Personal Mention.

The many friends of Mrs. Kate
Beard of Kingston will be glad to
hear that she is improving from the
recent severe accident that was at
first thought TO be serious. Mrs.
Beard fell with great force in going
from her gallery steps into the yard,
rendering her helpless. The accident
caused her family great alarm. The
family physician and consulting
physicians who have been in con-
slant attendance are now assured
that the injury is not serious, al
thought she may be confined to the
bed for several weeks yet. Mrs.
Beard has the devoted attention OF
her daughter, Mrs. Corinne B. Scott,
assisted by other relatives and
friends. News of Mrs. Boards con-
dition is received daily by her
nieces, Misses Claudia and Isabel
BilIiu of this city, who have been
deeply concerned about their aunts
painful accident.
Mrs. Rebekah Ellison Johnson,
who underwent a serious operation
for appendicitis last week, has inn
proved so satisfactorily that she has
been removed from the Schumpert
Memorial to her home at Gladstone.

Pretty Homes in st. Tammany.

Covington abounds in pretty
homse. Rutland cottage with its hos

hold-Miss Lucille Rutland, the gift
ed writer, and her sister, Miss Alice
Martin, teacher of experience and
ability give welcome to friends from
the city and far away who find rest
and enjoyment in its serene atmos-
phere. Mrs. Rutland enjoys her big
garden. She plants seed or a root
with faith and they flourish. A row
of the priced veti-vest whose roots
have the odor of violets makes a
green hedge along the back garden
fence. Oaks and pines shade the
front. Orange and lemon trees, grape
fruit and Japan plums are found on
the ample grounds. In the early
morning may be seen the mistress
with the hoe" who does not bend
and bow with the weight of woe, y
but who goes to her self-appointed
task with gladness because she loves
nature and the soil. Miss Rutland's
pen is always busy. A poem or a
sketch is never difficult for her to
produce. Miss Rutland is expecting
a visit in September from the gifted
pianist and composer, Miss Harriet
Ware.

Summer Travel.


Things generally encountered in
summer railway travel are dust, Gin
ders, and stuffy cars. These things
are so common that the travelling
public suffers and goes on. But
when a delightful surprise comes in
the nature of cool, clean, comfort
able cars and good service generally,
one feels like praising the bridge
that carries him safely over. The L.
r. & N. railway deserves this praise
and it comes from passengers who
made the trip from Shreveport to
New Orleans during the recent hot
SPELL The beautifully clean Pullman
with electric fans at each end of
the car, comfortable berths with
electric lights and call bells, was
somewhat luxurious, and quite rare
on Southern roads. There was a
feeling of real comfort in turning
into the inviting berth, and a feeling
of joy on going to the dressing room
and finding clean lavatory, clean
towels and space to move about
comfortably. These dressing rooms
are usually mere inches where you,
per force, must plant yourself and
move your arms automatically up
and down because you can not move
them outward, but they need not be,
las has been demonstrated.
The service in every respect over
the i. r. & N. is excellent, and the
trip from North Louisiana to the
gulf over this road a delightful one,
because the wants of the travelling
public are really considered.

If people would only believe it, we
have health resorts in Louisiana
where the summer can be spent
comfortably, where at least the con-
ditiOns of air free from malaria and
water free from impurities can be
had, and at a moderate cost. This is
true of Covingtou. pretty town IN
the pine woods of st. Tammany par
ish. about sixty miles north Of New
Orleans.
We were in Covington during the
hot days this month when the mer-
curry ran high in places north, east,
and west. IT was summer heat III
Coyington of course, but not uncom-
Portable. The nights were cooled by
gulf breezes, and the air noticeably
refreshing early in the morning and
late in the evening, with the breath
of the pines, the life giving ozone
being as abundant in the Louisiana
forest as it is around Asheville, N. G.
In the Louisiana ozone belt typhoid
fever is unknown, while in the
mountains of North Carolina it /;
prevalent.
Louisianians have but recently
come to know these things. As soon
as they fully realize the benefits OF
such a place as Covington large
number of cottages will be built in
and around the town for summer
rest and recreation. Many New Or
leans people own summer homes in
Govintgon. Judge King has beauti-
full cottage, so has Mr.. Landry, Miss
Kate Eastman, May Lyons and 9TH
ers who live in New Orleans.
Govington has population of 35O(
and is steadily growing. When the
projected bridge across the lake
from Vaudeville to West End the
great pleasure place of New Orlean:
is built, Covington will be regarded
as suburb of the big city and bus
mess men will come and go daily
as they do elsewhere-preferring tC
sleep outside of the maddening moist
and rush of the city. An electric cal
line between Covington and Mande-
give gives excellent service.
Covington has a priceless advan-
tage in its pure water. There are
flowing artesian wells on every
place, cold, pure, limpid and SEEM
ingly exhaustless. Pure drinking wa
ter, Shreyeports problem, will new
er be Covington's problem, for it has
what would be worth half a million
dollars to our town--wells of pure
