Goldman, La, Nov. IA, 1910.
Friday afternoon brought to a
close a most delightful hunt and
house-party given by Mr.. and Mrs.
David F. Miller at the Gladevale
Hunting Club near Tensas River.
Those enjoying their hospitality
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Dalton Wat
son and children, Mr.. and Mrs. E.
l.. Collins, Misses Sallie Ratcliff of
Vidalia, Julia Clarkson and Emmie
Briscoe.
Mr.. E. l.. Collins was the only
lucky deer hunter, bringing in a
fine buck Monday, but there was no
scarcity Of smaller game. Wild geese,
ducks and squirrels were in abund-
arce. Mrs. Watson proved to be
the champion duck hunter, bring
ing down thirty in all.
The weather was delightful and
nothing was left undone that could
have added to the pleasure of the
party. It was with many regrets
that we babe farewell to our host
and hostess and departed for our
respective homes.

The Baton Rouge corresponds

The Baton Rouge correspondent
Of the Picayune says: THE first
case of hog cholera was reported
from st. Joseph. and, by a strange
coincidence, from the place of Geo.
Clinton, representative from Tensas
parish. and the father Of the meas
ure establishing the hog cholera
tation, This was the first work
lone by the station for the preven-
ton Of the spread of hog cholera
among the hog raisers of the State.
The station is not quite ready to get
the serum from the infected hogs
which it has, but was able to get
the supply for the Tensas outbreak
from the United States Government.
DR.. Flower, secretary of the State
Sanitary Live Stock Board, which
has charge Of the work, sent a
representative to st. Joseph to in
oculate the hogs that had been ex-
posed. The cholera station here will
be able in few days to supply Sc
rum from the hogs that have been
inoculated.

THOUSANDS TO SEE CIRCUS.


Tensas parish will no doubt be well
represented at Natchez on Friday, No
vember Is, when the Great Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Bros Big United Shows
exhibit there. A great many from this
town and surrounding country have made
up their minds to go. The railroad is
offering a special rate of one and third
rate for round trip, which means $500
from st. Joseph to Natchez and return.
A glance at the list of artists and the
wonderful curiosities to be seen this sea-
son with this big show leads one to be-
lieve that the limit of tremendous size as
well as novelty has at last been reached.
Great interest also attaches to the show
because it comes this year, after an alb
sence of several seasons, with the most
costly outfit ever built by any amuse-
ment enterprise in the world. Ten acres
of ground will be under canvas. There
will be a menagerie such as was never
seen in this country in the past. The pa
rade cost the circus kings over 81 ,0OO,-
600. What more can be said?
Everybody from six to sixty knows
this great circus. Its name is the symbol
of honor and generosity. 1t has always
kept faith with the public. 1t has offered
more for the money than any other tent
ed show that ever toured the country.
This year it is still better. 1t is giving
even a greater show than it ever did.
The admission fee is still the same.
The wonderful sixty-one horse act is
in itself great enough attraction to
bring people from radius of 100 miles
TO see it. The aerial spectacle offered by
the Ty-Bel sisters is even more wonder.
full. The acrobats, the riders, the aerial.
lists, the gymnasts and the equilibrists are
the pick OF the best European talent.
There are fifty clowns. They come from
the comic opera theatres of Europe and
the courts Of Asiatic potentates. Every
man among them is an artist, funny
enough to make mule laugh.
Hereis the opportunity of lifetime fol-
those who love pure and wholesome en-
tertainment and don't care how much
they get of it. There is fun for the mil
lions. The performances now being Civ.

have delighted al! the large cities. TIT
metropolitan home of the show is the
great Madison Square Garden in New
York City, where this is considered thu
most popular and the best circus in al

DEATH OF JUDGE WADE \. HoUGn.

Judge Wade H. Hough, in days
past a prominent figure in the po-
litical arena of Concordia and Ten
sas parishes, but who removed from
this district many years ago, died
at his home in Lake Charles on
Monday morning at the advanced
age of SO years.
In the radical days, before the
Republican power was broken in
this State, Judge Hough was elect
ed Judge of the old Ninth Judicial
District, composed of the parishes
of Concordia and Tensas, and made
an able jurist. Upon the return OF
Democracy to its own, in 1884
Judge Hough was succeeded on the
Bench by Judge S. c. Young OF
St. Joseph. Upon his retirement
from Office Judge Hough resumed
the practice of law, but did not re-
main long in Vidalia, which had
been his home for many years and
where he had reared a large family
Among his children were men and
women prominent in many walk:
| of life, most of whom, however
have preceded him to the grave
In 1892 Judge Hough, then {
resident of Caldwell parish, aligned
himself with the Third or Peoples
Party" composed largely of thu
Idisaffected from the ranks of othel
parties and factions then prominen
| in the political life Of the State. II

paign of that year this new politi
cal organization essayed to nomi
mate a State ticket with one Tan

was honored with a place on tn
ticket and was named for Attorne.
General. The ticket, however, oc
cupied a hopeless position at tn
lend of the race, and the organiza
ton soon went to pieces.
| Judge Hough came from lon
land honored line and was nephew
and name-sake of General Wad
Hampton, one Of the South's great
est men. He was man OF stron
character and OF great persona
courage and was a lawyer and juris
of unusual ability. He has yet il

friends who will regret to learn c
his death.
