Last week we were misinformed by the
Cotton Belts agent in this place and an
nouneed that there would be some slight
change in the time of the local trains. 1t
Il IS true, however, that he was officially no.
titled Of change in schedule to take effect
the past Sunday. He learned later that it
effected only l.. and A., trains, which are
operated out of Shreveport over the Cotton
Belts tracks, which explains why advance
d notice was furnished the Cotton Belts
agents on the Shreveport branch.

respected resident of the Rocky Mount
community died at his home on the 9th

Of that term. He will be sadly missed

cents OF this parish, the other lives near
