MOURNED SISTER IS FOUND.
Believed to Have Died At Sea, Mourning IS
Worn for Her. Work Of sChsmlnq Uncle.

Vicksbnrg, Miss, May 30.-Twenty
years ago Mrs. b. H. Holmes, of
Vicksburg. learned that her sister, a
young girl, now Mrs. sallie Powell,
had died while on a trip to Europe,
and that the dying girl had requested
that her body be buried at sea.
Never questioning The truth Of the
statement, which was made to her BY
an uncle, Mrs. Holmes wore mourn
ing for the accustomed time and sor-
rowed over the loss Of her sister.
Since then Mrs. Holmes has lived near
Chicago and in other places of the
country, but three years ago returned
to Vicksburg, the place of her birth
and her girlhood home. After this
long lapse Of years Mrs. Holmes has
just learned that her sister Is not
dead, but alive and in good health at
Cincinnati, Ohio.
The sister writes that a scheming
uncle, whowa guardian for the child
reD, manufactured the story Of the
death Of his charge while abroad.
This sister of mine. whom I feel
that / am getting back from the
grave said Mrs. Holmes yesterday,
is the only living relative | have on
earth, and / wrote asking her to come
and visit me. We will spend our re-
naming years Of life together.
Though | was overjoYed to hear the
news, I could not sleep a bit all last
night and cried till daylight" Mrs.
Holmes is now s~eventY-eight years Of
age. She lives on South Washington
street.

THEY ARE STILL
CARVING IMPERIAL
CALCASIEU
People Of Westlake Want to
Make Five Parishes Of
the Old One

Lake Charles, La, May 28,-Par-
ish division representatives from the
towns Of Kinder, DeRidder and Jen-
nings assembled here Friday and held
what was supposed to be an executive
session at the Majestic hotel. The
meeting lasted all day and when it
broke up many important matters had
been decided on. A proposition to
divide the parish into five parishes
instead Of four was considered. Rep
resentatives from west Of the Calca-
sieu headed BY E. A. Anderson Of
WestIake appeared before the com
mittee and asked that a new parish
be provided for to consist of the land
between the Calcasieu and the Sabine
and from the Cameron line to the
township line north of DeQuincey.
The new parish is to be called Brirn-
stone and will consist of a strip OF
territory fifteen miles wide and forty
miles long. The proposition was
agreed to and It was decided to pass
the Bruner bill first and then assist in
dividing what Of Calcaaieu remains.
The contention Of the parishes Of JEFF
Davis and Sanders over the boundary
line between them was settled BY 2
strip Of two miles south on the west
being added to Sanders and q like
amount on the east being taken of
and given to Jeff Davis. The con
cession places Elton in jeff Davis
parish.

The venerable Countess Of Cardi-
gar, the author, you know, Of that
wicked book Of memoirs, thinks the
modern girl is too athletic and hoi-
denish," said an English visitor to
New York.
The Countess Of Cardigan often
tells Of q young man who was drink
ing tea with q beautiful girl when her
little brother slipped into the room.
Mr.. M~annering,' the boy asked,
can you stand on your head?
No. said the visitor, laughing,

neatly in the corner.

Young men have of late years been
merely throwing kisses, which Of
course, no young lady with any by-
gienic sense ever caught for fear
that she might also catch something
else. The sweet oscillations that
waited the souls Of Romeo and Juliet
into dreamland were becoming but a
memory. Some intelligent gentle
man proved not long ago BY chemis-
try that Juliet never took any sleep
ing potion anyhow, and that she died
from the contraction Of germs which
she had obtained from Romeo, who
had been kissing one of her gloves
that he had aceidently found in the
trash pile. Be that as it may, the
fact remains that a hygienic reason
was found for the antagonism Of kiss
ing in the East.
we are glad to announce that the
SWANS can kiss all they want to now
without fear Of getting anything but
wives. Dr.. Worthington, Of the
Harvard Medical School, has declared
that there is every reason to believe
that when two wholesome persons
meet lip to lip, they break away with
out upsetting the bacterial balance"
To this we may add our own per-
sonal experience covering q wide
range and long experience. We say
emphatically and with absolute as
suranee- there is no danger what
ever.

Mr.. WIGGINS ROAD DRAG.
Town Talk has been sent by Mr.. NJ.
Z. Virgins, of Georgetown, La, seye-
raj pictures Of the road work done by
his road drag. There is also a picture
of the drag which was built by Mr..
Virgins, and which is being used by
G. 8. Bennett, road contractor for
the fifth ward Of Grant parish. Mr..
Virgins writes that for small con-
tracts and to build good roads the
drag does better work than a road
machine. Two mules do the work,
and it moves the dirt FIVE feet, and
pulverizes after it is pioVed. The
draw is made Of 2x12 oak for blades,
out s feet feet long with IL foot land
slide attached. The labor and ma
terial would cost not over $40. An
other picture sent by Mr.. Virgins
shows pieces of public road with two
burrows plowed in it before the drag
is used. and the section Of the finished
road is also shoWn.-Town Talk.

