ORDINANCE NO. 112.

An ordinance relative to the deplor-
able condition of the New Orleans
and Northeastern railroad depot at
Slidell, and authorizing the at
torney to Institute proceedings be-
lore the Louisiana railroad COM
mission to compel the New Or
leans and Northeastern railroad
company to build suitable depot
and improve the undesirable con-
dition.
Whereas, It appears that the New
Orleans and Northeastern railroad
depot at this place is old and entire
~ inadequate for the need of the
pubic and the volume of business
done therein; and whereas. the de-
plorable condition in and around said
depot has injured the business of
the town and been detrimental to the
welfare and safety Of the citizens of
Slide1l and the travelling public: and
whereas, the demands of the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen have hereto
lore been ignored by the officials of
the said railroad company, now
therefore:
Be it ordained by the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen of the Town of
Slldell, in regular session convened.
that E. Elmo Bollin.er, town at
torney Of the town of Slidell, is here
by instructed, empowered and au-
thorized to proceed to institute pro-
ceedlngs before Louisiana railroad
eomission against the New Orleans
and Northeastern railroad company
to compel them to erect a suitable
depot within the corporate limits of
the town of Slidell, and to remedy
the deplorable conditions that exist
around the present depot.
Be it further ordained that this
ordinance shall go into effect immedi-
ately upon and after it's passage.
Adopted September 9, 1910.

board has leased the old KNIGHTS of
Phyphias hall which will be convert

enrolment has considerably passed
the 800 mark, and is steadily in
creasing.

Personal and Local
A LOST PARTY.

Saturday evening Mrs. John Col.
troa, Master Frank Coltora and
guests, Misses May, Lillian and Eta
Maloney took trip, via buggy, to
jacksonville. After spending a
pleasant evening In this little burg,
the party started home at D. M,
safely making the road until the in
tersection of the Turnpike and Madi-
sonville roads, when, being over
taken by dark, they became confused
and refused to be guided by the like
intelligence and instinct of "Nigger, -
the famous race trotter owned by
Mr.. John Coltora. Turning in the
Turnpike they drove on a distance
of eight miles, arriving at the dark
recess of Beef's Head Branch. The
ladies, desperate with fright, heard
the sound of human voice from the
deep thicket, when the calls for
help! help" were responded to by
Murray, who was on his way through
the lonely thicket to visit a sick
friend. With his assistance the party
reached the right road, after a long,
tedious drive. Nearly frantic with
fright they reached Covington about
1890 p. m. and allayed the anxiety
Of all relatives and friends who were
anticipating the speedy organization
OF search party" to scour the
woods. All were we'll, only a little
upset over such a thrilling expert
ence of four long hours lost on a
lonely road.

WORK Of UNION AND
SCHOOL LEAGUE

The knockers of this town say
it is dead. 1t may be as to men
and knockers, but it certainly ism t
as to women.
Do you know that the femininty of
this same old town raised over $1,000
last year for school improvements
fire department, park improvement
and civic advertising? Well, they
did; and they are going to do as
much again this year.
The School Improvement League
held its annual meeting on Friday
last and showed a splendid record
of what it had done during
the past term-it had raised $537
and spent much of It in filing
up the gaps in the necessities
of the school and it's work.

FROM C. M. LIDDLE.
Detroit Beautiful-A Great Country
Rich Farmers-Peaches and
Cream-No Mosquitoes.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. Is, 1910
Editor Farmer.
! After a one hundred mile auto
with my kind kin, / left that city
in overcoat weather last Monday or
the Niagara Falls express, arriving
in Detroit the same evening. The
| following day l was delightfully."- en-.
tertained by the insurance company
for which l am agent.
To those. who may think Detroit
| small town, l will say it is nearly
double the population of New Or
leans. 1t is the cleanest city I've
ever seen. 1t has more automobile
factories than all other parts of the
country combined. Has also several
largest other factories in the world
stoves, ranges, drugs, etc. Canada
is opposite and across the Detroit
River. Some of the Lake Erie
steamships are as large as the ocean
vessels at New Orleans. There are
ten different steamship companies
and commerce is immense. / saw
more peaches on the wharves than l
ever dreamed of or saw in my life.
l have the privilege of going to
Buffalo, 800 miles across Lake Erie
on a million dollar steamship. 1 ex-
pect to be at the big Michigan State
Fair and Exposition next week-but
not on exhibition.
Now as to observations, l find that
Slideli is years behind the procession
of progress. Many of the small
towns up here have paved streets,
cement side walks and brick or stone
school houses; also nice railroad
stations with little parks or shrubs
around them. Our rich railroads 60
ing into Slidell ought to be ashamed
OF the depot there. My home town
ought to shine up and file off some
Of the ragged edges. Many years
asD the people up here quit letting
George do it," Again, the little
town of Jerome where l am to stay
week, has been dry" for three
years, has no jug trade, no blind
tiger, no, marshal. 1t has brick and
stone school house.
Farm labor is two dollars a day
with board, and the doctors charge
but one dollar visit with medicine
included.
But this is far different people
and country than ours Farms,
farm, farms, everywhere, and wheat,
oats, buckwheat, corn, potatoes, ap-
pies, grapes and peaches the princi-
pal crops. Numbers of farmers have
automobiles and l haven't seen a
Texas pony or scrub stock in all my
travels. This is the place for Aiken
and Luther to come and get rich.
To me, the weather see best
I've ever met-near frost this morn
ing. Had a ten mile drive into the
country to one of the summer lake
resorts, where I hal black bass and
peaches and cream for dinner.
When in Chicago, l bought a
paper-regular Sunday size, one
hunderd and sixteen pages It was
bum, as | did not find a Slidell
item in it. Have not seen a New
Orleans paper since leaving home
and | am just little bit homesick
for Louisiana and Mississippi hot air
stories. Can't even see a skeeter.
At Kalamazoo lots of passengers
came on the train with branches of
the celery that has made Kalamazoo
famous.
At battle Creek l did not see Mr..
Corn Flake Kellogg or Postum
Cereal Post. There's a reason.
Good bye-be home soon.

A TCHEFUNCTA SAIL.

Sunday evening a jolly party com.
posed of Mrs. John Coltora, Master
Frank Coltora, Capt. Chas. Jenkins
and wife, Misses Lillian, May and
Eta Maloney and Capt. Coltora,
boarded the pretty launch, Lillian, to
view the beauties of nature along
the picturesque shores of this famous
Indian stream to its outlet at Lake
are found the handsome residences
of many prominent Louisiana fami-
lies. Stopping at Pineland, the
were greeted with pleasure yachts
and parties galore. Here on the
high bank is the uprising of a grand
hotel which is being erected by Mr..
Charles jenkins, prominent Gov
ington contractor. This grand build
ing is the property of Mr.. Joseph
Hyland, well known citizen of New
Orleans, and public spirited gentle
men. His desire is to afford ample
facilities to outside people who wish
to spend while in the piney king
dom, where hunting, fishing and
boating can be enjoyed. The pros
pective finding of oil, which is posi-
lively assured, will enchance the
yaule of property in St. Tammany
Parish.
Thoroughly enjoying the beautiful
scenery, the party stopped at the
quaint town of jacksonville, where
there are large lumber mills and ship
yards. Messrs. Jahnke, Oulliber and
Dendinger operate the largest ship
yards in this section. These are ad-
mirably situated in close proximity
to Lake Ponchatrain. Farther on
ward the party anchored on the
sandy shores to while away the pass
ing hours, catching fish, moving
picture snaps and bathing in the
briny swells. AS the closing hours
of the day Warned us that it was
time to leave, each steered home
ward with a happy heart.
