Fulkerson who patiently and low
inQly cared for her mother dur.
inQ her sickness and death. Sis.
ter Payne's husband died March
IL 1881. She never remarked.
For 80 years she remained the
widow of the man she loved in her
girlhood days. Like Ruth, OF old,
she was true, loving and faithful
to her parents, her husband, her
children and her brothers and sis.
ters and was always ready to give
aid and comfort to those needing
her ministrations. Many to whom
she has been an angel Of mercy,
will rise up and call her blessed.
She united with the Malta Bend
Methodist Episcopal church under
the pastorate Of Rev. w. 7. Pyles
Aug. 2 1891 coming to us from
the Congregational Church. She
removed her membership to our
church at Marshall, May rs, 1898,

tian to the day Of her death,
Though suffering intensely for a
year, she was patient and never
complaining; she was resigned to
the will OF God and died as she
lived, triumphantly, gloriously
She passed to her reward on Fri
day. Junei2. 1911, aged 81 years
10 month and % days. Beside:
her two children she leaves foul
sisters and three brothers, Other
relatives and many warm friends

sisters, who have the heartfelt
sympathy OF their friends, beel
bereaved of an affectionate moth

community, the world having beel
made better by her life work

alone can compensate"

OUGHT TO GET BUSY

"Only one million cash needed for
the Lake Pontchartrain BRIDGE" was
the opinion of Mr.. w. C. Lovejoy,
superintendent of the New Orleans
Credit Mems Association Tuesday
morning.
II have been informed that there
is concern in New Orleans that
stands ready to buy up $4,000,000
worth of bonds on one million of
capitilazation. Since the progressive
people of st. Tammany have already
pledged themselves for one-half of
this amount, it seems reasonable to
expect that citizens of this great me-
tropolis will not be found wanting
when weighed in the balance.
Publicity and cooperation" de-
clared Mr.. Lovejoy emphatically, is
the only means of brining this enter
prise to q successful elimination. If
all our people would get together
and boom the good cause with up
tagging zeal, and show their enthu-
siasm by continually talking up the
subject, there is no reason why this
100000 can not be obtained, and
the bonds easily disposed of.

NELSON DENIES HE IMPORTED
MILK.

New Orleans, Aug. 31.-A tele-
gram from Hammond, La, Thursday
morning states that the Hammond
dairymen had received "a tip" that
N. O. Nelson, of the Hammond Co
Operative Dairy Company, had re-
ceived 26 ten-gallon cans of evapor-
ated cream from Nashville. ILL.,, to
meet the threatened emergency when
his supply is cut off Friday.
When asked concerning the state
ments, Mr.. Nelson's said:
There is absolutely no truth in
those statements at all. We have
not ordered any cream nor milk from
Nashville, Ill. Moreover, the price
we have been paying for milk is
wrongly stated. We paid the dairy
men 19 cents gallon for their milk,
and then took the sour milk, which
all the other dealers throw back on
the dairymen's hands. and allow
them about nine cents gallon for
it. This sour milk we use for the
cream which is utilized for the but
ter fat"
1t was claimed that in this Nelson
is violating both state and city health
laws, and the telegram stated that
Sheriff Saal, of Tangipahoa parish
had notified DR.. w. T. O'Reiily. of
the city board of health.
DR.. O'Reilly stated Thursday
morning that he had received no such
information from Hammond, and did
not know that he could do anything
If he had. There is no law under
which the city board of heath is
working that would apply to such
case, according to DIR. O'Reilly.
1--WE had case once of the dairy
men against the city of New Or
leans" said the doctor, which the
city lost the court holding that we
could not hold man responsible In
whose possession bad milk is found
where the milk is brought from out
side the city. If there is any law
being violated in such case 1t would
ceme> under the supervision of the
state board"
1t is said that the reason for the
cutting off of the milk supply from
the Hammond Cooperative Com
pany, 1160 Magazine street, is the
outcome of a controversy between
Nj. Nelson and those at Hammond
who supply his concern with milk,
it being stated that Nelson has only
been paying nine cents per gallon
for milk, whereas the dairymen are
demanding 26 cents per gallon,
which Nelson refuses to pay. The
dairymen gave him until Friday to
devide and it is said if he does not
meet their demand they have agreed
to cut off his supply.
