A TRIP TO JACKSONVILLE.

The editor and the manager Of the
st. Tammany Farmer made hur-
ried trip to jacksonville Monday af-
ternoon, and while we only had time
| for attention to the business in hand
We met a few friends on the streets
and noted with pleasure that the gar
gardens and small farms around the
town are in fine order and show that
the people are taking more interest
in the production of vegetables for
the home table. Corn, especially
| looked fine. We understand that
plans are being made for the ship
ment of quantities of truck next
year.
Mr.. Pierson, of, the Madisonville
Bank, says that institution is doing
| an excellent business 1t is an evil
| dence of thrift among the people of
Madisonville that pay-days always
show large increase in deposits In
this way the bank has become a fac
tor of no mean Importance in Great
ing an independent condition among
the people, by encouraging the habit
of saving and teaching that Temporal
ry denial means future prosperity.
We had pleasant chat with Mr..
Dendinger at his place of business
and with Town Clerk Oulliber, and
we enjoyed the hospitality of Mayor
and Mrs. Octave Oulliber at their
coy cottage, where we were enter
tanned with songs and music by their
charming daughter, Miss Eugenia,
who shows remarkable proficiency in
piano performances for one of her
years. Miss Oulliber sang several
songs very prettily, and gave num-
Der of instrumental selections that
were much enjoyed. Mayor Oulliber
is one of those progressive citizens
who believe in up-to-date methods in
town affairs, and conducts his office
in manner to win the confidence
and respect of the people. He is also
an ardent believer in the agricultur-
al future of the parish, and he backs
up his confidence by having a field
of his own that is we'll planted and
cultivated.
jacksonville is the home of Mr..
Geo. Koepp, Jr., who has been hon
ored SO many years by repeated re-
election to the Office of president of
the parish Police Jury his recent
election having occurred while he
was unavoidably absent from the
meeting, and which was unanimous
expression of the confidence of the
MEMBERS that is endorsed by the peo-
pie generally.
The road between Madisonville
and Covington, over which he is SUI
pervisor, is being improved right
along and will soon be good auto
mobile road, but we notice railing
missing on one of the bridges that
should be replaced.
There is to be good game of
baseball Sunday If there is any
thing Madisonville is proud of, be-
sides her big mill interests and ship
building, it is her baseball team, and
she has very good reason to be SO,
for she has an excellent team.

in Court. | take this means, al
though the Mayor saw fit to find me
guilty, of letting my friends and the
public in general know that | am in
nocent, and can prove same to any
fair mminded person.
Very truly yours,
JAKE BIERI.

DISAPPOINTED IN PRICE OF
WOOL.

Much disappointment was express
ed by the wool growers at the small
price offered for wool at the sale last
Wednesday. The figures are much
less than had been anticipated, and
came as a surprise, being less than
was offered when they refused to en-
ter the market on July 18th. The
price then refused was 81 cents. At
this sale $4,000 pounds was bought
by the Jacob-Hass Co. for 20 1-6
cents. The growers had $4,000
pounds for sale. Some local buyers
of wool who paid 81 cents for it, are
holding over for a better price.
There were about $4,000 pounds
undisposed of.
