One brother-in.law said: III he had

worrying about the 500 he owes me,
but I'll bet you If owed anybody 500
they'd make my life misery till they

A friend: "A man must either have

Poor Binney. as 1t happens, has
neither"
second friend: How much will
he be able TO pay? twenty-five cents

A third friend: "Ninety.fve per

of Mr.. Luke BONN, the fire had

assistance and good work put out
the fire with light damage. Now
is the time we have to be constant
ly Oh the look for just such fires.
When the roofs, shingles, are dry
and the wind strong, a spark will
start a fire. But the main danger
is in defective f1ues. bad chimneys,
and particularly tile f1ues going
through ceilings and .hingle
roofs. The town authorizes should
pass fiue ordinance and enforce
it. Defective flues that cost only
a few cents and little labor 10

worth thousands of dollars. Ths

Road DraSs A Success.
Assumption Pioneer.

Mr.. Henry Dupre, the parish
road ovsrseer, worked two road
drags on the streets of the town
yesterday, aud it is surprising what
good work can be done with these
drags. Mr.. Dupre ,:alls the drags
the Kock Drags, because MIR. Jas.
P. Kock, of Belle Alliance is the
ono who first used and introduced
this drag in this section of the
State. 1t is not the split log drag.
which the National Government so
strongly recommends and those
who have worked the split log, say
that the Kock Drag is al improve
ment.
The new drag makes a perfect
road if used immediately following
a rain. It scrapes down the ruts,
fills the holes and leaves a road as
smooth as glass. 1t can be pulled
by two mules aud a long stretch
of road can be covered in a short
time. Mr.. Dupre is having seve-
raj of these drags buiIt, aud he be.
lieves that it is possible by start
ing his three road men 10 work af-
ter a rain, to cover the entire pub
lie road on each side OF the Bayou
