A SCHOOL FAIR.

On Saturday August Is, 1910, the
patrons and pupils of Pleasant Grove
School District assembled at the
school house bringing with them the
products Of the land, natural and
manufactured, for the purpose of an
all day celebration and fair.
BY eleven O'Clock all were ready
for the contest. Cakes, jams, jelles,
potatoes, corn, chickens, hogs, etc,
had been placed in readiness for the
blue and red ribbons.
After the premiums were awarded,
long table laden with jams, pre-
serves, jellies, fried chicken, and the
many other good things that accom-
pany such feast, was spread in the
school yard. All then began to en-.
JOY one of those ieasts which only
Pleasant Grove people and friends
know how to spread. After the din
ner hour was passed, school was
called to order by the teacher, Miss
Port,us.
A short and we'll rendered program
was then delivered by the school,
followed by short talks by Professors
| Johns and Witten. All then depart
ed to their homes trusting that this
display may be an annual affair in
this district.
Miss Pontius and pupils deserve
great credit for the success Of this
undertaking.

c. N. Mitchell, of Gladstone, who he
accompanied home for work in the
south part Of the county for the Con-

prohibition.
The flies in the Democratic oint-
ment appear to be Shannon, Reed,
Stone and Phelps. Take Repub-
lican's advice, and vote for d. K.
Francis for U. S. Senator, and you
will make no mistake. Our interest
is to see the best man win in either
party, then which ever may secure the
prize we have the best.

That Chapter House.

There are so many Of our people
who cannot understand why any one
should do anything for their county,
town, or neighbor, unless there is a
graf. in it, they are rather skeptical
about the American Woman's Leagne
Chapter Houses, and feel it in their
bones that those pushing the matter
arc doing it for the dollars TO be
made, and not altogether for the
good OF mankind.
The members Of Versailles Chap
ter of the American Woman's
League, "a in number, have paid for
their memberships, and are now en-
titled to a $500 Chapter House just
as soon As they can give a clear title
to the lot. The lot has been secured
by Albert Taylor, and the next thing
is to pay for it. The building. which
will be an ornament to our city, will
be primarily for the benefit Of the
Chapter members, and for the mem
bcrs Of other Chapters who may visit
Versailles. 1t will be headquarters
for the social and educational ad-
vancement Of all the people Of YER
sailles and surrounding community
who may be 80 fortunate a. to hold
membership, and its doors may be
thrown open to all our social societies
for gatherings Of all kinds. The mem
bers are already in $500 each, and
for the benefit to be received, the
citizens outside Of the Chapter SHOULD
be more than willing to pay for the
lot. Why not get in on a good thing
like this and help boost.

New Industry Proposed BY rAXSOn

J. X. Wallace called on the Herald
last Tuesday with a proposition to
start a new industry in the town. He
had with him a plant which had grown
from the seed during the last two
months, and which had reached the
height of almost twelve feet, without
anv cultivation. His idea is to de.
yelop the stock by thorough cultiya'
| ton, and use the body for hrewOOd,
while he thinks the fibre can be manu-,
featured into rope and binder twins
The seeds are Of good size and are
thought to contain a good per cent of
indigo, as it belongs to that family Of
plants. This sample was produced on
one of the vacant lots belonging to
Mr.. r. II. VIM, and Mr.. Wallace
states that on abOnt two acres belong.
ing to Mr.. VIM, there are lots that
show a good growth of the plant. The
most familiar name for the plant is
"coffee weed" and there is an un.in-
forced ordinance In Lake Arthur,
prohibiting the raising of the weed
within the corporate limits.
Arthur Herald.
There are others who might enter in
to the same or similar industries, as
there are number of vacant lots in
Welsh that have magnificent crops,
not only OF coffee weeds, but cockel
burs and numerous other weeds. So
intent have some of our citizens be.
come upon the production OF this class
OF vegetation, that they are permitting
them to cover the vacant places of
their lots in the heart of the business
section of town, white others seem to
begrudge the space occupied by the
sidewalks and are permitting the weeds
TO cover them up as far as possible.

Daily Rains Perpetuate the Mosquito
SC0urge.

This section of the state CONTINUES
TO be visited by daily downpours Of
rain. which keeps the bayous we'll ous
of their banks ano large surface Of
water standing on the ground. which
furnishes breeding place for the un.
told millions of mosquitoes that are
proving veritable scourge to tho
gulf coast region.
While this region has been visited
in the past with swarms of these
pests, it has only been for short peri.
DDS at a time, the hot sun or northern
winds soon drying them away or
killing chem. but the unusual rains OF
the present time are permitting their
to such an extent that
in place of their remaining for few
days as heretofore, they art ever in.
crsasing in numbers. Although they
are a great annoyance to humanity
it is possible for them to escape the
most OF their ravages, while with live
stock, which cannot be protected, they
are occasioning untold suffering and
large amount of loss.
The only hope for an improvement
in the present conditions, seems to DO
IN north wind or a cessation OF the
rains.