PROHIBITION DEFEATED.

New Orleans Pieayune: A change
Of public sentiment in the people Of
a state is to be expected from time
to time, but Il would be difficult TO
find anything more astonishing than
the reyulsion Of feeling that is por-
tended IN Alabama IL the political
complexion of the State Legislature.
An election has just now been held
there for members of that body, and
it is announced that Of the los mem-
bers Of the last body which enacted
Statewide prohibition and antfliquor
laws, only eleven have been re-elect-
ed, while the other 90 have been de-
feated. That means a most complete
and absolute change Of opinion.

FIRST COTTON REPORT
SHOWS Up WELL
Acreage Planted This Season Exceeds that Of
Last Year, According to Report
MOST OF IT UP TO STANDARD
Rains Have Been Highly Beneficial. Complaints
of Irregular Stands ID Louisiana
and Alabama

Memphis. Tenn, May 30.-The
Commercial-Appeal published today
the first cotton report Of the season.
1t is as follows:
Reports from correspondents of
the Gommercial-Appeal under the
date May %, show that the acreage
planted to cotton this Spring exceeds
that planted in 1909 about 3.2 per
cent. 1t is estimated that SO per
cent Of the total acreage comes up to
a standard Of this date, planting ex-
cept in isolated cases being completed.
Between May and May %, rains fell
in all cotton producing territory and
were highly beneficial, although a
comparative low temperature existed.
What is needed nov is dry weather.
LAND WELL PREPARED
The land was prepared we'll and
correspondents are of the opinion
that the crop will grow very rapidly
with warm weather, the moisture
supply for the present being abundant.
In all districts the crop improved
materially during the week preceding
May % The cold weather of late
April necessitated considerable re-
planting in the Atlantic States, Ala
bama and Louisiana, but this has
been completed and most of the cot
ton is up, although in these States
there are a few complaints of irreg-
ular stands. Although lacking a few
Of being as far advanced the crop
and field conditions compare f~avorably
with last year on an average. In the
States east of the Mississippi River
there has been an increase in
area planted to corn and a larger use
of commercial fertilizers.
ACREAGE REPORT BY STATES
The acreage report by States, with
the percentage of the cotton that has
come up is as follows:
North Carolina, increases per cent;

No Danger In Flat-Footed Kiss
ing.

Editor Sambo Jones, Of the Baton
Rouge New Advocate, can be relied
on every whack to stand for any
thing that is good and substantial.
And he knows a good thing when
he sees it, He's red headed, but that
doesn't matter a bit, nor does it in-
terfere with his popularity among
the fair ones.
Hence it is but natural to suppose
that Mr.. Jones should defend the
rapturous custom Of kissing-that IS,
buckle on his armor and join in with
a defender Of the custom.
Listen to him:
This may be a bad time to discuss
the art Of OSCILLATION. The town is
full of osculatorg subjects, the time
of parting near at hand, the weather
warm and gentle springtime still
nesting in the bowers and toying
with the surcharged zephyrs.
But the truth must be told. There
is no harm in it-that is, none SO far
as this scarecrow mierobe business is
concerned. One 81 our exchanges
frankly tells IS and with equal frank
ness conveys the news to our gallant
youths apd dinpled dsrlings Of the
gentler sex:
Until the microbe theory became
as prevalent as mosquitoes are in
New Jersey the only danger in kiss
ing was in getting caught. Many .
couple kissed and forgot all about it,
nor was it considered necessary in
such cases Id the old days TO summon
the family physician to gently battle
tie mouth and Wipe from the lips
every vesti9e Of the imprint Of other
lipa. However. with the advent Of
germieides and germs there arose il
this country a feeling against kissing.

TO Kill House Flies

The following receipt has high au-
thority for killing the house fly:
70 q pint Of water use two tea
spoonfuls Of formalin Or formaldehyde,
placed n saucers or plates around
the house. It has DO offensive odor, is
fatal TO disease organisms and is
practically noR-poisohous except to
insects. Ten cents worth Of formal.
dehyhe will last all summer. Practi.
cal experience has taught US that
a little sugar OF syrup sprinkEed on
the edge Of the plates will attract
the flies, and as they are thirsty in
ects the water viii soon have the op-
portanity TO fulfill it's purpose.

THE VOICE OF THE JITG.

Delhi Banner: Some learned indi-
vidual has discovered that by holding
a jug three inches from the lips and
singing into it, the sound produced
will be similar to that of a phono-
graph. 1t has been demonstrated
many times in Delhi that d jug held
three inches closer will produce more
sounds than a dozen phonograph
horns and bag pipes all in unison.
