Colfax Concert Band in Melodrama.

The play of "Tony. the Convict y
given mt the court house last Satnr-
day night by the Colfax Concert
Band, was splendidly presented, and
the young ladies and gentlemen tax
ing part in it are greatly to be COM
plimented for their good acting.
This is one of Charles Townsend
most powerful melodramas, given
in five acts, and the big crowd who
witnessed its presentation enjoyed
the performance to the fullest ex tent.
The time OF the play was two hours
and half, fonrladies and seven gem
tlemen filling the cast of the eleven
interesting characters of the play.
The special costumes and scenery for
the presentation were tirst-class. and
altogether the play was given With
the skill OF professionals, the ladies
being especially effective in their act
ing.
The door receipts amounted to
$69.5O, leaving the band about $50
net to be applied on their new instru-
ments. They were SD successful with
their play that by general consent
it was decided to accept the invita-
ton of the Pollock band to go to
Pollock and reproduce the play there
Thursday night, to further increase
the bands fundsfo new instruments.
and give the citizens of our neighbor-
ing town n sample OF Colfax amateur
talent in the histriOnic line.
LATER.-Tbe boys returned home
Friday morning from their Pollock
trip, and report that while they had
a fair turnout they lost money on
the trip. Their expenses were about
$40, and the door receipts only
amounted to $3.50.

The Hardwood Mill and Barrel Factory.

A few weeks since lot of mill ma
chinery that for several months has
been lying by the switch near the
site of the proposed hardwood mill
on Capt. TeaPs place, was moved
away, and this has set "a lot of gossip
going about the proposed hardwood
mill at Colfax being abandoned.
The machinery referred to was never
intended for the proposed mill, being
too small to do the work contem-
plated. The prospective hardwood
mill for Colfax has not been ADAM
doned, but to the contrary, is just
now getting in good shape to begin
constructing operations. There has
been some delay in getting the order
for the machinery filed, but We are
reliably informed that the machinery
| for the mill has at last been secured,
and may be expected to arrive here
within the next few weeks.
Some changes in the plant as first
contemplated have been made. the
power of the machinery having been
increased, and an addition made to
it, so that in addition To saving
hardwood lumber, burrel slaves will
also he sawed and dry barrels will
be manufactured. We are glad to be
able to give our readers this enconr-
aging bit of news, and hope before
the summer is great deal Older to
have the pleasure of giving them an
extended account of the plant as its
building operations shall proceed.

One Thing to Harp on EternalIy.

There is one thing the newspapers
of New Orleans should harp on etern-
ally, when discussing that city as
the "logical point" to hold the
Worlds Panama Exposition, and
that is the pleasant temperature
that prevails in New Orleans all the
year round, particularly the low
temperature in midsummer. Nine
teen persons out of every twenty
away from New Orleans have an idea
that the midsummer temperature Of
that city is very hot, when az mat
ter of fact it is cooler and more conl-
Portable than at Memphis, st. Louis,
Cincinnati, and other northern cities,
during many days and nights of the
heated term.
Some years ago We remember the
Knights Templar of the United States
held big conceived in the city of New
Orleans about August 7th and 9Th.
and the pleasant balmy weather that
prevailed during the visit of the hun
dreds that came from northern cities
was II great surprise to them, and
was extensively commented on by
the newspapers of the whole country.
We see the Knights Templar are To
he invited To. visit New Orleans again
in 1913. The city boosters should
get busy, and hunt up the weather
record during the Templars' last
visit, and when the 200 Knights go
from Louisiana to Chicago in August
this year, let them all he posted on
this subject, and not fail to ring in
all the changes they can about Lou
jsiana weather, temperature. Gulf
breeZes, etc, and i'm presenting the
invitation to come to New Orleans,
it will be sure to be one of their best
drawing cards.
The city newspapers, as well as the
newspapers of the State at large, can
REINFORCE the logical point to a
very considerable extent by simply
publishing the official record of the
temperature at New Orleans, and it's
health reports as compared with
other cities. The occurrence of sun
stroke and prostrations from heat in
Louisiana are very rare in COMPARE
son with more northern States. and
the people of the country should be
made aware of the favorable condi-
tions that give almost entire free
dom here from the distress that pre-
walls during the heated term in so
many northern localities. Our sum-
mer is long, hut not so very hot.

the cultivation; his boy has not had

to the corn to get plant food, and
not to be pIowed up with a ten-inch
