officers worthy of the distinction; men
who will faithfully perform the duties
assigned to them by virtue of the offices
into which they are placed; brethren who
will promote the welfare of our institution,
preserve its reputation, and if possible,
increase the respect and esteem it enjoys
throughout the world.
Our Grand Lodge has been particularly
wise and fortunate in its selection, and
especially do we wish to commend it's
choice in the brother who is to preside
over its destinies for the present year.
The one who has been elevated to this
distinguished position is Bro. John Stanley
Thibaut, of Donaldsonville. member and
Past Master of Ascension Lodge No. 251.

advanced studies for three years. In
December, 1878, he entered the medical
department of the University of louisiana

In a cometitive examination he was chosen

Donaldsonville, where he continued the
practice of medicine unfit 1895, when he
was compelled to relinquish it through i'll
health.
But another field of activity opened up
for him. The medical profession lost a
painstaking and conscientious member
and the sick faithful and sympathetic
physician, but the financial world received
an accession through which the progress
and prosperity of the community has been
materially aided.

founded in Donaldsonville, and the board
of directors secured his services as cash.

When Yankee Doodle and Dixie" Meet.
In the upheaval precipitated by one of
the chiefs of the library of congress, in a
report as to whether Dixie" or Yankee
Doodle is the more popular, it has ap-
peared that both songs have their parti-
sans. These songs were sent in by nearly
the same number of people when the col
lection of music for Heart Songs was
being made. Abraham Lincoln re-
marked, after one of the Union victories
when Dixie" was being played by the
band that he loved to hear the song, be-
cause it was one means of capturing the
Confederates and winning their hearts
for the Union.
Yankee Doodle" will always be asso-
ciated with old colonial days, but Dixie
in the soft moonlight of southern night
has about it a witchery which is irresist-
ible.-National Magazine.

The Donaldsonville Chief and the Times
have effected a consolidation to take
effect April. Newspaper men are rapidly
learning everywhere that the amount OF
support any community can afford to
dive the newspapers has definite limit
and when the expense of the newspapers
exceeds that limit. the difference must
come out of the newspaper mems pockets.
The consolidation of The Chief and The
Times undoubtedly means better news
paper TO the people of Donaldsonville for
the same money. and an adequate return
to the men whose money is invested in
the newspaper. Louisianas newspapers
would attain higher rank and would be
more influential and beneficial in their
respective communities if the number
was decreased by fifty per cent. The dif~
ferent communities themselves would
find the decrease of benefit, for the man
who gets poor pay is going to do poor
work.-Lake Charles Americar-Press.

Democrat, for the fbliolFing naaeFaig
notice which appeared in last Saturday 5
issue of that paper:
s'The Times, which our popular and
esteemed young citizen, Alderman James
Won Lotten, owned and published with
such signal success for the last thirteen
years, issued its last number on the 26th
inst, and henceforth becomes amalga-
mated with the esteemed Donaldsonville
Chief, the nestor of Ascension journalism,
founded nearly half century ago by that
talented writer and magnetic orator, Hon.
Linden E. Bentley, now u. S. special dep
uty collector of the port of New Orleans.
The plant of The Chief will be moved
into The Times Building owned by Alder
man Won Lotten, opposite the postoff1ce,
and the paper in the future will be edited,
owned and published by Messrs. James
Won Lotten and G. Donnaud Bentley.
With such an able team pulling together
success is assured and the Democrat
re-echoing the kindly feeling of all
wishes the young Journalists unbounded
success. The successful publication of q
newspaper, is, according to many, regu-
lated by the laws of supply and demand
if the demand is great the paper lives
and fourishes.
THE consolidation therefore of two
newspapers like The Chief and The
Times, for which there has always beer
a great demand, presages for the editors
and owners a continuous success ant
triumphal future. Best wishes and goot
luck to the consolidation.

from Tuekerman by up, and Fownes
from Evans by 1 UP.

the matches today. proving a more

Evans had victory well within his
