The quarterly statements of tn,
Banks of St. Joseph and Newellton
published to-day, are unusually in
teresting and show most healthy
condition for the banks.
Hon. Jeff B. Snyder of Tallulah
was a visitor to st. Joseph thi.
week. Mr.. Snyder was looking wei
and his many friends in this his ole
home were glad to see him.
Mr.. E. H. Haly, of hurry, KY,
the popular mule man, who is SC
well-known in this parish, is a Wis.
itor to st. Joseph again with a 10,
of fine mules, the demand for which
has been so great that he is nearly
sold out.
An examination for white teach
ers was held in st. Joseph on Thurs
day and Friday, conducted by Miss
Clara Whitney of the faculty of the
St. Joseph High School. There were
but two candidates to take the ex-
animation.
Owing to the absence of a quo
rum the School Board was unable
to hold its meeting on Thursday
as advertised. Those present were:
w. D. A. Gorton, president, and
R. Y. Newell and w. j. Steen,
members, and 7. NJ. Wade, secre-
tary.
This section of the country was
caught in the grasp of the blizzard
that has ragged with such fury in the
West the past week and on Monday
night the thermometer dropped very
low and brought sleet and snow
which covered the ground for sew
eral days. The cold wave was pre-
coded by very hard and long rain
on Saturday night and Sunday,
which added no little to the discom-
forts of the situation.
Rev. H. R. Carson, of Monroe,
will conduct services in the Union
Church at Newellton on Sunday
morning, January Sth, at 10:45
and at St. Joseph at 7:30 p. m.
Ri. Rev. Davis Sessum, Bishop
of the Diocese of Louisiana, will
visit st. Joseph on Tuesday, Janu-
airy oath, accompanied by Mr.. Car
son, when candidates for confrma-
ton will be presented. The Bishop

er, s. w. Martien, NJ. Kullman,

A. Gorton and Frank Massony. All
officers were reelected, viz: n. B.
Hunter, president, S. w. Martien,
vice president, and G.. d. Brigham,
cashier. The last quarterly state
ment of this bank, issued Deem
Der 28th, and published in the Wa
terproof Enterprise this week, makes
splendid showing and speaks well
for the management of the institu-
ton.
The many friends in st. Joseph
and Tensas parish of Miss Virgie
Braud of Ascension parish, who is
so i'll at the Losey House, have very
kindly evinced the greatest interest
in her condition, as evidenced by
the many enquiries, far and dis
tant, that have come by wire and
mail. Miss Braud, Miss Eloise Meek
err and Mr.. Jas. H. Ellis came to
st. Joseph to attend the wedding of
their friends, Miss Inez Losey and
Mr.. Jas. +. Byram on December
10Th and were guests of the bride.
Miss Braud became i'll on the eve of
the wedding and her condition has
grown steadily worse. Drs. Lilly 4
Trice have been in daily, almost
hourly, attendance, and after SER
ious consideration, decided to call
in consultation Miss Braud's fami-
ly physician, DR.. Roland, of Burn
side, La. DIR. Roland arrived in
st. Joseph on Friday, and was ac-
companied by the patients father,
Hon. H. c. Braud, and Mrs. Irene
Derby, a relative and trained nurse,
and Mr.. J. c. DELPHI. The patients
aunt and sister-in law, respectively, /
Miss Elise Braud and Mrs. Henry
Clay Braud, Jr., arrived last Sun
day and have been in constant at
tendance at her bedside, assisted
by Kate Laws, the efficient and
popular local trained nurse. While
the young lady is very low her con-
dition is not without hope and with
the skilled treatment and nursing
her recovery is fully expected. Her
have about decided that
the malady with which she is suf-
fering is typhoid fever. The family
have expressed the sincerest appre-
