. Captain Sawyer
is SO years of age. His bride, the
widow Of Leverett Sawyer, is SIS.
The captain was q boy in Massachu-
sets when the Civil War began. He
enlisted and fought throughout the
great conflict. AT the close of hos
tilities he settled in Jacksonville, and
has since prospered III the railroad
business. His brother, Leverett,
married Miss Clara Ripley, and died
thirty-three years ago. He left a
widow and one daughter, Bertha r.
Sawyer. They settled in BelleYiIle,
whore they have lived for d long time
in No. Z Dewitt Avenue.
Captain Sawyer and his brothers
widow have visited each other occa-
sionally, but were never able to be
much in each Others society, because
neither could stand the climate where
the other lived. Realizing be was
growing old, Captain Sawyer became
anxious for The welfare Of bis broth
ers widow. She had been d loving
and faithful wife to one he MAS very
close to, and he did not want to have
ta feel she would ever be in any dan-
ger of privasian. Captain Sawyer

Winchester, Va, Aug. 1.-THE
great cornfelds of northern Virginia
are burning up. The severest drought
Of years is prevailing, and for more
than six weeks, little, If any rain has
fallen IN the Shenandoah and Page
Valleys. Streams are lower than for
years and many are dry. The corn
crop will be almost a total failure,
while all growing crops are cut short.
Should the drought prevail much
longer the apple crop, which gave
fine promise, will be seriously affected.
Thousands Of dollars have already
been lost to the farmers and each
day the loss increases.
The railroads are seriously troubled,
hay fields being set on FIRE by passing
locomotives and valuable property
menaced.
